# M7 Incrementals, Exclusions, and Empty-Source Safety Evidence

- Coverage: ordered normalized exclusion rules, exclusion policy persisted in signed
  manifests, incremental compatible-baseline selection, independently restorable
  complete manifests, parent linkage, content-addressed blob reuse, and
  empty-source opt-in.
- Verification: M7 unit, incremental, and empty-source suites are included in
  the passing project verification.
- Full verification: `make check` passed with 78 unit/contract, 39
  integration, 7 fault, and 17 security tests, plus Ruff, mypy, frontend
  typecheck, and frontend production build.
- Scope: scheduling remains M8 work.
