+- Remote: `https://gitea.kyndemo.live/agents/gcp_solution_architecture_agent`
+- Purpose: establish a concrete publication commit for the already-verified workflow deliverable.
+- Scope: this audit note only; all previously delivered architecture, guide, Terraform, validation, template, phase, and compliance artifacts are preserved unchanged.
