Fleet includes automated protocol-path and replay evidence. Physical host separation and observability captures remain explicit deployment evidence — not assumed product facts.
Versioned observed-state checkpoints make restart replay proportional to the verified suffix; evidence deletion remains an explicit checkpoint-proven operator action. The daemon refuses startup unless the strict segmented tail equals its persisted cursor.
Fleet operates the Core's federation primitives — the multihub follower, claim forwarding, and the deny-by-default federation gate with mTLS + Ed25519 — at production grade. It does not replace the Core or redefine its wire and federation contracts. This release requires SYNAPSE CHANNEL Core v0.99.21.
