+# Browser producer pin refresh — 2026-10-16
+
+WARDEN-WP-0044-T03 source review, scoped to NetKingdom commit
+`015694ee414c802dc2ef1fa0120dfed610086e69`, against Warden `d79f065`.
+
+Reviewed the exact committed schema, validator, evidence changes and the 21
+producer contract tests. The optional bounded `execution_descriptors` map now
+requires lowercase exact SHA-256 byte pins keyed to declared steps. The direct
+evidence API refuses malformed maps. Absent and incomplete maps retain plan-only
+behavior; the repair supplies no descriptor, adapter or execution authority.
+This is compatible with Warden's independently authenticated admission gates.
+
+Refresh only the validator and evidence module pins. Composer/capability module
+hashes and both reviewed parameter-definition hashes remain exact and unchanged.
+All four copied module bytes match the named NetKingdom commit and canonical
+checkout. No fallback, wildcard or allowed-drift path is added.
+
+Before the refresh, explicit canonical producer integration failed both positive
+version tests (1.1/1.2), with 20 refusals passing. After refresh, 87 producer,
+Executor and reducer checks pass, including 14 new malformed descriptor cases
+and existing missing/changed-source checks across all four pinned modules.
+The 21 producer descriptor-contract checks and focused Ruff checks also pass.
+Use `WARDEN_TEST_NETKINGDOM_ROOT=/home/worsch/net-kingdom` explicitly: the
+isolated checkout's default sibling can resolve another checkout.
+
+Emergent knowledge 0.2.6 digest
+`8d1d6a9d4d07fec7b619618de7dfe2be2254c1790f85f4198c7fe19db9751c02`
+was withheld due to source drift; start/local-work cards and actual source were
+reviewed directly. It conveys no authority.
+
+No new browser or identity-restore adapter was admitted or attested. No credential
+or privileged execution occurred. Native structural receipts, authenticated owner
+provenance, descriptor assent, attended sessions, ordered verification and the
+first native case run remain open. T03 stays progress; T04 stays wait.
+
+Exact pin hashes, tests and publication identity are retained under the Custodian
+`docs/changes/netkingdom-target-2026-10-16/warden-browser-pin-refresh/` directory.
