 passed after the final native edits. No model inference or GPU test was needed
 for these protocol regressions.

+## Linux CPU structural validation
+
+Ubuntu 24.04 WSL compiled the immutable `370db7e` Git snapshot with the locked
+dependencies and `SEARCHI_FORCE_CPU=1`. All nine preview tests passed in 0.73 s;
+the complete native desktop suite then passed 45/45 in 2.78 s, with no skips.
+The native source tree remains identical to that snapshot; subsequent commits
+changed frontend retry behavior only. Compilation took 8m 18s after missing
+locked dependencies were fetched. An initial offline attempt could not resolve
+the uncached Single-Instance plugin; it was not a product test failure.
