+# Native ingestion live-provider verification (2026-11-03)
+
+The ordinary native task flow and Stop journey passed against the compiled
+application at `b9a66be242395a4bab671d512643e338fbac77fe`. This is functional
+integration acceptance, separate from paired performance measurements.
+
+The environment was macOS arm64, Node 26.4.0, embedded PostgreSQL 18.1,
+OpenCode and the real provider model
+`openrouter/deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash-0731`. The database and company were
+isolated disposable fixtures. Server/UI build hashes and exact identifiers are
+retained in [launch provenance](native-event-ingestion-2026-11-03/live/live-launch.json).
+
+| Journey | Observed and independently checked outcome |
+| --- | --- |
+| Normal visible task creation | Ordinary assistant text rendered while the run was active; native `list_task_documents` completed; the result was accepted. |
+| Reload | The completed transcript and result remained present. The run stored 33 `item.delta` events; an ordinary assistant delta was independently matched while active. |
+| Stop | A second task executed native `bash` with `sleep 60`; clicking Stop produced canonical cancellation acknowledgement. Reload retained the stopped transcript without a second run. |
+| Persistence | Direct PostgreSQL reads verified 126/69 global rows, company/run/source identities, all 101 canonical payload hashes and projection markers. Physical process settlement was independently recorded. |
+| Cleanup | Owned server and PostgreSQL stopped, both ports independently closed, temporary credential-bearing directories removed. |
+
+Success run: `e51fe504-e971-4ba1-a146-d91b5b8c92ae`.
+Stop run: `9807b34f-4325-462d-bcd2-4addf66696e3`.
+The stopped source's cursor remains at 24 before missing raw source sequences
+25/26 and retained sequence 27. This preserves the sparse-source contract. A raw
+wire acknowledgement does not universally imply ordinary transcript durability.
+
+The observed Stop acknowledgement interval was 481 ms. It is one functional
+sample; no performance comparison or tail-latency claim follows from it.

+- [Browser journey outcomes and identifiers](native-event-ingestion-2026-11-03/live/live-provider-result.json)
+- [Independent PostgreSQL proof](native-event-ingestion-2026-11-03/live/independent-database-proof.json)
+- [Independent lifecycle and OS settlement proof](native-event-ingestion-2026-11-03/live/independent-lifecycle-process-proof.json)
+- [Build receipt](native-event-ingestion-2026-11-03/live/build-receipt.json) and [command exit/helper hash receipts](native-event-ingestion-2026-11-03/live/execution-receipts.json)
+- [Cleanup receipt](native-event-ingestion-2026-11-03/live/cleanup.json)
+- [Credential scan](native-event-ingestion-2026-11-03/live/artifact-secret-scan.json) and [file SHA256 manifest](native-event-ingestion-2026-11-03/live/manifest.json)
+
+The original artifact scan inspected 3,710 retained files and decompressed trace
+entries and found zero exact qualification-credential matches. These selected
+public files were scanned again before copying. No credential is committed.
+The screenshots below supply the reviewable visual evidence. The video and
+full trace remain optional local supplements.

+
+## Reproduce
+
+[The live-provider helpers and instructions](../../scripts/native-ingestion/README-live.md)
+document the tested helper origins and follow-up review fixes. The journey used
+the original helper bytes recorded in the B9 source tag and command receipts;
+current helpers repair setup/observation false failures, with a separate nine-case
+[red/green receipt](native-event-ingestion-2026-11-03/live/helper-review-regressions.json). The independent database
+verifier is a reconstructed utility, now exercised against this live journey's
+raw PostgreSQL rows. Its [exact command record](native-event-ingestion-2026-11-03/live/independent-database-verifier-command.json)
+and aggregate proof are included. Its separate real-PostgreSQL qualification
+also rejected persisted hash/cursor corruption. The owned live database was
+removed after verification. The earlier 6afeba4 journey remains historical;
+its different 84-digest proof did not use this newer verifier.
+
+The earlier browser attempt failed observer qualification: it watched a tool
+progress marker only in completed transcript bubbles and missed its live
+presentation. The successful helper requires a matching ordinary delta visibly
+rendered while the run is still active. The failed attempt remains excluded.
+This work does not establish deployed production performance or a 10,000-agent
+qualification.
