+after decider approval. It approves only the bounded later operator action for the
+`SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=0` `ethos-pdf==0.1.1` wheel. It does not upload any Python distribution, 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.

+
+## Exact Decision Fields
+
+- Decision: accept exact patch `0.1.1` deterministic Python PyPI wheel publication decision packet.
+- Approver: `docushell-admin` acting as decider.
+- Date: 2026-06-24.
+- Exact package accepted by this decision: `ethos-pdf==0.1.1`.
+- Exact distribution accepted by this decision: `ethos_pdf-0.1.1-py3-none-any.whl` only.
+- Exact deterministic build input accepted by this decision: `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=0`.
+- Exact source commit accepted by this decision: `d3e3953b99fbc74669f82ee56b753de7db6e63e4`.
+- Exact source tree accepted by this decision: `8920cbc9bc6ae05ec0c417533513637eda12658d`.
+- Exact deterministic wheel SHA256 accepted by this decision:
+  `e0292276e711e75d4f7e1bb8c2c6137c6e89d4c343dd308943eb9b22094ea451`.
+
+## Superseded Hash Context
+
+- Prior timestamp-sensitive approved wheel SHA256:
+  `faa6c4751341b603b986ad3cf65d3c0c2f574e5df1d7232f76c3afd0221dac14`
+- Fresh standard pre-upload rebuild SHA256:
+  `52cc738637a84aa084b776db8be866e7af7438d580f3d564801a2ce94492a950`
+- The approved deterministic request packet classified the difference as generated ZIP timestamp
+  drift with identical wheel member bytes.
+
+## Wheel Metadata Accepted By This Decision
+
+- Name: `ethos-pdf`
+- 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`
+- Import smoke accepted by this decision: version `0.1.1`, `EthosCli`, and `EthosCommandError`.
+- PDFium boundary accepted by this decision: PDFium remains caller-provided through
+  `ETHOS_PDFIUM_LIBRARY_PATH`.
+
+## Approved Operator Action
+
+After this decision record is merged and validation passes on merged source, an operator may upload
+only this deterministic wheel:
+
+```text
+ethos_pdf-0.1.1-py3-none-any.whl
+```
+
+The operator must set `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=0` before building the wheel for upload. The operator must
+use a PyPI-approved authentication path and must not record credentials in the repository. The
+operator must stop if the built wheel filename, SHA256, package version, source commit, source
+tree, deterministic build input, or retained blockers differ.
+
+PyPI upload remains a separate operator action. This decision record does not upload any Python
+distribution.
+
+## Required Operator Pre-Upload Checks
+
+Before uploading, the operator must run:
+
+```sh
+SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=0 python3 -m build --wheel --outdir <candidate-dir>
+shasum -a 256 <candidate-dir>/ethos_pdf-0.1.1-py3-none-any.whl
+python3 .github/scripts/test_patch_0_1_1_python_deterministic_wheel_approval_decision.py
+python3 .github/scripts/test_patch_0_1_1_python_deterministic_wheel_approval_request.py
+python3 .github/scripts/test_patch_0_1_1_python_wheel_reproducibility_blocker.py
+python3 .github/scripts/test_python_public_api_policy.py
+PYTHONPATH=python python3 -m unittest discover -s python/tests
+make release-candidate-prep PYTHON=python3
+git diff --check
+```

+- Source distributions remain excluded.
+- Alternate wheels remain excluded.
+- Alternate Python package names remain excluded.
+- Package tags remain excluded.

+- Broader public wording remains blocked.
+
+## Evidence Bound To This Decision
+
+- Decider decision supplied: Approved; create the patch `0.1.1` Python PyPI publication approval
+  decision record for the exact deterministic `ethos-pdf==0.1.1` wheel candidate in the merged
+  approval-request record.
+- `python3 .github/scripts/test_patch_0_1_1_python_deterministic_wheel_approval_request.py`
+  passed on merged `main`.
+- `python3 .github/scripts/test_patch_0_1_1_python_wheel_reproducibility_blocker.py` passed on
+  merged `main`.

+- `PYTHONPATH=python python3 -m unittest discover -s python/tests` passed on merged `main`.
+- `make release-candidate-prep PYTHON=python3` passed on merged `main` before this decision branch.
+
+## Non-Actions

+- This decision record does not upload any Python distribution.
+- This decision record does not approve an sdist.

+## Retained Blockers
+
+- Public installation wording remains blocked until PyPI availability is closed out.
+- Hosted surfaces remain blocked.
+- Production positioning remains blocked.
+- Public benchmark reports remain blocked.
+- Public benchmark claims remain blocked.
+- Windows packaged artifacts remain blocked.

+
+## Result
+
+The exact patch `0.1.1` deterministic Python PyPI wheel publication decision packet for
+`ethos-pdf==0.1.1` is accepted. Actual PyPI upload remains a separate operator action requiring
+final pre-upload checks, PyPI-approved authentication, exact deterministic wheel hash verification,
+and later registry closeout evidence.
