Release-critical evidence is the exact path executed by CI:

python -m pytest tests/verification -qNumerical tolerances are defined beside each benchmark and refer to temperature rise or field norms, not misleading relative error on absolute kelvin.
Classification:
- analytical verification: numerical model versus closed form;
- manufactured-solution verification: field error and observed order;
- grid convergence: fixed geometry and power across at least three meshes;
- regression: current code versus an intentionally frozen repository result;
- cross-code validation: independently authored software with pinned inputs;
- hardware holdout: untouched matched-condition measurement.
Only the first three are presently passing. Cross-code and hardware holdout are not run. Regression parity is never called physical validation.
