### Round 3 Verification

*   **Round 1 Corrections Check:** Verified. The manuscript preserves the Section 6.2 multi-source GAV union semantics (explicitly defining `bag`, `set`, and `disjoint` combination rules) and the Section 5.4 explanation restricting Eq. 2 to set semantics (properly noting that bag multiplicities lack a standard intersection without an additional information order). The candidate remains scientifically identical to the Round 2 accepted version.
*   **Hand-worked Example Check:** Verified. The text persistently and explicitly disclaims execution of the PostgreSQL/SQLite/JSON example (e.g., in the Abstract: "The example is hand worked. It is not evidence of a running backend"; in Section 4.2: "These are paper data, not connector output"). The paper makes no false claims about an implemented federated executor.

### Re-Audit 

1.  **Formal/Database Correctness:** The theoretical claims and propositions remain rigorous and bounded to their assumptions. The separation of read interpretations (GAV/LAV/GLAV) from raw schema mappings and the explicit handling of snapshot nonimplication and disjointness obligations are sound.
2.  **Distributed/Federation Realism:** The capability contracts, failure policies (`strict`, `explicit_partial`, `declared_stale_fallback`), and the stated impossibility of a globally atomic snapshot without coordination protocols demonstrate deep understanding of real-world distributed systems. 
3.  **Novelty/Prior Art:** The paper remains intellectually honest and comprehensively positions the work against decades of prior art (Garlic, TSIMMIS, Calcite, Trino, SPARQL federation). The candidate contribution is properly scoped to the combined, versioned obligation layer rather than claiming algorithmic novelty for the constituent pieces.
4.  **Evidence Labels and Overclaims:** The strict evidence taxonomy (`PROVED`, `OPEN`, `OBSTRUCTED`, `COMPUTATIONAL`) is strictly enforced throughout the paper. All runtime, telemetry, and performance claims correctly resolve to `OPEN` or `OBSTRUCTED`. 
5.  **Citations:** The bibliography successfully integrates classical and modern systems literature, providing an accurate foundation for the formalizations.
6.  **Reproducibility:** The reproducibility record remains a gold standard for a design paper, cleanly separating the reproducible compilation of the manuscript from the rigorous requirements of a future empirical execution bundle.
7.  **Exposition and arXiv Readability:** The formatting, structured tables, cleanly scoped propositions, and appendices make the paper highly legible as an architectural contract. 

### Findings

**BLOCKER:**
*   None.

**MAJOR:**
*   None.

**MINOR:**
*   None.

**NOTE:**
*   The manuscript maintains its exceptional structural integrity, keeping theoretical obligations completely isolated from unmeasured empirical claims.
*   The integration of failure modes (e.g. required source timeout vs. partial output) directly into query semantics rather than network-layer abstractions is a compelling architectural design.

### Required Actions
