Shadow Man: installed launcher and Configuration response accepted

Offline independent review on 2026-10-23 accepts the original launcher and one ordinary Configuration response. Gameplay remains pending: Spielen is disabled. The old original-media/resume403 hold is superseded by verified installation, restoration and captured UI evidence. No runtime was accessed for this review.

Exact evidence and acceptance

Remote main reconciled to 58e90870a40a541a4083cae5e987ca8de31889e6. The candidate branch's actual remote ref matched 340803e35428c88f1946e52112e322b1733fb346. Its production source is unchanged; canonical Wasm is 1,879,387 bytes, SHA256 ccd5b0a8e4fcb84d06bf539c8a4af28b377472072f3422750122048e9339f553. The retained consumption trace records that exact canonical input. See the previous DSETUP qualification for its separate source/native scope; its historical whole qualifications were not replayed.

The bounded review report and its verify.py retain the independent hash, receipt, fixture and status checks. Original candidate evidence is under scratch/runs/20261023-shadow-man-live-capture-helper-retest/ at the exact candidate commit, retained locally in /home/user/wine-assembly-shadow-man-live-capture-helper-retest-oct23. Only selected evidence and the observation helper's offline fixture are imported; experimental runtime launchers, observers, recovery tools and history are excluded.

Exactly one original D3DConfigUtility session reached the ShadowMan Launcher. Endpoint readiness was 0.606838 seconds; the genuine launcher PNG was captured at 0.830569 seconds. Independent visual inspection confirms Konfiguration, disabled Spielen and Beenden. One ordinary cmd dlg-cmd:1024 targeted original HWND 0x10001 at batch 652881, returning host command exit 0. The response state and genuine PNG within 0.657326 seconds show original Configuration HWND 0x10006: Primary Display Driver, 640 x 480 x 16, Gamma/Helligkeit sliders, OK and Für Fortgeschrittene controls. There were two live PNG commands. The launcher image and Configuration image were both visually inspected in this review, independently of the coordinator.

The actual retained top-level snapshot passes the corrected capture predicate. Eight rejecting fixtures (unrelated, unready, malformed, hidden, child, wrong HWND, quit, control failure) issue no PNG. Importing the retained helper for this fixture does not run its runtime entry point or dispatch input.

Restoration commit d6c7a71cad22bc37ebc73e586c92fd5497901689 preserves complete 2,083-original/186,399,681-byte verification and 217 runtime/receipt hashes; the one 2,045-file VFS clone was reused. Relevant reports and receipts were rechecked offline; originals were not recovered or rehashed on a runtime here. The restored registry seal is d7143f29d29576cd015ec875264028fa70795d0f18de457e31927048081d9de3. The unchanged imported clone and separately exported registry are distinct artifacts; export existence does not establish settings acceptance or persistence.

Licence and installation are observed

acceptedInGuest=true follows exact original installation evidence at commit ba485e8a27ad8a0cc25a14d40427e8cbfd38eec3 on task/shadow-man-original-install-continue-oct22 (actual remote SHA matched). Its retained directory is scratch/runs/20261022-shadow-man-original-install-continue/. The acceptance receipt blob is 72cfabebdecbb3c228b44f0977f156230de86c5c; the installed-payload receipt blob is d87cae5a33136cacce013df7e17bc11c6962ad2b. Both exact retained files were checked against those Git identities.

The licence screen 03-after-welcome-next.png, post-Ja destination screen 04-after-license-yes.png, and completion screen 10-install-progress.png were independently visually inspected. The installer-only control receipt records ordinary click:413:394 at 2026-10-22T20:01:25.326828Z, batch 1191279, and the destination response. The child-prefixed raw log corroborates that input and subsequent installer guest ExitProcess(0); Beenden was batch 3531087. The completion screen shows both optional readme/game-launch boxes unchecked. The installation receipt maps all 1,959 originals, 100,354,053 bytes, with equal installed sizes/SHA256 and zero mismatches. These are retained installation receipts, not a fresh binary rehash. The historical authorization JSON remains unchanged, including its historical acceptedInGuest:false; it is not current acceptance state. The original installation used historical Wasm f644bbb26edc077239dac17b8b2cfda482aafd9eb44af4c4776d4fe153d5a1a7, not the later canonical module used for the launcher capture.

Unqualified boundaries and proposed next test

The trace explicitly logs ABANDONED wndproc after 64 rounds, yield reason 15, for the Configuration command. A visible response does not prove normal synchronous callback completion. Known COMCTL32/OLE32 warnings remain visible; no exercised unresolved ordinal or trap is established by this capture. No settings were changed or accepted; no settings-save, game launch/gameplay, normal configuration/game guest exit, Windows parity, browser, audio or FPS claim follows. The external watchdog ended at 13.211825 seconds within 90; parent OS exit was -9, guest ExitProcess unobserved, remaining group members empty, final Node check empty. Process reaping is separate from normal guest exit.

Proposal only; no execution authorization: in a separately assigned bounded test, inspect the original Configuration dialog and use ordinary OK with existing defaults. Trace callback completion, actual file/registry writes and reopen persistence before claiming settings acceptance. Then inspect Spielen's actual enabled state. Only if enabled and explicitly included in the new assignment, launch the original installed ShadowMan.exe and capture its first actual response and ordinary gameplay input. Stop at the first precise blocker; retain disabled Play or callback failure as evidence, without forced enablement or spoofed prerequisites. Preserve original files, registry and canonical module identity.

Preservation

Coordinator receipt shadow-man-launcher-runtime-closeout-oct23.json is copied into the bounded review directory. Box bx_vufrds5w was snapshot-verified 2026-10-23T01:26:26.454Z and stop-completed 01:26:26.642Z; actual state STOPPED, stop ID stop_52cdf98aa62e9720, owned groups empty. Its historical running expiry was 01:36:17.590Z. The candidate's RUNNING handback and replay verifier's boxRunning=true refer to the earlier capture, not current state. This task did not query, stop, delete or resume it; lifecycle ownership remains coordinator's. Git preserves these receipts and selected images, not ignored game/media/Wasm binaries. Existing recovery recipes and coordinator snapshots remain the backup; this note authorizes no recovery, deployment or laptop change.
