# Validation

Publication requires three independent gates:

1. `construction_strict_pass=true` from `scripts/36_validate_construction_v0_3.py`.
2. `sft_ready=true` from `scripts/33_validate_sft_readiness.py`.
3. `publication_strict_pass=true` from `scripts/38_validate_public_release.py`.

All reports must have `fatal_errors=[]`. Upload is additionally blocked unless the expected pre-upload SHA matches. Revision-locked remote verification tests all seven configs and both splits.
