- ops.py + test_{upgrade,backup,restore}.py: seed ci_marker into the MySQL `ghost` DB (db service)
via the mysql CLI; rides the recipe's mysqldump --tab backup. recipe is MySQL not sqlite (stale
comment fixed). Expect restore RED -> recipe-PR (no backupbot.restore hook; immich/mattermost class).
- functional/_ghost.py: cookie-aware Ghost Admin API client (stdlib http.cookiejar; Origin CSRF hdr).
- functional/test_post_roundtrip.py: §4.3 create published post + read back (unique marker, non-vacuous);
closes the DEFERRED ghost create-post item.
- PARITY.md + recipe_meta.py updated. Authored node-free; full-lifecycle run next, NOT yet claimed.
