Framework: Foundations This record provides the manuscript and reproducibility material for a source-audited CAMB/Cobaya stress test of a frozen late-growth readout branch. The branch is compared against a dormant identity branch under matched Cobaya likelihood configurations. Native Planck 2018 lensing is tested in two ways: first by post-processing completed active/dormant chains, and then by full MCMC inclusion from the beginning of the sampled Planck-primary-plus-lensing likelihood. The release is organized around an executable active/dormant branch pair, not around an after-the-fact rescaling of published chains. The tested object is a frozen CAMB source-level readout state, implemented through a compiled active/dormant late-growth response in CAMB and then evaluated through matched Cobaya likelihood runs. The audit material includes CAMB source records, active and dormant branch controls, Cobaya YAML configurations, chain outputs, effective-sample diagnostics, native Planck-lensing post-processing records, full-MCMC Planck-primary-plus-lensing runs, likelihood-isolation diagnostics, and SHA-locked traceability artefacts. The production branch acts at the CAMB matter-power and growth-amplitude readout level. The dormant branch returns the identity readout. In the active branch, the fixed transmission is P_active(k,z) = Gamma_eff P_dormant(k,z), and sigma8_active = sqrt(Gamma_eff) sigma8_dormant, with Gamma_eff = 0.9407576577720417 and sqrt(Gamma_eff) = 0.9699266249423416. The operative source-level implementation is tied to the CAMB Fortran record `fortran/results.f90`, through the module `c1k_stage25_late_growth_response`. The source audit verifies the active/dormant ratios for both P(k) and sigma8 before any likelihood-level interpretation. This is therefore not a posterior scalar-amplitude adjustment in Cobaya. The likelihood-facing sequence has three main stages. First, a production-track Planck NPIPE/CamSpec high-ell TTTEEE plus compressed-S8 MCMC compares the active branch to the dormant identity branch and recovers the intended lower-growth displacement. Second, R8B adds the native Planck 2018 lensing likelihood, `planck_2018_lensing.native`, by Cobaya post-processing on the completed active and dormant chains. Third, R9A/R9C includes the same native Planck-lensing likelihood from the beginning of both MCMC runs, giving the full sampled Planck-primary-plus-native-lensing confrontation of the same frozen branch. The completed R9A/R9C full-MCMC comparison contains 12000 chain rows per branch. The reported effective-sample fractions are f_ESS,dormant = 0.5760618629 and f_ESS,active = 0.5844448656. On the sampled active/dormant comparison, the active branch remains lower: Delta chi2_total = -4.946277664, Delta chi2_lens = -0.6871262924, Delta(-log P) = -2.473136239. The corresponding growth-coordinate shifts are Delta sigma8 = -0.02055920864 and Delta S8_recon = -0.01668570298. As a likelihood-isolation diagnostic on the completed R9A/R9C chain support, the compressed S8-like contribution is removed from the reported chi-square decomposition. The active branch remains lower on the Planck high-ell plus native-lensing combination alone: Delta chi2_high-ell+lensing,no-S8 = -1.3668761177, with separate contributions Delta chi2_high-ell = -0.6797459397 and Delta chi2_lens = -0.6871262924. This diagnostic shows that the reported full-MCMC active-over-dormant direction is not carried only by the compressed S8-like term. The scope of the record is explicit. This deposit does not claim a first-principles validation of the full upstream OT--GKSL framework. It does not introduce a sampled scalar-field sector, a primitive dark-fluid sector, or a sampled curvature-prefactor function G_eff(z,k). It also does not claim that the upstream certification burden has been independently derived here. The present production branch is a downstream late-growth readout implementation tested in CAMB/Cobaya. The result is a conditional, source-audited, likelihood-facing stress test of one frozen executable branch. The remaining validation frontiers are separate: a response-conserved Boltzmann-sector implementation, real multi-probe LSS likelihoods with full covariance and nuisance treatment, and independent calibration or derivation of the upstream certification burden. These are not folded into the present claim. The purpose of this deposit is reproducibility and evidence separation. Source-level implementation, dormant identity controls, active readout probes, matched active/dormant Cobaya configurations, R8B native-lensing post-processing, R9A/R9C native-lensing full MCMC, R9F likelihood-isolation diagnostics, and SHA-based audit artefacts are kept as distinct evidence layers. This structure prevents the completed numerical stress test from being confused either with a full fundamental-theory validation or with a notebook-level scalar rescaling. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OT-GKSL: Recommended reading order: A safe reading order for a new reader is: Foundations — for the architecture, status map, certified-domain logic, and the visible/vacuum/dark triplet as an internal branch structure. Trilemma / Certified Readout Geometry — for the positive meaning of W_acc, the source-only placement rule, the Einstein lock, and the constitutive/holonomic split. Certified recoveries — to understand what a controlled recovery is and why a recovery is not the framework itself. Exact nonlinear reduced sector / numerical branch atlas — to see what “reduced exactness” means and why the reduced layer is a real nonlinear dynamical layer in its own right. Certified nonlinear Einstein readout — to see the nonlinear readout-core closure. Temporal / spacetime / causal-local certification papers — to understand certified solvability and finite-resource readout semantics. Mass generation and vacuum-like residual sourcing — to understand the first central physical extraction from the reduced constitutive–holonomic branch. Homogeneous vacuum-like specialization — to see how the lifted vacuum-like slot becomes physically meaningful after source/response closure under finite budget. CDM-like intermediate branch — to understand the branch-resolved visible/vacuum/dark triplet. Experimental protocols and numerical atlases — only at the end, so that the operational papers are read at the correct logical level.
