# makePAD runtime observation — macMAKE v0.1.1 RC6

**Evidence origin:** unpublished release candidate
**Observed:** 2026-10-17
**macMAKE candidate archive SHA-256:** `f6b370e0bc80dcf823d6c3695df9b86b2d003fbc34f98e9b70c89930433a59c3`
**Guest:** Mac OS 9.2.2 in QEMU 8.2.2, `mac99` machine, G4 CPU profile
**Application:** makePAD v0.1, MacBinary II SHA-256 `505a3b1deb62ffc396537b1010c8f23921f4ae4308ac6ee989ccf7cd285ca3d1`

## Observed behavior

The exact RC6 Linux CLI built makePAD using the ordinary PowerPC project build
workflow. The application was staged in the guest using an HFS-aware transfer
method. Finder launched the application. The operator typed text, observed it
in the editor, requested Quit, saw the unsaved-changes dialog, chose not to
save, and returned to Finder.

This is a runtime observation for one makePAD artifact and one Mac OS version.
It does not establish that every application works, that other OS versions
are supported, or that the exact public v0.1.0 binary has passed runtime
testing. It is not an RC7 test.

## Screenshot limitation

RC6's `macmake run` checkpoint files contained QEMU's P6 PPM output while
their filenames ended in `.png`. The guest-boot and application-state files
were byte-identical and showed an About This Computer dialog over Finder. They
are not independent visual proof of both checkpoints. Separate retained
interaction screenshots show the makePAD window accepting text and its return
to Finder. RC7 corrects format detection, extensions, checkpoint metadata,
and duplicate-image handling; a real-guest capture from RC7 must be recorded
separately before claiming that correction was observed in the guest.

## Inputs and privacy

The build used locally supplied Universal Interfaces and Metrowerks MSL files
that are not distributed with macMAKE. No SDK contents, private source code,
or system disk images are included in this public-safe record. The original
run report, logs, disk hashes, raw captures, and interaction screenshots are
retained with the internal RC6 qualification evidence.
