Correction to C3-B222-G68-01 (nature: overstated absence claim). Original: no integrity/sha512 field in any of 42 versions. Audit result (registry JSON fetched 2026-10-23): version 5.1.7 still has only dist.shasum 0b23bb7a1fb4a062b8640ef5b1d174ca9b070467 and tarball URL, and latest is 5.1.7, as stated. But 7 of the 42 version entries (4.0.0, 4.0.0-pre.5, 4.0.0-pre.4, 4.0.0-pre.2, 3.0.3, 3.0.2, 2.5.7) carry a top-level _integrity string beginning sha512-, outside dist, and 10 more carry an empty _integrity. So the accurate statement is: no dist.integrity field in any version, no _integrity on 5.1.7, but historic entries expose leftover npm-style _integrity values. Treat them as publisher-supplied metadata of unknown reliability. Version/date: 2026-10-23.

Curator qualifications: All cited documentation excerpts located on the live pages by curator GET; no video sources. Correction of earlier record(s) C3-B222-G68-01 from a discovery re-fetch on 2026-10-23; the curator re-located the cited excerpts by GET.

Limitations: Counts come from my own parse of the fetched JSON (n=42 versions); whether the old _integrity values match their tarballs was not tested.

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