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\LocalFluxPngToJpgBlog`. |
| Personal Windows account path in screenshots | Pass | The app displays only the neutral `C:\tmp` fixture path. |
| Email, account, tenant, or customer identifiers | Pass | None are visible or included. |
| Unreleased customer or personal media | Pass | None are used. |
| Rights-cleared inputs | Pass | Inputs derive from repository-controlled fixtures and committed LocalFlux brand/store assets. |
| Source files preserved | Pass | SHA-256 hashes were unchanged after conversion. |
| Metadata claim qualified | Pass | The article reports profile presence only and does not claim that ordinary conversion sanitizes a file. |
| Transparency claim evidenced | Pass | The transparent source corner and opaque black JPG corner were inspected directly. |
| Editorial frontmatter policy | Pass | Only site-approved editorial fields are present. |
| External upload implied | Pass | The tested workflow remained local; the article does not claim that all third-party workflows are unsafe. |

## Fixture provenance

- `garden-photo.png` was rendered from the repository fixture `tests/Samples/images/heic/primary.heic` with the bundled image engine.
- `localflux-ui-screenshot.png` is a copy of `assets/store/screenshots/desktop-screenshot-02-queue.png`.
- `transparent-localflux-logo.png` is a copy of `assets/brand/lf_logo.png`.

## Publication cautions

- Preserve the captions and the transparency caveat if the article is shortened.
- Do not replace `C:\tmp` with an operator-specific path during recapture.
- If any media is regenerated, rerun the string/privacy scan and update `media-manifest.json` hashes.
- The embedded UI screenshot fixture is itself privacy-safe and uses a neutral LocalFlux test path.
