The header scan (Captain Bob, 2026-11-10): 788 source files -- 351 with the
SL-1.0 header, 12 with the old name (docs/working/experiments, kept by
ruling), 31 under someone else's licence (tools/kconfig, Linux's, GPL-2.0:
kept), and 394 with none. Ruled: the SPDX form; capsules (.4th, .f18) and
proofs (.thy) left for a ruling of their own (mkcapsule's 64x16 block format,
content-addressed capsules).

as a /* */ block (C, headers, assembly, linker scripts) or # lines (scripts,
Makefiles, Kconfig; below a shebang or a coding line); tools/mkcapsule.c,
which had the copyright line, gets the SPDX line only.
Not touched: docs/working/ (archive and old campaign material, as the
ruling kept the experiments); v4/system/post_cases.c (generated by
v4/tools/mkpost.py, "do not edit" -- the generator has the header).
Comments only: the kernel builds on amd64, aarch64, riscv64; make -C v4
test-32: 39 programs, 0 failures; every changed script parses.

Each of the 20 filed claims mapped to its support in the provisional as filed (final_provisional/,
43 pages): claims 1-19 solid or adequate, claim 20 thin. Findings: the K-statistic's definition
contradicts the specification's own data and figures; Solid vs Steady State Machine; claims 10-12
depend on a method as 'the system'; drawings need redoing to 37 CFR 1.84; result invariance and
the Jacquard detail are not disclosed. Recommendations for the non-provisional. Drafting aid, not
legal advice.

The outline for approval before drafting (target filing 2026-12-01..14, citing SSM-001): the method
that produces an operating system and its machine-checked proofs together, parameterised by
language; image and proofs bound by content hash; the self-tuning runtime proven not to change
results. Added 2026-10-28: explicit epistemic status of every claim -- proofs, the method of
construction, and the SDK's book capsule (6.9, and the claims' structure).
