-Cold transfer is a passing released-package integration gate as of

-transfers and verifies the `56,204,750`-byte provider bundle through the

+The current split transport proof is warm. Control/discovery, subscriptions,
+commands, and receipts use `cultnet+tcp`; the same-machine entity body resolves
+to `SharedFileMapping`; CDN bytes are advertised on a separate
+`cultmesh-content+tcp` endpoint. The passing run in
+`artifacts/aetheria-daemon-tcp-warm` used an explicitly primed 56,204,750-byte
+provider body and therefore makes no cold-transfer claim. The prior cold path
+that carried bundle chunks through batched snapshot records timed out and is
+not accepted as evidence. A fresh empty-cache run over the dedicated TCP
+content plane remains required before cold CDN delivery is promoted again.
 
-This proves that bulk asset bytes no longer depend on snapshot records. It does
-not claim remote zero-copy: the current remote content session still copies and
-fragments bounded chunks before the verified local file becomes mapped. Network

 `SharedFileMapping`, docks at the daemon-authored 12-berth Zenith Dockyard,
 buys and sells one typed item, undocks, moves, targets, aims, runs a held tractor

 field composites/dispatches/draws, and both camera-channel invariants. The pilot
 capture contains the 3D fog/Stardust/ship frame and no map icons; the map capture
 contains the map icons against its map background. The pilot image remains
 visually overexposed and is integration evidence, not final art approval.
+The wrapper starts the client before the daemon so package import time does not
+advance the live proof world. EveUnity 0.3.94 reports a refused TCP rendezvous as

 passed its released-consumer PlayMode test and produced both camera captures.
