GitHub-only gates have no invented X URL. Do not merge the X week with the Git ladder.

Three clocks. Main STATUS publishes v15.44/v15.45 and keeps the v15.03 obstruction. v15.98–v16.55 are research branches, not merged to main. The 10 Oct overlapping-guard tip is scoped C3, not a general no-go and not numbered v16. Not a source. Not Einstein.

Three clocks — do not merge

1) Main STATUS.md is a publication note for v15.44 and v15.45. It does not erase the v15.03 obstruction; that file is kept as HISTORICAL_STATUS_v15.03.md. Source correspondence NOT_EVALUATED. Pillar 3 OPEN. 2) v15.75 through v15.97 are research-branch publications. None is merged. v15.78–v15.97 is one line of separate verdicts, including scientific NOs. v15.88 applies a 2003 entanglement-breaking theorem; it does not derive quantum mechanics. v15.95 holonomy is a one-axis tangent at fixed support, not Einstein. Branches v15.56–v15.74 are not adopted here. scientific_breakthrough: false.

v15.43	response curvature nonzero	main folder	CANONICAL_RESPONSE_CURVATURE_NONZERO. Source NOT_EVALUATED. Not the head of the line.
v15.44	intrinsic curvature interpretation	main	No source fit. Next object after v15.43, now published.

v15.46–53	obstruction witness	#57 unmerged	Same retained O, inequivalent τ. REPRESENTATION_NONUNIQUE. Not STATUS.
v15.54	operational comparator	receipts, not main	Verifier GREEN claimed. Final RESULTS.json freeze required. Not QM derived.
v15.55	source–compatibility response	research branch, not main	RESPONSE_NONUNIQUE. Seven coefficients, branch-swap rank 3, four degrees of freedom. Not a unique source. Not STATUS.
v15.56–v15.74	intervening research branches	not audited	Branches exist. This compile does not adopt their RESULTS. Not STATUS.
v15.75	affine open null	research branch, not main	AFFINE_OPEN_NULL_RETAINED_CLOSED_CONFIRMED and separate CPTP_POINTWISE_NULL_ONLY_CONFIRMED. Do not merge them.
v15.76	CPTP finite composition	research branch, not main	FROZEN_CHANNEL_FINITE_NULL_OBSTRUCTED and separate ANCHOR_FIXED_CPTP_COMPOSITION_NULL_CONFIRMED. Do not merge them.
v15.77	active baseline	research branch, not main	ACTIVE_RETAINED_BASELINE_COMPOSITION_NULL_CONFIRMED and separate EQUAL_NORM_SKEW_BASELINE_VISIBLE_CONFIRMED. Does not rescue v15.76.
v15.78–v15.97	covariance through overlap response	research branches, not main	Twenty gates with RESULTS.md. Each says no merge. v15.81 window is a NO. v15.88 applies Horodecki–Shor–Ruskai 2003. v15.90 falsifies a Choi extension. v15.95 is not Einstein.
v15.98–v16.35	four-body exposure through fiber barriers	research branches, not main	Published. v15.99 is INVALID. v16.13F is a partial closure with composition underdetermined. v16.35 barriers are not distances. Not Einstein.

v16.39	saturation condition	exploratory, not main	SC implies unit barriers. Sufficient, not a characterization. Not numbered-stage certified.

v16.48	internal-chain induction	integration branch, not main	PR #96, 0c0efebe, receipt cb086f9. Chains only. Older README still says PRE-CLOSURE. Not a source.
v16.49	fork of two chains	receipt closeout approved, not main	9ffa81c. Scoped CLOSED/CERTIFIED. Not arbitrary trees.
v16.50	repeated binary composition	PR #98, not main	Total excursion at most 1. Not balanced-only. Directed cases are not a census.
v16.51	one ternary root	PR #99, not main	Hitting number 2. Repeated ternary composition still open at this gate.

v16.53	arity 2, 3, or 4	PR #101, not main	Arity 5 out. Counts are not the theorem.
v16.54	floor-two connectivity	PR #102, not main	Hitting number stays in {q-1, q}. Higher floors OPEN.
v16.55	bounded renewable guard	PR #103, not main	R1–R5 only. Not universal X15U.
A11.X59–X61	analytical checkpoints	overlapping-guard branch, not main	Not numbered v16. X60 is not arbitrary-root repair. X62–X64 are not closed.
A12.1–A12.5	self-contained closeout	issue #104, not main	Not numbered v16. Not physical validation. Graph-descriptor impossibility withdrawn as unproved.
Post-A12 at 6a99418	scoped proofs then	not main	Auxiliary cycle breaking was the next line. It is not the 10 Oct frontier.
C3 reserve	spare capacity not reachable	tip 1e7cd09, not main	Not a general impossibility. Not connectivity.
C3 repair	scoped interfaces	not main	Not broad C3. Not guaranteed progress.
C3 readout	counts without access	not main	Does not initialize the hidden record.

Behind STATUS.md if they disagree. Pillar 3 OPEN.

Retained records can support a curvature-like operator (v15.45, main). Ordinary state perturbation cannot move the exterior world if A_G is frozen. The retained description O does not uniquely fix a deeper realization τ (v15.46–53, #57). v15.54 asks whether that gap survives a frozen classical comparator; independent verifier GREEN is necessary but not the final certificate. v15.55 ran on its research branch. RESULTS.json says RESPONSE_NONUNIQUE: seven coefficients, branch-swap rank 3, composition and naturality add no further rank, four degrees of freedom survive. The next missing object is a first-principles selector or a richer defect structure. That is not a unique source. v16.36 does not supply one. A unit barrier bound does not either, and it also does not prove that the retained structure cannot contribute.
