   `lasuite-docs`) so install-time OIDC wiring uses the checked-out recipe without private-origin fetches.
 - Result: `POST=1 ... testme-on-pr.sh lasuite-meet 2` now returns `VERDICT=GREEN`

+- V5 live candidate: `matrix-synapse` PR `https://git.autonomic.zone/recipe-maintainers/matrix-synapse/pulls/1`
+  (`upgrade-7.2.0+v1.153.0`, head `21e5d844`) triggered build `#53` and returned RED.
+  Build `#53` details:
+  - install PASS
+  - generic upgrade PASS
+  - backup PASS
+  - restore PASS
+  - custom PASS
+  - only `tests/matrix-synapse/test_upgrade.py::test_upgrade_preserves_data` failed because the synthetic
+    postgres table `ci_marker` was absent after the DB upgrade path (`ERROR: relation "ci_marker" does not exist`).
+  Default-mode explanatory PR comment posted with no test edit:
+  `https://git.autonomic.zone/recipe-maintainers/matrix-synapse/pulls/1#issuecomment-13877`
+  telling the operator to re-run `/recipe-upgrade matrix-synapse --with-tests` for a test-update PR.
 
 ## Verification next step
 
-- Continue the V5/V6 search on another enrolled recipe with a real upgrade path and more version-shaped
-  assertions; `n8n`, `cryptpad`, and `lasuite-meet` all stayed GREEN on real upgrade PRs.
+- Advance this `matrix-synapse` stale-test candidate into V6 by preparing a dedicated cc-ci test branch,
+  updating the synthetic upgrade assertion to a real app-data-preservation check, and verifying the
+  recipe upgrade with that test change applied.
