Visual · t42_capstone_lab
Capstone: checklist × $CERT_LAB cert prep evidence. Original Cyberlium.
Opening
Close the cert prep loop — honest study artifacts indexed — without dumps, proxy testing, or fake credentials.
Walk Topic 42 checklist on YOUR `$CERT_LAB`: verify all module packs, grep for braindump/dump/proxy (zero hits), update capstone-evidence-index with UTC completion, write integrity paragraph naming official objectives discipline and primary cert path from YOUR journey. Secure notes chmod 600. Ready to keep practicing — curriculum complete is a milestone, not a cheat pass or stop-learning event.
1. Execute checklist
Check each row; link artifact or N/A; confirm zero dump refs in any file.
