+# Design
+
+## Decisions
+
+Separate pre-merge CI/contract verification from post-merge production evidence.
+The owner explicitly approved this correction to the lifecycle on 2026-10-10.
+Rejected: checking rollout tasks before deployment, bypassing merge gates, or
+removing verification without a named successor that owns it.
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+Application changes, new registry publishing, secret changes and CI overrides.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+A deploy or manifest notification may fail after code has landed. Record the
+actual failure here, retain the last good snapshot, and do not mark complete
+until the public site proves both deployment and current metadata.

+# Proposal
+
+## Why
+
+The producer merge gate requires every implementation task complete before merge,
+but production verification can only occur after merge and version publication.
+The owner approved separate post-merge tracking on 2026-10-10, so release proof
+is recorded here rather than claimed prematurely on the implementation change.
+
+## What Changes
+
+Record homepage PRs, deploy commits, producer PR and version release, manifest
+commit, live CLI version/npm URL, and Markdown rendering after authorized rollout.
+No application code, protocol, registry authentication or deployment mechanism changes.
+
+## Capabilities
+
+### New Capabilities
+
+None.
+
+### Modified Capabilities
+
+None. This is operational verification paperwork; `skip_specs: true` applies.
+
+## Impact
+
+This change's tasks and rollout evidence. Keep it open until observed results
+are recorded. Do not bypass CI, publish npm implicitly, or claim success from
+an HTTP 200 without confirming the deployed revision and rendered contents.

+# Tasks
+
+- [x] 1.1 Record merged Homepage CLI-visibility PR and successful Deploy run,
+  with `/healthz` reporting its deployed revision.
+  Verified 2026-10-10: Homepage PR #139, Checks run 38081166858 passed;
+  Deploy 38081270215 passed. Public `/healthz` reported
+  `4cab8359ed8128da184ad8397e1f9114e248da01`.
+- [x] 1.2 Record merged Homepage Markdown PR and successful Deploy run, with
+  live Current releases notes showing rendered Markdown safely.
+  Verified 2026-10-10: Homepage PR #140; conflict-resolved head
+  `a0d499ed2091712bf66fcd1484a3395c71e48402` passed Checks 38081595995.
+  Deploy 38082132852 passed; public `/healthz` reports
+  `2c6089189ee6e75f267f3346092688073c32514f`. Live release cards contain
+  `div.os-release-note`, `strong` and `code` elements, not literal Markdown.
+- [x] 1.3 Record producer PR checks and merge, followed by the changesets
+  version PR checks/merge and successful release-manifest job.
+  Verified 2026-10-10: producer #878 passed Quality 38082963354 and merged as
+  765dc994d1ffce8d85c86c067a159735906bb7b7. Version PR #880 passed approved
+  Quality 38083527960 and merged as 4589fa9e47ceb834edea41aec269dd84137c8712.
+  Main run 38083657379 and manifest job 114305640839 passed.
+- [x] 1.4 Verify published `releases.json` contains public `ci-cli` and its npm
+  link; record manifest branch commit, source commit and CLI version.
+  Verified immutable manifest 7b05a77b2f1f237d4100380021c6c809695401cd:
+  source 4589fa9e47ceb834edea41aec269dd84137c8712, CLI 0.30.0, public true,
+  npm URL `https://www.npmjs.com/package/@openspec-ui/cli`.
+- [x] 1.5 Verify `https://openspec-ui.dev` displays that CLI version in both
+  sections and one correct npm button; record live browser/HTTP evidence.
+  Verified 2026-10-10 by curl of the public homepage: Current versions contains
+  CLI 0.30.0; Current releases contains CLI / Version 0.30.0 and one npm button
+  targeting the URL above. Live release-note HTML contains strong/code markup.
+- [x] 1.6 Record final PR/run links, outstanding risks and whether any workflow
+  failed. Archive only through the repository's normal sweep after verification.
+  Homepage PRs #139/#140 and Deploy runs 38081270215/38082132852 succeeded.
+  Producer #878 and version #880 succeeded after task evidence and workflow
+  approval. Initial local Git Bash/timeout/WSL DNS failures were not bypassed;
+  Linux CI supplied passing evidence. Archive Homepage #141 initially failed
+  two index tests (551 passed); its two stale links were fixed in commit
+  07b28e0336ccb481c7c84170f151ab58490f31a8 and rerun 38083862277 is tracked
+  separately. No npm registry publication was requested or performed; the site
+  reports repository versions, not a promise that npm holds the displayed version.
