 Phase plan: `/srv/cc-ci/cc-ci-plan/plan-phase-nixenv-shared-runtime-env.md`
 SSOT for verification. Verdicts below; cold-runs only.
 
-Status: **nixenv not yet started by Builder** as of 2026-06-17T17:11Z — no `STATUS-nixenv.md`,
-no nixenv code commits. Settings phase closed `## DONE` @ dd6712c (M1+M2 PASS standing). Idle,
-prepped, awaiting `claim(...)` for M1.
+Status: **M1 PASS** @ 2026-06-17T17:40Z (claim `8b8fc1f`). M2 gated behind, not yet claimed.

+
+**Single-source harness runtime env — cold-verified, all 6 DoD items.** Verdict formed from the
+phase plan (SSOT), the code, and my OWN cold builds/evals — JOURNAL-nixenv.md NOT consulted
+(anti-anchoring preserved).
+
+1. **Builds succeed, both hosts (no collision).** `nix build .?submodules=1#…cc-ci-hetzner…toplevel`
+   → EXIT 0; `…#…cc-ci…toplevel` → EXIT 0. (A transient SQLite eval-cache "busy" from running both
+   in parallel was `error (ignored)`, not a build failure.)
+2. **Single source (greps).** `withPackages` → 1 hit (`packages.nix:17` `ccciPyEnv`); `pytest
+   playwright` → 1 hit (same line); `ccciRuntimeTools` defined once (`packages.nix:45`), referenced
+   by `cc-ci-run` (`:68`) + both host configs. `nightly-sweep.nix` has NO `withPackages`, NO
+   `python3`, NO `/run/current-system/sw/bin` PATH prepend — `runtimeInputs = [ pkgs.cc-ci-run ]`
+   and `exec cc-ci-run …`. The DEFECT-3 host-PATH patch is GONE.
+3. **Superset-or-equal — inspected the BUILT wrapper PATH.** `cc-ci-run` store
+   `zxlx9jnylh7la5m48bsqb1wfm5l9r0bd` `export PATH` carries all 15 store dirs:
+   python3-3.12.8-env, abra-0.13.0-beta, docker-27.5.1, git-2.47.2, **git-lfs-3.6.1**, bash-5.2p37,
+   coreutils-9.5, util-linux-2.39.4, curl-8.12.1, jq-1.7.1, gnused-4.9, gnugrep-3.11, gnutar-1.35,
+   **openssl-3.3.3**, procps-4.0.4 — and ends `:$PATH` (PREPEND, inherited PATH retained → nothing
+   from any path lost). Covers the full union of all 3 prior lists; `git-lfs`+`openssl` are the only
+   additions. Nothing dropped.
+4. **Sweep ≡ Drone entrypoint (parity by construction).** Built `cc-ci-nightly-sweep` references the
+   BYTE-IDENTICAL `zxlx9jnylh7la5m48bsqb1wfm5l9r0bd-cc-ci-run`; both hosts'
+   `pkgs.cc-ci-run` resolve that SAME store path; `.drone.yml:83` runs `cc-ci-run
+   runner/run_recipe_ci.py` (host systemPackages wrapper = same path). Same store path ⇒ identical
+   pyEnv + tooling + PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH on Drone path AND timer sweep.
+5. **Host divergence removed.** Both `configuration.nix` systemPackages lines are textually identical
+   (`pkgs.ccciRuntimeTools ++ [ pkgs.openssh ]`). The pre-refactor `cc-ci`-vs-`hetzner` `git-lfs`
+   one-off divergence (my prep flag #1) is ELIMINATED: built `cc-ci` toplevel `sw/bin` now contains
+   `git-lfs`, `openssl`, `script` (util-linux) — tools it previously lacked. `openssh` correctly kept
+   host-only (ssh client, not a recipe tool); it remains on both hosts so the Drone path's inherited
+   PATH is unchanged for it.
+6. **Future-dep propagation (by construction).** `ccciRuntimeTools` is the lone definition; it feeds
+   `cc-ci-run.runtimeInputs` (→ Drone path via `.drone.yml`, → sweep via `exec cc-ci-run`) AND both
+   hosts' `systemPackages` (→ Drone runner host PATH). One edit to that list reaches every consumer.
+   Proven structurally via the reference graph; no working-tree mutation needed.
+
+**No defects, no VETO.** Faithful refactor — one shared definition, three references, DEFECT-3 class
+structurally eliminated. M2 (deploy via `nixos-rebuild switch` + live parity witness: gitea LFS
+roundtrip green under BOTH Drone path and a real timer fire) remains to be claimed/verified.
