Residual Born — V8 Public Candidate

Status: internal public-candidate package, not yet approved for public posting. V8 improves V7 with a new animated title, one bespoke replacement render for the first P0 weak section, an enhanced bridge placeholder, release manifest, and explicit remaining gaps.

Provenance & trust

AI-assisted music/video artifact directed by Ethan Hawkes and executed by Anvil. Human-key signature is pending Ethan-controlled signing key. File hashes are in trust-manifest.json.

Remaining gaps before broad public release

• Replace seg08 with bespoke Wan render rather than graded V7 placeholder.
• Replace or repair P1 loops: seg01, seg05, seg07.
• Color/typography pass and subtitle/lyric timing pass.
• Final metadata/sanitization review and Ethan human-key signature if desired.
