# M16-GAP-00270 Status

status: done
task: asset.catalog_new operator LOCAL_EXACT slice
updated: 2026-08-23 America/New_York

scope:

- The fixture links one object from external `WebGapCatalogNew.blend`.
  Blender desktop observes the no-catalog-selection boundary as `poll=false`,
  records `CANCELLED` for `ASSET_OT_catalog_new`, and confirms no Main
  mutation. Save/reopen preserves the Library record exactly.
- WASM/Main reads the same external Library with stable source path,
  `EXTERNAL_REQUIRED` status, and an empty dependency closure. The comparator
  confirms save/reopen stability and malformed-input rejection without Main
  mutation.

evidence:

- Fixture generation, desktop checker, npm comparator, direct comparator, and
  task context checks passed with exit code 0. Chromium-only policy was
  preserved and no Firefox/WebKit run was made. Blender's expected missing
  external-library warning is recorded by the comparator while the Library
  state remains exact.
