 ## Issue 14: Keep committed release-note inspection within the local object boundary (P2)

+Status: complete. Category: incomplete earlier offline-inspection correction.

+**Completion:** Committed-file reads now use the shared local-only Git object
+runner. Filtered-clone regressions cover direct reads plus public check and
+delivery with an unavailable note, preserving the note path, Git cause, and
+captured identity while making no hosted request, transport attempt, or object

+The Git/candidate suites and focused source, page-delivery, and explicit tagged
+checkout preparation cases pass offline; ordinary note bytes and cancellation
+handling retain their existing command boundary.
 
 **Evidence:** [ReadCommitFile](../../internal/git/source.go), used by candidate
 capture and delivery for release notes, executes `git show` through the ordinary
