Why: include the current integration baseline before verification.
Evidence: fetched origin/main=59cbf1109634b66c88f5b1702f330cd738aa75ef.
Impact: integrate upstream changes without rewriting task history.
Refs: task-sync
Why: The multi-instance acceptance test still created alice with a literal
password; backend U3 replaced local password-bearing creation with trusted
pending-account activation, so the first pin bump past U3 failed test-pg
with RECOVERY_CONTRACT_REPLACED. The seam was left pending by the U3 task
and this PR is the first to cross it.
Evidence: Full TestTwoInstancesOverSharedPG passes against a disposable
PostgreSQL 16 container (identity ensure -> bootstrap-admin -> pending
create with activation key -> key redemption -> grant-setup password ->
api key -> all cross-instance scenarios, 15s).
Impact: Test-only bootstrap rewrite (deployment-level identity ensured once
per pair, admin bootstrapped first, alice activated through the key
redemption and grant-setup password flow); no product code changes.

Impact: Updates only the task record; product behavior is unchanged.
Refs: feature/workbench-visual-redesign
Why: Long-history task tests could finish while Git background maintenance still rewrote a disposable clone, racing TemporaryDirectory cleanup and failing CI with a non-empty .git directory.
Evidence: The failing test passes 25/25 and all 344 governance tests pass locally.
Impact: Test fixture only; product, governance commands, and runtime behavior are unchanged.
Refs: Dev run 3237 jobs 4951 and 4965
Why: establish the authorized task workspace and its initial baseline.
Evidence: preserved precheck receipt in .task/feature-pptx-gate-reference-integrity.md; R0=cc40e10f3b4b6e41cb3a7aa0826e08dd3b8b7270.
Impact: task metadata only; the feature workspace starts at cc40e10f3b.
Refs: .task/feature-pptx-gate-reference-integrity.md
Why: branches merged into main had left their task cards open; backfill status and archive to prevent bookkeeping debt.
Evidence: feature-merge-queue-simple-policy.md(PR#554) — merges verified via git log --merges plus Gitea API squash lookup against origin/main.
Impact: .task/*.md moved to .task/archive/ with status backfilled; no code or submodule change.
Refs: task.sh close (card-autoclose-r1)
Why: include the current integration baseline before verification.
Evidence: fetched origin/main=803a73e5d6621f7b5aac792f81f0fd449bd00be2.

Impact: integrate upstream changes without rewriting task history.
Refs: task-sync
Why: The task record must point to the concrete Dev combination under review.
Evidence: Dev PR #556 targets current main and pins the merged Frontend and UI trees.
Impact: Updates only delivery metadata.
Refs: Dev #556
Why: branches merged into main had left their task cards open; backfill status and archive to prevent bookkeeping debt.
Evidence: fix-8788-message-permission.md(PR#553) — merges verified via git log --merges plus Gitea API squash lookup against origin/main.

Refs: feature/workbench-visual-redesign
Why: The Dev composition must consume the reviewed Frontend and UI changes from their authoritative main branches.
Evidence: Frontend and UI merge trees equal the locally verified candidate trees; UI exact-head CI passed.
Impact: Advances only the Frontend and UI pins and records the component merge results.
Refs: Frontend #87; UI #56
Why: The review candidate needs reproducible evidence bound to the exact Dev and Frontend commits.
Evidence: SELF receipts record 272 unit tests, the production build, and 16 browser scenarios on Dev 49ef24b.
Impact: Updates only the task record; product behavior is unchanged.
Refs: feature/workbench-visual-redesign
Why: Independent review found that the visual frame bypassed token and motion ownership and lacked dark/molv proof.
Evidence: UI 4cae1c4 passes 163 tests; Frontend 9b9f24b passes its design guard and 19 browser scenarios across all themes.
Impact: Pairs the new UI tokens with their Frontend consumer and documents the governing design rule.
Refs: Frontend #87; UI #56
Why: make PR #553 the durable task record before final CI and merge.
Evidence: the Gitea API reports PR #553 open and mergeable at head 3138221.
Impact: task metadata only; the next push creates the final PR candidate.
Refs: .task/fix-8788-message-permission.md; PR #553
Why: preserve the exact pre-PR baseline and complete local regression output.
Evidence: task-sync fixed origin/main at 3326192; make test passed all required local checks.
Impact: task evidence only; no source, component pin, or runtime configuration change.
Refs: .task/fix-8788-message-permission.md
Why: Keep final sync and conflict handling with the merge agent and avoid treating pre-freeze SELF checks as final evidence.
Evidence: Review found one stale anchor, one ownership ambiguity, and one evidence-scope overclaim; all three are corrected.
Impact: Documentation only; no runtime or platform behavior changes.
Refs: Agent-System-Dev #518
Why: include the current integration baseline before verification.
Evidence: fetched origin/main=33261925a10c4eee40d1b6175b3895e78a47ef02.

Impact: Updates only the task record; product behavior is unchanged.
Refs: feature/workbench-visual-redesign
Why: the user confirmed normal conversation behavior and authorized task closeout.
Evidence: user acceptance on 2026-10-15 supplements the preserved SELF runtime checks.
Impact: advances the task record to integration preparation; no production code change.
Refs: .task/fix-8788-message-permission.md
Why: The inverse create control needed its divider and hover state adapted to the new dark navigation surface.
Evidence: Frontend 8dc68fd passes the focused browser layout test and production build locally.
Impact: Advances the Frontend pin and records the final local candidate.
Refs: feature/workbench-visual-redesign
Why: The review candidate needs reproducible evidence bound to the exact Dev and Frontend commits.

Evidence: Frontend ddf3135 passes 272 unit tests, 16 browser scenarios across 320-1920px, and a production build locally.
Impact: Advances the Frontend pin to the visibly differentiated navigation, conversation, and work surfaces.
Refs: feature/workbench-visual-redesign
Why: Freeze the queue attempt and exact base before final validation.
Evidence: task-sync returned changed=0 on base 33261925; Issue #518 comment 6408 records the window.
Impact: Task record only; policy content is unchanged.
Refs: Agent-System-Dev #518
Why: bind the active runtime repair, rollback point, and review state to the synchronized task record.
Evidence: SELF runtime checks passed for message delivery, completed run, privacy, cleanup, credential revocation, and final database state.
Impact: task metadata only; user browser acceptance and task cleanup remain pending.
Refs: .task/fix-8788-message-permission.md
Why: Keep branches developing independently and serialize only final sync, validation, and agent merge without expanding into audits or new platform mechanisms.
Evidence: scope and link checks, git diff --check, and recursive worktree verification passed as SELF evidence in the task card.
Impact: Documentation only; existing task-sync, CI, branch protection, and agent merge behavior remain unchanged.
Refs: Agent-System-Dev #518
Why: The deployed workbench needs a clear visual hierarchy across context, conversation, and work without adding new product concepts.
Evidence: Frontend b04f4de passes 272 unit tests, 16 browser scenarios across 320-1920px, and a production build locally.
