Reader view	Auditor view

The status chip links to that day's integrity report. A clean run means every deterministic contract check passed. Links resolve to selected corpus items, sections routed correctly, source health declared. It does not mean the summary is faithful to the linked article. Nothing here checks that.	Zero findings at the publication gate. The report exposes the audit manifest, states that semantic faithfulness was no
