Someone else's system attests to these. None of them rests on my own word.

• Proctor was named a finalist in UiPath AgentHack 2026, Track 3 (UiPath Test Cloud). 31 finalists were selected from the 203 solutions that reached judging, and Track 3 accounted for 11 of them.

My own CI and releases. The claim is that you can re-run every check yourself, not that a third party audited it. Counts are dated readings; a check run later returns the current count.

• 602 tests pass in CI across 7 public repositories: notary 159, reprise 105, orion-skills 98, schemafit 90, mcp-context-budget 56, standing-questions 55, fork-around-find-out 39, read 2026-09-29.

• failclosed contains exactly 59 test definitions across its 3 test files, matching the 59 tests its CI run executes.

• schemafit publishes 5 released versions on PyPI, 0.1.0 through 0.5.0, MIT licensed.

• Both published packages release through PyPI Trusted Publishing. Both release workflows request an OIDC id-token and reference no API-token secret.

• The quality gates publicly fire rather than wave work through: reprise's CI history on main includes a push run where the Typecheck step failed the build, on 2026-07-26.

• failclosed's enforcement contract is runnable by any stranger: a fresh clone passes its 59-test suite, which includes tests asserting that unparseable and schema-invalid reviewer output blocks a MERGE_READY verdict, read 2026-09-29.

• Three repositories pin every third-party GitHub Action to a full commit SHA rather than a floating tag: notary, reprise, and fork-around-find-out. Each has exactly one workflow file, so the check covers all of them.

Self-published and self-hosted. These establish volume, recency, and that the systems serve live. None of it is reach, endorsement, or third-party review. Counts are dated readings; a check run later returns the current count.
