+# RMGR-WP-0005 Repo Manager pilot evidence
+
+**Observed at:** `2026-08-22T07:59:49Z`  
+**Fleet namespace:** `helixforge`  
+**Scope:** `repo-manager` / `RMGR-WP-0005` only
+
+## Outcome
+
+The first repository cutover completed without rollback. The workstation
+projection was migrated in place from minted UUIDs to deterministic UUIDv5
+identifiers. The production registrar had no Repo Manager projection, so it was
+upgraded and rebuilt from the same authoritative file identifiers. Both now
+resolve `RMGR-WP-0005` as
+`6dcf854e-9229-569d-90f0-2d9df235a61d`.
+
+The sealed fleet plan remains unchanged and no other repository was migrated.
+
+## Recovery points
+
+| Projection | Backup | SHA-256 | Size |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Workstation | `/tmp/state-hub-rmgr-wp-0005-pilot-preapply.dump` | `8c5a4ef4cddef2d3a1af0303eeccbb6206613fa1a5fe932364262b3623f77950` | 4.4 MiB |
+| Production registrar | `/tmp/state-hub-registrar-rmgr-wp-0005-preapply.dump` | `01753744bc844b154900ead916f122946c5414e77f888c3e18016cae6d3d8929` | 4.6 MiB |

+Both are PostgreSQL custom-format archives with readable restore catalogs.
+The production deployment can also return to Helm revision 9 / image
+`main-d8808bf`. Recovery must stop writes first and restore into an isolated or
+replacement database before endpoint cutover; no destructive in-place restore
+was attempted.

+## Workstation projection migration
+
+- Alembic advanced to `b8d4f0a2c6e1`; 20/20 foreign keys into workplan/task
+  identities use `ON UPDATE CASCADE`.
+- The repository-atomic database executor applied six replacements and no
+  assignments. Six durable aliases have status `applied`.
+- All old rows are absent and all new rows are present.
+- Cascades preserved 12 task-to-workplan links, 12 workplan progress links, one
+  decision link, and three task progress links.
+- The guarded file executor applied the same six replacements from sealed plan
+  `5a2e0d1d4e6e121780a0e66a83e07a718f3050e8f1c6b94328b86b92de290a0c`.
+- File migration commit: `5de754a`; final consistency commit: `40ad9e9`.
+- The rebuilt local Repo Manager cache is fresh with 73 records.
+
+## Production registrar deployment and rebuild
+
+- Helm dry-run selected `main-697dd49` and rendered no host path, operator-home,
+  SSH, or sweep environment entries.
+- Helm revision 10 deployed atomically; the live release reports
+  `sweep.enabled: false`, no volumes or mounts, and `/state/health` returns 200
+  with a connected database.
+- Alembic advanced from `f0a1b2c3d4e5` to `b8d4f0a2c6e1`; 20/20 relevant
+  foreign keys cascade updates and the alias table exists.
+- The logical `repo-manager` repository was absent and was registered as
+  `a9d105c6-10fa-4cf9-8bc1-e248476698d3` under topic
+  `cee7bedf-2b48-46ef-8601-006474f2ad7a`.
+- Governed projection repair created deterministic `RMGR-WP-0005` and 12 tasks.
+  The 12 file task UUIDs and 12 production task UUIDs are byte-for-byte equal.
+- The new workplan lookup returns 200; old minted UUID
+  `7ddb5421-d960-4a3c-94b1-40b6c96abfab` returns 404.
+- A second read-only consistency pass reports no issue for `RMGR-WP-0005`.
+  Eight legacy/random-ID Repo Manager workplans remain explicit non-fixable
+  stale references and were not ingested.
+- Production aliases remain empty, as expected for rebuilding an absent
+  projection rather than rewriting an existing primary key.
+
+The first classified repository-create request returned 500 because the
+contained image does not package `repo-classification.allowed.yaml` and has no
+Custodian host mount. No row was created. The minimal logical record then
+created successfully. Packaging classification canon is follow-up work; host
+mount containment was not weakened.
+
+The scoped registrar child returned the broader consistency exit code 1 because
+of the eight intentionally untouched legacy references. It nevertheless created
+and returned the exact target UUID and tasks. Repo Manager commit `e656f7f`
+adds `--repair-workplan` and verifies that exact projection before accepting this
+bounded residual status. In the managed Codex sandbox the child could not create
+`.git/index.lock` for its generated brief; the complete local projection restored
+the brief and pushed consistency commit `4b5e48f`. No authoritative identifier
+file changed during registrar rebuild.
+
+## Published implementation
+
+- State Hub schema/executor: `cb1b028`
+- State Hub deterministic rebuild API/consistency: `697dd49`
+- State Hub declared production state and pilot record: `52a7d6b`
+- Repo Manager sealed plan: `e52ce3e`
+- Repo Manager file migration: `5de754a`
+- Repo Manager projection-repair wrapper: `e656f7f`

+## Gate after the pilot
+
+This evidence authorizes no fleet-wide mutation. Before a wider cutover, select
+the next repository batch, refresh preflight/source fingerprints, retain a
+per-database restore point, and preserve the same database-first/file-second
+rollback boundary. The scoped credential/sweep replacement in
+`RMGR-WP-0005-T12` remains separate and blocked; production sweeping stays off.
