RE-VERIFY: D59 snapshot at 2026-10-05 10:29 UTC. Re-check route, artifacts, logs and service before any further action. The attempted new image was rolled back; fixes are not live. No NAT acceptance run was dispatched.

Evidence branch: https://github.com/CodexCoder21Organization/PlanRepository/tree/wip/D59-netlab-deploy-20261005/handoffs/artifacts/D59 Verified rollback checkpoint: https://github.com/CodexCoder21Organization/PlanRepository/commit/e92c3dd4680432efdfaa3e9d609c9228a5267153

This deployment covers all three linked handoffs. Their original bodies are preserved as handoff-1.txt, handoff-2.txt, and handoff-3.txt on the evidence branch. Completion remains with fable-drain-20261004.

D59 deployment findings

2026-10-05 UTC - OBSERVED: Lane started with authorization limited to publication of netlabmanager:netlab-manager-server:0.0.84, redeployment of url:netlab-hosted:, and exactly one NAT acceptance run. No production changes made.

Plan

IN PROGRESS: Read procedures and all three handoffs; claim them and verify main, fixes, route, and manager-worker compatibility.
PENDING: Capture baseline configuration, container, host artifact metadata, logs, and health probe; check concurrent changes.
PENDING: Build and compare artifacts; publish immutable version only if appropriate.
PENDING: Record rollback, upload new filename, change image only, verify behavior and logs, and run one NAT acceptance.
PENDING: Push evidence to PlanRepository, update handoffs and reports, clean up background processes.

2026-10-05 10:06 UTC - OBSERVED: All three handoffs claimed as fable-drain-20261004. Both manager PRs are MERGED; remote main is af2d711c706cc806903b89b154c98686925a50f7. Hardware fabric certificate directory is absent; used brief-authorized last-resort SSH with cn_host_diag for read-only metadata. Live manager: 58,514,304 bytes; mtime 2026-08-11 14:23:26 UTC; SHA-256 8f70ecd6e5795ba7290f79933860308aac903b1ef2a8717cbaf9e5e973733595; Main-Class netlabmanager.MainKt. Worker: 58,383,410 bytes; mtime 2026-09-13 03:58:02 UTC; SHA-256 7ad605fdd866fee1b0723a7633971b0e6f1a481ffad7287a8c558e3b3befa6e3. No recent live-jar change. Prescribed route_key filter returned []; examining safe schema rather than concluding absent route. No publication or deployment yet.

2026-10-05 10:09 UTC - OBSERVED: Baseline captured within 7 minutes. Filtered route matches the handoff image+args exactly, memoryLimitMb=384, keepWarmSeconds=86400, dependencies=[url://digitalocean-droplets/], allowConflictingJvmFlags=true. Env names only: DROPLET_IMAGE, ENV_IDLE_TTL_MINUTES, ENV_MAX_LIFETIME_MINUTES, JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS, MALLOC_ARENA_MAX. Exactly one RUNNING container, host_port 34757. Baseline health (the exact netlab-cli 0.0.32 invocation from handoff 3) returned status=ok, latencyMs=6675, exit=0. Baseline logs contain four historical StacklessClosedChannelException warnings at startup 09:13:42-44; no new warning accompanied this health probe. The routes JSON uses nested facade.configuration.domain and has no route_key field: prescribed filter returned [], so used domain filter after removing env fields. This is a tooling/schema finding, not a missing route. Manager source WorkerClient.kt requires receivedContentLength+receivedContentSha256/v1 and says minimum worker 0.0.40; the retained lazy-start upload regression directly uses published worker 0.0.41. INFER: deployed worker 0.0.41 is compatible; not assumed solely from filename. Fresh main rebase and both merge-ancestry checks succeeded. Local fat build started, PID 1493846, hard deadline 900 seconds, JDK_JAVA_OPTIONS=-Xmx512m. Maven POM for 0.0.84 returned HTTP 404. All former authorization blockers cleared through hcli; no production mutation yet.

