+# Current origin ownership — 2026-10-04
+
+The founder approved INFD-WP-0007 lifecycle cutover. Runtime Deployment, Service,
+PVC, config and workload routes are owned by informed-decision deploy/lifecycle
+through a pinned manual ArgoCD application. This repository retains Namespace,
+Ingress, HTTPS redirect and certificate. The obsolete placeholder deployment
+definition is removed so reapplying the origin cannot revert the service.
+
+Use railiance01 (92.205.62.239), not the retired config-hosteurope tunnel. Runtime
+recovery follows informed-decision/deploy/lifecycle/README.md; never reintroduce
+the placeholder or downgrade a schema-5 database with an older image. Existing
+Ingress remains one Prefix route to informed-decision:80.
+
+The record below is founding origin history, not the current recovery procedure.

-# Origin holder for decisions.coulomb.social.
-#
-# `informed-decision` (INFD-WP-0001-T07) must publish an exact OIDC redirect URI
-# to key-cape: https://decisions.coulomb.social/auth/callback. Redirect URIs match
-# byte-exactly at /authorize, so the origin has to be real before the registration
-# is submitted — a host that resolves but does not answer over TLS fails the same
-# way a wrong hostname does, only later and less legibly.
-#
-# The approver UI itself does not exist yet (INFD-WP-0001-T08, the walking
-# skeleton, is still gated on approval-engine and on intake INFD-IN-0003). This
-# placeholder exists solely so the host answers and cert-manager can issue.
-# When the real surface lands it replaces this Deployment/Service behind the same
-# Service name, and this file shrinks to the Namespace.
+# Runtime is owned by informed-decision deploy/lifecycle under its manual ArgoCD app.
+# This origin owner retains only namespace, ingress, redirect and certificate.
