 ## Authority
 
-FriiDump is active at `/srv/project-frankenstein/repos/friidump.git` under
-annotated tag `v0.5.3.5-pf1`.
+FriiDump 0.5.3.16-pf1 is the release line prepared from the accepted
+Candidate21 implementation. The annotated release tag is the immutable
+authority after publication; verify the live tag object, peeled commit, and
+tree rather than inferring authority from a checkout directory or ZIP name.
 
 ## 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.
+- The maintained Visual Studio 2019 32-bit build and native-report fixtures pass.
+- Linux/CMake builds pass with explicit normal-user `CAP_SYS_RAWIO` handling.
+- A GCC-4244 B101 completed the Sonic Mega Collection (US) GameCube dump with an
+  exact full-image hash match.
+- The Linux GDR-8050L path established both Xbox game-view transitions, read
+  XDVDFS metadata, captured DMI media ID `TQ00501A`, produced a controlled
+  partial GAME-XDVDFS output with hashes and native reporting, and completed
+  STOP UNIT.
+- Native `friidump-test-result.v1` reports cover complete, partial, failed,
+  cancelled, no-media, seed-failure, and modified-firmware states.
 
-## 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.
+The Linux GDR-8050L evidence validates the command path, game-view state,
+metadata, controlled partial output, cancellation, reporting, and cleanup. It
+does not by itself claim a newly completed full Original Xbox image on Linux.
+Candidate-specific validation scripts remain in `validation/` as historical,
+exact evidence tools; release builds use the maintained build entry points and
+the generic raw-I/O capability helper.
 
-## Boundary
+## Known inherited warnings
 
-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.
+`libfriidump/rs.c` retains an inherited right-shift-count warning. Other
+explicit `-Wall -Wextra` warnings are pre-existing or non-fatal test-path
+warnings and were not silently normalized during release finalization.
+
+## Campaign
+
+Release publication uses an exact annotated tag, exact-tag Windows and Linux
+builders, immutable artifact manifests, and independent private/public
+read-back. Candidate retirement remains a separate final gate.
+
+## 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.
