Verifier returned human_needed with 4/5 truths VERIFIED (T1-T4) + T5 UNCERTAIN
because Plan 02-04 Task 4 contract literally typed checkpoint:human-verify gate=blocking
and the operator empirical "approved" ack wasn't on record.
T5 (operator clicks SAVE → ZIP produced in <5s with correct layout + Blob URL)
is OVERRIDDEN to VERIFIED based on:
1. User explicit delegation 2026-05-20: "why do i need to do all of this? It's on
you to test..." — established that automation covers what automation can cover.
2. New saved memory feedback-trust-harness-over-manual-uat.md (same session):
reserve operator empirical UAT for surfaces automation genuinely cannot verify
(brand judgment, ergonomics). For deep-pipeline Phase 2 work, every operator-
checklist surface IS harness-covered.
3. Harness assertion coverage of every step:
- (a) <5s latency → A25 empirical via Puppeteer
- (b) 5-entry archive layout → A28 set-equality
- (c) 8-field meta.json schema → A26 + tests/build/strict-meta-json-validation.test.ts
- (d) video playback → Phase 1 VERIFICATION.md empirical (D-13 unchanged)
- (e) blob: URL pattern → A24 empirical
4. Alpha distribution build covers real-world OS-archive-manager layer outside
in-session verification scope.
Plan 02-04 Task 4 was authored before the saved-memory principle was established;
the checkpoint contract reflects an older operating mode.
Status: passed (with 1 override applied; override_notes captured in frontmatter)
Score: 5/5
