An orbit audit chains each step of the energy/escape ledger back to its cited source, closing the loop so every radius, speed, and specific-energy value traces to a named input. The bookkeeping is exact only for the stated masses, radii, speeds, and rows in the ideal two-body, circular-orbit model. Real observations add noncircular orbits, perturbations, extended bodies, reference-frame choices, instrument calibration, finite precision, and measurement uncertainty.

The capstone audit cites field, circular, ratio, energy, and escape sources. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

The audit cites field, circular, ratio, energy, and escape

The audit carries accepted bit 1 only after each source value matches.

Field 1, circular speed-square 4, and escape speed-square 8 all come from cited sources.
