+2026-07-30 follow-up: both former gaps are implemented. The activity-core
+ExternalSecret boundary published the portal and provisioner images to
+`forgejo.coulomb.social` without exposing the package credential. Anonymous
+digest inspection passed, and both live Deployments now pull immutable public
+digests. The prior verified portal image is also published by digest;

+`user-engine-pg-user_engine-20260729T220653Z.dump.age` to independent
+Nextcloud custody. The plaintext dump was removed immediately and only
+non-secret sizes and the artifact name were recorded. The local isolated
+restore drill already proves the same logical dump/restore path.

+The final T05 custody residual is narrower: `user-engine-runtime/proxy-secret`
+and `identity-provisioner-client/token` remain bootstrap Kubernetes Secrets.
+They must move to an OpenBao-owned path plus ExternalSecret and a rotation
+procedure. Creating that new write/custody lane requires the ops-mason
+executive approval gate; registry and backup work do not remain open.