Plan: premises and baseline DONE; artifact build IN PROGRESS; publication/deployment/verification/checkpoint PENDING.

2026-10-05 10:11 UTC - OBSERVED: Baseline checkpoint pushed and verified: https://github.com/CodexCoder21Organization/PlanRepository/tree/wip/D59-netlab-deploy-20261005 at fd7e18b108fa7bea58190a3072d3942091c58bc3. Current merge-check queries show both checks SUCCESS on each of https://github.com/CodexCoder21Organization/NetLabManagerServer/pull/150 and https://github.com/CodexCoder21Organization/NetLabManagerServer/pull/151. Read-only extraction of the actual deployed worker handler class confirms uploadAcknowledgementContract and receivedContentLength+receivedContentSha256/v1, plus both receipt fields. Worker compatibility is supported by source and deployed artifact, not only a version string. Remote Maven build started from the same freshly-rebased main SHA. Latest NAT workflow is still the September 24 failure; no acceptance dispatched by this lane. PlanRepository handoffs README still describes merging handoff PRs; current create-handoff skill says use central service instead, and explicit lane no-merge/no-complete rule controls.

2026-10-05 10:14 UTC - OBSERVED: Fat build completed exit 0 in 294831ms from main af2d711c706cc806903b89b154c98686925a50f7. New fat JAR size 60,462,283; baseline size 58,514,304 (ratio 1.0333); same Main-Class netlabmanager.MainKt; 24,083 entries including MainKt, WorkerClient, resolver, stdlib and client-impl.jar. SHA-256 3c38b4939d980ccc0023f1c2dacfba7c491208e4c966a460709dbee93af088dc. Build warnings are preserved in build-fat.log (deprecated apply/exec overrides and ExperimentalCoroutinesApi opt-in); no compilation failure. Remote Maven invocation has connected to buildtest but returned no run id or artifact as of this timestamp. Started a local Maven extraction against the already-built cache from the same freshly-rebased main SHA; this is the sub-second cached-build exception to remote preference. Neither artifact is a stub intended for production. Runtime behavior verification is still pending.

Rollback (recorded before any route mutation)

coursier launch containernurserycli:container-nursery-cli:0.0.20 -r https://kotlin.directory -- --url https://api.nursery.wasmserver.com update-route --facade url --domain netlab-hosted --image '/root/ContainerNursery/apps/netlab-manager-server.jar?args=--ssh-key-path%20/root/.ssh/id_ed25519%20--worker-jar-path%20/root/ContainerNursery/apps/netlab-worker-server-0.0.41-711b961b.jar'

New filename planned: /root/ContainerNursery/apps/netlab-manager-server-0.0.84-af2d711c-D59.jar. Preserve the query args byte-for-byte. No rollback required yet because route unchanged.

2026-10-05 10:16 UTC - OBSERVED: Published netlabmanager:netlab-manager-server:0.0.84 using Maven publisher 0.0.6 artifact-dir HTTP procedure, exit 0. The version returned 404 immediately before publication; --force was the publisher's skip-prompt option under the brief's explicit publish authorization, not used against an existing version. Downloaded published JAR and POM and cmp verified exact identity. Maven JAR is 332,288 bytes, SHA-256 9c7f866e64e17383b30d30b711b19da39a35092ae32f58399caaad4e407624cb; POM SHA-256 eb68ed5c89fa67db2ebc471f0c76abcb604258febd1d7c1f2220320fb91b0210. All 147 skinny-JAR classes match the fat JAR bytes. This small Maven JAR is never the deployment image. Local cached Maven build completed in 30792ms, exit 0. Cancelled the redundant remote-build client after local output was available (exit 143; no run id or remote artifact had been returned). Exact output was only 'Connecting to url://buildtest/ ...' / 'Connected to url://buildtest/ (health={result=OK})'; no diagnostic error was returned, so no remote root cause is asserted. Uploaded fat JAR to the new path by SCP because fabric credentials are absent; old path was rechecked unchanged, and new path absent before upload. Rollback already recorded above. No route mutation yet.

