 **Open tasks:**
-- ! Prepare and approve the deployment-owned registration operation  `52f03e39`
-  *(wait: Custody boundary 632a8893 is approved. Registration merge and rollout still need an exact reviewed revision and a separate live go. Opening caafe4be does not deploy.)*
 - ! Verify actual issuance and publish non-secret owner receipt  `40b80bcd`
   *(wait: Live issuance proof waits on the registration operation (T03).)*
