Target ledger and release ladder

L.0 Frozen XVI-K dependency and target ledger › Target ledger and release ladder · lines 223–256

Level	Release claim	Status in this draft
L-A	Complete-source, full-vertex selected extension and root-attached coefficient constructed	Constructed, conditional on (R1)–(R3)
L-B	Finite-dimensional coherent contact freedom characterized abstractly by all numerical-kernel relations; selected constraints exhibited	Abstract characterization (raw counts 14321/321/14000 are not dimensions)
L-C	Scale-dependent prescription family and local infinitesimal scale variation constructed	Constructed, conditional on (R1)–(R3) (explicit nonzero scaling residue Unresolved)
L-D	Particular counterterms matched to local gravitational or insertion functionals — only where proved	Not claimed (L.8 records matching questions only; no match proved)
