# β close-out — Cycle 416

**Cycle:** [cnos#416](https://github.com/usurobor/cnos/issues/416) — Sub 2 of [cnos#404](https://github.com/usurobor/cnos/issues/404).
**Branch:** `cycle/416` from `origin/main @ 92a7442d`.
**Mode:** γ+α+β collapsed on δ.

## Verdict

PASS. β attests AC1–AC10 PASS per `beta-review.md`; α's `self-coherence.md` claims hold under independent adversary re-verification; no out-of-scope changes; no behavioral redesign.

## Adversary findings summary

- Doctrine body diff (§1–§2 between origin/main `cnos.cdd/...` and new `cnos.handoff/...`): **20 lines of diff** across ~400 lines of doctrine, all 4 substantive edit sites match the pinned implementation contract. No drift.
- Cross-package cite repair: all 11 new-canonical cites use the correctly-counted relative `../` depth for their source file's location. Path math verified.
- Old-path-as-canonical sweep: `rg` returns 0 hits across cdd/cds/cdr skill files. The compatibility stub correctly catches any unswept descriptive prose.
- HANDOFF.md package contract: 62 lines, in-spec; minimal (not a synthesis doc); matches issue body's verbatim shape.
- Extraction-map row updates: §1 only; §2–§11 untouched.

## Severity classification

`info` (no protocol gaps surfaced; the work was a textbook clean migration). No findings rise to D, C, B, or A severity per `cnos.cdd/skills/cdd/activation/SKILL.md §22`.

## Hard-rule attestation

- ✅ No behavioral redesign (β diff-verified).
- ✅ No new schemas (β checked `test ! -d`).
- ✅ No `cn cdd verify` changes (β checked `git diff --stat`).
- ✅ No runtime/harness changes (β checked `src/go/` + `scripts/release.sh`).
- ✅ No CCNF-O work.
- ✅ Old cdd path preserved as compatibility stub (β `ls -la` shows file present, 1210 bytes, ≤ 50 lines).

## Handoff to γ

γ files: `gamma-closeout.md`, `cdd-iteration.md` (courtesy stub since `protocol_gap_count: 0`), and INDEX.md row. Then pushes `cycle/416` and files the operator report.
