 # external install. Issued AFTER the 0.236.0 bake landed — not over a bake that could have been done.
 # Renewed 2026-09-27 by CC for 7 days only: the version-travel brief said "no golden" this session, and the
 # weekly bake (last: 0.258.0, 2026-09-20) is DUE — STATUS asks the operator for it. Not a bypass: dated, capped.
