 - `BACKUP_RESTORE_STATUS = VERIFIED`; latest checksum and isolated restore evidence is retained in `docs/evidence/wp-002-postgres-restore-2026-08-22-v1.json`.
 - `GOVERNED_SELF_DEVELOPMENT_STATUS = DURABLE_GATE_PERSISTED`; Work-owned revisioned gate storage and optimistic-concurrency persistence are live. No bridge-backed source mutation, promotion or rollback is claimed. Evidence: `docs/evidence/governed-development-gate-persistence-2026-08-23-v1.json`.
 - `UI_AUTHENTICATED_ACCEPTANCE = AUTHENTICATED_QUICK_SMOKE_PASS`; browser-driven smoke completed in the active production session: chat response received, admin login accepted, diagnostics 7/7 passed, operations fleet 4/4 READY, and action history loaded. Deep mutation, delegation-specific and long-running acceptance remain intentionally deferred.
+- `CURRENT_UI_SESSION_STATUS = NO_CURRENT_AUTHENTICATED_SESSION`; the historical quick-smoke evidence above is retained, but the current acceptance run has no signed-in browser session, so no new authenticated visual result is claimed. Public cabinet shell and unauthenticated protection were checked separately.
+- `AGENT_WORKER_STATUS_CORRECTION = LIVE_TRUTHFUL_LOCAL_FALLBACK`; after DEV-000216, absence of the protected bridge is reported as `executor_configured=false`, `mode=local-fallback`, `ready=false`; local task evaluation is not represented as external agent execution. Evidence: `docs/evidence/audit-runtime-status-2026-08-23-v2.json`.
 
 ## Current governance checkpoint
 
 - `COMPLETION_MATRIX = docs/evidence/audit-completion-matrix-2026-08-23-v3.json`; all seven objective areas are mapped to current repository/production proof, with external bridge, GPU promotion/quality and deep-acceptance gaps explicit.

+- `ACTIVE_TASK = dev/tasks/DEV-000217-current-status-evidence.json revision 1`
 - `LINEAGE_DECISION = docs/GOVERNANCE_LINEAGE_DECISION_2026-08-22.md`; historical packets remain provenance and are not current authority.
 - `REGISTRY_STATUS = YAML and JSON semantic mirrors agree`
 - `PRODUCTION_DOMAIN = docker.cin.su`; shared docker-test is not used for this project.
-- `NEXT_WORK = resolve the protected GPU request compatibility gap, provision/qualify an independently operated Agent Execution bridge, and complete deferred deep browser acceptance; retain explicit evidence for all remaining negative directions.`
+- `NEXT_WORK = provision/qualify an independently operated Agent Execution bridge when available, complete deferred deep browser acceptance with a signed-in session, and add task-quality verification only when live work produces an unresolved case; retain explicit evidence for all remaining negative directions.`
