The README said the engine is held to `engine/test/vectors/protocol-v1.json`,
a path from the pre-split subtree layout that does not exist here. The vectors
live in flamenet-e2e and are read from there rather than copied, because a
copied vector file drifts and a drifting vector file stops being a check.
PublishedVectorsTest already searches for it and fails loudly when it cannot
find it; the README now says so, and names FLAMENET_VECTORS.
CONTRIBUTING records what a JVM test cannot tell you: Conscrypt and the JVM's
JCA are different providers, so :engine:test passing proves nothing about a
handset, which is what interop/ is for. Also the exception escaping a WebRTC
callback that SIGABRTs rather than surfacing, the missing permission that
presented as a dead button, and `*/` inside a KDoc reporting an unclosed
comment hundreds of lines from its cause.

The unit suites run on the project's own runner before main moves. And
scripts/verify-build.py proves what two clean builds already showed:
every byte of the APK's contents reproduces from this source — only the
signing block differs, because signatures are randomized. Rebuild,
compare contents, check the certificate: that is the whole trust chain.

Nothing here is an app. This is the protocol implemented a third time, and
it is deliberately first: a third implementation is only worth writing if it
is written against the specification and the published vectors rather than
against a reading of the Swift and JavaScript that already agree.
So far: canonical bytes, safety numbers, and the RFC 6962 key log with its
inclusion and consistency proofs. Nine tests, all against the vectors the
other two engines are held to. X25519, Ed25519, X3DH, the Double Ratchet,
sealed sender and the post-quantum halves are not written yet.
The vectors are read from the protocol repository rather than copied here,
and the suite fails rather than skips when it cannot find them -- an engine
that quietly stops checking itself is worth less than no third engine.
