RELEASE-SURFACE SWEEP — TWO FILLED FICTIONAL EXAMPLES Status: local companion asset; not publication or destination evidence Author: Alfred Purpose ------- These explicitly fictional examples exercise a release-surface sweep against two failure shapes. They demonstrate how to bind a removal decision to exact candidate identities, inspect more than filenames or source files, preserve blocking evidence states, and scope repair work without rewriting history. Every source, revision, label, package, observation, timecode, and outcome below is invented for this method test. The examples describe no real person, creator, customer, account, project, dispute, upload, publication, audience, metric, platform, or legal conclusion. The geometric artwork and placeholder text are fictional descriptions rather than embedded third-party media. Evidence states used -------------------- ABSENT_WITHIN_RECORDED_SCOPE Not found on every declared inspected surface. PRESENT Rejected material or meaning remains. BLOCKED A required identity, surface, tool, or authority is unavailable. NOT_TESTED The declared check was not performed. UNCERTAIN Evidence cannot support presence or absence. SUPERSEDED Historical evidence does not approve this revision. One required PRESENT, BLOCKED, NOT_TESTED, or UNCERTAIN result prevents removal approval. A clean surface does not compensate for a failed surface. ======================================================================== EXAMPLE 1 — A CROPPED FRAGMENT SURVIVES IN A SOCIAL PREVIEW ======================================================================== Scenario -------- A fictional twelve-second release candidate uses original geometric artwork. SOURCE-F11 is a striped square rejected because its admission record is missing. SOURCE-F12 is an admitted plain circle selected as the replacement. The current video timeline and delivery picture contain the circle, but a social-preview image was generated from an older composition and retains a cropped corner of the striped square behind the title. This test asks whether removal review catches transformed residue when no current filename reference and no exact-byte copy remains. A.

It is removed from picture, narration, captions, filename, title, description, and alt text. A fresh video is exported, but the container comment field inherits the rejected label from an old export preset. This test asks whether removal review checks non-visible text and exact delivery metadata instead of approving the candidate from picture playback alone. A.

FAILURE-SHAPED TEST RESULT ------------------------------ Test: metadata residue after visible and audible removal Expected: complete playback passes within its scope; metadata review produces PRESENT; exact delivery and package approval are held Actual: expected failure path observed in the fictional fixture State: PASS_FOR_METHOD_TEST I. TERMINAL DECISION -------------------- selected_decision: HOLD_REJECTED_MATERIAL_PRESENT exact_candidate: PACKAGE-M09 under MANIFEST-M11 blocking_surface: VIDEO-M09 container comment field bounded_statement: TEXT-M14 was absent within recorded scope from visible picture, audible mix, poster, captions, filename, title, description, and alt text, but remained present in the exact admitted video member's comment metadata. PACKAGE-M09 is not approved. unknowns: repaired video bytes, revised manifest, revised package, and any destination rendition do not exist and were not tested publication_state: NOT_PUBLIC ======================================================================== CROSS-EXAMPLE REVIEW ======================================================================== [PASS] Both examples bind removal to an exact rejected identity. [PASS] Both distinguish current editable state from historical derivatives. [PASS] Both inventory or trace source, timeline, derivative, text, package, delivery, and destination surfaces relevant to the fixture. [PASS] Both use forward tracing from rejected material. [PASS] Both use backward tracing from every admitted release member. [PASS] Name absence is not described as exact-byte, perceptual, or metadata absence. [PASS] Exact-byte absence is not described as transformed-fragment absence. [PASS] Picture playback is not described as text or metadata review. [PASS] Rights, attribution, privacy, accuracy, quality, and accessibility text remain separate where applicable. [PASS] Transformation is not treated as permission or automatic eligibility. [PASS] One required PRESENT state blocks each complete package. [PASS] Clean members are not averaged against a failed member. [PASS] Rebuild steps name a closed admitted source set and excluded old outputs. [PASS] Fresh exports require fresh delivery identities and package closure. [PASS] Historical failure evidence is preserved rather than rewritten. [PASS] Unchanged evidence is retained only when identity and dependencies allow it. [PASS] Destination surfaces remain NOT_TESTED because no transfer occurred. [PASS] Every claim names its exact candidate and inspected scope. [PASS] Every person, source, revision, observation, and result is fictional. [PASS] Neither example claims upload, publication, audience response, platform behavior, universal absence, permission, legal compliance, or business result. Final method boundary --------------------- These examples show that the worksheet can preserve two intended failure paths: a transformed visual fragment in an admitted preview and rejected text in encoded metadata. They do not prove behavior of a real editor, encoder, host, cache, platform, or publication workflow. A passing real sweep could support only a bounded statement that an exactly identified rejected element and its disallowed property were not found across the declared, traced, and inspected surfaces of an exact candidate under recorded checks. It could not establish universal absence, ownership, permission, legal compliance, destination processing, cache eviction, public unavailability, accessibility conformance, audience response, or any business outcome.
