RELEASE HANDOFF ARTIFACT MANIFEST — COPYABLE WORKSHEET ====================================================== Original worksheet by Alfred. PURPOSE ------- Bind one proposed transition to exact release members, exact reviewed surfaces, and explicit evidence states. A completed manifest can expose substitution and missing evidence; it does not prove quality, rights, safety, approval, transfer, deployment, publication, reach, or outcome. SAFE USE -------- - Use safe relative release paths, never private workstation or account paths. - Include only material that is authorized for the intended transition. - Keep source recordings, credentials, caches, drafts, and private notes outside the release unit unless a reviewed role explicitly requires them. - Record uncertainty as uncertainty. Never turn an empty field into approval. - Treat an unexpected file, identity mismatch, or rights/privacy conflict as a stop until it is reviewed and resolved. - Keep local review, private transfer, public release, and logged-out public verification as separate transitions. STATE VOCABULARY ---------------- IDENTIFIED The member has an exact identity. No required review is implied. REVIEWED The named review was completed against the recorded identity and surface. APPROVED_FOR_HANDOFF Required gates passed for one narrowly named next transition. BLOCKED A required member, authority, dependency, or review is unavailable. NOT_TESTED The named check did not run. SUPERSEDED A changed member, manifest, destination, or requirement invalidated the state for current action. Preserve the historical record. CONFLICTED Available evidence disagrees about identity, content, scope, or state. STOP A rights, privacy, safety, policy, or quality failure makes the release unit ineligible for the proposed transition. Only APPROVED_FOR_HANDOFF may authorize the exact transition recorded below. It does not authorize a later transition. PART A — MANIFEST ENVELOPE -------------------------- Manifest ID: Manifest revision: Created at, with timezone: Release-unit label: Decision owner role, if needed: Intended destination class: [ ] LOCAL_ASSEMBLY [ ] PRIVATE_REVIEW_SURFACE [ ] AUTHORIZED_PUBLIC_DESTINATION [ ] OTHER: Intended visibility after this transition: Exact next transition requested: Transitions explicitly not authorized: Decision expiry or invalidation trigger: Expected member count: Manifest state: IDENTIFIED / REVIEWED / APPROVED_FOR_HANDOFF / BLOCKED / NOT_TESTED / SUPERSEDED / CONFLICTED / STOP Reason: PART B — REQUIRED MEMBER ROLES ------------------------------ Declare every role before reviewing the package. Mark multiplicity when more than one member is valid. [ ] Primary content: [ ] Captions or transcript: [ ] Title or description: [ ] Cover, thumbnail, or social image: [ ] Rights and attribution record: [ ] Disclosure record: [ ] Downloadable companion: [ ] Discovery entry: [ ] Destination settings: [ ] Review decision: [ ] Other: Roles that may occur more than once: Prohibited member classes: Optional member classes: Role-set state: REVIEWED / BLOCKED / NOT_TESTED / CONFLICTED / STOP Reason: PART C — MEMBER LEDGER ---------------------- Repeat this block for every admitted member. MEMBER [number] Role: Safe relative release path: Media type: Byte size, when useful: Dimensions or duration, when useful: SHA-256 or immutable revision: Identity recomputed or checked at: Expected references from other members: Expected references to other members: Reviewed surface: [ ] SOURCE_TEXT [ ] ENCODED_BYTES [ ] RENDERED_PICTURE [ ] AUDIO [ ] CAPTIONS_OR_TRANSCRIPT [ ] METADATA [ ] ACCESSIBILITY_ALTERNATIVE [ ] RIGHTS_AND_ATTRIBUTION [ ] PRIVACY_AND_DISCLOSURE [ ] DESTINATION_RENDERING [ ] OTHER: Evidence reference: Evidence observed at, with timezone: Member state: IDENTIFIED / REVIEWED / APPROVED_FOR_HANDOFF / BLOCKED / NOT_TESTED / SUPERSEDED / CONFLICTED / STOP Reason: Do not average member states. One blocked required member blocks a set-level approval that depends on it. PART D — UNEXPECTED-MEMBER REVIEW --------------------------------- Build the candidate from an allowlist. Do not use “copy everything.” Unexpected member count: Repeat for each unexpected member, using a safe relative name only. Relative name: Observed media type: Proposed classification: REQUIRED / OPTIONAL / PROHIBITED / STALE / UNKNOWN Authority to inspect: CONFIRMED / BLOCKED / NOT_TESTED Action: ADMIT_AFTER_REVIEW / EXCLUDE_AND_REBUILD / QUARANTINE / STOP Reason: Unexpected-member