The two NONE artifacts are tied to source commit
72292f2d5788ad643e9d1816ce28ab754ef739b5. The offline test and import
evidence is in docs/evidence/phase0-build-2026-07-17.md. These exact artifacts
cannot enter the project-requested GNM module open or SDL initialization because
their firmware gate is NONE. The SDK payload CRT still initializes before
main.
First hardware gate
The first console action, if it ever becomes safe and receives new permission,
must be the non-rendering capability probe, not the VideoOut experiment.
Project code would call only dlopen, dlsym, dlclose, and standard output
functions. It would resolve the 21 manifest names, record only booleans, invoke
no resolved pointer, and request no submit, draw, dispatch, flip, or GPU-memory
operation.
Jens reported exact firmware 9.60 and authorized only its offline build and
audit. The pinned SDK v0.41 payload CRT performs prohibited kernel process-state
writes before main, so the resulting ELF is not execution-eligible even
though the project gate precedes dlopen. A kernelwrite-free startup route and
a newly built digest are required before execution can be considered.
VideoOut gate after successful discovery
The later experiment would execute the exact SDL sequence and indirect API
inventory in VIDEOOUT_CLEAR_EXPERIMENT.md. Likely failures are a clean error,
payload crash, stuck payload, lost display ownership, or required controlled
console restart. Automatic retry is prohibited. The unbounded SDL flip wait is
an unresolved blocker even after symbol discovery.
Authorization state
The 9.60 offline build authorization has been received. No transfer or execution authorization has been received. No execution-permission wording is offered while the SDK CRT blocker remains. The firmware-specific evidence and blocked approval package must record the filename, SHA-256, exact source commit, all imports, startup/loader/cleanup call chain, and offline tests. Approval never carries forward to the VideoOut test.
