In the `N=1024`, `T=0.3` QGEFT benchmark, a black-hole surrogate initialized at target degree `160` evaporates through `24` discrete photon-like topological emissions over `80` sweeps. The emitted spectrum deviates strongly from a thermal baseline (`L1 = 0.6242`), while successive emissions remain highly correlated (`0.7976 ± 0.1445`) with a nonzero information-bearing score (`0.5872`). The present benchmark therefore supports a discrete-information interpretation of Hawking radiation: the outgoing channel is not exactly thermal and can encode black-hole microstate data as a topological barcode.
