Basis and provenance

The curl advisory attributes AI assistance to discovery, not attack execution. The code-execution proof used narrow allocator and transfer-state conditions, with no field exploitation established. Assessment uses the pinned Claims and source identities; public primary pages were not independently retrievable during this run. Impact remains unrated because field consequence or a comparable scoring rubric is not established.
