 ## Authority
 
-FriiDump is active at `/srv/project-frankenstein/repos/friidump.git` under
-annotated tag `v0.5.3.5-pf1`.
+FriiDump remains governed by the established Project Frankenstein repository
+and promoted release history. Candidate11 is a development candidate derived
+from candidate10; it is not yet a promoted release.
 
 ## Validated paths
 
-- Windows/MSVC 32-bit build helper retained;
-- Linux/CMake configure, build, and `--help` smoke validated;
-- exact promoted HLDS profiles support selected GC/Wii hardware;
-- GDR-8050L and GDR-3120L Xbox/XGD paths are present;
-- media/profile preflight, metadata, XISO, and STOP UNIT cleanup are maintained.
+- Windows/MSVC 32-bit candidate10 challenge-drive behavior remains the current
+  live-validated Windows authority.
+- Candidate11 compiles cleanly through Linux/CMake as a static binary.
+- Native-report fixtures and schema/semantic validation pass.
+- A portable XDFS/XBE metadata fixture proves title, media ID, Title ID, raw
+  GameRegion, formatted region, and UTF-16-to-UTF-8 conversion.
+- Linux ISO/XISO code now returns the same structured Xbox result fields used by
+  native reports, summary output, hashes, and Redump verification.
+- Linux GDR-8050L default output names can be derived from XBE/DMI metadata.
 
-## Known limitation
+## Hardware-validation boundary
 
-`libfriidump/rs.c` retains an inherited right-shift-count warning. It remains
-technical debt and was not silently altered during repository or documentation
-work.
+Candidate11 has not yet been run against a physical Xbox-capable optical drive
+on Linux. Real hardware must prove no-media behavior, unlock state transitions,
+metadata, controlled cancellation, exact hashes, STOP UNIT, complete XISO, and
+redump-style ISO behavior before Linux support can be described as validated.
 
-## Boundary
+The development-only XGD1 layout and raw-ID probes remain Windows-only in this
+first candidate11 increment. They are tracked as a separate Linux-port substage
+and do not block ordinary user ISO/XISO validation.
 
-Disc images, live logs, compiled output, build directories, firmware, and
-result archives remain outside Git. `friidump-handoff.md` is transition history,
-not the current specification; use `README.md`, `docs/XBOX.md`, and this file.
+## Known inherited warnings
+
+`libfriidump/rs.c` retains an inherited right-shift-count warning. Additional
+warnings visible under an explicit `-Wall -Wextra` audit predate candidate11 or
+are non-fatal test-path warnings. No candidate11 portable metadata source error
+or warning blocked the build.
+
+## Campaign
+
+After Linux user-path validation, work proceeds to exact-tag release automation,
+then the FriiDump homepage/compatibility site v1.3.0, then a separately identified
+MinGW investigation.
+
+## Candidate12 correction status
+
+Candidate12 closes the Linux GCC-4244 B101 full-dump gate and corrects runtime
+DAT discovery, Linux lock-status reporting, and the Linux `--help` validation
+false failure. The accepted live result is Sonic Mega Collection (US), 712880
+sectors, with CRC32 `01b52739`, MD5
+`85a525df1481d0ad67d8761f832dca12`, SHA-1
+`06eb6d15b4d7f90ec0fed9ce9a77db41358d74ed`, and SHA-256
+`30098da93f5de9ece8da44f8afdfb85cf9bcdc24d77131221e64e3038a529010`.
+
+
+## Candidate16 Linux authorization status
+
+Candidate13's live diagnostics proved that Candidate12/13 seed failures were
+host-side authorization failures: vendor opcode `0xE7` returned `EPERM` before
+usable drive sense, while Candidate11's working executable carried
+`cap_sys_rawio=ep`.
+
+Candidate16 makes this boundary explicit. Linux vendor-command paths preflight
+effective `CAP_SYS_RAWIO`, refuse whole-process root execution, provide exact
+least-privilege installation instructions, record preflight failures in native
+reports, and issue STOP UNIT cleanup. The build emits a warning but does not
+silently invoke `sudo` or modify file capabilities.
+
+
+## Candidate16 build-hygiene status
+
+Candidate16 preserves Candidate14 raw-I/O authorization and removes the user-side clock-skew and production long-path warning defects. The Linux validator normalizes only future source timestamps before building, and the raw-I/O preflight uses bounded path construction with a larger native-report note buffer.
+
+
+## Candidate16 Linux Xbox tray-cycle status
+
+Candidate15's first Linux Xbox smoke used a normal video DVD and proved target
+selection plus raw-I/O authorization, but failed immediately at Stage 2 because
+the Linux optical door remained locked while FriiDump held the device open.
+Candidate16 releases the Linux `CDROM_LOCKDOOR` state before each GDR-8050L
+software eject/load cycle, restores the lock after a successful load, and leaves
+the door unlocked on failure for manual recovery. A physical Xbox-disc smoke is
+required before the Linux Xbox gate can close.
