Freshness audit (RED)

Before any build or reference command, NSNR-EVID-001..007 failed as expected. implementation-report.md, build-test.md, and reference-comparison.md were absent. The global documents still advertised --output, only the prior linear output path, and did not state the approved nonlinear current-arm/reaction and fine/coarse reference dispositions. This was an evidence freshness failure, not a solver failure. No report was created until the fresh commands below completed.

Approved inputs and preserved Step history

The consumed upstream document SHA-256 values were: requirements 89C1AB5F1BEDB7C5F6AD0726ED62F0982181EA8746EDE4661183FD3D18A2408E, research 4F63D23E03D1A68E5F8563B678FDD6F761F9558165778EF0433133EFAD303570, formulation 878028F7B8EC1B91DA9BF00AF78825F50EB0B71046E840A0EEA595AFFD5E14B9, numerical review C00994EF4BB23A237547459E157EE5BDA96B28CAF08F712CD31A8E0ABBF62D2C, reference model B2E6845AB59A32F78261B7A47506C27F7BF4B61401B34BC5DE3DAD4F03D6ADDA, I/O ED23274F4F15F7D1DFF886FA8158961362C75960990271D24A5FD010A8D51FD9, implementation plan CA3EF7D2E95AA1F15757CD138CEF67E06E51195F59FB8DBE676E5772CC1D6C2C, and corrections 4DC996E3D4CA2D515D19E5D244C3A112AF0C9429335698E03089B77B5E79346A.

Steps 0--10 remain unchanged: derived output/log lease; NLGEOM Domain controls; finite rotations; nonlinear MITC4 kinematics/recovery; residual/tangent; load/BC/convergence gates; tangent solver; iteration log; transactional state; nonlinear HDF5 v1; and prepared parse-once dispatch/finalization.

Step 11 RED to GREEN evidence

The preserved Step 11 transcript SHA-256 is 292FE06B7F97B1CBE267A36D875342B300E82486B76BDCBCD31EE2192A87ACE3. Its RED evidence covered: initial-arm/raw rotation balance (NSNR-PROC-019), obsolete location=global-origin (NSNR-HDF5-014), missing fine inventory (NSNR-REF-020), blocking local RF/RM (NSNR-REF-021), obsolete 1e-10 balance rejection (NSNR-REF-022), pre-tolerance row rejection (NSNR-REF-023), inclusive 1e-8 boundary (NSNR-REF-024), and exact-zero scale (NSNR-REF-025).

The minimal GREEN slice was limited to the nonlinear procedure current-arm/spatial balance projection, HDF5 location metadata/self-check, and test-private reference comparator/case inventory. The relevant production files were nonlinear_static_procedure.cpp, nonlinear_hdf5_results_writer.cpp, and hdf5_self_check.cpp; test changes remained in the procedure, writer, convergence/log, and reference-comparator tests. This Step made no C++, test, CMake, Harness, tolerance, or reference-artifact change.

Fresh VERIFY reran the preserved controls. The focused NonlinearStaticProcedure and NonlinearHdf5ResultsWriter command passed 7/7, including NonzeroPrescribedMotionWritesCurrentArmSpatialAppliedPlusReactionBalance and WritesSchemaV1GlobalBalanceErrorLocation. The reference command passed the inclusive and exact-zero global gate tests. This closes AUDIT-001: the tests exercise nonzero prescribed translation and rotation, x=X+u, component-mask-before-conversion, independently converted applied and constrained rotation covectors, and location=global-balance-error.

Handoff and open issues

Implementation-owned classification is pass-for-physics-evaluation. The only numerical differences retained are six deterministic local RF/RM review-only findings; they do not alter the blocking verdict. No warning-only UR family failed. This report does not claim physics or release readiness, and numerical agreement does not assert Abaqus S4 internal formulation equivalence.

No Step 12 production behavior changed. Reference inputs and CSV files were read-only and their pre/post inventory, byte sizes, timestamps, and SHA-256 values were identical.
