-- 2026-10-19: dispatch-1 startup goal and one-worker proposal prepared. Baseline at d9059116: lint 11/11, unit run completed 219 files before profile-modal suite timed out at 60s; isolated unrestricted rerun reproduced timeout; 205 files remain untested. fleet/TEAM-PROPOSAL.md proposes one client-reliability worker for this blocker, with queued torrent-probe lifetime as a later candidate. Await first-worker approval before adding/launching it. No product edits or workers started.

 - Proposed one Codex client-reliability worker to diagnose/fix the profile-modal hang without weakening assertions or masking it with forced exits. The queued torrent-probe lifetime issue from TODO #34 is a subsequent unassigned candidate.
 - Open GitHub PRs: 0; local landing queue initially 0. No workers, roster additions, product edits, or schedules started.
 - Needs owner: approval of the concrete first-worker proposal in TEAM-PROPOSAL.md. Browser, Amber, live-site, and remaining unit files unverified.

+- Startup documentation landed as fa538097 (land_status=landed; confirmed by git log unstable). Dispatch branch fast-forwarded to that landing; git diff --check passed and tree clean. dispatch-1 preparation complete; first-worker approval remains pending. Documentation-only landing does not qualify client behavior.