2026-10-05 10:17 UTC - OBSERVED: Host copy verified size 60,462,283 and SHA-256 3c38b4939d980ccc0023f1c2dacfba7c491208e4c966a460709dbee93af088dc, same Main-Class. Predeploy route JSON compared byte-for-byte equal to baseline. Submitted the image-only update for url:netlab-hosted:, keeping the exact args query. Deployment decision made within 15 minutes. First post-update health request in progress; container count and new runtime logs still to verify. No NAT acceptance has been dispatched.

2026-10-05 10:19 UTC - OBSERVED: Route points at new image; all filtered non-image fields equal baseline and args match exactly. Post-deploy health succeeds, latencyMs=17932, exit 0. Exactly ONE RUNNING container on new image, host_port 33485. Log gate FAILED: first tail includes 17 new ERROR lines absent from baseline: four RelayDisconnectedPeerCleanupEffect lines and thirteen Pending dial controller failed to construct transport dial lines ending in IllegalArgumentException: Cannot dial recovery peer ... at .../p2p-circuit/... . Exact returned lines preserved in new-errors-1.txt and after-logs-1.txt; Nursery truncates long error lines, so no full stack trace was returned. Liveness is successful, but absence of new errors is not. A probe create was started just before processing the fetched log output; it succeeded for d59-deploy-20261005. This ordering is a lane mistake: the log gate should have been evaluated before create. Stopping dependent upload/exec/NAT work, deleting this lane's probe environment, and classifying the dial construction failure for the required rollback decision. No acceptance run dispatched.

2026-10-05 10:21 UTC - OBSERVED: Second runtime tail has 49 WARN/ERROR lines, including 17 pending dial construction failures, 12 relay cleanup notifications, and 4 reachability failure notifications. Failure mechanism is identified in the exact published resolver 0.0.1259 artifact: RetirementAwareHost$network$1$connect$1$4 filters host transports by handles(address), then throws IllegalArgumentException with the full message 'Cannot dial recovery peer <peer> at <address>: no host transport handles this address.' The live failures name circuit-relay addresses ending /p2p-circuit/<target>, which this recovery dial path cannot handle. Bytecode inspection preserved in recovery-dial-bytecode.txt; this is ordinary artifact inspection, no reflection and no source change. Baseline did not show this class of error. No claim is made that this affects every public operation: health and create/get succeeded, but the explicit no-new-errors gate is failed. Probe delete returned deleted=true. Upload, >30s exec and NAT are not run because they depend on a verified rollout. This is an explicit blocked outcome under brief step 8, not a silent deferral. Local unzip is absent ('/bin/bash: line 1: unzip: command not found'); used Python zipfile for local artifact inspection. Host unzip was available.

2026-10-05 10:24 UTC - OBSERVED: Rollback image-only update succeeded. Filtered route exactly matches baseline; exactly one RUNNING old-image container at host_port 42935. Probe environment delete is logged completed; post-rollback exists query returns exists=false. Probe provisioning had failed at DigitalOcean service auto-termination timer creation (webcron closed pending RPC), with log explicitly stating DigitalOcean creation was not attempted on that first attempt; no underlying cause is asserted for that provider-service fault. An in-flight second attempt existed before deletion, so independently checking provider inventory for the lane name. Ambient-discovery post-rollback health failed exit 1 while fetching bytecode (direct stream closed; relay response got 19/21 chunks). Full returned error is in rollback-health.txt; no separate stack trace was emitted. A second read-only health inspection uses the exact stable bootstrap peer from the acceptance workflow, to distinguish the named-service discovery path from old-manager liveness; no re-deploy/restart performed. The exists request initiated before rollback also failed with ambiguous closed-stream outcome and is preserved in probe-cleanup-exists.txt. No NAT acceptance dispatched.

