 - Completion requires real exact-head CI, immutable published artifacts, generated GitOps verification, expected Argo revision Synced/Healthy, ready workloads and application readback.
 - Durable task chain (default is the only verified installed profile): t_237a2476 discovery/contract → t_aec4d4dd CI/artifacts → t_0f3787d3 template/dev generation → t_3e1d0fdf deployment/independent acceptance.
 - Evidence resides under this channel's artifacts directory. Task creation does not mean deployed or running.

+## Operational destination and deployment checkpoint (2026-10-29)
+- Discord CUGA channels are frozen/read-only. Continue in Mattermost channel `np8g1qwj8jf3zkraz1wuwb88nw`; no new Discord posts.
+- Application main `0c39d31ccab97c7558ce0649443bd87ee3574bbf`: required artifact CI7353 jobs passed; overall native suite failure retained under experimental DEV exception. Image/chart published in private Harbor.
+- Template main `e635339285e4630cdd49f761b925a4e94efe5a57` and generated DEV main `58026cb74a8537c4c9b6b5599ea7dd9bbb688234` merged with green integrated CI. Fresh deployment preflight verified refs/manifests/chart and 16 tests plus exact regeneration.
+- Deployment task `t_3e1d0fdf` cannot activate: approved provider URL/model/dedicated Bitwarden key not supplied; no visible CUGA secret keys or CUGA Argo bindings. Existing publishing credentials work and are not runtime credentials. Separate approved pull-only ESO/Argo provisioning is required; earlier Bitwarden creation HTTP404 remains unresolved.
+- Live cluster has no CUGA namespace/Application/workload; DEV answers remain deliberately disabled. No running URL, provider call, persistence/rollback exercise or runtime acceptance claimed. Security findings remain deferred, not fixed.
+- Current report: `/opt/data/channels/cuga-delivery/artifacts/cuga-dev-delivery-report.md`; fresh machine receipt: `artifacts/cuga-dev-preflight.json`. Resume the existing task after inputs, without duplicate cards.

+- **Channels scanned:** 37/38 authoritative IDs via authenticated live Discord REST, restricted to guild `1518726359512387766` text inventory. Retained test `1518733120831226028` remains absent; its history could not be scanned. No voice or other-guild histories scanned. Routed CUGA delivery remains outside MONITORED_CHANNELS and was not scanned.
+- **Knowledge:** zero newer human messages. Channel wikis and MEMORY.md unchanged; only this audit log updated. Existing coverage blocker persists, with no new durable status change.
+- **Latest processed human anchors:** unchanged: Skills Public `1564213593283629142`, CUGA `1562882559682158643`, Jarvis general `1562747828982521897`, Shorts `1562569220850581606`, Eldorado `1562405021952245894`, wiki `1550913962810282146`, absent test `1532723701039108117`. All other anchors unchanged from explicit wiki anchors / Run #181 fallback; hub-web has no human anchor and returned empty history.
+- **Config:** required --update-config passed; 33 exact mapped skill_view directives, maximum 262 characters, installed skills including symlinks and matching wikis verified. Parsed non-routing settings unchanged. No jobs, permissions, response scope or monitoring membership changed.
+- **Health:** supplied checks healthy; live REST independently verified accessible-channel history.
+- **Mirror preflight:** expected active API account and repository metadata verified; clean main, explicit SSH fetch and divergence `0 0`. Final push/ref equality and authenticated exact-SHA artifact readback follow this entry; outcome reported in delivered summary.
