DETERMINISTIC BLACKJACK - FAIL-CLOSED INTEGRITY RECOVERY Phase 22 / Replay v15.10.245 If RUN_END_TO_END_INTEGRITY_GATE.bat fails, normal Replay and CLI/live startup remain blocked. The gate writes GUI\INTEGRITY_GATE_LAST_FAILURE.txt naming the failed layer and safe recovery rules. Recovery is repair/restore + rerun, never bypass: - accidental code/file drift: restore the affected file from the last accepted package; - intentional code change: compile/test/audit it, then deliberately establish a new accepted release baseline; - historical evidence mismatch: investigate provenance/authority; never edit observed evidence merely to satisfy the gate; - plate-remediation mismatch: reconcile against the audited remediation register/authority matrix; - package-hygiene failure: remove prohibited distribution content rather than weakening the check. A stale failure report is deleted automatically after a complete PASS.
