The Persona AI Welding Humanoid evidence ledger: every line has a date and a source.

4 arms-length events on file for the Persona AI Welding Humanoid, newest first. Claims are listed and labeled; they never lift the tier.

Spec sheet (DOF, payload, battery, safety cert) ships with the August build, sourced from the maker's datasheet. Specs describe design intent; they never stand in for evidence.
