Why: A real process must not keep the caller DSN in its command line, environment, log, history, or svc.env. Domain events written by -bootstrap have to survive a later pin deploy.
Evidence: SELF unittest of the two new LifecycleRealTests methods exited 0.
Impact: The scan uses a sentinel that is not a live database password. Login and rdm.ping stay NOT_RUN.

Why: A static dev deploy deleted the worktree before copying dist, so a mixed batch could not update the workbench. Missing manifests and a second instance on the same Postgres database must fail closed the same way on real artifacts.
Evidence: SELF unittest of the mixed batch, the three-entry manifest-loss case, and the PG cross-instance case exited 0. The PG case used a temporary cluster.
Impact: static dev deploys copy dist before recycling the worktree. Login and rdm.ping stay NOT_RUN.

Why: Stub journals do not prove that a real RDM binary rolls back after a switched fault, a failed build, or a candidate that exits on serve.
Evidence: SELF unittest of the three new LifecycleRealTests methods exited 0. Staging leaves the old pid and release in place; the next start clears that journal. Switched and an immediate serve exit both restore the previous real binary.
Impact: The crash candidate delegates version and identity to the real binary so the gate still sees a capable artifact. Login and rdm.ping stay NOT_RUN.

Why: The lifecycle gate only ran four realcombo cases. A legacy candidate and a missing or mismatched identity row must be refused before the old process stops, and the prev/sha pins must switch without changing the identity row.
Evidence: SELF unittest of the four LifecycleRealTests methods exited 0 against a private RDM clone. The pin moved to the identity merge and a later commit on the same backend pin, because the previous card-close SHAs build a binary with no ensure/verify.
Impact: make test still skips this class unless SVC_TEST_REAL, SVC_RDM_SRC_DIR and SVC_REAL_RDM_BIN are set. make test-lifecycle now runs the module. Login and rdm.ping stay NOT_RUN.
