Verified feature checkpoint advanced by fast-forward from b58b6610 to exact9fa0af01f7d581b2cfc2fe3df22a1ab1964953c5. Destination exact-tip Amadan CI SUCCESS: gate, cross and minio-contract. Source review254 covers only the read-only sponsored-candidate inventory prerequisite.
Actual Opus code and bounded composition ACCEPT are frozen at the reviewed two-file hashes. Completed Oct7 local evidence was consumed and reverified, not rerun: 2017 top-level entries, 693 nested cases, five fuzz seeds, all8 ext4/FULL partitions exit0; independent rebuild matched binary115740cc byte-for-byte. Build/vet/gofmt/launchctx/66 nonconsole packages/all5 cross targets passed. Acceptance uses Paul's explicit same-tip CI plus complete disk-backed FULL local host exception. Original failed monolithic results and isolation incident remain preserved; no crash/powerloss claim.
The helper remains unmounted and creates no enrollment/grant/authority records. All existing Carloku accounts being sponsored for now is settled policy; no actual cohort or grants have been applied. The next bounded work is a concrete single inert enrollment transaction/immutable record design, with actual Opus review before code. CPU/resource/monthly/exhaustion/storage/rates and credential/provider/restore/rollout holds remain. LIVE OFF; no main merge, deployment or provider actions. Parent pricing/demo ownership unchanged.
Durable checkpoint: notes/backend-integration-9fa0af01-checkpoint-20261009.json under the paid-launch runroot. SAME lead eb391b1c-52d7-47ce-9a0d-687444bf1e42; Oct7 capacity error preserved, Oct9 resume explicitly authorized, no replacement or automatic retry.