2026-10-05 10:25 UTC - OBSERVED: Explicit-bootstrap rollback health succeeds exit 0, latencyMs=11744. This uses the acceptance workflow's known Nursery peer; the ambient-discovery failure remains evidence, not overwritten by this success. Independent DigitalOcean CLI list filtered to netlab-worker-d59-deploy-20261005 returned []; exists=false in manager. Rolled-back logs also show the second in-flight provisioning attempt noticing the deleted generation and cleanup finding no droplet. No provider resource for this probe remains observed. No deploy retry, restart, extra route change, merge, enqueue, challenge auto-merge, or handoff completion was performed.

FINAL - BLOCKED

Request: publish manager 0.0.84, redeploy only url:netlab-hosted:, verify long worker exec and uploaded bytes, and then run exactly one 8-test W3Wallet NAT acceptance.

Published: netlabmanager:netlab-manager-server:0.0.84 from merged main af2d711c706cc806903b89b154c98686925a50f7. Published JAR SHA-256 9c7f866e64e17383b30d30b711b19da39a35092ae32f58399caaad4e407624cb and POM SHA-256 eb68ed5c89fa67db2ebc471f0c76abcb604258febd1d7c1f2220320fb91b0210. Exact downloaded bytes match build. Artifact URL: https://kotlin.directory/netlabmanager/netlab-manager-server/0.0.84/ . This immutable version remains published after rollback.

Attempted deployment: fat JAR built from the same main SHA, /root/ContainerNursery/apps/netlab-manager-server-0.0.84-af2d711c-D59.jar, 60,462,283 bytes, SHA-256 3c38b4939d980ccc0023f1c2dacfba7c491208e4c966a460709dbee93af088dc. Uploaded image remains on host under new filename but is not routed. Old live JAR was never overwritten.

Current live image after rollback: /root/ContainerNursery/apps/netlab-manager-server.jar with original exact args; SHA-256 8f70ecd6e5795ba7290f79933860308aac903b1ef2a8717cbaf9e5e973733595, 58,514,304 bytes, August 11 mtime. No unmerged code was published or deployed by this lane. The old image predates the merged fixes; live verification of those fixes remains incomplete.

Check	OBSERVED result
Merged premises	Both manager PRs MERGED with both CI checks SUCCESS; both ancestry checks pass; main still 0.0.84
Worker compatibility	Manager requires receipt contract supported since 0.0.40; retained test uses 0.0.41; actual deployed worker contains receipt fields and contract
Baseline/concurrent operator	Old jar unchanged on recheck; route matches handoff and predeploy baseline; no recent jar mutation

Long worker request	NOT RUN: blocked by failed no-new-errors gate; no claim of verification
Upload bytes under /jars	NOT RUN: blocked by same gate; probe create/get/delete only, no upload or apply
NAT acceptance	ZERO dispatched by lane; all eight per-test results NOT RUN. No new run URL; last existing run is https://github.com/CodexCoder21Organization/W3WalletTests/actions/runs/35988452579 (September 24 failure)
Rollback	SUCCESS: original route exactly restored; ONE RUNNING old-image container at 42935
Probe cleanup	delete=true, exists=false, provider inventory [] for lane droplet name; stale generation cleanup logged

Rollback command: the exact image-only command in the Rollback section above was executed once successfully. Do not blindly redeploy the same artifact to try again.

Blocker and question for orchestrator: Will you assign an upstream resolver follow-up for circuit-relay addresses reaching RetirementAwareHost's direct-transport recovery path, and verify the provider/webcron timer path before another rollout? Recommendation: resolve the demonstrated dial error before a new rollout, preserving immutable 0.0.84 and all original route settings. This lane cannot mark deployment or acceptance complete; the brief explicitly requires rollback and BLOCKED on an explained log-gate failure.

