+# Verification — 2026-09-12
+
+Documentation reviewed 2026-09-19; no tests rerun for that update. These results
+predate the subsequent app-icon and generated-resource-phase commits. See
+[ENGINEERING_LEARNINGS.md](ENGINEERING_LEARNINGS.md) for reusable lessons.
+
+## Scope
+
+Qwen 2.5 remains configured; the canceled subscription-login migration was not
+revived. The embedded music player was removed by user decision. The current app
+is the Astra-designed **Nearlight** native interface with shared Talk and Activity
+tabs, adaptive semantic styling, the Lightwell conversation indicator, rebuilt
+conversation controls, readable transcripts, actionable failure states, explicit
+Settings saves, and revised Activity/detail surfaces.
+
+## Current iOS evidence
+
+Project: `Voice.xcodeproj`; scheme: `Voice_iOS`; simulator: iPhone 17 Pro
+`AFDA137E-1657-428E-BF01-E5CD7989772C`.
+
+- Full combined simulator run: **50 passed, 0 failed, 1 live skip** in 104.9
+  seconds. It includes unit/state tests and five offline UI scenarios.
+- The offline UI scenarios cover navigation/offline recovery; persisted voice and
+  server validation; normalized same-address and changed-address save feedback;
+  transcript clearing and Activity details; restored-history reading position and
+  explicit Latest recovery; and accessibility-size navigation.
+- A second targeted run after the final VoiceOver eligibility strengthening passed
+  `testRestoredTranscriptStaysAtTopUntilLatest`: **1 passed, 0 failed**.
+- Fresh runtime inspection showed the long restored transcript at its beginning
+  with the **Latest** affordance visible. The regression tapped Latest and verified
+  the final row became visible.
+- GPT-6 Astra re-read its design specification and prior findings, inspected the
+  final source, and performed an isolated Settings runtime reproduction. Its
+  round-four verdict was **PASS**: reading eligibility, ready-session microphone
+  recovery visibility, and save-confirmation lifetime were resolved; the earlier
+  selection and pending-Send fixes remained intact.
+- Astra's Settings reproduction saved `  https://127.0.0.1:2  ` using isolated
+  UI-test preferences. Settings stayed open, the field normalized, and the
+  checkmark plus “Server address saved.” remained visible. The next user edit
+  cleared both indicators. It did not touch normal preferences or the NAS.
+
+Result bundles under
+`~/Library/Developer/XcodeBuildMCP/workspaces/voice-ios-9eb036fdea81/result-bundles/`:
+
+- Full run:
+  `test_sim_2026-09-12T14-03-09-058Z_pid95846_2ca9da7e.xcresult`
+- Targeted restored-history run:
+  `test_sim_2026-09-12T14-05-21-070Z_pid98187_bd3e531a.xcresult`
+
+## Physical-device evidence
+
+iPhone 14 Pro Max `BF93D35E-0853-5470-A125-6EB0DB3F17AB` was paired, built for,
+signed with personal team `YJFYRB92NW`, installed, trusted, and launched through
+`devicectl`. This proves device signing/install/launch only, not microphone or
+speaker behavior. Free provisioning expires after seven days.
+
+The final source also produced a signed device build and, once the phone
+reconnected, `devicectl` installed and launched it successfully on 2026-09-12.
+This proves device signing/install/launch of the final binary, not microphone or
+speaker behavior.
+
+## Historical live and backend evidence
+
+Earlier live NAS runs verified Qwen replies, background task completion,
+disconnect/reconnect, and three consecutive Qwen/task/reconnect iterations. Older
+music playback evidence is historical only: the player and its tests no longer
+exist in the iOS app.
+
+Backend integration previously passed 16 tests with 7 skipped and 2 deselected.
+The AAC compatibility regression passed and the deployed byte-range request
+returned HTTP 206. That patch remains in a separate backend repository and is not
+published by this iOS branch.
+
+## Not yet qualified
+
+- Audible speaker/headphone output, physical microphone capture, barge-in,
+  phone/Siri interruption recovery, lock/background behavior, and live
+  network-loss recovery.
+- A real microphone-permission-denied session. The visibility/recovery branches
+  are source-reviewed, but no permission was changed during final verification.
+- A full VoiceOver audio/focus session, exhaustive contrast audit, every Dynamic
+  Type/layout combination, or strict conformance to every Nearlight design detail.
+  Astra explicitly accepted the remaining visual/adaptive/presentation debt for
+  this personal release.
+- A fresh build/install and regression run after the subsequent app-icon/resource
+  commits. The September 12 Nearlight install succeeded; current phone availability
+  and provisioning have not been rechecked here.
