XVI-Q Q01: scope and registration

XVI-Q is a new landmark (registered locally: registration/local_registration.json; not published). Its aim is to import XVI-P's verified ${\ell }_4$ to discharge O.2, to state the bulk identity, and to attempt O.1 closure. XVI-O, XVI-N and XVI-P are read-only. They are imported by sha256 (intake/imports.json; XVI-P frozen at p23, source zip 3f4a88db). Q01 covers the intake and O.2. O.1 stays NOT_CLOSED, bulk symmetry is not claimed, and the insertion stays frozen.

.1 target (XVI-O ledger, verbatim). “one-loop_order_kappa2_bulk_two_point_on_S_inv”: bulk two-point (graviton, scalar, ghost), including the Einstein–scalar $hh$ channels and the vertex-derived gh$=0$ BV/source tree seeds; baseline $S_{\mathrm{inv}}$; frozen gauge fermion; $m=0$. Closure requires a verified retained quantum identity with O.2, O.4, O.5, O.6 and O.7 earned.

from the p23 review (intake).

• E1 (medium): the p23 O.5 line “all $E=2$ graphs evaluated” overclaims. D04 and D05a were never evaluated, D06 only as the ghost self-energy, and D12 is Missing. Bulk O.5 is open.

• E2: the stated reason “grav ${\ell }_4$ Incomplete” is stale.

• E3: guard bypasses (fixed here).

• E4: gate value gaps (fixed here: every number is value-checked).

• E5: scaleless 5-leg tadpoles are missing from the ${\kappa }^3$ inventory.
