 **Latest verified public pass:** `2026-03-27` via `bash scripts/verify/verify-end-to-end-routing.sh --profile=public` with report at [verification_report.md](verification-evidence/e2e-verification-20260327_134032/verification_report.md). Result: exit `0`, `DNS passed: 38`, `Failed: 0`, `HTTPS passed: 19`, `Skipped / optional: 1` (after `run-all-operator-tasks-from-lan.sh` NPM sync; `rpc.defi-oracle.io` may log HTTP 405 on the verifier probe but stays non-failing for the profile).
 **Latest verified private/admin pass:** `2026-03-27` via `bash scripts/verify/verify-end-to-end-routing.sh --profile=private` with report at [verification_report.md](verification-evidence/e2e-verification-20260327_134137/verification_report.md). Result: exit `0`, `DNS passed: 4`, `Failed: 0`.
 
+**Evidence folders:** Each run creates `verification-evidence/e2e-verification-YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS/`. Commit the runs you want on record; older dirs can be removed locally to reduce noise (`scripts/maintenance/prune-e2e-verification-evidence.sh --dry-run` lists candidates). Routing truth is **not** inferred from old reports—use [ALL_VMIDS_ENDPOINTS.md](ALL_VMIDS_ENDPOINTS.md).

 ## Verification profiles
 
 - **Public profile (default for routine E2E):** web, api, public RPC endpoints.
