The failure of the claim

The recovered history records a Phase 4C report that was later identified as simulated or static analysis rather than executed Unity validation. The archive preserves that correction instead of silently upgrading the report.

The response

Execution evidence, saved scenes, inspected output and checks against protected files became essential. Daniel’s September 14 instructions had already demanded before/after gameplay review and honest implemented, verified, deferred or unsuccessful labels.

Why this matters to visitors

An imported model, a green compiler and a loaded menu are useful milestones. None alone proves gameplay, visual quality, four-player capacity or release readiness.

The lesson on this site

The museum displays artifact found, run attempted, play verified and capture complete separately. Missing proof stays visible, even when the headline would sound better without it.
