Draft during the 2026-08-18 overnight run: RI-N1 gate evidence complete
(2486 fail-closed blocking all publish steps, 2488 first gated green npm
publish, negative controls mutation-verified in #1305), plus pending-card
placeholders and the registry-credentials infrastructure note. Updated
to final when all RI cards merge.
Squash-merged by topher (jarvis principal) via break-glass: pr-merge.sh hard-codes main-only merge targets and cannot express this repo's next trunk. Gates: CI 2475 green at head 758659dd, review 176 APPROVED (fred) at pinned head.
