Why: retain the approved status changes and current documentation while adopting the already approved manual delivery window after real platform validation. Evidence: original startup, conflict resolution, combination test and writer inventory receipts are preserved in the task card; independent Doc89 and platform replay reports are referenced. Final candidate CI and review remain required. Impact: publish the delivered Documents merge, manual trial policy and truthful capability state; keep all workflow triggers/checks and original task baseline unchanged.
