| Gate live, fail-closed        | Push pipeline **2486**: `verify` ran at exact commit, FAILED on a real latent defect (gateway cross-user-isolation cleanup on the no-DB path), and `build` / `publish-npm` / `build-gateway` were all **skipped**. First push in repo history that did not publish ungated (prior ungated publishes beside failing builds: 2439, 2462, 2482).                                                                                                                                                                            | Woodpecker repo 47 pipeline 2486 |

## RI-N2 — Forge + MACP fail-closed (typed explicit simulation)

- ⏳ Forge: PR **#1278** (head 4917df1f; CI 2477 green; forge 116/116 at head). Merge pending review at rebased head.
- ⏳ MACP: PR **#1293** (head 2097379e; CI 2465 green; review 173). Merge queued.
- Post-merge behavior docs: PR **#1299** (README + mosaic-forge SKILL.md; merges after #1278).

## RI-N3 — PRD authority

- ⏳ PR **#1294** (head 8d258e1d; CI 2466 green; review 174). Merge queued.

## RI-N4 — Quality-rails evaluator

- ⏳ Probe inventory: PR **#1302** (CI 2484 green). Review pending.
- ⏳ TS evaluator absorbs shell probes: RI-3-002, dispatch after #1302 merges.

## RI-N5 — Consequence-aware stale UI

- ⏳ PR **#1300** (head a337d787; CI 2481 green; review 179). Web suite 199 → 281 tests (failure matrix + negative controls), independently re-run by the dispatching seat. Merge queued.

## Known-open infrastructure item (not a card)

Gateway/ci-base **image** pushes fail on registry credentials: Woodpecker repo
secrets `REGISTRY_USERNAME`/`REGISTRY_PASSWORD` are rejected by the Gitea
container registry (explicit `UNAUTHORIZED` at `/v2/token`; pipeline 2494 after
PR #1306 corrected the secret references — previously masked as an ambiguous
push-permission error since at least 2439). Requires a package-scoped token
(Jason). The npm publish path is green and gated; this item tracks image pushes
only and predates the RI-050 floor.

## Process record (audit trail)

- Merges executed under the jarvis principal (topher seat; identity provisioning
  pending) via the Gitea API replicating `pr-merge.sh` semantics (head-pin +
  squash + keep branch): `pr-merge.sh` hard-codes `main`-only targets and cannot
  express this repo's `next` trunk — wrapper gap captured to OpenBrain
  (id 9db7a95a) and to the framework queue.
- Reviews tonight: 175/178 (zane's #1298, both heads, by topher); 176/177/179/
  180/181/182 (fred) — cross-review rule (producer ≠ reviewer) held on every
  merge: producers were pi workers / zane; reviewers were the other seat.
- CI contention note: concurrent PR pipelines on the single CI agent can time
  out the web SPA suite (measured 2470/2472 vs serialized 2475/2476/2477);
  serialize retries when the queue is busy.
