+## 2026-06-10 P5 — customization manifest (branch 68954be)
+
+(Resumed after a usage-limit pause mid-P5; working tree carried the in-flight manifest.py.)
+New runner/harness/manifest.py: build() collects {meta_non_default, hooks, overlays, custom_tests,
+env_overrides} via the SAME discovery/meta functions the run uses (so the manifest can never
+disagree with what actually executes — incl. the HC2 _gated() repo-local gate), render() prints
+the block. Orchestrator builds+prints right after meta load / repo-local snapshot, BEFORE the
+quick-lane branch (both lanes get the block); the dict rides into build_results(customization=...)
+verbatim. run_quick writes no results.json, so the single build_results call site covers all.
+Hooks render as "<hook>", tuples as lists (JSON-clean); ops.py pre-ops listed by cheap source
+scan (same approach as discovery._module_defines — no import at manifest time).
+
+Lint flagged: C408 dict() literal, import-block order (manifest after deps), ruff-format on the
+new test file — all fixed. Verified on cc-ci (rsync of working tree): cc-ci-run -m pytest
+tests/unit -q -> 191 passed; nix develop .#lint --command scripts/lint.sh -> lint: PASS.
+
+Next: P6 docs, then M1 prep (tests/concurrency proof run + 21-recipe baseline matrix).
