+## Allow admitted receive scanning to finish before timing out pushes

+
+CUST-WP-0080 found a normal source push accepted remotely after this client's
+30-second deadline. The installed forge scanner has a 90-second total budget.
+Raise only the push deadline to 120 seconds and label any timeout as an
+unverified remote outcome; never infer rejection, retry automatically or allow
+subsequent projection writes from that timeout. Repo Manager's 60-second push
+path receives the same bounded fix under RMGR-WP-0021-T03.
+
+Acceptance: ordinary acceptance/refusal and push-seal regressions, delayed real
+receive hooks exceeding both old client budgets, a fixed value-free timeout
+message with no retry, installed CLI source verification and owner projection.
+Evidence is retained in Custodian's October 13 security evidence directory.
+
+2026-10-13: 34 State Hub push-seal/deadline tests and 36 Repo Manager
+deadline/historical/fast-projection tests pass. Both actual source helpers accept
+a real 65-second receive hook, then preserve rejection and the unchanged remote
+ref. The installed State Hub CLI module matches the reviewed source hash and
+uses 120 seconds; Repo Manager imports its editable source. No residual remains
+from this bounded compatibility fix. Broader scanner coverage stays in existing
+CUST-WP-0080 and RMGR-WP-0021, not in this daily fix.