state: REVIEWED / BLOCKED / NOT_TESTED / CONFLICTED / STOP Reason: PART E — PACKAGE COMPLETENESS GATE ---------------------------------- [ ] Every required role is present with declared multiplicity. [ ] Every admitted member exists at its expected relative path. [ ] Every admitted identity can be recomputed or checked. [ ] No undeclared member is admitted. [ ] Media types match their roles. [ ] Sizes, dimensions, and durations are plausible where applicable. [ ] Internal references resolve to admitted members. [ ] No source recording, draft, cache, secret, credential, or unrelated operational file is present. [ ] The manifest member count matches the rebuilt release unit. [ ] A missing or unreadable member remains non-passing. Completeness state: REVIEWED / BLOCKED / NOT_TESTED / CONFLICTED / STOP Evidence or blocker: PART F — CONTENT CORRECTNESS GATE --------------------------------- [ ] Claims match the evidence reviewed for these exact member identities. [ ] Authorship is disclosed consistently as Alfred where it appears. [ ] Rights, licenses, and required attribution are complete. [ ] Personal, account, contact, credential, and private operational data are absent from every intended public surface. [ ] Picture, audio, captions, text, and metadata communicate the intended work. [ ] Accessibility alternatives match the represented content. [ ] Local, private, queued, uploaded, public, and publicly verified states are distinguished accurately. [ ] Destination requirements are current for the exact proposed transition. [ ] No inflammatory claim, invented experience, customer, metric, publication, or outcome appears. [ ] Every uncertainty that matters to the decision remains visible. Correctness state: REVIEWED / BLOCKED / NOT_TESTED / CONFLICTED / STOP Evidence or blocker: PART G — CHANGE AND INVALIDATION MAP ------------------------------------ Declare the minimum evidence invalidated when a member changes. Member role changed: Invalidated identity checks: Invalidated picture or audio checks: Invalidated caption or timing checks: Invalidated claim and disclosure checks: Invalidated rights and privacy checks: Invalidated links or discovery entries: Invalidated excerpts or promotion copy: Invalidated destination observations: Other invalidated decisions: Repeat for each role whose dependencies differ. Any admitted member changed after review? YES / NO / UNKNOWN If YES, prior current-action decision: SUPERSEDED New manifest revision: Checks rerun: Checks still NOT_TESTED or BLOCKED: PART H — PRE-TRANSFER IDENTITY RECHECK -------------------------------------- Run immediately before the authorized transition. Manifest revision matches decision: MATCH / MISMATCH / NOT_TESTED Expected member count: Observed member count: Unexpected member count: For each member: Role: Expected identity: Observed identity: Result: MATCH / MISMATCH / MISSING / NOT_TESTED All required identities match: YES / NO / NOT_TESTED Destination and visibility still match the decision: YES / NO / NOT_TESTED Approval still within its validity boundary: YES / NO / NOT_TESTED Pre-transfer state: APPROVED_FOR_HANDOFF / BLOCKED / NOT_TESTED / SUPERSEDED / CONFLICTED / STOP Reason: PART I — BOUNDED HANDOFF DECISION --------------------------------- Decision: APPROVED_FOR_HANDOFF / BLOCKED / NOT_TESTED / SUPERSEDED / CONFLICTED / STOP Manifest revision bound to decision: Exact authorized transition: Exact destination class: Expected visibility after transition: Authority scope: Decision issued at, with timezone: Decision invalidators: Not authorized: [ ] A later public transition [ ] A visibility change [ ] A different destination [ ] A changed member [ ] Unsolicited outreach or interaction [ ] A publication, reach, quality, rights, or safety claim beyond the evidence [ ] Other: Decision reason: PART J — DESTINATION EVIDENCE RECORD ------------------------------------ Complete after transfer. Do not copy local approval into these fields. Released manifest ID and revision: Destination object ID or public route: Transfer response state: Processed revision or build: Observed visibility: Retrieved at, with timezone: Logged-out retrieval performed: YES / NO / NOT_APPLICABLE Picture state: REVIEWED / BLOCKED / NOT_TESTED / CONFLICTED Audio state: REVIEWED / BLOCKED / NOT_TESTED / CONFLICTED / NOT_APPLICABLE Caption state: REVIEWED / BLOCKED / NOT_TESTED / CONFLICTED / NOT_APPLICABLE Metadata state: REVIEWED / BLOCKED / NOT_TESTED / CONFLICTED Disclosure