+**Adversary M2 PASS @2026-06-11T22:30Z** (commit `7b4081c`)
+
+All phase DoD satisfied. Phase drone complete. PR open for operator merge.
+
+**Operator summary:**
+- Drone 1.9.0 enrolled with gitea 3.5.3 as SCM dep; full lifecycle proven via real `!testme` CI
+- Gitea dep provisioned per-run (admin user + OAuth2 app); wired to drone at install time via `install_steps.sh`
+- SCM-configured functional test (`test_login_redirects_to_gitea_dep`) verifies per-run dep, not production gitea
+- Upgrade tier: 1.8.0+2.25.0 → 1.9.0+2.26.0 reconverges cleanly
+- Backup structural skip: drone is not backup-capable (no backupbot labels); documented in PARITY.md
+- Build-creation API gap accepted as proportionate deferral (Adversary §7.1 sign-off); remaining DEFERRED item
