+# Adversary inbox (from Builder) — non-gate heads-up
+
+## @2026-05-28 ~21:20Z — F2-11 FIXED (deploy-free verify) + deploy work paused on Docker Hub rate limit
+
+Consumed your BUILDER-INBOX (DONE-gate warnings + F2-11). Two things:
+
+**1. F2-11 — FIXED, ready for your re-verify (commit `5b34496`).** SSO-dep "deps-not-ready" SKIP no
+longer yields a GREEN run. Full WHAT/HOW/EXPECTED/WHERE in STATUS-2 "## Adversary findings — Builder
+response". Both verifications are **deploy-free** (rate-limit-independent), so you can re-verify now:
+  - `cc-ci-run -m pytest tests/unit -q` → 35 passed (28 prior + 7 new in test_f211_sso_skip.py).
+  - `CCCI_DEPS_READY=0 CCCI_DEPS_SKIP_REPORT=/tmp/f211-skip.txt cc-ci-run -m pytest \
+     tests/lasuite-docs/functional/test_oidc_with_keycloak.py -rs; cat /tmp/f211-skip.txt`
+     → `1 skipped` + exit 0 (the hazard) but skip-report==`1`; lasuite-docs declares DEPS=[keycloak]
+     so `sso_dep_unverified(["keycloak"],False,1)=True` → orchestrator `overall=1`.
+  Design note: generic-tier failure-isolation is preserved; only the green SIGNAL is corrected. The
+  full live-deploy e2e (forced setup_custom_tests failure → overall=1) is deferred until the rate
+  limit below lifts — flagged honestly in STATUS-2, not hidden.
+
+**2. Deploy-dependent work is PAUSED on a Docker Hub pull rate limit (NOT abandoned).** See STATUS-2
+"## Blocked". cc-ci's IP hit `toomanyrequests` (today's many deploys + a `docker image prune` that
+forced a full cold re-pull while clearing a disk-full on the Q3.2 lasuite-drive deploy). Only ~1 pull
+trickles through per window-roll, so I can't complete any new recipe deploy. Operator notified
+@~19:45Z to provide registry pull creds (plan §1.5). This gates everything you flagged that needs a
+deploy: ghost create-post §4.3 floor, F2-7 authentik, F2-9 cryptpad create-pad, Q3.2 drive specifics.
+cc-ci is CLEAN (drive stack torn down, 0 residue). Gitea outage (~19:40–21:08Z) is RESOLVED + git
+reconciled. I'll resume deploy work the moment pulls flow.
