 The current base supplies prison spawning, two independent scavenging/clue routes, finite medical and outpost stock, an optional ground vehicle, physical radio documents, named discovery markers, native objectives, a separate radio-defence service, capacity-checked helicopter extraction, identity-based partial results, early helicopter-loss defeat, saved mission time/speed, defeat/restart, identity-based lives and local spectator following. Authored site definitions and an injected vanilla faction/asset catalog own the initial physical population. Core provides administration and startup diagnostics; the optional AI, Intel, Chat and Map addons extend its interfaces. HQ coordinates enemy responses through physical radios and available forces.
 
-See [current development status](docs/current-status.md) for verified checkpoints and the prioritized remaining work. Ordinary Core and companion startup now admit a real local prisoner cleanly; focused casualty-loading and physical mortar tests also pass. The latest archived companion restart passes two rounds with diagnostics disabled after scoped station cleanup; the earlier failure remains preserved. Real-perception HQ response and destroyed-gate progression have focused native checks, with arranged/scripted movement explicitly disclosed. Manual gameplay, real multiplayer, complete HQ support, measured FPS improvement and release qualification remain unfinished. The [original responsibility inventory](docs/original-feature-coverage.md) is a scope map, not proof that every original behavior has been replaced.
+See [current development status](docs/current-status.md) for checkpoints. Packed Core and all-five-addon Chat each pass ordinary startup with a real prisoner, no loose successor source and zero captured errors. The [refreshed mortar salvo](docs/evidence/native-2026-09-19-112900-mortar-refresh/report.json), [report expiry](docs/evidence/native-2026-09-19-114751-mortar-expiry/report.json) and [isolated vertical flight](docs/evidence/native-2026-09-19-114504-powered-flight/report.json) pass 55, 48 and 81 assertions respectively, all without captured errors. These establish mechanisms, not operational HQ aircraft support or a completed manual escape. Native packaging still produces [UI shutdown errors also reproduced by an empty-addon control](docs/native-packaging-control.md). Manual gameplay, real multiplayer, measured FPS improvement and release qualification remain unfinished. The [original responsibility inventory](docs/original-feature-coverage.md) records remaining scope.
