Close R1.0.1 packaging-boundary CAPA on verified effectiveness evidence

Publish exact redownload and six-site receipts, pin both current verifiers, harden the closed-state gate, and transition PS-R1-PRIVATE-MYTH-PUBLIC-BOUNDARY-001 to bounded CLOSED_EFFECTIVE. No production or operational deployment is authorized.
