R04 stopped before mutation because the old 57-file publication scope did not represent the complete live VM130 tree.
The exact R04 manifest proved all 57 published files unchanged, 15 preserved operational files outside the old scope, two generated bytecode caches, and no A1 new files.
R05 stopped before independent extraction because diagnostic evidence referenced FINAL_ROOT before it existed; no mutation occurred.
R06 reached apply with 72 managed files and two bytecode files, then stopped before mutation because one bundled reference digest was malformed.
R07 corrected only the digest for bin/wgpaid-activity-sampler-once to cb5ed8477164086b86a5821aebc27d23b9867dcb3e960b06006548312efee7ed; no path or target-package content changed.
R07 accepted the exact 72-file non-bytecode managed baseline, preserved all 15 operational files, removed only bytecode cache, and produced an exact 78-file target.
Fresh VM130 publication covers the complete non-bytecode bin/lib/libexec tree.
Detached execution, concurrent-start exclusion, STOP publication before latest archive, and all workflow selftests passed.
VM100 and VM101 were not modified.
