Phase 0.9E-R remaining provenance gaps

Date: 2026-07-18

Overall decision: LOCAL_BACKUP_NOT_CORRELATED

Closed questions

• The local outer ZIP retains its Phase-0.9E size and SHA-256.
• The official current inventory consists of releases 1.3, 1.5, and 1.6 and tags Y2JB-1.2.1, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6.
• All seven current official release assets have official SHA-256 digests, names, and sizes different from the local outer ZIP.
• Official tag commits, trees, source archives, and host sender are bound.
• Official Y2JB does not implement a port-9020 listener in the inspected tags.
• Its Remote JS Loader is a dynamic port listener normally seeking 50000.
• Port 9021 belongs to an embedded elfldr path reached after Lapse/kexp.

Remaining gaps

1. The source, author, version, and construction procedure for Y2JB-Autoloader-403-1240.zip are unknown.
2. The MediaFire download marker does not identify an official release asset.
3. The local opaque SIECAF content cannot be matched to official source.
4. No evidence binds the local outer ZIP to what was restored on the PS5.
5. No evidence shows whether download0.dat or app data was later replaced.
6. No evidence identifies the operator's actual host sender.
7. No evidence explains the previously assumed port-9020 listener.
8. The source/generator identity of the 1.6 embedded elfldr and kexp blobs is not present in Y2JB.
9. Runtime behavior on firmware 9.60 remains unobserved.
10. Independent recovery and the current Payload Manager backup remain unresolved installation blockers.
11. The exact requested official source-archive URLs are recorded, but the transient GitHub redirect URLs were not retained.

The official sender is one-way. The JavaScript server can write log bytes on its accepted socket, but payload_sender.py never receives them. Therefore no existing end-to-end duplex result channel is established. Reusing that connection would require a different host contract; an outbound connection or temporary listener would require new target design. No output architecture is selected while the exact-used bootstrap remains unbound.

Phase 0.9F gate

phase09f_offline_design_allowed=false.

The mandatory official outer-asset byte match is absent and the inspected official source has only a 9020 reference, not a found or partial 9020 implementation. Device observation cannot be used to repair these facts in this phase.

Minimum safe next evidence:

• a verifiable publisher/provenance record for the exact MediaFire-marked outer ZIP, or a different operator-provided exact outer ZIP that matches an official asset;
• a completed non-runtime operator attestation;
• exact identification of any external autoloader or 9020 implementation and sender used in the real workflow.

Supplying evidence grants no connection, transfer, installation, execution, autoload, device-write, or retry authority.
