+# FriiDump 0.5.3.16-pf1 validation history
-Candidate21 preserves Candidate13's seed diagnostics and Candidate12's DAT and
-Linux-lock corrections while making the Linux raw-I/O requirement explicit.
+The Candidate21 validators below are retained as exact campaign evidence. They
+verify the candidate identity and should not be renamed or repurposed as
+release builders.
-## Linux build
+For a normal release build, use the maintained entry points:
+```text
+Windows: build_msvc32.cmd
+Linux: cmake -S . -B build -DBUILD_STATIC_BINARY=ON
+ cmake --build build
+```
+
+After validating the exact Linux executable, apply the minimum file capability
+with `validation/friidump-linux-rawio-capability.sh`.
