# Orb: local release-candidate validation — October 2, 2026 The full reproducible gates were run on the current Web3 checkout. This is a local testnet candidate, not a new public deployment or an independently audited release. No Git push, production database change, public-wallet transaction or credential rotation was performed during the full gate run. The later funded contract rehearsal is recorded separately below. ## Fresh gate results | Gate | Result | Scope | | --- | --- | --- | | `node scripts/check-production.mjs` | 50 / 50 passed | Isolated API/authorization fixtures and real Solidity execution on disposable EVMs | | `node scripts/check-production-http.mjs` | 30 / 30 report entries passed after the targeted correction below | Migration, production build and 28 local production-server/API/browser suites; public market/RPC reads are read-only | | `node scripts/check-production-ui.mjs` | 20 / 20 passed | Actual components in browsers; simulated Privy/venue sessions and real local contract execution | | TypeScript `--noEmit` | Passed | Current source type checking | | Targeted submission scan with `--history` | No matching patterns in 885 text files and 58 commits | Does not cover all secret formats, binary archives or external provider state | | `npm audit --omit=dev` | 23 moderate, 0 high, 0 critical | Registry advisories for the resolved production dependencies; not a security guarantee | The full HTTP attempt initially passed 29 of 30 report entries. The entry-proof control browser test expected its new community to be visible without expanding the sidebar's four-community list. The test now follows the actual “See all” action before opening that community. Its targeted rerun passed against a new disposable database and the same production build. No application permissions, assertion of gate behavior or rate limits were weakened. The remaining 29 successful entries were retained from the full run; this is not a claim that a second full HTTP run was necessary or performed. The offline and component-browser reports were fresh full executions, not merges of prior targeted results. Report timestamps were approximately 22:41–22:46 UTC on October 2 (19:41–19:46 in São Paulo). ## Reviewable evidence Ignored local outputs are in `work/production-readiness-2026-10-02/`: - `offline-results.json`, `http-results.json`, `ui-results.json` and suite logs; - `audit-candidate.json` for the production dependency audit; - the source/candidate fingerprint records this mutable checkout without adding a Git commit or exposing environment files. Do not publish test databases, private provider settings, logs containing personal data or signing material. A source fingerprint identifies the checked source; it is not an audit, publisher signature or public-release identifier. Record the final deployed commit/build separately after a reviewed deployment. The direct production dependency flagged by the audit is the Privy React SDK and its dependency paths. The suggested automatic fix points to an older SDK release; no force downgrade was applied. Evaluate supported upstream fixes and regression test any wallet SDK change before commercial mainnet use. ## What remains before submission 1. Review/commit the candidate and prepare the separate Orb testnet release, migrations, backup and rollback. The normal Orbita service stays separate. 2. Rotate previously exposed provider credentials and revoke old venue keys. 3. Publish the reviewed candidate, then complete the selected flows with two real Privy accounts, distinct wallets and public testnet receipts. Check real venue fills, balances and failure recovery; fixtures do not establish those outcomes. 4. Actually retain the capsule on IPFS and verify its availability from another client. Check the exact Arena version/contracts if onchain gameplay is shown. 5. Run the small user pilot, prepare public source/docs and record the actual demo. The real-account rehearsal, physical microphone/live/device acceptance, Oracle restore/load/rollback drill and independent wallet/contract/E2EE review remain open. No claim of exhaustive testing or commercial production readiness is made. See the [submission checklist](orb-submission-checklist.md), [real-account contribution rehearsal](orb-hackathon-rehearsal.md), [two-person trading rehearsal](orb-two-person-demo.md) and [security release gate](orb-security-release.md). ## Later local UX changes and funded rehearsal The navigation was simplified to five daily destinations, with searchable Explore for secondary tools. Wallet and Assistant now live inside Trade, which exposes four primary tasks and puts its other modes under More tools. Home sessions load when opened. Expanded community lists no longer sit under the profile footer. After these changes, TypeScript and a fresh production build passed. The production responsive and command-palette suites passed on a disposable database. The usability, assistant-chat, community-trade and Passport continuity component suites passed. The remaining entries in the earlier full reports were retained; this was targeted validation, not a new full 50/20/30 execution. Palette assertions now follow Explore for secondary destinations instead of expecting all features to remain in the sidebar. Desktop and mobile layouts were also inspected visually. Two newly funded EOA demo wallets completed the separate [public contract rehearsal](orb-testnet-rehearsal-2026-10-02.md): 16 successful testnet transactions, mission payment and independent demo AMM swaps. These results do not close the real Privy account, venue fill or IPFS availability acceptance items above. The local UI changes were not pushed or deployed. ## Direct-navigation revision after founder feedback The following local revision restores all fourteen direct desktop tabs in task groups. Home now places communities beside compact shortcuts instead of the large intent selector. The mobile community picker and feature search are retained. The focused usability suite passed at 1440, 1024 and 390 pixels. Session scheduling, RSVP, feed follow and receipt-sharing checks also passed on disposable fixtures. These checks do not assert a fresh full production build or real Privy acceptance. After a computer interruption, the root TypeScript/Next declarations and ignored development cache contained null bytes. The damaged files/cache were preserved in ignored work/ux-restore and restored/regenerated. The independent video output project remains excluded from the app's TypeScript scope. No database recovery or production service change was performed.