Workarounds/findings: absent fabric credentials required authorized SSH/SCP; route_key filter does not match this CLI's nested JSON schema; local cached Maven extraction used after remote client returned no run id/artifact; local unzip absent, Python zipfile used; long Nursery error lines truncated (full message suffix recovered from exact published artifact); ambient-discovery rollback health failed while explicit peer succeeded; create started before processing the fetched log gate, then deleted and provider cleanup verified. Every new warning/error returned by the first two tails is preserved under handoffs/artifacts/D59. Challenge CLI was not invoked because its automatic merge is prohibited by the lane brief. No timeout, iteration count, test assertion, or source code changed.

Durable evidence: https://github.com/CodexCoder21Organization/PlanRepository/tree/wip/D59-netlab-deploy-20261005/handoffs/artifacts/D59 . No PR was created for these requested WIP evidence snapshots, and nothing was merged. Both source checkouts remain unchanged; build outputs excluded from commits. Guidance read: all three original handoff bodies; container-nursery-deploy, hardware-fabric-processes, publish-maven-artifact, github-repos, create-handoff, netlab, status-report and watch-build skills; manager and W3WalletTests READMEs; PlanRepository README and handoff format/triage; full Engineering Philosophy; relevant Testing Architecture sections for public API and real dependency checks. No new tests were written.

Plan state: live premises, baseline, build, artifact comparison, publication, rollback and evidence DONE. Deployment acceptance is BLOCKED under step 8; dependent behavior and NAT verification were stopped explicitly, not reported as complete. Remaining original objective: fix/resolve the runtime log gate, make an authorized rollout pass all checks, then dispatch the single NAT acceptance. Handoff completion stays with orchestrator.

2026-10-05 10:29 UTC - OBSERVED: Final rollback checkpoint e92c3dd4680432efdfaa3e9d609c9228a5267153 is confirmed on remote evidence branch. Process inventory using ps -eo pid,ppid,args -ww shows no tracked background PID or descendant remains. No acceptance dispatch was started. Updating all three handoffs with the blocked snapshot and full report.

2026-10-05 10:31 UTC - OBSERVED: First handoff body update succeeded. BLOCKED report failed exit 1 while confirming setBlockedReason; transport outcome is ambiguous. Full exact returned failure:

Blocked reason for handoff 'hf-2026-09-24-find-why-the-netlab-manager-s-persistent-rpc-connection-to-a-worker-closes-while-a-request-that-has-run-about-20-seconds-is-still-pending' may have been stored, but could not be confirmed: Sandboxed code threw an exception: java.lang.InternalError: Exception encountered in implementation of foundation/url/sjvm/intrinsics/ServiceBridge:rpc(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/util/Map;)Ljava/util/Map; :
foundation.url.resolver.PersistentRpcConnection$AmbiguousRpcRequestException: RPC request 'setBlockedReason' to service 'handoff' has an ambiguous outcome because its transport failed after the request write began. The request was not replayed because the remote handler may already have run. Original transport failure: Persistent RPC connection to service 'handoff' was closed while requests were still pending. Reader transport failure: java.io.EOFException: Stream closed while reading message data (read 0 of 4 bytes). cause: foundation.url.resolver.UrlResolutionException: Persistent RPC connection to service 'handoff' was closed while requests were still pending. Reader transport failure: java.io.EOFException: Stream closed while reading message data (read 0 of 4 bytes). Check the handoff before retrying.

Reading the handoff before any retry, as the CLI directs. No production action is retried.

2026-10-05 10:32 UTC - OBSERVED: Read-back confirmed first handoff body and blocked reason were stored. A report attempt without --blocked-reason was rejected locally (routine invocation mistake), so next report retains the required flag. Exact returned error:

Missing required option: --blocked-reason. A BLOCKED report must state the succinct reason that is preventing progress.

     --url <value>               Remote service URL (default url://handoff/).

