# Privacy and publication review

Status: **PASS for editorial handoff**

Reviewed: `2026-08-12`

## Checks

| Check | Result | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Personal Windows account path in article | Pass | Article paths use only `C:\tmp\LocalFluxPdfCompressionBlog`. |
| Personal Windows account path in screenshots | Pass | App screenshots display only neutral `C:\tmp` fixture paths. |
| Email, account, tenant, or customer identifiers | Pass | None are visible or included. |
| Unreleased customer or personal documents | Pass | None are used. |
| Rights-cleared inputs | Pass | PDFs are self-authored from generated text and repository-controlled LocalFlux media. |
| Screenshot scope | Pass | Captures show the LocalFlux app only; no desktop, browser, Explorer sidebar, taskbar, notification, or account UI is visible. |
| Source files preserved | Pass | Recorded source SHA-256 hashes were unchanged; the output files use separate names. |
| Metadata claim qualified | Pass | The article states that compression is not a sanitization guarantee. |
| Quality claim qualified | Pass | Exact fixture results are reported and all 28 page renders were visually reviewed. |
| Universal savings claim avoided | Pass | The article explains why savings vary and includes a 0% result. |
| Encryption/signature claim qualified | Pass | The encrypted fixture and signature-shaped fixture both failed closed and created no outputs. |
| Editorial frontmatter policy | Pass | Only site-approved editorial fields are present. |
| External upload implied | Pass | The tested workflow required no upload; online tools are not characterized as universally unsafe. |

## Publication cautions

- Preserve the fixture-result qualifiers, metadata warning, and signed-document warning if the article is shortened.
- Do not replace `C:\tmp` with an operator-specific path during recapture.
- Do not publish the encrypted boundary fixture or its test password; it is evidence-only.
- Treat the signature-shaped fixture as a detector test, not as cryptographic signature-validation evidence.
- If media is regenerated, rerun visual QA, the privacy/path scan, and the media-manifest hashes.
