Firmware and ABI checklist

Firmware identity

• Exact user-visible firmware identifier supplied by Jens
• Reproducible identification method documented without kernel access
• Identifier added to one candidate build only
• FIRMWARE_COMPATIBILITY.md row created as untested
• No compatibility inferred from another revision

Discovery gate

• Capability-probe artifact manifest and SHA-256 reviewed
• Explicit artifact-specific execution permission recorded
• Probe resolves names only and invokes no resolved pointer
• Redacted result log archived
• Runtime module candidate confirmed or rejected for this firmware

SDL/VideoOut evidence

• SDL source commit pinned
• Zlib license and overlay notice recorded
• Project code uses public SDL2 APIs only
• Keyboard/IME initialization removed from the staged build
• Direct GNM imports forbidden
• Bounded flip-wait or safe supervisor proven
• Cleanup behavior observed on this exact firmware

Artifact review

• Clean source commit matches manifest
• SDK and SDL commits match locks
• Firmware is not NONE
• ELF filename, size, and SHA-256 match
• Imports match the API inventory
• Offline host, static-analysis, cross-compile, and secret tests pass
• Transfer and execution remain false until separately approved

Any unchecked runtime item blocks execution.
