GAL-2 Time Contract 5-Day Adversarial Characterization v1.0: Official Results Package

This record contains the official results package for the GAL-2 Time Contract 5-Day Adversarial Characterization v1.0.

The package evaluates application-facing Time Contract behavior under controlled upstream interruption conditions. It includes raw contract snapshots, consumer commit records, process health telemetry, usage snapshots, manual adversarial event logs, phase analyses, a global summary, a public secret scan, SHA256 manifests, and a public README.

The official collector completed cleanly with the marker:

FIVEDAY_OFFICIAL_COLLECTOR_COMPLETE 2026-05-22T22:08:57.858949Z samples 14397

Final counts:

contract_samples: 14397
consumer_rows: 14397
health_rows: 7200
usage_snapshots: 1442
contract_equals_consumer: true

Global observed invariants:

fetch_failures: 0
monotonic_sequence_backward_steps: 0
gal2_time_backward_steps: 0
monotonic_sequence_delta: 14396

The scheduled adversarial phases included short, medium, and hard upstream interruption scenarios. The run observed policy-consistent Time Contract behavior including LIVE, HOLDOVER, DEGRADED, REJOIN, and FAIL_CLOSED states. Phase 4 observed FAIL_CLOSED behavior with health=red and safe_to_consume=false after hard holdover policy expiration.

Claim boundary:

This package evaluates application-facing Time Contract behavior under controlled upstream interruptions. It does not claim replacement of UTC, GNSS, PTP, NTP, chrony, time cards, grandmasters, or atomic clocks. It is not a metrological accuracy claim, a formal UTC traceability claim, or a long-duration autonomous holdover claim.

The package is linked to the frozen pre-registration record:
