# Handoff: Decide how to establish an immutable common NetLab transport build

Written 2026-07-28 08:56 UTC.

**RE-VERIFY:** Re-check the running manager jar's `UrlProtocol2.class` CRC and current Maven artifacts before deciding. Fresh evidence takes precedence.

## Mission summary

Choose the authorized basis for bringing the NetLab manager and workers onto one transport build.

## Current decision

The running manager contains `UrlProtocol2.class` `581869 / 3cacd644`, but its declared resolver `0.0.670` coordinate now rebuilds as `542842 / 5b043c4b`. Worker main has no revision with the manager's declared transport pins.

Choose one:

1. Recover and publish an immutable artifact set that reproduces `581869 / 3cacd644`, preserving the original same-vintage mission.
2. Authorize a coordinated manager and worker source upgrade to a newly selected common resolver/protocol/libp2p set, with tests at both ends.

No production action should proceed until one path is selected and the built worker is verified against its intended manager ground truth.
