+### Factory sender deployment precondition — 2026-09-11
+
+Native metadata still reports 1/1 Ready on image `c2fe39a0185b...`. The exact
+image and a synthetic SenderRegistry probe in the native pod confirm that it
+has no `evidence_kind` support. Current source supports the contract. The
+source-complete T03 implementation has not reached this deployment; readiness
+alone cannot admit a load-bearing sender. T09/T11 retain the compatible image
+release, current scope/peer manifests and actual ingestion/retrieval acceptance.
+
+Platform RPF-WP-0035-T08 now prepares the separate sender custody records
+CCR-2026-0021 (approval-engine) and CCR-2026-0022 (informed-decision), with
+exact-path ESO projections and CAS-preserving first provision/resume. Its
+receiver check refuses the current image before credential access. Seventeen
+new tests, including eleven local OpenBao cases, and 53 existing credential-change
+tests pass. Named owner reviews, compatible receiver release and target namespace
+readiness remain prerequisites. No native sender credential or deployment changed.
+See railiance-platform/docs/credential-lane-designs/factory-audit-senders-review.md
+and its dated preparation evidence. Existing sender/source scopes are preserved.
