## Why The existing fixed-profile harness treats each 1,179-byte datagram as an encoded frame, so its reported frame rate, frame boundaries, bitrate, queue pressure, and processing evidence do not model the named 60/120 FPS profiles. The v6 complete-frame fixture subsequently exposed a source-fidelity defect on ordinary Linux runners: it emitted every UDP shard in one tight loop, unlike pinned Apollo's bounded intra-frame rate and batch schedule. The affected v6 qualification evidence remains retained but is superseded for candidate-readiness purposes. ## What Changes - Generate deterministic variable-size encoded frame units at the named frame rates and target bitrates, including bounded keyframes. - Traverse native Apollo recovery, production queues, the production pacer, QUIC framing, and independent reassembly. - Assert frame count/rate, bitrate, exact bytes and boundaries, clean loss attribution, latency, and resource bounds. - Keep short smoke tests separate and leave all prior normative artifacts unchanged. ## Capabilities ### New Capabilities None. ### Modified Capabilities - `gateway-qualification`: Fixed-profile evidence measures complete encoded frame units rather than one datagram per frame. ## Impact The existing qualification harness and canonical qualification specification only. No codec operation, production dependency, or normative run before immutable consumer publication. Requirements: P3C-002, P3C-008, P3C-029, P3C-030, P3C-033, VER-009, VER-010, OPS-015.
