# v0.25.0 integrity + Elder Futhark discovery validation

Date: 2026-08-14  
Release: 0.25.0  
Canonical origin: `https://xn--rxe.com`

## Scope

This local validation covers the v0.25.0 release-integrity manifest/public evidence page and Elder Futhark SEO/AEO/GEO discovery pass. It does not prove live deployment, production crawler access, rankings, Search Console/Bing state, answer-engine citations, domain ownership, cryptographic authorship, autonomous execution, or external factual currentness.

## Results

- PHP syntax: **132 PHP files**, zero lint failures under PHP 8.4.23.
- Canonical sitemap: **111 HTML routes**, all returned local HTTP 200 through the PHP built-in server.
- Metadata: all 111 routes had unique non-empty titles and descriptions, self-canonical URLs, matching Open Graph URLs, and `html lang="und-Runr"`.
- Elder Futhark metadata boundary: rendered titles/descriptions contained rune prose; Latin text remained only where allowed as technical/domain forms.
- Document structure: all 111 routes had exactly one H1, one main landmark, and one footer.
- JSON-LD: all rendered structured-data blocks parsed as JSON.
- FAQ/AEO: home, terminology, `/elder-futhark/`, and `/transparency/integrity/` had structured FAQ questions/answers matching visible rendered content.
- Discovery files: `robots.txt`, `sitemap.xml`, `llms.txt`, `answers.json`, and `release-manifest.json` all resolved locally.
- Static formats: sitemap XML and machine-readable JSON artifacts parsed successfully.
- No live deployment or outbound crawler/indexing submission was performed.

## Release-integrity boundary

The final `release-manifest.json` is regenerated after all release files are written. It inventories every package file except itself and records exact repository-relative path, byte size, and SHA-256. The exclusion is explicit because self-hashing would be recursive.

The manifest proves only the byte identity of the covered package files when recomputed. It does not establish production deployment identity, legal ownership, authorship, machine autonomy, or the correctness/currentness of external factual claims.

## Preserved research authority

This pass does not alter the accepted 49 curated report bodies, report manifest/hash authority, report-local reference/section traceability model, glossary registry, 42-entry source-bundle ledger, or the established first-party runtime boundary.
