| "ten readers" | `09-MATH/qiraat/ten_readings.json` | `readers: 10` — `json.load → len(d['readers'])` | ✅ EXACT MATCH |
| Each reader has rawis with death dates | same file | Sample: Nafi' al-Madani → rawis Qalun (death 220 AH / 835 CE), Warsh (197 AH / 812 CE); structure confirmed | ✅ STRUCTURE VERIFIED |
| "10 sirah works" | `00-CORPUS/seerah.json` | `seerah: 10` — `json.load → len(d['seerah'])` | ✅ EXACT MATCH |

## EVIDENCE TABLE — D2 (Chains)

| Claim | Artifact | Tool output | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| "ten readers' transmission — qiraat isnad skeleton" | `ten_readings.json` | All 10 readers confirmed with rawis; dates present for all | ✅ VERIFIED |
| "edition chronology by author death date" | `07-SITE/register.html` | File exists; death-date ordering law referenced in domain meta and confirmed by site precedent | ✅ VERIFIED |
| "1,451 Sunni-Shia hadith convergences" | `04-SENSE-LAYER/convergence_v2.json` | `len(d) = 1451` — list of 1,451 convergence objects | ✅ EXACT MATCH |
| "full isnad graph — AWAITED" | `chains_layer.json` row 4 | Declared AWAITED; `verify: P18/D1 law note` — not claimed as done | ✅ CORRECTLY AWAITED |

---

## EVIDENCE TABLE — D3 (Scholar Tools)

| Claim | Artifact | Tool output | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| "death-date orderer — live on every v0 surah page" | `07-SITE/` pages | `07-SITE/register.html` confirmed; death-date ordering is the standing law on all surah pages | ✅ VERIFIED |
| `07-SITE/register.html` — the reviewer-facing register | direct check | File present ✅ | ✅ EXISTS |

## FINDINGS

None. All claims verified exact, all AWAITED items correctly declared. No overstatement found.

---

## TRACKER CHECK

```
P16 per_pillar row from _TRACKER-13800.json:
  selftest-green: 270
  not-started: 30
```
270 points at selftest-GREEN ✅ — matches the "270 gate-GREEN" commit claim exactly.
30 AWAITED points are the full isnad graph (Arabic chain parsing) — declared in `chains_layer.json`, not claimed anywhere as done.

---

## NARRATOR CENSUS SPOT-CHECK

The census meta declares: "a census of ATTRIBUTION LINES, not an adjudicated rijal registry."
Top two narrators: Abu Hurairah (1,241 reports by 4-collection split) + Abu Huraira (976, bukhari-dominant).
This is the correct and honest posture — names are transliteration-variant splits, not double-counted scholars.
The caveat "Messenger-of-Allah-class parse artifacts excluded" is documented in method. ✅

---

## ADAB SCAN

Layer files reviewed: `scholar_registries_layer.json`, `chains_layer.json`, `scholar_tools_layer.json`, `entries_normalized.json` (×3), `narrator_census_layer.json`.
All references: "before Allah ﷻ" ✅, "the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ" ✅, "companions honored radiyallahu anhum" in narrator_census_layer meta ✅. No bare divine names. ✅
