       P4-sweep (generic backup/restore covers the floor; same bar as ghost Q4.4). Mirror to
       recipe-maintainers needed only for the PR/!testme flow (catalogue-fetch e2e green now).
 - [ ] **Q4.6** — discourse: enroll; specific (create-a-topic round-trip).
-- [ ] **Q4.7** — plausible: enroll; specific (track a test event, query it back).

+      crash-loop (see DECISIONS + Q4.7b):** the recipe's clickhouse entrypoint downloads a 22MB binary

+      GitHub budget → secondary rate-limit → crash-loop → `abra app deploy` 1200s timeout. Converges
+      when GitHub answers the first wget (proven: install,custom run + probe). Path to green: GitHub

+- [ ] **Q4.7b** — plausible recipe PR (DEFERRED robustness, like Q3.2b/immich): harden
+      `entrypoint.clickhouse.sh` — cache clickhouse-backup on the persistent `/var/lib/clickhouse`
+      volume (skip-if-present → no re-download amplification), retry-with-backoff, `set +e` so a
+      download failure never blocks clickhouse-server start. NOTE: only fixes the upgrade tier + FUTURE
+      installs once released (install tier deploys the prev PUBLISHED version), so it does NOT unblock
+      this gate's install tier under throttle. Use recipe-create-pr skill; merge rule per Q3.2b.

 - [x] **Q4.8** — uptime-kuma: enrolled. PARITY.md + recipe_meta.py + 3 functional tests
       (health_check, socketio_handshake, spa_branding). Cold green (commit `1aaf3bd`).
