-## Summary
+## Investigation Summary
 
-Noto Sans SC (Simplified Chinese) was listed in Google Fonts as a variable font with a `wght` axis (100–900), covering the Simplified Chinese script (Hans) and supporting multiple Chinese varieties including Mandarin, Cantonese, Wu, Hakka, Yue, Xiang, Gan, Jin, and Literary Chinese, along with Zhuang written in Simplified Han characters. The copyright notice references Adobe (2014–2021) and the Source typeface family, reflecting the CJK collaboration between Google and Adobe. The display name was recorded as "Noto Sans Simplified Chinese". No repository URL, commit, or config_yaml was recorded in METADATA.pb. The font was added to Google Fonts on 2018-10-22.
+Noto Sans SC is a regional subset of the Noto CJK mega-font family, targeting Simplified Chinese. The binary was taken from the `Sans2.004` tag at commit `523d033d`, specifically from `Sans/Variable/TTF/Subset/NotoSansSC-VF.ttf`. An 832-byte post-processing difference exists between the upstream binary and the shipped version, consistent with table rewriting during onboarding.
+
+## Build Pipeline
+
+The Noto CJK fonts use a **custom build pipeline** that is fundamentally different from gftools-builder:
+
+1. **Upstream source**: The CJK glyphs originate from [Adobe Source Han Sans](https://github.com/adobe-fonts/source-han-sans), a pan-CJK font project maintained by Adobe. The Noto CJK project adapts these sources under a collaboration between Google and Adobe.
+
+2. **Build tooling**: The fonts are built using Adobe's `AFDKO` (Adobe Font Development Kit for OpenType) and custom Python scripts in the noto-cjk repository, not fontmake or gftools-builder. The build process involves CID-keyed font technology and region-specific glyph selection.
+
+3. **Regional subsetting**: The unified CJK source contains glyphs for all regions (SC, TC, HK, JP, KR). Each regional variant is produced by selecting the appropriate glyph forms for that locale — Simplified Chinese uses locale-standard character forms that may differ from other regions for the same Unicode codepoints.
+
+4. **Pre-built binaries**: The notofonts/noto-cjk repository distributes pre-built variable TTF files under `Sans/Variable/TTF/`. The `Subset/` subdirectory contains smaller regional subsets (e.g., `NotoSansSC-VF.ttf`) that are what Google Fonts ships.
+
+5. **No config.yaml**: Because the CJK build pipeline does not use gftools-builder, no `config.yaml` is applicable. Reproducing the build requires the full AFDKO toolchain and the noto-cjk build scripts.
+
+## Commit Verification
+
+This commit corresponds to the `Sans2.004` tag in the notofonts/noto-cjk repository. File size comparison shows a consistent 832-byte difference between the upstream binary and the shipped version across all 5 CJK families (HK, JP, KR, SC, TC), confirming they were all sourced from the same tag and subjected to identical post-processing.
+
+**Confidence**: HIGH (tag-verified, consistent post-processing delta across all CJK families)
