ClairMeta's CPL checker (23 checks: 14 CPL-level, 9 per asset) mostly tests what the CPL declares (title text, UUID formats, reel entry points and durations, cross-reel coherence of attributes such as SoundLanguage) or compares CPL metadata with MXF probe data; its encrypted-asset hash check only requires a Hash element, without recomputing it. The AssetMap checker (9 checks) is where files on disk are touched: existence, path syntax and declared Length versus actual file size. Checks default to ERROR unless the profile lists them (e.g. title/annotation matches are WARNING).

Curator qualifications: Registry pages and code read 2026-10-22; ClairMeta not run; no DCP checked. Exact split of 14 CPL-level vs 9 per-asset not recounted (total 23 confirmed). Curator amendment CA-AM-0070 (2026-10-22): Hold closed (curator recount of dcp_check_cpl.py @b3b66a02, readback 00d40d86ee32fe9f): 14 methods named check_cpl_* (xml, id_rfc, two title/annotation matches, empty_text_fields, issuedate, referenced_by_pkl, reel_coherence, reel_duration and three picture/sound/aux/subtitle duration variants, reels_cut, reels_timed_text_coherence) and 9 named check_assets_cpl_* (missing_from_vf, missing_from_multi_cpl, labels, labels_schema, uuid, filename_uuid, hash, cut, metadata). The producer's 14/9 split is confirmed.

Limitations: Registry pages and code read 2026-10-22; ClairMeta not run; no DCP checked.

Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
