  "scope": "Cross-release evidence matrix for six fixed public software releases spanning robot vision, 3D LiDAR, main compute and battery management. The matrix normalizes release identity, source/test surface, public GitHub check conclusions, downloaded publisher-digest matches, retained validation bundles and RCI physical-device/robot testing without treating unlike source-path counts as benchmark results or rankings.",

For each row, it selected the nearest available test-source path count, public GitHub check-run count and conclusion, downloaded distribution whose publisher digest was matched by RCI, current retained validation-result bundle, and RCI physical-device/robot test boundary. The six upstream audits used different repository structures and path heuristics, so test-surface counts are summed only as disclosure observations and are not comparable test counts, pass counts, coverage values or performance scores.",
