 ## Validation
 
 The repository-local integration suite installs its pinned collection, runs
-syntax checking and production-profile lint, verifies the default release,
-ownership, executable output, minimal configuration, native configuration
-validation, and immediate idempotence. It also covers missing-binary and
-checkout rebuilds, caller-supplied Go with dependency management disabled,
-metadata repair without rebuilding, caller-side pipeline composition,
-field-specific configuration rendering and falsey values, and platform guards.
-It mutates only the managed source, binary, configuration, and a private
-temporary directory, then leaves the default release and minimal configuration
-installed.

+It verifies an explicitly selected Notarius release, combines missing-binary

+intentional falsey values, caller-side pipeline composition, and native
+validation. It mutates only the managed source, binary, configuration, and a
+private temporary directory, then restores the default deployment during
+cleanup.
