+# Review Report: Bleeding-Edge Agent Skills and Conductor Alignment
+
+Reviewed: 2026-08-01
+
+## Summary
+
+The track satisfies its portable-skill, evaluation, Conductor, GitHub, and
+governed-release requirements after one release-runtime maintenance finding was
+fixed.
+
+## Verification checks
+
+- **Plan compliance:** Yes — every phase has repository and hosted evidence.
+- **Style compliance:** Pass — repository style guides and configured linters
+  pass.
+- **New tests:** Yes — portable contract, routing, evaluation, reconciliation,
+  host overlay, workflow, sync, literal-preservation, and release-action cases.
+- **Test coverage:** Yes for the repository-defined behavioral and integration
+  gates; no unsupported numeric coverage claim is made.
+- **Test results:** Passed — 73 aggregate tests, isolated test files, sync,
+  validation, lint, type, formatting, and integration checks.
+- **Security:** Passed — CodeQL and the blocking alert gate passed on the final
+  integrated revision; alerts 13 and 14 have fixed latest instances.
+
+## Resolved findings
+
+### Medium: Release action declared deprecated Node.js 20
+
+- **File:** `.github/workflows/release.yml`
+- **Context:** Release run `30684012674` succeeded but GitHub forced the v2
+  action from Node.js 20 to Node.js 24.
+- **Resolution:** Updated to upstream v3.0.2 commit
+  `3d0d9888cb7fd7b750713d6e236d1fcb99157228`, which declares Node.js 24, and
+  added a regression assertion in `test/workflow-integrity.test.js`.
+- **Evidence:** Red test on the prior pin; green full gate at commit `49ea366`.
+
+### Medium: Conductor validator hard-coded the former active track path
+
+- **File:** `scripts/validate-conductor.js`
+- **Context:** A correct archive move failed validation because the validator
+  ignored the authoritative path already stored in `github-mapping.json`.
+- **Resolution:** Resolve required track artifacts from the mapped path so both
+  active and archived records validate without compatibility shims.
+- **Evidence:** The existing handshake test failed after the archive move and
+  passed after the validator was generalized.
+
+## Decision
+
+Approved for archive. No Critical, High, or unresolved Medium findings remain.