Terminal status report: BLOCKED. Original request remains publication, one-route deployment, live upload/long-exec verification, and one NAT acceptance. Manager fixes are merged and the version is published. The attempted image generated new recovery-dial errors, so it was rolled back. The original image is running again and acceptance remains unstarted.

Delegated work at a glance: no child LLM invocations or subagents were started by this lane. Landing sweep: no PR or landing gate belongs to this deployment lane; no merge or enqueue was performed. Both linked manager PR merge states were read again at report time and remain MERGED. No new PRs exist for this lane.

Next steps: orchestrator should assign the upstream resolver error investigation, verify the provider timer path, authorize a clean rollout once those issues are resolved, and then run the one outstanding acceptance.

Lessons: compare fat artifact shape before route changes; successful health does not override new runtime errors; after an ambiguous RPC result read back stored state before repeating the operation.

Lane hfNL1 live verification

OBSERVED: FINAL verification at 2026-10-06 05:51:44 UTC. Original request: drive the NetLab zero-byte upload handoff to LANDABLE, OUTDATED, or BLOCKED, with all merging and completion left to the supervisor.

OBSERVED: BLOCKED artifact: the merged and published upstream change from https://github.com/CodexCoder21Organization/UrlResolver/pull/1196. That PR is OPEN at 2caeda4b9f2a61d76f3994cbc7940746426ddf7f (branch fix/recovery-dial-circuit-relay-address). Checks: bld-build SUCCESS; kotlin.build (remote) IN_PROGRESS (https://buildtest.kotlin.build/run?id=b2767ed3); kotlin.build (kompile-remote-build) NEUTRAL. This lane is not taking over or watching that other active effort. A new immutable foundation.url:resolver version must be published from its eventual merged commit; no merged commit or release number exists yet, so none is invented. The latest Maven resolver metadata advertises 0.0.1302, lastUpdated=20261002104858, before the October 5 fix. Updating to that version does not establish inclusion of this change.

OBSERVED: Merged manager work:

https://github.com/CodexCoder21Organization/NetLabManagerServer/pull/150 MERGED 2026-09-27T07:37:28Z; head f82c4b592af782f52379f8086457f187f611010a; merge https://github.com/CodexCoder21Organization/NetLabManagerServer/commit/6427c00bfbfd9ffd57c38bacd29352e347d6e657. Both recorded checks SUCCESS; remote run https://buildtest.kotlin.build/run?id=63ef2417.
https://github.com/CodexCoder21Organization/NetLabManagerServer/pull/151 MERGED 2026-09-27T11:30:42Z; head aed9e82f9d7cccd0e134360ccad91cef89708de5; merge https://github.com/CodexCoder21Organization/NetLabManagerServer/commit/af2d711c706cc806903b89b154c98686925a50f7. Both recorded checks SUCCESS; remote run https://buildtest.kotlin.build/run?id=8e60aa92.

OBSERVED: Fresh clone main and git ls-remote both identify af2d711c706cc806903b89b154c98686925a50f7. Both merge-ancestry checks exit 0. Both manager WIP branches retain the merged PR heads. Main retains tests/testLazyStartUploadReachesWorkerStagingWithBytes.kts, which sends eight binary chunks totaling 2,097,152 bytes through real lazy-start TCP handling, the manager WorkerClient, and published worker handler, then asserts receipt length and exact staged bytes. Published netlabmanager:netlab-manager-server:0.0.84 POM exists and pins foundation.url:resolver:0.0.1259, matching main. Publication is complete; no manager publication is needed at that unchanged commit.

OBSERVED: ContainerNursery routes read-back at 2026-10-06 05:51:44 UTC still points url:netlab-hosted: to /root/ContainerNursery/apps/netlab-manager-server.jar?args=--ssh-key-path%20/root/.ssh/id_ed25519%20--worker-jar-path%20/root/ContainerNursery/apps/netlab-worker-server-0.0.41-711b961b.jar. This matches the D59 rollback image, rather than its new 0.0.84-af2d711c-D59 image. This lane did not read the host bytes and therefore does not newly verify the image hash or source revision; D59's preserved host-byte evidence remains the basis for the old artifact identity. No live upload, environment provisioning, NAT acceptance, rollout, restart, or publication was attempted.

