Summary

• Re-pin the provider-asset manifest snapshot from the unreachable former PR-head commit to the reachable squash commit that landed PR feat(providers): add Gisoo (OpenAI-compatible) #18112.
• Preserve the existing 144 asset records, expected count, provenance statuses, and validator behavior.

Why

The manifest referenced ca7fc3f5ff3ec3e1f10e056faeb7332a568f6b28, a former PR-head commit that is not reachable from release/v3.8.53 after #18112 was squash-merged. The quality gate validates the manifest snapshot with local Git objects, so it deterministically failed with auditedCommit object does not exist.

b19031110bba41e322b28fcd44eba0d420fd4c9c is the reachable squash commit. Its public/providers tree was independently verified to match all 144 current provider asset blobs exactly.

Validation

• npm run check:provider-asset-provenance — passed: 144/144 registered; proven=72, probable=69, unresolved=3, duplicate-groups=1.
• node --import tsx/esm --test tests/unit/check-provider-asset-provenance.test.ts — 18 passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped.
• Confirmed the replacement commit is an ancestor of the release tip.
• Confirmed public/providers is unchanged and all 144 local asset blobs match the replacement snapshot.
• git diff --check — passed.
• Standard pre-commit hooks — passed.

Scope

This changes only the manifest header audit commit. It does not modify provider assets, source code, tests, workflows, runtime behavior, or the provenance validator.

⚠️ Base-red inherited: #17219. This resolves one independently reproducible Release-Green failure; unrelated existing release-base failures remain out of scope.

Thanks for this, @ahmedgo17390. You found the real problem: the manifest's auditedCommit no longer existed after a squash, and that was failing provenance validation.

#18658 has just landed on release/v3.8.53. It changes the same manifest line and cleared this gate along with the other base-reds in #17219, so this PR has nothing left to add. I'm closing it as covered, not because anything was wrong with your fix.
