Two documented limitations (follow-ups): no replication back-fill of a fully-wiped node; oplog growth on default-OFF nodes. Post-fix: full build 0 errors, Runtime.Tests 409/0, all LocalDb Host.IntegrationTests green; only consistent failure is the infra-gated AbCip_Green_AgainstSim (sim not up). Evidence: 2026-07-20-localdb-phase1-live-gate.md. NOT merged."
