# E1: Formalizing: audit

Audit the analysis and its record.

This is a reading key. The linked contract and card hold the rules.

## 1. Reading order

1. [Contract](../reading/contract.md), [method](../reading/method.md), [standing instructions](../reading/standing.md).
2. Your recorded platform: [Claude](../reading/platform-claude.md) or [Codex](../reading/platform-codex.md).
3. [Full E1 card](../reading/stage-E1.md), then the run's head, diary and handler deliveries as that card prescribes.

## 2. Inputs and permitted reading

Use the full card's startup packet and reading boundaries. Do not use files from later stages merely because this repository contains them. Historical interviews use the files in their selected bundle.

## 3. Outputs, quoted from the card

- `audit-E1.md`
- `audit-E1/` with the scripts and their outputs
- `claims-E1.md`
- `reconstruction-sample-E1.jsonl` (the thirty rooms, written in the build leg, which `packets.py E1`
reads) and `RETURN-E1.md` (the readers' return specification)
- `reconstruction-E1.jsonl`
- `expectations-E1.md`
- `probes-E1.md`
- `experience-E1.md`
- `notes-E1.md`
- `handback-E1.md`
- the last `run_manifest.json` line.

## 4. Legs

| Leg | Role | Repeats | Interview point |
|---|---|---|---|
| `E1a` | scripts | no | - |
| `E1b` | audit section | yes | - |
| `E1c` | reconstruction build | no | - |
| `E1d` | reconstruction check | no | - |
| `E1e` | experience | no | - |

## 5. Checks and handback

The stage card governs its checks. The [handler](../reading/handler.md) and [leg controller](../reading/legs.md) govern opening, close, pause and recovery. Do not infer permission to start from this page. Keep notes and the head current; the conversation and filesystem must match at any resumable close.

## 6. Published record

Status: **finished**, 11 recorded closed legs. This describes source publication `02ba3eb03173`, not live state.
