Verification Evidence

• Embedded Payloads: xreaper.zsh --verify-embedded confirmed both payloads (rusage_probe.c and footlights.zsh 1.1.0) with ALL CLEAR.
• Universal2 Compilation: lipo -archs on compiled rusage_probe binary returned x86_64 arm64.
• Live Dry Run: Evaluated 1,296 processes with active ancestry protection; correctly spared own ancestry (agy).
• Automated Test Suite: run_tests.zsh executed 22 unit tests covering syntax, CLI flags, Universal2 gate, dry-run safety, and JSON output schema: 22 / 22 assertions passed (100% green).
