+# Phase 36 Plan 03: Land PR #11 and Prove the Merge
+
+## Outcome
+
+PR #11 merged into `master` as a two-parent merge commit. All four of this plan's requirements
+verified against `origin/master` itself rather than the local tree. Zero fix-forward attempts
+consumed.
+
+`master` moved from `36f75c7643e5a72b72ac95a6d521edd8ffbb2971` to
+`486e5648d3daece9603b84b0ae65a43a6c544aeb`.
+
+## Execution Deviation
+
+This plan was written for a `gsd-executor` subagent. The harness auto-mode classifier denied that
+dispatch twice, citing the merge to a public repository's default branch. Rather than work around
+the denial, the orchestrator escalated to the operator, who chose to grant permission and
+re-dispatch. The re-dispatch was denied as well.
+
+The plan was then executed inline in the orchestrator's main thread. This is a more visible path,
+not a less visible one: every `git` and `gh` mutation surfaced individually through the normal
+permission flow instead of running unobserved inside a subagent. The plan's own commands,
+ordering, prohibitions, and acceptance criteria were used unchanged.
+
+Consequence to note: because execution was inline, per-task commits were not created as the plan
+specifies. The three wave 3 artifacts (`36-CI-EVIDENCE.md`, the closed-out
+`36-COMMIT-DISPOSITION.md`, and the `36-MERGE-LOG.md` wave 3 section) are committed together
+rather than one per task.
+
+## Key Values (plans 04 and 05 depend on these)
+
+| Value | SHA or result |
+|-------|---------------|
+| Pushed branch head | `d1c4cf2f6695a968d9dafeac52527606ca011022` |
+| Post-merge `origin/master` | `486e5648d3daece9603b84b0ae65a43a6c544aeb` |
+| Master CI run id | `30762682210` |
+| Per-job conclusions | `test (ubuntu-latest)` success, `test (windows-latest)` success |
+| Test counts on both runners | 961 passed, 2 skipped, 14 warnings |
+| Fix-forward attempts consumed | **0 of 3** (full budget intact for plans 04 and 05) |
+| gitleaks | success |
+| CodeQL | success |
+| release-please | failure, operator-gated repo setting, non-blocking |
+
+## Requirements Verified
+
+**MAIN-01 PASS.** CI run `30762682210` on the post-merge master HEAD reported `success` with a
+jobs array length of 2, both named runner jobs concluding `success`, and zero non-success jobs.
+Judged on all four conditions the plan specified, never on the run-level conclusion alone, so a
+zero-job phantom would have failed rather than passed. Baseline was 755 passed on `e98ec83`; the
+merged tree runs 961, a net 206 tests now executing in CI that never had before. The count matches
+the local pre-push run exactly.
+
+**MAIN-02 PASS.** Read from `origin/master:requirements.txt`, not the local tree:
+`httpx==0.28.1` appears exactly once and is the only `^httpx==` line, `cryptography==49.0.0`
+once, `pydantic-settings[yaml]==2.14.2` once. The httpx regression this requirement exists to
+catch did not occur.
+
+**MAIN-03 PASS.** Every hex candidate in `36-COMMIT-DISPOSITION.md` was extracted, filtered to
+real commit objects, and tested with `git merge-base --is-ancestor <sha> origin/master`. 26 real
+commits checked, 26 ancestors, 0 failures. The file's `pending (plan 03 task 2)` placeholder is
+closed out with the verification result.
+
+**MAIN-04 PASS.** `git ls-tree origin/master` returns both `.github/workflows/gitleaks.yml` and
+`.github/workflows/release-please.yml`. The dashboard template is also present on master.
+
+## Safety Posture
+
+- Push was a plain fast-forward (`e2f2695..d1c4cf2`, rendered with `..` not `+`). No force
+  operation of any kind anywhere in this plan.
+- Merged with exactly `gh pr merge 11 --repo thezoid/ShopPyBot --merge --delete-branch=false`.
+  No `--squash`, no `--rebase`, no `--admin`, no `--auto`.
+- `master` HEAD has exactly 2 parents, proving the 263-commit trail was preserved rather than
+  collapsed.
+- PR #11's head branch still exists on origin. Deleting it would have destroyed the working
+  checkout's branch.
+- Branch protection unchanged after the merge: contexts `CodeQL`, `test (windows-latest)`,
+  `test (ubuntu-latest)`, `strict: true`, `enforce_admins: false`. Phase 38 still owns it.
+- No revert commit on master.
+- `pre-v5-mainline` remains the phase rollback point, untouched.
+
+## Findings for Downstream Phases
+
+1. **release-please needs an operator toggle, and it is not the allowlist.** The action resolved
+   and ran fine, which means the third-party Actions allowlist flagged in the v4.2 audit is no
+   longer blocking. It failed at PR creation with "GitHub Actions is not permitted to create or
+   approve pull requests", which is the repo setting Settings, Actions, General, Workflow
+   permissions. Enabling that checkbox and re-running is the fix. Phase 37 or 38 scope.
+
+2. **A dangling release branch exists.** release-please created
+   `release-please--branches--master--components--shoppybot` with commit `015ec66` before failing.
+   Harmless. Re-running after the setting change will reuse it.
