# .NET Renderer Operating Status

## Current Canonical Path

- `src/dotnet/QuantEngine.Tools/Program.cs`
- `src/dotnet/QuantEngine.Tools/QuantEngine.Tools.csproj`

## Current Outputs

- `Temp/operational_report.json`
- `Temp/operational_report.md`
- `Temp/final_decision_packet_v4.json`

## Legacy Path

- `tools/render_operational_report.py`

This file is retained only for historical compatibility and maintenance reference.
It is not used in the operating or CI path.

## Operational Rules

- CI and release flows must use the .NET renderer path.
- Report consumers may continue to read `Temp/operational_report.md` and `Temp/operational_report.json`.
- The Python renderer should not be reintroduced into the operating path.

## Verification

- `dotnet build src/dotnet/QuantEngine.sln -c Debug`
- `python tools/validate_json_generator_outputs_v1.py`
- `python tools/validate_report_packet_sync_v1.py --packet Temp/final_decision_packet_active.json --report Temp/operational_report.json`