OBSERVED: The mechanism is physical recovery selecting a circuit-relay address for a direct host transport that does not handle it, and the evidence is the D59 artifact inspection and exact runtime exception preserved at https://github.com/CodexCoder21Organization/PlanRepository/tree/wip/D59-netlab-deploy-20261005/handoffs/artifacts/D59 plus the current upstream diff filtering P2PCIRCUIT in discovery recovery. This is an attributed diagnosis, not an independently reproduced result from this lane. The upstream PR describes 5/5 failures on main and 10/10 passes after its fix; those are its reported counts, not this lane's runs. Its source analysis explicitly does not establish that this exception caused separate WebCron RPC EOF failures. That causal overstatement in the old handoff blocked reason must not be carried forward.

OBSERVED: How the existing fixes work: The manager upgrade preserves binary stream chunks instead of treating them as empty. Its regression verifies the worker receipt and staged bytes. The separate resolver change excludes circuit routes from physical recovery while retaining RelayService forwarding; it is still awaiting landing and publication.

OBSERVED: Definition-of-done audit: LANDABLE does not apply to the original manager PRs because both are already MERGED; their code/CI landing premise is refuted by live PR state and main ancestry. OUTDATED does not describe the full current handoff because rollout and live acceptance were explicitly left incomplete after rollback. BLOCKED applies to the concrete upstream PR/publication artifact above. No new tests were written, no existing tests were weakened, and no new code fix was proposed; the open-PR fail-first/five-run/review gate was therefore not invoked for already-merged manager work. No code changes, stashes, local-only commits, build outputs, or extra worktrees exist in the manager checkout. Existing Docker-mount diagnostic remains preserved at https://github.com/CodexCoder21Organization/NetLabEmbedded/tree/wip/netlab-upload-mount-W14 and was not changed or adopted as unfinished implementation work.

OBSERVED: Guidance read: full current handoff, full D59-preserved earlier upload handoff, all listed handoff reports (the reports command returned []), fresh manager README (no AGENTS.md), full https://github.com/CodexCoder21Organization/PlanRepository/blob/main/handoffs/README.md, full https://github.com/CodexCoder21Organization/DocumentationRepository/blob/main/PHILOSOPHY.md, Testing Architecture core/public-API/end-to-end/TDD sections from https://github.com/CodexCoder21Organization/DocumentationRepository/blob/main/architecture/TESTING.md, and github-repos/create-handoff/status-report/container-nursery-deploy skills. Browser access to private docs returned 404; authenticated gh API retrieved them. rg was unavailable; grep was used. No challenge auto-merge was run because this lane forbids merging.

OBSERVED: Delegated work at a glance: none active or recently finished; no child agents launched. Landing sweep: manager PRs already merged; upstream resolver PR belongs to its own effort, with required remote gate already in progress. This lane has no landing gate to dispatch. Plan: read/claim/live verification DONE; manager code landing premise REFUTED with merge evidence; remaining deploy dependency IDENTIFIED; final report and cleanup completing now.

INFER: Once the resolver PR is landed and its exact merged revision published, the supervisor can assign the manager dependency update and an explicitly authorized rollout, then verify upload bytes, long worker requests, and the outstanding single NAT acceptance. Publishing, deployment, and completion remain outside this lane's authority.

OBSERVED: Lessons: verify main ancestry before reopening old code work; distinguish source landing from live rollout; do not infer a causal connection between errors merely because they occurred in one rollout window.

STATUS: BLOCKED awaiting merge and publication of https://github.com/CodexCoder21Organization/UrlResolver/pull/1196; both manager fixes are merged and published, rollout remains incomplete.
