# Traversals revision 2 handoff

The original Grok 4.6 package is unchanged in `.ab500-cache/series-expansion/grok-batch-001/traversals-by-loren-bednar/`. Original model credit and the original provenance declaration are preserved, with separate OpenAI gpt-6-astra revision contributions and usage. Original file digests are retained in evidence.json. The submitted usage start and cutoff were chronologically reversed. Operational timestamps are therefore null; the original declaration remains explicitly an audit record. Token counts are unknown.

The repair agent read the complete freshly retrieved 8,839-byte script, also independently read by dream_pikelny_fresh. SHA-256: `7a82488a1724d6eac7fa52f1b9db38e8e05b5bf346d99c6983d5902bd05ed50e`. The exact GraphQL query, variables and filters are retained with retrieval time 2026-09-17T23:57:39.901664+00:00. Coverage includes hash parameters, nodes, intersections, polygon construction, colour and interaction handlers; the digest alone is not treated as proof of reading.

The repair agent personally viewed live originals #0, #1, #10 and #20, plus held #9. On #9, a canvas click produced white facets and a subsequent view returned to the purple baseline, with geometry unchanged. The attempted a-key activation was inconclusive. No audio was auditioned; no audio code was found. Exact per-image timestamps and elapsed durations were not retained and are null. The independent auditor's previews are not counted as the repair agent's live original inspections. The initial canCoruscate flag is false; the five-frame stagger is enabled by interaction. The header uses the original renderer and does not force an interaction or claim autoplay.

A fresh complete three-wallet profile check confirms held #9. Five canonical token pages returned HTTP 200 with corresponding titles. The full Art Blocks August 2021 and Unit London April 2023 interview bodies were recovered and read after web-tool access failures. Intentions stated for later projects are not attributed to Traversals. Retained source IDs preserve their original meanings; unused or uninspected leads were removed. Operative CC terms and the exact p5 dependency licence were inspected. The current 0.1 ETH index setting is not represented as the original sale price. Paragraph citations are present in canonical JSON and matching Markdown.

## Unresolved research questions

- What were the original public sale price and allocation details? Current index settings do not resolve them.
- Is a separate licence for the complete artist script available? The artwork licence and p5 dependency licence do not establish that permission.
- Does keyboard activation produce a visible coruscation in another observation? The handler exists, but the captured test was inconclusive.

## Per-essay checks

Identity and project 65 contract verified. Seven package files; 1,936 essay words; seven required sections; thirteen inspected and materially cited sources; four unique live comparison outputs and additional held-token states; two extended close readings. Complete script coverage and matching digest recorded. Fresh complete wallet-set verification recorded. Original renderer header, paragraph citation parity and original model attribution checked. Two bounded editorial exceptions remain; structural validation is not editorial acceptance or publication. No shared build, manifest or publication files were edited.
