§8 review checkpoint (todo §8); ran the architecture + product reviewers on the whole project and addressed findings. Critical (arch): "Testing & CI" shipped no CI automation — added scripts/ci.sh, the whole gate in one command (pin-lockstep check → typecheck → units (count guard) → the 4 E2E suites, each on its own named fresh stack with guaranteed down -v + non-zero exit on first failure). The gate immediately caught a latent bug: the auth-refresh suite booted Hydra (inherited §6 web→hydra dep) but the e2e overlays don't run Hydra with --dev, so it never went healthy — dropped Hydra from the auth suite's web deps (it never needed it). Product 🔴: the README Status note claimed auth/Hydra were unbuilt (false after §4/§6/§8) — corrected it + dropped the now-false _(planned)_ markers on the Auth/MVP sections. Product 🟡: added a login-only "Forgot password?" link (the recovery flow was unreachable from /login) and a data-table empty-state row (blank list tables, recurring deferral) — both tests-first. Docs: README Layout e2e line + e2e/package.json updated for the §8 suites. Stability-reviewer APPROVE-with-nits; addressed both (per-suite compose project names; grep || true) and fixed a project-name dot bug it introduced. Corrected a reviewer error (bootstrap uses restart on-failure:5, not unless-stopped). typecheck + 306 units green; scripts/ci.sh green end-to-end (visual 9 · auth 1 · oauth 2 · full 6), all stacks torn down. Deferred to §9: the app.ts internal route-table (raised urgency), visual-parity for admin/consent screens, a key-rotation E2E; L3 (plugin-api barrel in shifts.test) → the §8 test-cleanup item.