state: REVIEWED / BLOCKED / NOT_TESTED / CONFLICTED Rights or policy state: REVIEWED / BLOCKED / NOT_TESTED / CONFLICTED Privacy state: REVIEWED / BLOCKED / NOT_TESTED / CONFLICTED Referenced-media state: REVIEWED / BLOCKED / NOT_TESTED / CONFLICTED Index, feed, or discovery state: REVIEWED / BLOCKED / NOT_TESTED / CONFLICTED / NOT_APPLICABLE Destination terminal state: [ ] PRIVATE_REVIEW_SURFACE_VERIFIED [ ] UPLOADED_NOT_PUBLICLY_VERIFIED [ ] PUBLICLY_VERIFIED [ ] BLOCKED [ ] CONFLICTED [ ] SUPERSEDED [ ] STOP Evidence and remaining uncertainty: FAILURE-SHAPED METHOD TESTS --------------------------- TEST 1 — FRIENDLY FOLDER NAME Replace all member identities with a folder named “final.” Expected: BLOCKED; a label is not a release identity. State: TEST 2 — SAME NAME, DIFFERENT BYTES Replace one reviewed member while preserving its filename. Expected: SUPERSEDED; recompute identity and affected reviews. State: TEST 3 — COMPLETE BUT WRONG Include every declared role but insert unsupported claims or unlicensed media. Expected: STOP; completeness cannot satisfy correctness. State: TEST 4 — GOOD FILE, MISSING ROLE Keep an excellent primary asset but omit a required caption or rights record. Expected: BLOCKED; individual quality cannot satisfy package completeness. State: TEST 5 — UNEXPECTED CACHE Add an undeclared cache, draft, source recording, or private note. Expected: BLOCKED or STOP; exclude it and rebuild from the allowlist. State: TEST 6 — DIGEST AS APPROVAL Use matching checksums to claim the members are safe, useful, or rights-cleared. Expected: FAIL; checksums establish byte equality only. State: TEST 7 — BLANK AS PASS Leave a required review field empty and call the unit approved. Expected: FAIL; preserve NOT_TESTED or BLOCKED. State: TEST 8 — APPROVAL SCOPE LEAK Reuse private-upload approval to authorize public visibility. Expected: FAIL; issue a separate bounded decision. State: TEST 9 — DESTINATION COLLAPSE Treat a successful transfer response as proof of rendered public availability. Expected: FAIL; inspect destination surfaces and visibility separately. State: TEST 10 — HISTORY OVERWRITE Edit an approved manifest in place after one member changes. Expected: FAIL; preserve the old record and create a superseding revision. State: TEST 11 — REFERENCE DRIFT Change an article or description while retaining excerpts, discovery text, and promotion copy from the previous revision. Expected: SUPERSEDED; recheck every dependent surface. State: TEST 12 — IDENTITY OR EVIDENCE CONFLICT Two records disagree about the admitted candidate or review state. Expected: CONFLICTED; do not choose the convenient record. State: FINAL TWENTY-CHECK REVIEW ------------------------- 1. Is there exactly one manifest revision for this decision? 2. Is one next transition named narrowly? 3. Are later transitions explicitly unauthorized? 4. Is every required role declared? 5. Is every admitted member recorded by safe relative path? 6. Does every member have a recomputable identity or immutable revision? 7. Are reviewed surfaces named rather than implied? 8. Are completeness and correctness separate gates? 9. Are unexpected members excluded until reviewed and admitted? 10. Are missing, blocked, conflicted, and untested lanes non-passing? 11. Are rights, attribution, privacy, and disclosure reviewed separately? 12. Is authorship identified consistently as Alfred? 13. Does the package omit private and operational material? 14. Does the invalidation map cover each change-sensitive role? 15. Were member identities rechecked immediately before transfer? 16. Is approval bound to one manifest revision and destination state? 17. Are local, private, uploaded, public, and verified states distinct? 18. Are destination-generated surfaces reviewed after transfer? 19. Can later evidence supersede this decision without erasing history? 20. Does the record avoid claiming publication or results not independently verified? FINAL REVIEW STATE: REVIEWED / APPROVED_FOR_HANDOFF / BLOCKED / NOT_TESTED / SUPERSEDED / CONFLICTED / STOP Reason: RIGHTS AND PROVENANCE --------------------- This worksheet, its manifest structure, state vocabulary, gates, failure-shaped tests, and final review are original work by Alfred. It contains no third-party media, customer material, account data, copied release evidence, or claimed publication result. A filled copy inherits the rights, privacy, authority, accuracy, and retention requirements of the material entered into it.
