 | JR-045 | Emit and honour the signature's own `v1:` prefix, so a DSP change is detectable rather than silently non-matching | SR-003 | Low | **Done** (UT-047…049) — `AudioSignatureMatcher.TryParseFrames` refuses any prefix but `v1:`, and refuses malformed or structurally invalid payloads, so a future producer's `v2:` drops the item to the runtime tier instead of scoring as if it were understood |
 | JR-047 | **A fetched manifest is aligned against the local file before its windows are stored**, and the alignment is recorded beside the truth data | SR-003 | High | **Done** (UT-053…057) — `ManifestAligner` runs on the fetch path. A local alignment supersedes the server's offset, since the server has never seen this file; every unavailable path degrades to the server's offset rather than refusing, and a genuine signature disagreement is recorded and surfaced as a caveat without failing the fetch |
