Status and reporting

Lead with the verdict and exact environment. Keep canonical Task flow, deployment state, UAT verdict, and release decision separate.

Recommended update:

## UAT result — <VERDICT>
- Run: <run ID and exact E2E commit>
- Environment: <name and base URL>
- Deployment: app <commit>; images <digests>; GitOps <commit>; Argo CD <sync/health>
- Journeys: <passed>/<failed>/<skipped>; <browser matrix>
- Evidence: <artifact index>
- Defects/blockers: <links or none>
- Next action: <one owner and action>

Retain the mapped destination and verified handoff receipt; reuse the existing handoff identity on retry rather than duplicating work. A summary in the source channel alone does not prove receipt.

Never say “released,” “production-ready,” or “DONE” from a UAT pass alone. Releases owns promotion and final release status.
