+- Serialize Verified Evidence record writes behind a single-writer lock and add regression coverage so parallel `hyper verify` calls cannot reuse and overwrite the same `VE-*.json` record.
+- Make `hyper doctor` report source-built or temporary release-candidate validation as an expected local-build state when PATH still resolves an installed `hyper`, while preserving warnings for real installed-binary mismatches.
+- Update the release checklist so runtime-template releases explicitly confirm the new AI Control Charter and External Reference Evolution packet surfaces before publishing.
