# Phase 02: Search Core — Verification (Retroactive)

**Note:** This VERIFICATION.md was captured retroactively as part of Phase 4 (Defensive Hardening).
Verification was performed inline during phase execution and documented in individual SUMMARY.md files.
The audit source is `.planning/v1.0-MILESTONE-AUDIT.md`, which cross-references all evidence.
