LARK CLOSING BINDER — VERIFICATION REPORT 2026-11-02 UTC. FICTIONAL TRAINING DOCUMENTS ONLY. RESULT: 19/19 final Linux checks PASS. No unresolved inventory/output flags. Real Microsoft Word 16.0 at C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Root\Office16 ran the prepared COM script in its visible Windows desktop. Transcript interval: 00:14:41–00:15:13 UTC. Word inserted four actual TA fields, updated one actual TOA field { TOA \h \c "2" }, saved DOCX and exported PDF using ExportAsFixedFormat with CreateBookmarks=1 (headings). Finished TOA view held 10 seconds; screenshots captured. All outputs copied to Linux, then Windows immediately stopped (stop_computer confirmed). No pending reminders remain. CLOSING ORDER / EXACT PDF BOOKMARKS 01 Purchase agreement.docx — PDF page 3 02 Board consent.docx — PDF page 4 03 Officer certificate.docx — PDF page 5 04 Bill of sale.docx — PDF page 6 All four titles/destinations match closing-order.csv in sequence. Six PDF pages: contents, TOA, four source documents. Four contents-page links. Each input filename matched exactly once: missing 0, extra documents 0, ambiguous 0. All 20 source paragraphs are preserved exactly in DOCX, including all fictional labels, names and document titles. PDF source text matches in corresponding bookmarked sections in sequence, with only extraction whitespace ignored. LIVE TABLE OF AUTHORITIES TA count: 4; TOA count: 1. Updated result saved in DOCX and visible in PDF. Word-generated category heading: Statutes (both authority types in category 2). 15 U.S.C. § 77b — 3, 4 17 C.F.R. § 230.144 — 3, 5 Both page-reference lists match actual PDF body occurrences. CHECK HISTORY / FLAGS Initial run: 10/13 passed, 3 failed due to pypdf extracting C.F.R. as C.F .R. After inspecting DOCX text, rendered PDF and Word screenshots, verifier now ignores whitespace only for PDF text and adds four exact DOCX paragraph checks and two TOA page-reference checks. Final run: 19/19 passed. Both JSON runs retained. All six pages visually reviewed in contact sheet, with enlarged TOA/purchase pages and native TOA/field-code screenshots inspected. No output modifications were needed. Windows PowerShell syntax and Python dry checks ran before Windows. The transcript records timing; desktop runner returned console observations separately (retained in word-execution-observed.txt). Console displayed section signs as control characters; DOCX/XML, PDF and screenshots have correct signs. BUDGET No paid API calls. Windows <5 minutes including startup/transfers/shutdown gives conservative running-compute ceiling $0.075 at $0.90/hour. Charging every elapsed Linux minute 23:25 Nov 1–00:25 Nov 2, including waits/sleep, gives $0.30 at $0.30/hour. Combined ceiling $0.375, well under $2; estimate, not invoice. compute_usage was checked but includes other threads, so its account total is not attributed to this task. Retained Windows disk incurs a separate tiny charge. No Muse API use/configuration changes. Nothing sent, signed, filed or emailed. Linux folder: /vercel/work/general/lark/outputs Windows folder: C:\work\lark\outputs (stopped).
