Readiness Checks the State, Not the Steps (Privacy Travel Kit)

The finale of The Build: check the finished Communication Suite kit with the Hardware Lab's readiness assessment. Readiness checks the kit's current state, not the steps you completed: switch a required setting off and readiness drops, even though every milestone stays recorded. The twelve checks, how each failing check names its fix and points you to it, a failure drill (inject an outage, see the blocking, repair, reconnect), and twelve of twelve. Then what that does and doesn't prove: simulated results aren't evidence of real leak protection, so the real proof is the real-world checks from the build: the Phase 1 check, the three café checks, the router isolation test and the restore test.
