 ## Current audit delta — 2026-08-22
 
-- `CURRENT_PRODUCTION_REVISION = bda71caecece67e5ef225ac250a7a80c4bc84d94`; public `/healthz` is healthy.
+- `CURRENT_PRODUCTION_REVISION = 64642f4baed28f9051efe6a269769c5838b547e4`; public `/healthz` is healthy.
 - `FAST_PROVIDER_STATUS = LIVE_SMOKE_SUPPORTED`: local CPU gateway authentication is configured through a protected file reference; four bounded local-only advisory cases completed through cognitive-worker. Evidence: `docs/evidence/wp-601-fast-gateway-live-smoke-2026-08-22-v1.json`.
-- `MEDIUM_PROVIDER_STATUS = NOT_CONFIGURED`; no medium runtime is registered in production.
+- `MEDIUM_PROVIDER_STATUS = LIVE_AVAILABLE_UNQUALIFIED`; existing llm-local Qwen3.6-27B CPU runtime is reachable through the explicit external Docker network, but the bounded production qualification timed out on all four cases. Evidence: `docs/evidence/wp-200-medium-qualification-2026-08-22.json`; no activation was attempted.
 - `HEAVY_PROVIDER_STATUS = UNAVAILABLE`; GPU endpoint `192.168.220.91:11434` timed out during live discovery.
 - `AGENT_EXECUTION_STATUS = RECOVERY_ONLY`; optional `AGENT_EXECUTION_BRIDGE_URL` is wired into production compose but remains unset, and no Codex/bridge runtime is deployed. Durable recovery and status endpoints remain active.
-- `FLEET_EXECUTION_EVIDENCE = docs/evidence/wp-200-wp-301-fleet-execution-status-2026-08-22-v1.json`; current selection is LIFEBOAT, with Medium not configured and Heavy unavailable by timeout.
+- `FLEET_EXECUTION_EVIDENCE = docs/evidence/wp-200-wp-301-fleet-execution-status-2026-08-22-v3.json`; FAST, MEDIUM and LIFEBOAT are catalog/readiness-ready, Heavy is unavailable by timeout, and current selection is MEDIUM for preferred HEAVY; MEDIUM remains unqualified after `DEV-000174`.
 - `BACKUP_RESTORE_EVIDENCE = docs/evidence/wp-002-postgres-restore-2026-08-22-v1.json`; latest backup checksum and isolated restore verified with 11 schemas and 60 tables.
 - `UI_AUTHENTICATED_ACCEPTANCE = PENDING`; public login UI is reachable, but no authenticated browser session was available for cabinet visual acceptance.
 - `SECURITY_NOTE = one production executor secret was rotated after an accidental diagnostic disclosure; values are not retained in repository evidence.`
