+## 1.1 Production-Readiness Status
+
+As of May 5, 2026, the active handoff is complete with explicit environment deferrals recorded in `docs/PRODUCTION_READINESS_HANDOFF_ROADMAP.md`.
+
+- Passing local gates: `pnpm run verify`, backend/web/mobile lint, web Playwright release flows, release-guard audit, product/API drift audit, and `git diff --check`.
+- Expected non-failing warnings: backend/web/mobile lint advisories, mobile `react-test-renderer` deprecation, and Next `--localstorage-file`.
+- Environment deferrals: Docker compose smoke needs a Docker-capable host; shared-service smoke needs platform-service, extraction-service, mcp-server, and Cosmos credentials.

 # 9. Current Known Blockers / Deferrals
 
-- **Active production-readiness blocker** — May 5 baseline verification fails backend typecheck/build/tests because NoteLett Palace/embedding/prompt code is out of sync with the local `learning_ai_common_plat` `@bytelyst/palace` and `@bytelyst/llm` APIs. Tracked by `docs/PRODUCTION_READINESS_HANDOFF_ROADMAP.md` P0.5, P2.7, and P5.4.
-- **Active lint blocker** — backend lint is missing `@eslint/js`, web lint has React compiler rule violations, and mobile lint has one unresolved shared billing-client import. Tracked by production-readiness P0.5, P4.3, P7.4, P8.1, and P8.5.
-- **Active runtime smoke gap** — platform-service, extraction-service, mcp-server, blob, telemetry, diagnostics, flags, kill switch, and NoteLett backend health need documented and automated smoke checks. Tracked by production-readiness P2.2-P2.4 and P8.4.
+- **Production-readiness local gate complete** — May 5 verification passes `pnpm run verify`, backend/web/mobile lint, web Playwright release flows, release-guard audits, product/API drift scans, and `git diff --check`; exact commands and commit hashes are recorded in `docs/PRODUCTION_READINESS_HANDOFF_ROADMAP.md` Phase P10.
+- **Environment deferral: Docker compose smoke** — `scripts/compose-smoke.sh` syntax checks, but this host has no Docker-compatible runtime (`docker: command not found`), so live compose build/start/health smoke remains delegated to a Docker-capable runner.
+- **Environment deferral: shared-service live smoke** — `pnpm run smoke:local` starts NoteLett in memory mode and passes `/health` plus `/api/bootstrap`, but live platform-service/extraction-service/mcp-server checks require those services and Cosmos credentials. Direct common-platform startup failed locally because `COSMOS_ENDPOINT` and `COSMOS_KEY` are not present in the shell env.
+- **Advisory warnings** — lint exits 0 while retaining backend/web/mobile warning output for follow-up cleanup; tests/builds also retain known non-failing warnings such as mobile `react-test-renderer` deprecation and Next `--localstorage-file`.
 - ~~**Blocker** — Product identity not finalized~~ **Resolved:** locked as NoteLett (`e1fde25`)
 - **Deferred** — `@bytelyst/react-native-platform-sdk` adoption is intentionally deferred for release handoff; mobile uses direct shared `@bytelyst/*` clients instead. See `docs/MOBILE_PLATFORM_SDK_DECISION.md`.
 - **Deferred** — `@bytelyst/sync` adoption is intentionally deferred for release handoff; mobile keeps the narrower `@bytelyst/offline-queue` retry model until backend sync/conflict contracts are explicit. See `docs/MOBILE_SYNC_DECISION.md`.
