+# SBOM-WP-0002-T07 retirement decision
+
+Date: 2026-08-22
+
+Decision authority: repository owner, in-session direction: “retire it after
+you added an entry to hall-of-helix.”
+
+## Decision
+
+SBOM-WP-0002 and the extraction/cutover session are retired. SBOM Nexus remains
+the production authority. State Hub remains a compatibility façade with its
+read and write flags pointing to Nexus; Repo Manager remains a deprecated Nexus
+client; Activity Core remains the bounded scheduler.
+
+The scheduled Monday observation was explicitly waived by the retirement
+direction. It is not represented as completed evidence. Evidence that does
+exist is retained:
+
+- two full production catch-up fires;
+- three distinct repositories processed per fire;
+- six terminal `no-checkout` outcomes;
+- zero tasks spawned by either fire;
+- queue fairness advanced from 101 to 98 never-attempted repositories;
+- `daily-sbom-catchup` enabled and active;
+- `weekly-sbom-staleness` disabled and paused;
+- clean Activity Core verification: 409 passed, 1 conditional skip.
+
+## Retention
+
+Retain State Hub's 22 historical SBOM snapshots and the compatibility façade as
+read-only rollback evidence. No historical rows, snapshots, migrations,
+feature flags, or façade code are deleted by this decision. New authoritative
+SBOM reads and writes continue through Nexus.
+
+The remaining operational limitation is also retained honestly: the deployed
+Nexus pod cannot access workstation host checkout paths, so bounded automation
+records `no-checkout` until a controlled scan-input topology is designed. That
+future capability does not reopen this extraction workplan.
+
+## Hall record
+
+The completed session is recorded in Hall of Helix commit `9eb42a1`:

 Capture two successful daily fires and a zero-flood Monday window. Record the
 retention decision, then retire State Hub SBOM ownership after the stabilization
 window without deleting historical data implicitly.
+
+Retired by explicit owner direction on 2026-08-22 after the Hall of Helix entry
+was published. The already-proven conditions are recorded exactly: two bounded
+production fires, six distinct terminal outcomes, zero spawned tasks, an active
+daily schedule, and the legacy weekly schedule disabled and paused. The owner
+waived waiting for the next Monday observation; this record does not claim that
+window occurred.
+
+Retention decision: keep State Hub's 22 historical snapshots and compatibility
+surface read-only as rollback evidence. New reads and writes remain owned by
+SBOM Nexus. Do not delete the retained rows, remove rollback flags, or tear out
+the façade as part of this retirement. See
+`docs/evidence/SBOM-WP-0002-T07-retirement-2026-08-22.md`.
