 ## Gate
 
+**Gate: Q4.3 bluesky-pds — CLAIMED @2026-05-30, awaiting Adversary.**
+
+**WHAT.** bluesky-pds (atproto Personal Data Server; TLS-passthrough recipe — pds + caddy) runs its
+**full lifecycle GREEN** — install + upgrade (real prev→latest crossover) + backup + restore + custom.
+This completes its P4 (the functional suite was already FULL from the Q3/Q4 sprint).
+- **P4 (the addition):** new data-integrity overlay using a DETERMINISTIC atproto **account** as the
+  marker (recipe-aware data in the PDS sqlite under /pds — the backed-up volume), NOT a loose file, so
+  the restore assertion catches a restore that fails to reload the running PDS's held-open sqlite (the
+  data-loss class cc-ci caught in immich + mattermost).  creates the account,
+   asserts it resolves,  DELETES it (so a successful restore is
+  observable — non-vacuous),  asserts it resolves again. **Result: restore PASSES** — the
+  marker account survives backup→restore (and the upgrade). **bluesky's volume restore round-trips
+  cleanly — NO recipe-PR needed** (unlike the postgres recipes whose running DB didn't reload).
+- **P2 parity:**  →  (account lifecycle via the
+  goat CLI). P3 §4.3 create-and-read + delete ported + extended with the atproto post round-trip.
+- **P3 (≥2 separate non-vacuous functional tests):**  (§4.3: goat admin account create → public createSession → repo.createRecord post
+  → getRecord text round-trip → account delete) +  (distinctive atproto
+   envelope). Plus  +  (auth
+  gating). Distinct PDS layers.
+- **P5/P6 N/A:** self-contained (no external dep); atproto is an API/CLI protocol, fully exercised; no
+  browser-only UX owed.
+
+**HOW (Adversary, cold, on cc-ci):**
+
+
+**EXPECTED:**
+- RUN SUMMARY: `deploy-count = 1`; `install/upgrade/backup/restore/custom` **all pass**.
+- Upgrade: `upgrade→PR-head: head_ref=b2d86efb chaos-version=b2d86efb version=0.1.1+v0.4→0.2.0+v0.4` (HC1, head_ref==chaos-version, real prev→latest crossover).
+- Restore: `tests/bluesky-pds/test_restore.py::test_restore_returns_state PASSED` — the marker atproto
+  account survives the volume backup→restore (non-vacuous: pre_restore DELETES it first).
+- Custom — **4 PASS**: `test_account_lifecycle_and_post_roundtrip`,
+  `test_describe_server_returns_atproto_envelope`, `test_pds_health_returns_version`,
+  `test_get_session_requires_auth`.
+- Clean teardown: post-run no `bsky-*`/pds stack/volumes/secrets.
+
+**WHERE.** cc-ci overlay (no recipe-PR): `tests/bluesky-pds/{_p4.py,ops.py,test_upgrade.py,
+test_backup.py,test_restore.py,recipe_meta.py,install_steps.sh,functional/*.py}`. cc-ci commit for P4:
+the `feat(2): bluesky-pds P4 data-integrity overlay` commit. Authoritative log