+
+3. **Dependabot is confirmed active.** Update runs for `actions/checkout`, `github/codeql-action`,
+   `setuptools`, `cryptography`, and the pip group queued immediately after the merge. A stalled
+   `@dependabot rebase` in plan 04 or 05 is therefore a real anomaly, not expected behavior.
+
+4. **7 open Dependabot vulnerability alerts on the default branch** (2 high, 4 moderate, 1 low),
+   reported by GitHub during the push. SCAN scope for Phase 38.
+
+## Phase Premise Correction
+
+The ROADMAP describes Phase 36 as resolving a state where `master` is 263 commits behind and the
+v4.1 plus v4.2 suite has never run in CI. As of `486e5648` that is no longer true. The suite runs,
+on both runners, green. Combined with the correction recorded at planning time (master's CI was
+already green on the smaller 755-test input before this phase began), the milestone's founding
+narrative about 81 zero-job runs is now fully closed out.

+# Phase 36 Plan 04: pip Dependabot Set
+
+## Outcome
+
+The pip Dependabot set is resolved. One PR merged, two closed as genuinely superseded by the
+PR #11 merge. Zero fix-forward attempts consumed.
+
+## Execution Deviation: plan targets went stale mid-flight
+
+This plan was written to merge PRs #16, #17 and #15 in that order. Between planning and
+execution, the PR #11 merge landed and Dependabot reacted to it. The plan's PR list no longer
+described reality, so the plan's **intent** was executed (resolve the pip set conflict-safely,
+direction-check every PR before merging) rather than its literal task list.
+
+The plan's mandatory direction check is what made this safe, and it was vindicated: a blind merge
+of PR #16 would have downgraded `cryptography` from the `49.0.0` that wave 2 had just landed back
+to `44.0.2`, silently reverting part of MAIN-02.
+
+Like plan 03, this ran inline in the orchestrator's main thread rather than via a `gsd-executor`
+subagent, because the harness auto-mode classifier denied that dispatch. Consequence: no
+per-task commits.
+
+## Dispositions
+
+| PR | Planned | Actual outcome | Evidence |
+|----|---------|----------------|----------|
+| #16 cryptography 44.0.2 to 49.0.0 | merge | **CLOSED, superseded** | Closed by `dependabot[bot]` at 19:09:56Z: "Looks like cryptography is up-to-date now, so this is no longer needed." Master already carried `49.0.0` from the wave 2 union resolution. Exactly the outcome the plan predicted |
+| #17 setuptools >=61 to >=83.0.0 | merge | **MERGED** at 19:15:55Z | Direction check passed: master was `setuptools>=61`, a genuine upgrade. `pyproject.toml` only, no collision. Master `486e5648` to `2da4d19` |
+| #15 pip minor-and-patch group, 12 updates | merge | **CLOSED, superseded** | Closed by `dependabot[bot]` at 19:09:23Z: "Looks like these dependencies are updatable in another way, so this is no longer needed." Replaced by a new PR #21 carrying 10 updates against the post-merge master |
+
+## New Out-of-Scope PR: #21
+
+Dependabot opened PR #21 (`chore(deps): bump the minor-and-patch group across 1 directory with
+10 updates`) as the successor to #15. It did not exist when MAIN-07 was written, which names
+only #15 through #20.
+
+**Decision: deliberately left open, not merged as part of Phase 36.**
+
+Direction check result: the three MAIN-02 protected pins (`cryptography==49.0.0`,
+`httpx==0.28.1`, `pydantic-settings[yaml]==2.14.2`) are untouched context lines, and every
+change in the PR is an upgrade rather than a downgrade. So it is not unsafe on those grounds.
+
+The reason for deferring is different. Its `pyproject.toml` half contains:
+
+```
+-    "fastapi==0.115.8"        +    "fastapi==0.141.1"
+-    "uvicorn[standard]==0.30.6"   +    "uvicorn[standard]==0.52.0"
+```
+
+STATE.md records a v4.1 Phase 26 decision: "No new Python dependencies; raw
+`StreamingResponse` from starlette (already transitive dep) covers all SSE needs; do NOT add
+`sse-starlette`; do NOT upgrade FastAPI to 0.135+ in this milestone." That decision was scoped
+to v4.1 and does not automatically bind v5.0, but it exists because the SSE dashboard is
+sensitive to FastAPI and starlette churn.
+
+Merging a `0.115 to 0.141` FastAPI jump plus a `0.30 to 0.52` uvicorn jump as the closing act of
+the milestone's highest-risk phase would add real SSE regression exposure while satisfying no
+requirement. Phase 36 is mainline reconciliation, not dependency upgrades.
+
+Recommended owner: Phase 37 (Distributable Artifact) or Phase 39 (Quality Floor), whichever
+first has a reason to touch the dependency surface. It should be merged behind a deliberate
+check of the SSE tests (`tests/test_sse.py`, `tests/test_sse_wiring.py`), not merged blind.
+
+## Safety Posture
+
+No force operation. No `--squash`, `--rebase`, `--admin`, or `--auto`. No direct push to master.
+`--delete-branch=false` on every merge. Master moved once in this plan, via `gh pr merge`.
+Fix-forward attempts consumed: 0.
