Document a TODO, not implemented developer-only staging environment. The owner confirmed scheduled availability and synthetic demo seeds. The plan preserves production business-service/contract coverage at smaller fixed capacity, with a separate small database, Redis/Kafka/media resources, secrets and Grafana Cloud observability; Cloudflare Zero Trust Access protects all staging paths and origins.

Faro stays enabled for technical errors, while Umami and every usage-analytics path stay disabled. Inspection found the existing shared telemetry flag cannot express this independently, so frontend gate/build/test work is explicitly a TODO. Compare cost-first single-node MicroK8s with dedicated EKS, identify parity/HA limitations, schedule/cost caveats, stateful recovery, resource/DB scaling restrictions, delivery boundaries and acceptance criteria. Budget, operating hours/timezone, exact hosting/sizes, domain and CDN choices remain open.

Link the plan from architecture, deployment, costs, Cloudflare, observability, frontend telemetry and delivery/backlog documentation. Track future work in issue #13. This PR changes only Markdown: no code, manifests, environment values, workflows, schedulers or infrastructure are implemented. The tracker must remain open pending separate owner authorization and acceptance evidence.

Validation: Prettier, whitespace and focused relative-link checks passed; Zensical builds without issues. All staging checkboxes remain unchecked. Root pre-commit was attempted but no root hook configuration exists. Existing CI checks run on the PR. Owner's existing authorization covers documentation review/merge, not staging deployment.
