+The video recreates terminal frames from the **actual recorded output** of the public v0.9.4 ARM64 release on a clean Git clone; it is not an unedited screen recording. The example verifies one claim, **not** an independently identified reviewer: the report explicitly says `A2` and `identity: SELF-DECLARED`. See the linked run record before interpreting its verdict.

 > Developer Preview. The latest published binary is v0.9.4. See

+# UNI public CLI proof — 24 October 2026
+
+**Purpose:** give recruiters and external maintainers a truthful, short entry point to a reproducible CLI run, not a general product-readiness certificate.
+
+- Tested release: [v0.9.4](https://github.com/memolabs-dev/uni-protocol/releases/tag/v0.9.4), downloaded from official GitHub release assets.
+- Binary: `uni-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz`.
+- Host: macOS / Apple Silicon; isolated temporary Git clone of `memolabs-dev/uni-protocol`, source commit `cad0071c90edd7b383e552ae189221ce7c5a5cdc`.
+- Video: [42-second captioned reconstruction](https://github.com/memolabs-dev/uni-protocol/releases/download/v0.9.4/uni-cli-real-execution-20261024.mp4) generated from saved **real** process output. It is not a screen recording and does not simulate additional success.
+- The test's output and all commands are from the published release, not from a locally modified CLI build.
+
+## Reproduce
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/memolabs-dev/uni-protocol.git
+cd uni-protocol
+cargo build --release
+./target/release/uni doctor
+./target/release/uni lint examples/hello/hello.uni
+./target/release/uni verify examples/hello/hello.uni
+./target/release/uni report
+```
+
+The demonstration itself used the **published v0.9.4** binary, rather than the local build shown for ease of reproduction.
+
+## Recorded observations
+
+| Command | Observed exit | Relevant output |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `uni doctor` | 0 | `healthy: true`; 14 registry verifiers, git `dirty=false` at preflight |
+| `uni lint examples/hello/hello.uni` | 0 | `errors=0 warnings=0` |
+| `uni verify examples/hello/hello.uni` | 0 | `binary-builds PASS`; `Decision: Accepted` |
+| `uni report` | 0 | `Claims 1/1 verified`; `Assurance A2` |
+
+The reported A2 assurance explicitly states **independent actor: NO, identity: SELF-DECLARED**. An `Accepted` decision means this specific example satisfied its registered checks; it does **not** establish third-party attestation, deployment readiness, identity provenance, security, or successful outcomes in other projects.
+
+This is a documentation/demonstration artifact. No production integration or externally commissioned independent assessment took place.
