 ## Acceptance criteria
 
-- [ ] Pin protoc, gRPC, and plugin versions or declare a verified compatible range.
-- [ ] Generate Python and C++ bindings into out-of-tree build/package locations through documented commands.
-- [ ] Add Python↔C++ round-trip and descriptor compatibility tests.
-- [ ] A clean checkout regenerates bindings deterministically or fails with an actionable toolchain error.
-- [ ] Applicable shared quality gates in `prd.json` pass, and the evidence handoff records exact commands/results, changed files, limitations, and dependency handoff.

 ## Evidence handoff
 
-Write and verify `.scratch/distributed-gguf-runtime/evidence/DGR-023/README.md`. Until every criterion and applicable gate has real evidence, this story remains `passes: false`. Legacy evidence is provenance only, not completion credit.
