Disagreements remain public; the audit does not promote either label source to biological truth.\n\n## Remaining boundaries\n\n- Ambient RNA remains open because the released matrices do not identify empty droplets.\n- The exact author command, read structure, whitelist, reference checksum, sample sheet and FASTQ aggregation manifest remain unavailable.\n- Subject identity is represented by one GSM/BioSample biopsy unit; cells remain nested observations.\n- Disease-effect testing and direct candidate-level DMD perturbation truth remain locked.\n\n## Claim boundary\n\nThe checksum-matched GSE288958 reference is ready for bounded, read-only, sample-aware descriptive context. Independent doublet and annotation audits are complete as sensitivity and disagreement layers. Ambient RNA remains unresolved because unfiltered droplets are unavailable, author-exact reprocessing remains unclaimed, and no disease-effect, causal, model-training, therapeutic or direct candidate-level DMD perturbation conclusion is authorized.\n"
