This adds schema 14 canonical efficiency records, authenticated assessment queue transitions and metric selection, plus the Host-owned Responses count/create/capture path and independent source verification. Unknown usage stays nullable; source delivery does not imply native item completion, and generic ingestion cannot start assessment work.

The source prepares coherent set 0.99.0 and Telemetry Host 0.5.0 with the 18-file workspace payload, explicit string types on the existing assessment schema, and current-only schema 14 status/backup/restore handling. It includes the Client package closure, bounded static metadata evidence and the exact canonical custody source from Coordination #950. The Dashboard reader accepts the closed schema 14 Responses snapshot, bounds its private relation, and preserves unknown aggregate counters as null. Delivered nullable dashboard rendering, Workspace Template 0.18.1 and the published SDD/Contracts registry updates are preserved. Package publication, migration, fresh authenticated enrollment and the provider pilot remain separate operations; historical schema 13 receipts are not backfilled with authority or usage.

Validation:

• Qualified managed source e573905614a208bbc93ac29d63970126d347af6d passed six build/test commands: Core 78, CLI 22 and Host 108 tests (208 total).
• The metadata-bound successor passed two native commands and its three selected ordinary cases. Documentation moves and canonical custody comments were checked as nonfunctional source changes; final hosted CI validates the assembled revision.
• The scoped Dashboard successor e82094c3b40c20e5311ddb94db0715a91a9221fc passed its build and all 58 tests, including both actual Store snapshot joins, historical closed forms, nullable counters, privacy and cardinality limits. The earlier 21-pass/2-fail attempt remains a failed source window.
• Nine staged static cases passed under the original 60-second bound on the selected physical staging profile. This establishes staged static qualification only; installed 0.99 adoption, a Manager installation receipt and provider execution remain pending.
• Focused pure checks passed: verifier 26, Responses static producer 18, assessment source 13, assessment schema 3, evaluation 18, contracts 13, release successor 11, Host successor 11, routine delivery 77, custody projection 20 and the two affected dashboard modules 33. Source/package closure refusal controls, XML documentation placement, generated validator consistency, path coherence and Git telemetry safety also pass.
• CI fixture repairs passed all 90 process-efficiency tests and 68 selector cases. The workflow now runs the Responses verifier and static producer suites, and the selector preserves the actual unittest-discovery entrypoint. Official generation reconciles source 0.99/Host 0.5 with published Contracts 7.6; final hosted checks remain required on the exact repaired head.
• The preceding assembled candidate passed the hosted Dashboard 58-case suite, 15 local-dashboard cases and both standalone package gates. Its full CLI suite exposed two stale receipt fixtures (673 passed, two failed): the repair now selects the next unsupported schema dynamically and removes the complete schema 14 extension before reconstructing schema 8. In-memory SQL controls reproduce the original setup failure and prove historical bytes survive remigration without authority or receiver-time backfill; final hosted qualification remains required.
• Installed package provenance, fresh enrollment and a genuine provider pilot are not established by these source checks. No full-item completion or token saving is claimed.
