# i™ Bootstrap Evidence Checklist

**I_SYSTEM_LIVE = FALSE — no runtime activation performed.**

A checklist item becomes verified only when evidence is produced by the canonical implementation and independently checked. User ticks or arbitrary uploaded files cannot activate execution.

| Gate | Current status |
|---|---|
| REPOSITORY_FEDERATION_DISCOVERED | EVIDENCE REQUIRED |
| REPOSITORY_SHAS_PINNED | EVIDENCE REQUIRED |
| CAPABILITY_OWNERS_UNIQUE | EVIDENCE REQUIRED |
| DUPLICATE_IMPLEMENTATIONS_RESOLVED | EVIDENCE REQUIRED |
| AGENT_I_IMPLEMENTATION_FOUND | EVIDENCE REQUIRED |
| AGENT_I_ARTIFACT_FOUND | EVIDENCE REQUIRED |
| ARTIFACT_HASH_VERIFIED | EVIDENCE REQUIRED |
| CHECKPOINT_LINEAGE_VERIFIED | EVIDENCE REQUIRED |
| PROMOTION_GATE | EVIDENCE REQUIRED |
| MODEL_FORWARD_PASS | EVIDENCE REQUIRED |
| BUDDY_TO_AGENT_IMCP | EVIDENCE REQUIRED |
| AUTHO_TO_IFOUNDATION | EVIDENCE REQUIRED |
| AGENT_I_TO_ITOOL | EVIDENCE REQUIRED |
| ED25519_IRECEIPT | EVIDENCE REQUIRED |
| INDEPENDENT_VERIFIER | EVIDENCE REQUIRED |
| SYSTEM_BOOT_LEDGER | EVIDENCE REQUIRED |

## Current blockers

The fetched federation validator accepted all three invalid test cases: legacy runtime binding, missing canonical binding, and unknown connected repository. Fix and test the canonical validator before synchronization or promotion.

No real model forward pass, trusted Ed25519 authorization, independently verified production iReceipt or SYSTEM_BOOT ledger entry has been established for this workspace.

## Promotion requirements

- held_out_loss < equal_size_dense_baseline
- finite_nonzero_gradient_coverage >= 90%
- generated_weight_diversity == PASS
- parameter_elements_changed > 0
- checkpoint_recovery == PASS
- parent_hash != child_hash
- parameter_budget_delta <= 1%

## Required evidence record

Each gate needs the canonical owner, pinned source commit, execution identifier, input and output digests, timestamp, verifier identity, verification result, and immutable evidence location. Promotion must reject missing, stale, revoked or conflicting evidence.
