# Phase 166 Verification

## Goal Verdict

Passed. The phase goal was to turn the honest post-bootstrap `return_to_L0`
outcome into one concrete, cross-surface source-acquisition handoff without
fake progress or automatic source mutation. The implemented runtime now does
that across bootstrap wording, dashboard, runtime protocol, and replay.

## Must-Haves

- [x] a fresh bootstrap blocked on missing sources now names one concrete
  source-acquisition lane instead of only generic prose
- [x] dashboard, runtime protocol, and replay expose the same concrete `L0`
  handoff facts from one shared runtime truth
- [x] the handoff remains advisory and honest about missing sources rather than
  auto-creating progress

## Evidence

- `python -m pytest research/knowledge-hub/tests/test_aitp_mcp_server.py research/knowledge-hub/tests/test_aitp_service.py research/knowledge-hub/tests/test_topic_replay.py -q`
  - `157 passed`
- `python -m pytest research/knowledge-hub/tests/test_aitp_mcp_server.py research/knowledge-hub/tests/test_aitp_service.py research/knowledge-hub/tests/test_topic_replay.py research/knowledge-hub/tests/test_runtime_scripts.py -q`
  - `223 passed`
- `python -m pytest research/knowledge-hub/tests/test_schema_contracts.py -q`
  - `11 passed`

## Notes

- The four-file phase sweep initially exposed a pre-existing `test_runtime_scripts.py`
  harness gap: several acceptance modules were referenced by tests but no longer
  loaded in `setUp`. That harness gap was repaired inside the same phase before
  the final verification run.
