STATE (all pushed):
- flotilla main = 70ba3b0 (v1.6.0): authenticated Gitea reads. Tags v1.5.0
  (backfilled), v1.5.1, v1.6.0 all pushed.
- v1.5.1 fixed the `flotilla` audit self-scan layer (now scans the resolved
  installed env via importlib.metadata — surfaces real pip advisories).
- v1.6.0 added the `gitea_read_secret_ref` deployment-record field (migration
  008) + token-auth on every Gitea raw read (pin/deploy/plan/audit), because
  the OHM org Gitea repos were made PRIVATE on 2026-05-31 (intentional) and
  every anonymous read started 404ing.
BLOCKER: RESOLVED in session 0052.
- The deployment record points at wiggleverse-ohm/ohm-rfc-app-gitea-read-token —
  a DEDICATED read token (NOT ohm-bot, which lacks access to the ben.stull/*
  personal-namespace repos). Its identity reads both ben.stull/ohm-rfc (pin) and
  ben.stull/rfc-app (lockfiles). `pin check` resolves 0.31.3; full `audit` runs
  clean (9 findings, 0 scanner_errors). Nothing to do here — radar is live.
Run form (osv on PATH + pinned gcloud config):
  PATH="/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH" CLOUDSDK_ACTIVE_CONFIG_NAME=wiggleverse \
    .venv/bin/ohm-rfc-app-flotilla audit ohm-rfc-app
NEXT MOVES:
1. tqdm RCE is live in the pin: py-app/tqdm 4.9.0 has a HIGH RCE
   (GHSA-r7q7-xcjw-qx8q, fixed 4.11.2) — fast-lane pin-bump candidate, but needs
   a fixed rfc-app tag to bump to first; the bump rides Track Δ (#37-#42), not
   the audit verb. (Also live: py-app/idna 3.9.0→3.15, medium.)
2. Patchwatch Phase 2: OS unattended-upgrades (security pocket) on the VM +
   the reboot-required the radar flagged (linux-image-6.1.0-49). Independent
   of Track Δ.
3. Patchwatch cloud runner (proposal §6): Cloud Scheduler → read-only Cloud Run
   job running `flotilla audit … --json --fail-on`. Now unblocked — the runner's
   identity will need Secret Manager access to ohm-rfc-app-gitea-read-token (the
   token approach is proven end-to-end).
Do NOT build the auto-initiate tier (Phase 5) — depends on Track Δ existing.
