+`make test` passes (26/26) and the State Hub API is reachable from this
+workstation (`/state/health` ok). `make stabilization-check` cannot complete
+from this session: it fails at the first gate reaching the public production
+host `https://hub.coulomb.social` (`/healthz`) with a self-signed-certificate
+error, so the daily gate cannot be evaluated here. The remaining closeout
+items in `docs/deployment/archive-closeout.md` (scaling the Core Hub rollback
+workload to zero via `rapp-core-hub`, routing the Forgejo admin credential
+through `warden route` to set `coulomb/core-hub` read-only, and recording
+operator approval) require production/Forgejo access and an explicit operator
+decision that this repo session does not have and should not take
+unilaterally. No unhandled Core Hub-retirement inbox message was found
+blocking this task specifically. Moved this workplan and `T05` to
+`blocked`/`wait` pending operator action on the closeout checklist; no other
+loose ends were found in this repo's other workplans (all are `finished`).

 ## Acceptance
 
 - [x] Absorption inventory complete
