Eval / watcher layer — vendored software gate

Layer 4 (Q-PRISM control) and Layer 5 (N-Nest depth-3/depth-7 watcher) now have selected source files directly vendored under eval/vendor/, pinned to their original public commits. eval/UPSTREAM-LOCK.json was copied from asolaria-stone-to-moss@f032bc0 without rewriting its expected blobs.

python eval/vendor_gate.py checks the original Git blob identities, runs the upstream Q-PRISM controls and N-Nest programs, exercises honest and negative watcher cases, then audits SHA-256/HBP/HBI evidence. GitHub CI runs this gate alongside the existing kernel and throat jobs. No Rust source was modified.

The original upstream_bridge.py, adversarial_watcher.py, and forged_watcher.py remain intact as reference sources. The new vendor adapter uses checked exact file bytes rather than requiring full upstream Git checkouts. The adapter additionally runs a deliberately forged subprocess watcher and requires the parent recomputation gate to hold.

Evidence classes

Execution on actual electronic hardware is real computation. These control inputs are synthetic software simulations, not measurements of neural signals, optical memory, matter waves, or biological photocycling.

source_authenticated=false, physical_host_attested=false, neural_training_performed=false. Source Git SHA-1 and receipt SHA-256 establish bytes and consistency, not custody or instrument provenance.

Test invocation

python -m pip install -r eval/vendor/qprism-control/requirements.txt
python eval/vendor_gate.py
