+## Published release receipt
 
 Source commit `084ddb9476374eb81d665bb143a1bd7c6a00e819` was pushed and verified
 against the remote branch. [PR #106](https://github.com/passioncode-ai/passioncode/pull/106)
 contains the reviewed release candidate and this receipt.
 
-Wait for the integrating adapter owner to
-confirm `v0.35.0` publication before merging or tagging launcher `v0.2.8`.
-Watcher: the active integrating release session; fallback is this handoff.
-After publication, verify the exact dependency tag, land the checked launcher
-commit, run the release workflow, verify npm metadata and tarball integrity,
-update the installation, and close PC-44 with receipts.
+The adapter dependency gate cleared: its
+[release workflow](https://github.com/passioncode-ai/fabric-agent-adapter/actions/runs/38967232797)
+completed successfully and `npm view @passioncode-ai/fabric-agent-adapter@0.35.0 version`
+returned `0.35.0`. The launcher PR's two final hosted `node` checks passed.

+  has no diff from the checked candidate. Tag `v0.2.8` peels to that commit;

+PC-44's distribution release is complete. All guarded-file leases are released
+after the receipt branch is pushed. No launcher runtime files changed after the
+release gate; this follow-up records publication evidence.
+
+## Exact next task
+
+The integrating adapter session owns global update, native hook activation and
+installed-byte acceptance. This launcher task does not claim those checks from
+publication. Its published receipt has been sent to the knowledge-base integrator
+for version propagation. Existing copy-registry drift remains PC-45 for the next
+maintenance iteration. There is no pending launcher publication wait.
