# Windows path handling — v0.2.2

The project may remain in a deeply nested folder. The chamber stores its Python environment and active checkpoints under short external paths:

```text
%LOCALAPPDATA%\UNNS\GFI022_PY\
%LOCALAPPDATA%\UNNS\GFI022_RUNTIME\<project-key>\
```

The canonical direct exports are still written to the project under `outputs/exports/struc_i/`.

Do not copy old v0.1.x run-state folders into the v0.2.2 runtime. Gate C creates separate branch identities and reads Gate B evidence from the preserved R2–R5 direct run-package ZIP files.

## v0.3 project interpretation

This document contributes to the galaxy structural-fingerprint programme. Numerical, technical, protocol, or provenance content above is preserved. The canonical interpretation is that the fingerprints are reproducible, organized, and galaxy-specific; sampling, coverage, and baryonic-preparation dependence describe the transformation of fingerprint expression and do not erase the structural finding.
