A global-consistency audit of late-time ΛCDM: geometry consistency, growth–geometry closure, and a diagnostic tension dashboard

Description

This record contains v1.0.0 of the manuscript “A global-consistency audit of late-time ΛCDM: geometry consistency, growth–geometry closure, and a diagnostic tension dashboard”, together with a small reproducibility bundle (code + inputs) that regenerates the headline audit numbers reported in the paper.

Scope / what this is (and is not)
The manuscript presents a compact diagnostic “global-consistency audit” of late-time ΛCDM under a constant-Λ GR baseline, separating (i) internal late‑time geometry consistency from (ii) growth–geometry closure stress under a deliberately minimal interface. This is intended as a transparent localization tool (“where is the stress?”), not as a replacement for full survey likelihood analyses and not as a claim of reproducing survey pipelines end-to-end.

DESI context (careful statement)
The paper includes a short, conservative discussion of how the audit relates to recent DESI DR2 BAO cosmology results and extended dark-energy fits in combined-probe analyses. It does not re-run DESI full-shape likelihoods or reproduce the DESI collaboration’s full inference pipeline; it uses public summary products within a restricted, ruler‑free diagnostic interface.

Third‑party data / provenance notice
The reproducibility bundle includes small derived inputs and/or compressed public data products used by the audit (e.g., public BAO/AP summaries, supernova distance-modulus covariances, and a compressed weak‑lensing amplitude constraint). These third‑party components remain subject to the original publications’ terms and citations. The manuscript and the “References” field in this Zenodo record cite the primary sources.

Integrity
A SHA256SUMS.txt file is included in the reproducibility bundle for file integrity checks.
