+Status: **patch 0.1.1 Python deterministic wheel approval request recorded; PyPI upload remains blocked**
+
+This record requests decider review for publishing exactly the deterministic patch `0.1.1` Ethos
+Python wheel to PyPI. It replaces the timestamp-sensitive wheel hash from the prior request with a
+wheel built using `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=0`. It does not approve or perform PyPI upload, create package
+tags, change public wording, approve hosted surfaces, approve production positioning, approve
+Windows packaged artifacts, approve bundled project-maintained PDFium builds, approve `ethos-doc`,
+approve `ethos-rag`, or approve public benchmark reports or claims.
+
+## Subject
+
+- Repository: `docushell/ethos`
+- Lane: Python PyPI deterministic wheel publication
+- Prior blocker record:
+  `docs/validation/patch-0-1-1-python-wheel-reproducibility-blocker-validation-2026-06-24.md`
+- Candidate package: `ethos-pdf==0.1.1`
+- Import package: `ethos_pdf`
+- Candidate wheel: `ethos_pdf-0.1.1-py3-none-any.whl`
+- Deterministic build input: `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=0`
+- Deterministic candidate wheel SHA256:
+  `e0292276e711e75d4f7e1bb8c2c6137c6e89d4c343dd308943eb9b22094ea451`
+
+## Superseded Hash Context
+
+- Prior timestamp-sensitive approved wheel SHA256:
+  `faa6c4751341b603b986ad3cf65d3c0c2f574e5df1d7232f76c3afd0221dac14`
+- Fresh standard pre-upload rebuild SHA256:
+  `52cc738637a84aa084b776db8be866e7af7438d580f3d564801a2ce94492a950`
+- The blocker record classified the difference as generated ZIP timestamp drift with identical
+  wheel member bytes.
+
+## Exact Request Fields
+
+- Decision requested: approve exact deterministic patch `0.1.1` Python PyPI wheel publication
+  preparation inputs for later operator execution.
+- Approver requested: `docushell-admin` acting as decider.
+- Date requested: 2026-06-24.
+- Exact package requested: `ethos-pdf==0.1.1`.
+- Exact distribution requested: `ethos_pdf-0.1.1-py3-none-any.whl` only.
+- Exact deterministic build input requested: `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=0`.
+- Exact source commit requested: `d3e3953b99fbc74669f82ee56b753de7db6e63e4`.
+- Exact source tree requested: `8920cbc9bc6ae05ec0c417533513637eda12658d`.
+- Exact deterministic wheel SHA256 requested:
+  `e0292276e711e75d4f7e1bb8c2c6137c6e89d4c343dd308943eb9b22094ea451`.
+
+## Wheel Metadata Bound To This Request

+- Version: `0.1.1`
+- Summary: `Python wrapper for the Ethos document evidence CLI.`
+- License-Expression: `Apache-2.0`
+- Requires-Python: `>=3.8`
+- Wheel-Version: `1.0`
+- Root-Is-Purelib: `true`
+- Tag: `py3-none-any`
+- Wheel member timestamps: `1980-01-01 00:00:00`
+
+Wheel file list:
+
+- `ethos_pdf/__init__.py`
+- `ethos_pdf/_cli.py`
+- `ethos_pdf-0.1.1.dist-info/METADATA`
+- `ethos_pdf-0.1.1.dist-info/RECORD`

+
+## Local Evidence Bound To This Request
+
+- `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=0 python3 -m build --wheel --outdir <candidate-dir>` built
+  `ethos_pdf-0.1.1-py3-none-any.whl` twice in isolated build environments.
+- Both deterministic builds produced SHA256
+  `e0292276e711e75d4f7e1bb8c2c6137c6e89d4c343dd308943eb9b22094ea451`.
+- Wheel metadata inspection reported `Name: ethos-pdf`, `Version: 0.1.1`,
+  `License-Expression: Apache-2.0`, `Requires-Python: >=3.8`, and `Tag: py3-none-any`.
+- Wheel ZIP member timestamp inspection reported `1980-01-01 00:00:00` for every member.
+- Local install smoke used `python3 -m pip install --no-deps --force-reinstall <candidate-wheel>`.
+- Import smoke reported version `0.1.1`.
+- Import smoke resolved `EthosCli`.
+- Import smoke resolved `EthosCommandError`.
+
+## Manual Decision Gate
+
+Manual action is required before any PyPI upload. A decider must accept or reject this exact
+deterministic request packet. Only after that decision record passes may an operator upload the
+exact deterministic wheel named above with the exact SHA256 named above.
+
+This request does not select an sdist, alternate wheel, additional package name, additional Python
+module, or broad package-publication class. If any artifact filename, version, hash, source commit,
+source tree, metadata, build input, public wording, or blocker set changes, this request must be
+replaced by a new evidence record and a new decider review.
+
+## Non-Approvals
+
+- This request record does not approve PyPI upload.
+- This request record does not upload any Python distribution.
+- This request record does not approve the deterministic wheel hash.
+- This request record does not approve an sdist.
+- This request record does not approve another wheel.
+- This request record does not approve package tags.
+- This request record does not approve public installation wording.

+- Actual PyPI upload remains blocked pending explicit decider approval.
+- Public installation wording remains blocked pending PyPI availability closeout.
+- Package tag creation remains blocked pending explicit decider approval.
