+      Site-currency correction (DEC-28 — under-reporting is drift too): the stage tracker and Home
+      badge still said "Stage 6 built · Stage 7 next" and gate_passed: false, while Stage 7
+      (surfaces & narratives, SPEC-16/17 — since rebuilt on the SPEC-26 replay mechanism) has been
+      built and demonstrated, and the SPEC-15 spine-complete gate harness (tests/gate.test.ts,
+      asserting G1–G6 end-to-end on Meridian plus the vignette §9 oracles) has been implemented and
+      green in CI since it landed. Corrected: stage 7 done, gate_passed true, badge "All stages
+      built · gate passed"; the SPEC-15 spec status line updated to match. No capability change —
+      this entry records the site catching up with the repository, in both directions of honesty.

 **Created**: 2026-07-14
 
-**Status**: Draft
+**Status**: Built — the gate harness ships as `tests/gate.test.ts` (asserts G1–G6 end-to-end on Meridian, re-asserts the vignette §9 oracle cases O-1…O-4, confirms theses A–F walkable) and runs green in CI; recorded as passed in `docs/status.yml` (`gate_passed: true`, 2026-07-18)
 
 **Input**: SPEC-15 — Spine-complete gate harness; the single barrier before Stage 7.
