 The executing identity is the non-secret provider-slot, endpoint, and model binding (an api key names no upstream account); the api key and anything derived from it never enter identity, ledger, or output.
 The interim claude reviewer lane is retired end to end: no `api.anthropic.com` host derivation, no `.credentials.json` packaging or boot copy, and no claude launch branch in the model guest.
 The Pi model guest applies the same byte-pinned verdict-body parser as the local gate: a bare JSON object or exactly one complete fenced JSON object with brace-free surrounding prose is accepted, while unterminated fences, multiple complete blocks, brace-bearing remainder, malformed JSON, and non-objects fail closed. The guest independently retains the terminal stream contract too: at least one turn, a final assistant `stop`, and exactly one completed agent are required. Pi's explicit `auto_retry_start` may open a continuation only after a completed attempt executed a turn and did not stop successfully; the continuation starts with empty terminal state and must execute its own turn before completing. `model_guest_pi_verdict_unit` executes the exact shipped heredoc and byte-compares its pure fence parser to the host copy so the self-contained image artifact cannot drift back to `json.loads(final)`.
-Honest limit, corrected three times. A live 2026-08-21 cross-family attempt for PR #285 provisioned a model compartment and reached the guest, but it did not return a valid verdict: Pi produced one fenced JSON object and the guest's then-naive `json.loads(final)` refused it. Until that attempt, both reasons given for the lane not running were wrong. It is not that the image lacks `pi` (stale), and it is not ONLY that the lane is switched off. `$FM_HOME/config/crosscheck-azure.json` carries `"enabled": false`, set by an operator on 2026-08-20 - but flipping that flag would NOT have restored the codex-family path, because a second, independent, in-code blocker sat behind it: the archive gate derived the executing-account identity a second time and returned the BARE account id while the admitted identity carried a `codex:` / `openai-codex:` prefix, so `archived_identity != reviewer_account_identity` was structurally always true. A live run refused there at 04:43Z, before any billable resource. NO codex-family compartment review has ever run; every one of the resource group's historical `fm-crosscheck-model-*` deployments is on the cross-family path, which passed only because both sides there read one shared value. Fixed 2026-08-21, and the FIRST attempt at that fix was incomplete in a way worth recording: it made the host reader and the host archive gate share one derivation, but the model guest carried a THIRD copy that still derived the bare account id, so the refusal simply moved from staging into a booted, paid VM. All three now derive the prefixed identity; the guest cannot import the others because it ships self-contained onto the VM, so `model_guest_executing_account_unit` EXECUTES the guest's own credential block against the host readers to prove they agree, and is red on either the two- or the three-derivation form. A compartment review has still not completed; the only cross-family verdicts accepted so far came from the local Pi reviewer.
+Honest limit, corrected four times. Two live 2026-08-21 cross-family attempts for PR #285 provisioned model compartments and reached the guest, but neither returned a valid verdict. The first produced one fenced JSON object and the guest's then-naive `json.loads(final)` refused it. The second, from the repaired parser at `b987aa9e`, passed that parser but returned a wrapper with `verdict` and no `evidence_files`, so the guest correctly refused the missing evidence manifest. Pi has no `--output-schema`; the prompt called the Crosscheck verdict schema "supplied" without embedding the outer Azure wrapper schema's bytes. The prompt now ends, after the untrusted packet, with the exact compact schema requiring both `verdict` and `evidence_files`; Codex still receives the same schema through its native flag as well.

 The earlier reading of this limit said the built image carries no `pi` binary and needed a rebake. That was measured on 2026-08-16 against gallery version `1.0.1786915905`, whose source managed image `img-fm7c799d-ccm-1.0.0` was built on 2026-08-13 from the pre-Pi declaration and carries no `pi-tarball-sha256` tag (M29 in the owner's mutation ledger, `firstmate-azure-full-completion-mutation-ledger.md`, which lives outside this repository rather than in it). It was already stale when it was written here: `model_image_id` has named `1.0.1787092687` since 2026-08-18T22:45Z.
 That current version was published 2026-08-18T22:38:08Z from managed image `img-fm7c799d-ccm-1.0.1787091895`, which carries `pi-tarball-sha256` `a69a1859...` and `node-tarball-sha256` `d60acfe0...`, matching `docs/azure-crosscheck/model-image-closure.json` for `pi-coding-agent` 0.84.1 and Node v22.23.2. Only a build from the Pi-carrying declaration writes those tags, its Image Builder run succeeded, and that declaration asserts `/usr/local/bin/pi --version` against the tracked version twice under `set -eu`, before and after the credential purge, so a build that reached distribution cannot have omitted `pi`. What remains unproven is a Pi review actually completing on this image, which is a separate claim from the binary being present.
 Both readings were guesses about an image that admission never inspected. It does now: the harness attestation guard described under Operator setup reads `pi-tarball-sha256` and `node-tarball-sha256` off the configured image before any model VM exists, so the next time this question is asked the lane answers it from the image rather than from a document, and a wrong `model_image_id` is refused for free instead of discovered on a paid VM.
@@ -182,7 +182,7 @@ That loses exactly the numbers a failed compartment review would be most useful
 **This is a known gap with a follow-up that must land before any compartment timing is relied on: the lane must be stamped at its START.** It was previously described as bound to an image rebake; there is no rebake to wait for, so the follow-up is gated only on the lane being switched on.
 `docs/crosscheck.md` owns that follow-up, including why stamping `execution_mode` earlier refuses the record instead of fixing it.
 
-No accepted numbers exist yet. The failed 2026-08-21 compartment attempt executed these phases but did not produce the complete Azure reviewer identity record this ledger boundary requires, so its measurements were discarded as described above. The operator-home file still defaults the lane off with `"enabled": false`; that live attempt used the explicit Azure execution-mode opt-in. `bin/fm-crosscheck.sh timings <task-id>` therefore still shows `-` in the `create`, `stage`, `boot`, and `collect` columns for local-lane runs, which is the honest reading: those runs did not do that work.
