Close-out record for Pre-Commitment No. 5 (LivenessSeparation Gauge). Sandbox pilot of 15 September 2026 under frozen harness pc5_gauge_v1_0.py (SHA-256 7f1d0caeed14a4d9c73d225d2465e7688b592cbe392c9906e1cf427309bc24bb) returned PC5-G1 GAUGE-INDETERMINATE and was filed as pilot DISCARD (not adjudicative). All four cells showed Ed bit-identity IDENTICAL; REF-LIVE required LIVE-APART and returned INDETERMINATE; REF-REST required REST-MERGED and returned DEGENERATE-NORMALIZATION INDETERMINATE. CHAR cells integrated but not read (S.5-style stop). This record retires pc5_gauge_v1_0 for adjudicative or campaign use under Pre-Commitment No. 5. No plan clause, criterion, threshold, or deposited Ice/LHCb record is altered. CASTING CLOSED for new predictions. Successor work requires a separate signed pre-commitment and DOI.
