One-page Track A release note

boundary (unchanged; reproduced verbatim). The target remains the independently frozen original-rod lapse variant on the explicit on-shell power-law Einstein–scalar background with external cosmic time. XX-B closed Q1 only for the compact-test gauge-fixed free multiplet. XX-C supplies local subtraction, compact-source dipole tails, a conditional one-sided covariance-tail theorem, a same-class non-positive representative, the native two-rod inverse-distance obstruction, and the subsidiary-defect actual-image criterion; it does not select a positive physical state or unconditional native tails. XX-D constructs the complete classical second jet (with $Y_2$ absent because ${\partial }_i{N}_0=0$), the native unsmoothed classical insertion on the spatial Schwartz domain, compact-source-cutoff microcausal Wick symbols, and a conditional native one-contraction Wick symbol whose infrared hypotheses remain unverified for any selected XX-B/XX-C representative. Products requiring two noncompact rod legs are undefined without further control, and a universal inverse-square two-rod bound is excluded. The native quantum Q3 gate therefore remains open. Every link to prior manuscripts is a separation or checklist (declared path null). Source records are never premises. No quantum evolution without external time, no inherited characteristic quantum coefficient, no compilation, no discharge of XVI-N/Route B, no opening of XV-B, and O.1 remains NOT_CLOSED outside the narrow XVI-Q scope.

decision. This note records the actual release; it is not a substitute for closing Q2–Q5. Track A's quantum relational observable remains unresolved.
