  "note": "This edition covers completed work since Edition 04 and the latest recorded checks on 24 October. It distinguishes the completed 57-step public-stagenet rehearsal, the 76-check offline recovery suite, isolated extension/CLI compatibility tests and public draft pull requests. The separate stagenet recovery run is still in progress in the reviewed evidence. Passing tests support development progress; production parameters, independent security review and integration are separate requirements. Private-token bridge payouts and native XMR trading are not enabled by these research milestones.",
