# GAL-FINGERPRINT-I Chamber v0.2.2 — Gate C validation repair

## Failure corrected

Gate C v0.2.0 validation attempted to read:

```
data/registered/gate_b/GAL_FINGERPRINT_I_GATE_B_PROVENANCE_AMENDMENT.md
```

The supplied package contained this file, but Windows extraction under a very long project path could omit it. The validation endpoint then raised `FileNotFoundError`, even though the Gate B numerical evidence and all registered galaxy assets were present.

## Repair

- The provenance amendment remains bundled as a Markdown file.
- An identical embedded fallback is now authoritative when the bundled file is absent.
- The project report copy is generated automatically at validation.
- Missing provenance documentation can no longer abort scientific-asset validation.
- No STRUC-I functions, Gate C branch rules, thresholds, input ladders, or Gate B evidence hashes were changed.

## Version provenance

```
Controller/runtime package       GAL-FINGERPRINT-I Chamber v0.2.2
Measurement kernel               STRUC-I v1.0.4
Gate B successful runtime        v0.1.3
Gate B legacy export label       v0.1.0
Scientific rerun required        no

## 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.
