 | ERR-021 | VedAstro raw archive manifests can exist outside the high-rigor evidence packet, leaving final reports unable to prove whether official raw evidence was archived. | mitigated 2026-07-08 | Keep `vedastro_official_raw_archive_manifest` in `machine_evidence_packet.sections` for API and MCP strict workflows. |
