Release discovery handoff

Branch planning/release-readiness-discovery, baseline 5cb903b989742b7a96cb22ddf4c0e24993b18980; documentation only. Stage 1 IN_PROGRESS, not complete. Full authoritative release prompt read. No final GO/NO-GO completion report or deployable release claimed.

Completed: initial source inventory, historical blocker reconciliation, preliminary 18-gate matrix and five fresh offline MariaDB runner guard tests. Preserved scoped PDF acceptance and separate model/provider/human/hosted/production gates.

Next authorised work: complete endpoint and environment census, map each failure boundary to existing test/runbook owners, and inspect remaining backup/restore/deployment implementation without executing it. Then prepare a concrete isolated-rehearsal plan. Final baseline/qualification depends on accepted roadmap source; do not run thousands of unchanged tests to fill this report.

No production credentials/environment files were opened; no infrastructure, models, main branch or autonomous orchestrator changed. The earlier delegated researcher was interrupted by a service limit; parent supplied this partial checkpoint. No background agent remains active.
