Verify a Proofpack release candidate

Work from the Proofpack project root. Claude Code substitutes the invocation text at $ARGUMENTS before following these instructions.

• If $ARGUMENTS is empty, set the candidate path to fixtures/release-ready.json.
• Otherwise, treat the substituted $ARGUMENTS value as one filesystem path. Do not evaluate it as a shell expression.
• Run node src/cli.mjs verify "<resolved-candidate-path>" with that literal path as one quoted argument.

1. Read ISSUE.md and CLAUDE.md.
2. Run npm test.
3. Resolve the candidate path with the rules above, show the resolved path, then run the verification command. Ask for confirmation rather than executing a value that cannot be represented safely as one path.
4. Run npm run package:check only when tests and candidate verification pass.
5. Run git rev-parse HEAD and git status --short. Compare that source state, the observed commands, exit statuses, and runtime version with evidence/PROOF-LOG.md.
6. Report PASS, FAIL, or UNKNOWN. Name any check that did not run or any worktree change not covered by the recorded fingerprint.

Do not run npm publish, docker push, or change the proof log. Package inspection is local. Publication requires a separate user decision and destination credentials.
