+## Top Actions
+
+- `naming-and-plugin-publication`: real tag/push, marketplace submission, and final channel choice remain approval-gated
+- `release-notes-and-notifications`: final live release/npm/plugin/billing URLs and publish approval still pending
+- `partner-sponsor-talks-pack`: replace final URLs after publication gates, then get explicit approval before outbound or personal-account posts
+- `agentshield-enterprise-iteration`: deepen live operator approval/readback after Marketplace/payment gates
+- `ecc-tools-next-level`: repeat KV readback and selected-target announcement gate immediately before launch; keep native-payments copy behind the final release, plugin, URL, and owner-approval gates
+
+## Next Work Order
+
+1. Regenerate this dashboard from the final release commit before publication evidence is recorded.
+2. Review the owner approval packet from the final release commit and approve, defer, or block each publication and outbound lane.
+3. Review the owner-approved primary launch video candidates, choose the final cuts, upload after approval, and attach public video URLs to the release pack.
+4. Replace final release, npm, plugin, billing, and video URLs in the partner/sponsor/talk pack, then get explicit approval before outbound.
+5. Repeat ITO-57 Linear/project status sync after the next significant merge batch or advisory-source refresh.
+6. Repeat KV readback and the selected-target billing announcement gate immediately before launch; keep native-payments copy behind the final release, plugin, URL, and owner-approval gates.

+| ECC-Tools #89 | PR #89 merged as `512bca6b99cdaa67058a6aa9a4e7e7f0b1d9873a` after Verify, Security Audit, and Workers Builds passed. It added `billing:kv-readback -- --select-ready-target --require-ready`, allowing operators to select a ready Marketplace Pro target internally without passing or printing the login. |
+| Live production readback | The 2026-05-20 Wrangler OAuth readback found ready-like Marketplace Pro records with webhook provenance, selected a target with both key families, seat and webhook readiness, no overage, and 0 blockers, with account details redacted. The old missing Marketplace Pro target-state blocker is cleared. |
+| ECC #2019 | PR #2019 merged as `30f60710d4e0424fc70d9bbdc105009db141d9d8`, syncing the selected-target readback evidence into the GA roadmap, rc.1 publication evidence, naming matrix, preview manifest, and operator dashboard. |
+| ECC-Tools #90 | PR #90 merged as `16a5bb33ee5ce7c31d2ad8d041e5afac03308f05` after Verify, Security Audit, and Workers Builds passed. It added the selected-target official announcement gate through `/api/billing/readiness?selectReadyTarget=1` and `npm run billing:announcement-gate -- --select-ready-target`, keeping the raw account login out of command logs. |
+| ECC #2020 | PR #2020 merged as `c2471fe5c535310f8a8008c9ed7ea9f6757b33f2`, syncing ECC-Tools #90 into the roadmap, publication evidence, naming matrix, preview manifest, publication readiness, release URL ledger, platform audit surfaces, and operator dashboard. |
+| ECC-Tools #91 | PR #91 merged as `72119a1acc6f5a0cd3bb5d90afd6e87fd1fefd05` after Verify, Security Audit, and Workers Builds passed. It added `--env-file` to the billing announcement and KV readback scripts for ignored local operator credential files, with tests proving sentinel secrets and account logins are not printed. |
+| ECC-Tools #92 | PR #92 merged as `18d80197be779619283e0b37e2952bac53819a07` after Verify, Security Audit, and Workers Builds passed. It added the non-breaking `INTERNAL_OPERATOR_API_SECRET` bearer accepted by privileged internal API routes without rotating the primary `INTERNAL_API_SECRET`, and the merged Worker was deployed to `api.ecc.tools`. |
+| May 20 live selected-target gate | Vault-backed Wrangler readback passed with Marketplace Pro state, target fingerprint `e953a74209fe`, both key families, webhook evidence, seat readiness, no overage, and 0 blockers. After rotating the operator bearer, `npm run billing:announcement-gate -- --preflight --select-ready-target` returned ready and `npm run billing:announcement-gate -- --select-ready-target` returned `announcementGateReady: true`, 0 required actions, 0 blockers, and audit summary 6 pass / 1 warn / 0 fail. |

  ECC-Tools PR #89 (`512bca6`) added `billing:kv-readback --
  --select-ready-target --require-ready`; its 2026-05-20 production run cleared
  the old missing-target-state blocker without printing the account login.
+  ECC-Tools PR #90 (`16a5bb3`) added the selected-target official announcement
+  gate, so production preflight no longer needs a raw GitHub login.
+  ECC-Tools PR #91 (`72119a1`) added `--env-file` support for ignored local
+  billing credentials without printing loaded secrets or account logins.
+  ECC-Tools PR #92 (`18d8019`) added the non-breaking operator bearer path, and
+  ECC-Tools PR #93 (`d3d62df`) recorded the live gate pass.
