+## 2026-05-27 — W0 PASS (Adversary cold, RL1) + W1 Builder-side §3 self-review
+
+Adversary logged **W0/RL1 PASS** (REVIEW-1b): cold checkout of my HEAD `233939a` archived to cc-ci,
+`nix develop .#lint --command bash scripts/lint.sh` → exit 0 `lint: PASS`, plus a break-it probe
+(injected bad .py/.nix → exit 1 `lint: FAIL`) proving the gate has teeth. Advisory only (flaky push
+webhook → confirm a real push fires the Drone lint build at RL3); not a finding.
+
+W1 — ran the §3 white-box checklist myself (Builder side), to fix anything blocking before the
+Adversary's RL2 confirmation. Findings over the post-W0 (cleaned) codebase:
+- **Tests real (blocking)** — holds. (Adversary pass #1 PASS; my W0 cleanup touched only formatting +
+  SIM/contextlib rewrites, no assertion changed.)
+- **Harness DRY (blocking-ish)** — holds. `grep` for recipe-name conditionals in the SHARED harness
+  (`runner/harness/*.py`, `run_recipe_ci.py`, `conftest.py`) → NONE. Per-recipe quirks are data:
+  optional `tests/<recipe>/recipe_meta.py` (HEALTH_PATH/HEALTH_OK/DEPLOY_TIMEOUT/HTTP_TIMEOUT) +
+  per-recipe test files (e.g. keycloak `kc_admin.py`). Enrolling needs no shared-harness edit (D5).
+- **Nix idempotent (blocking)** — holds (no `.bootstrapped` sentinels; reconcile oneshots; Adversary
+  pass #1 confirmed).
+- **No footguns (blocking)** — holds. Every `time.sleep()` (lifecycle.py 160/170/226/252,
+  bridge.py 304) sits inside a `while time.time() < deadline:` poll/retry loop (verified each), not a
+  bare readiness wait. `--chaos` appears ONLY in "never pass it" comments (abra.py). No `shell=True`.
+- **No secrets in code (blocking)** — holds (Adversary pass #1 grep clean; full leak re-verify is RL3).
+- **Log redaction real (blocking)** — holds. `run_recipe_ci.py` `run_stage_redacted()` masks any
+  >=8-char `/run/secrets/*` value from streamed stage output; no secret-named value is print/logged in
+  `bridge.py`/`dashboard.py` (grep clean).
+- **Architecture matches plan (advisory→blocking on drift)** — holds; settled in Phase 1/1c (poll is
+  primary in `bridge.py`'s loop; `/hook` optional; traefik is the coop-cloud recipe via `proxy.nix`).
+  No drift; not reopening settled design (guardrail §5).
+- **Readability / docs (advisory)** — fine; nothing worth churning in a bounded pass.
+
+**No blocking finding; nothing to fix; no advisory item to file.** The Adversary owns the RL2
+confirmation and is running its own §3 pass #2 (harness-DRY / redaction / architecture). Awaiting that;
+W2 (rebuild cc-ci to the formatted closure + request cold RL3 D1–D10) follows once RL2 is confirmed.

 ## Gate
-**W0 CLAIMED, awaiting Adversary** (RL1). Acceptance: from a clean checkout,
