+  push build green: drone build **326 success** on 01e6d49 (API-verified).
+- M2.2 canary suite: running on cc-ci from a FRESH clone of merged main at /root/m2-sweep
+  (`cc-ci-run -m pytest tests/regression -m canary -v`, log /root/m2-canary.log). First canary
+  good-simple PASSED; 7 total expected.
+- M2.3 per-recipe sweep: driver staged at /root/m2-driver.sh on cc-ci (max 2 concurrent, all 21
+  dirs, REF = mirror default-branch heads recorded in the driver); launches after canaries
+  complete. Logs: /root/m2-logs/<recipe>.log, results under /var/lib/cc-ci-runs/.
