# Enter the Field v0.4.0 RC1 — B5 Offline Verification Report

**Date:** 2026-07-25  
**Target:** first v0.4 Netlify review deployment  
**Publication mode:** review / noindex  
**Live-site changes during B5:** none

## Release-candidate scope

The B5 candidate contains 11 core routes, 47 Project Genome rooms, nine region rooms, Gallery, Archive, Music, Public Ledger, Human Garden, and the completed Principles, About, and Contact orientation layer.

## Offline gates passed

- Constellation registry: 47 projects, nine regions, 47 relationship edges, four featured gateways.
- Tier 1 rooms: 23 expanded rooms; 22 draft, one representative benchmark.
- Living Archive: 158 pre-B5 artifact records, 99 bound artifacts, 77 pre-B5 public ledger entries, six music lanes, 47 Genome snapshots, nine region snapshots, and 23 Tier 1 field cards.
- B5 release configuration and review/public boundaries.
- Accessibility source safeguards across all TSX/JSX files.
- Route and asset existence checks across core, project, region, and bound-artifact routes.
- Static-export source rules: no request-time server APIs and all dynamic routes enumerated.
- TypeScript/TSX syntax parsing.
- Relative import resolution.
- Secret-pattern scan: no keys, tokens, passwords, phone numbers, or email addresses detected in the public source package.
- Review-mode headers remain configured with `noindex, nofollow, noarchive`.
- Netlify publish directory remains `out`; Node remains pinned to 22.17.0 for Netlify.

## Gates that must run on Release Candidate Deploy 1

The local dependency installation could not complete because the workspace package gateway returned HTTP 503 while fetching an npm tarball. The local workspace also runs Node 22.16.0 while the deployment is intentionally pinned to Node 22.17.0.

Therefore these gates are not claimed as locally passed:

- Next.js semantic build and static export.
- Full TypeScript semantic typecheck.
- ESLint.
- Vitest unit suite.
- Playwright route, interaction, accessibility, Field Engine, and screenshot suites.
- Exported HTML route and identity validation.

The Netlify Release Candidate build must show both `Compiled successfully` and `Validated static export` before the review URL is trusted.

## Deployment-credit discipline

- B5 used zero Netlify deployments.
- Deploy 1 is reserved for this RC package.
- All review notes should be collected and fixed offline in one batch.
- Deploy 2 is reserved for the final noindex acceptance candidate.
- A third deployment is emergency-only.

## Decision

**READY FOR RELEASE CANDIDATE DEPLOY 1, WITH BUILD-TIME GATES EXPLICITLY PENDING.**

This is not yet a public-production approval. It is the package intended to spend the first v0.4 review deployment.
