Warm retargeting, ABM reinforcement and clear-role jobs can Fit; cold category education is Weak fit; mobile-only is Hold. Do not use Fit as launch approval. Draft can proceed provisionally with an unknown final URL if offer, audience and approved proof/no-proof instruction exist. A missing offer holds Draft. A missing destination or tracking plan holds local Preflight and Launch. A copy or decoded-asset hard failure means Repair. A complete local preflight can pass while Launch remains Hold. Count Unicode code points including spaces against the exact limits. Check actual attached bytes, SHA-256, MIME, dimensions and bytes; metadata alone cannot clear an asset. Warn on non-square company image and risky query characters. Do not turn a warning or editorial recommendation into a hard failure. Reject unsupported macros, including %COMPANYNAME% and lowercase tokens. If a background is used, do not display description or member photo. Native account eligibility, roles, exact CTA, crop, member states, redirected destination, review and delivery stay Hold until dated target-account evidence is supplied. Native observed_pass requires owner, ISO-8601 observed_at no later than today, campaign_manager_observation evidence kind, saved evidence location, SHA-256 of attached evidence bytes, and record_sha256 bound to this source record. A path or hash string without attached matching evidence bytes stays Hold. The observer must still inspect whether the file actually shows the named Campaign Manager check. Planned, pending, denied and free-text claims are Hold. Every Hold needs a stable request ID, owner, reason and exact evidence request. Keep missing facts as Unknown. Preserve all supplied wording and identity fields; recompute only derived states. Imported verdicts are historical unless current exact asset bytes match and decode. Reject corrupt or stale-contract JSON; never silently repair it. To compute record_sha256: deep-copy the source record; delete result, source_refs and native_checks; delete decoded from each asset; serialize with JSON sorted keys, UTF-8, ensure_ascii=false and separators=(comma,colon); SHA-256 those bytes. The source fingerprint does not prove that an evidence file is authentic. Result JSON must contain fit, fit_reason, fit_next_move, draft, preflight, launch, checks, warnings, problems, requests, native_checks and next_action. Copy fit_reason and fit_next_move exactly from the contract route; do not invent a rationale or recommendation. Each request has request_id, owner, reason, evidence_request and field. Include source_refs with rule_id, official_url, observed_at and force_level; copy these from the rules, not from a generated claim. The readable handoff must show the fit rationale, recommended format move, all four decisions, supplied facts, selected variant, counts including fallback, exact destination/tracking, decoded assets, open requests, native evidence and source links. Use stable request IDs: req-fit-route, req-objective, req-offer, req-proof, req-audience, req-company-name, req-variants, req-selected-variant, req-preview-state, req-company_image-bytes, req-background_image-bytes, req-destination-url, req-tracking-plan and req-native-{check_id}; for variant failures use req-{variant_id}-{field}, req-{variant_id}-{field}-length or -macro. Return every open request in the record and handoff. The next_action names only the first actionable repair or fact. Return readable Markdown and structured JSON with identical fields, decision, requests and next action. REVIEW TASK: Recompute the full decision independently from supplied facts, dated rules and actual attachments. Compare readable and JSON outputs field by field. Return ACCEPT only if both match the recomputation and no state implies unobserved native approval; otherwise REJECT with exact request IDs, reasons, and corrected JSON and Markdown. For a generator test, make isolated synthetic copies of the supplied fixture, then mutate missing destination, bad macro, over-cap Unicode, wrong background dimensions and stale/corrupt import. Create a wrong-dimension image only if a background file is supplied and a decoder is available; otherwise mark that test unrun and do not claim it passed. Never treat synthetic mutations as campaign facts. INPUT RECORD AND FILE EVIDENCE Paste the record and attach exact asset files here.
