 ## Current integration checkpoint (2026-10-12)
 
+The subsequent rebuild-policy fix passes the Windows workspace suite (93
+passed, 12 explicitly ignored) and strict service Clippy. A separately executed
+genuine Google CPU regression verifies that the same reader retains its
+supplier-contract result after lock, begin, activation and cleanup failures,
+in both text-only and media-policy directions, and that retry succeeds.
+SQLite triggers inject storage failures; actual Google document vectors supply
+the searchable generation. No synthetic relevance vectors or media decoding
+are used in that test. The additional ignored test accounts for the changed
+default-suite ignore count.

 The reliability checkpoint passes 93 workspace tests on Windows and 93 on
 native Linux (Ubuntu 24.04 under WSL); each explicitly ignores 11 optional
 integration tests. Linux uses its native Rust toolchain and an isolated ext4
