The 2026-08-17 run below is kept because it is the record of the wrong-verb blocker. The
2026-08-18 run cleared that blocker with `AuthenticateUser` + `WriteSecured` and answered
two of the three questions; the acknowledge leg is now blocked on something narrower and
different, described in "Second attempt" and diagnosed in "Third attempt".
