+User approved the additional Coulomb-only recovery custody in decision
+27bbc1ac-e275-42be-ba34-6cf16eae4e78. Consumer review packet:

+17d0eb67f397e3d1f5b9b63880df5054aa263c5a. Platform-root is the proposed
+attended recovery/failure owner; establish a dedicated Coulomb age identity,
+separate read-only recovery caller and protected off-node/workstation kit/last
+recovered point outside rolling expiry. Reconcile lifecycle/headroom and native
+positive/negative proof before acceptance. The existing publisher/executor and
+03:15 UTC schedule approvals persist. No sibling private identity/reader reuse,
+retained-object deletion, production restore or premature timer activation.
+
+Current execution preflight: no SCW operator environment or standard local
+operator config and no live local browser-debug session. Warden route
+scaleway-bootstrap remains draft/unresolvable and explicitly has no owner-fronted
+execution; do not fetch its broad bootstrap key or substitute publisher/sibling
+credentials. Existing email recovery proves the isolated-project mechanism, not
+a grant for Coulomb. Resource-specific grants and independent kit custody still
+need native execution through an attended platform operator front door. Approval
+is recorded; implementation/verification remain T02/T03/T04.
