      are documented; no exhaustive or generalized maturity claim.

    rationale: 'Source interface assessed 2026-10-14: Bare-VM to estate sequence and

  - 2026-10-14 architecture review estimates operational maturity separately; a registry

    provider retrieval and production import remain owner-run recovery steps, not
    automated bare-VM restore.

# Bootstrap sequencing contracts

Bare-VM to estate sequence and handoff contract.

## Reuse boundary

End-to-end unattended rebuild is not established.

## Supported use cases

- U10: Operator recovers identity, custody or data with independently held recovery material
- U14: Framework adopter validates and reuses selected contracts, tools and reference compositions

## Evidence and integration

- [SCOPE.md](../../SCOPE.md)

Assessment: CUST-WP-0081, 2026-10-14. Relations identify interfaces to compose; they do not certify native integration. Existing external evidence levels are retained where present. New entries use conservative C1/R0 until consumer assessment exists.

Identity recovery handoff: [docs/identity-recovery.md](../../docs/identity-recovery.md). The source dispatcher adds verification only; availability/maturity are not promoted to assert a deployed recovery service.
