Final asset outputs and storage retention — November 2, 2026
Art Atlas publishes 9,185 registered files with their permanent IDs, exact original checksums and individual findings. All 8,401 files in the preceding GitHub catalog retain identical artist bytes; 784 additional registered files are bundled without resampling or recompression. The complete 9,208-row readiness ledger (including 23 historical null aliases) is retained as a lossless audit output. The full-library goal remains active: 418 initial reviews remain pending, 3,177 explicit dispositions are recorded, and no all-gates game-ready promotion is inferred. The next 100 native sources have completed visual observations, retained separately without claiming their draft archive decisions were registered.
Both Citadel outer hamlets and all original library artwork remain preserved. The preferred local Alpine Tarn V5, Caravan Well V5, Sargasso Drift V5 and Sunken Shelf V9 repairs, plus explicitly referenced working outputs, are retained separately. They do not acquire live-world approval by publication. The live renderer and its existing 322-source whitelist remain those of the preceding GitHub commit, including the blue atlas interface; unfinished private renderer/artwork experiments are not installed. No repeatable mesh background, artwork downscale or lossy reencoding is introduced.
The user requested removal of temporary files, drafts and inputs because the local drive was full. Redundant QA baseline copies, native preview duplicates, raw readbacks and rejected attempts are retired after preservation checks. Historical seals describe the checks performed at their recorded time; they no longer promise the presence of every retired temporary artifact. Current artist hashes, final selected outputs, individual catalog findings, the complete pending ledger, final observation notes and cleanup receipts remain authoritative. No persistent world, save, original artwork or other project is a cleanup target.
The prepublication source baseline is GitHub commit 6497a2b8620d194b7972e336cc04f25b5182fcee. Publication, live image readback and cleanup completion are recorded separately and must not be inferred from package preparation.
Verified publication and cleanup
The November 3 final-output publication is live at commit e5b1cf3e81b80d56e650df3b39f5109b1d6a3d8e. Art Atlas contains 9,185 registered files; live readback verified every one of the 784 newly published artist files and both Citadel outer hamlets. All original artwork and the 16 selected working outputs retain their exact bytes. Temporary QA inputs, repeated metadata snapshots and duplicate previews are retired under the user-requested storage policy. The full-library quality goal remains active: 418 initial reviews and all unresolved canonical qualification gates remain pending. The next 100 observations remain recorded without registering their proposed reference dispositions. Local source contracts (354) and the deployed renderer whitelist (322) remain distinct; no private renderer or artwork study is promoted by cleanup.
Temporary file counts and actual free-space measurements are recorded in temporary-cleanup-receipt.json; the final artist preservation check is recorded separately. Historical snapshot-based seals do not assert that retired cache files remain present.
Historical review retention
Completed per-asset reviews remain in the compact final-review-summaries.tar.gz archive, indexed by final-review-summaries.json with their original paths and SHA-256 checksums. The original catalog findings, unresolved readiness gates and selected output files remain current. Links to retired temporary review pages now lead here; retirement does not change the historical review results or imply live-world qualification.
