Stage Timeline
Who handled each stage, the time it took (measured), and the model / tokens / cost reported (best-effort) — plus who's on it right now. — means the agent didn't report that metric.
No stage changes recorded yet.

QA review feedback, agent handoffs, and follow-up notes for this task.
Phase 3A scout launcher is ready for Avi PR review. PR: https://github.com/amcritchie/mcritchie-studio/pull/53. Branch: feat/devops-scout-launcher-v1. Local proof is CLI/docs only; stack health is down by design. Checks run: ruby -c bin/devops-cycle; focused devops_cycle command tests 13 runs 177 assertions; RuboCop 402 files no offenses; git diff --check origin/main; live bin/devops-cycle --no-refresh --write-scout-packets tmp/devops-scouts-live wrote a manifest and one serialized scout prompt.
Phase 3A scout launcher merged in PR #53 at 26c640f1104180b3e51ffba8d220ef52831cf82b and deployed to QA. QA URL: https://qa.mcritchie.studio/devops. Post-deploy checks: QA /up returned 200; deployed dyno ran bin/devops-cycle --offline-fixture test/fixtures/files/devops_cycle_snapshot.json --write-scout-packets tmp/devops-scouts-live and wrote manifest plus 3 prompt files. Note: live task-board mode on QA fails closed because AGENT_API_SECRET is not configured there; conductor/local live smoke already wrote manifest and 1 live prompt before merge.
QA alignment update: current main 82cb5f3c83a6dd16743338eeba87b6ff9527a5c4 is deployed to McRitchie Studio QA after the docs-only cleanup ledger commit. Final checks: https://qa.mcritchie.studio/up returned 200; https://qa.mcritchie.studio/devops returned 200 after redirect; QA dyno ran bin/devops-cycle --offline-fixture test/fixtures/files/devops_cycle_snapshot.json --write-scout-packets tmp/devops-scouts-live and wrote manifest plus 3 prompt files.
QA accepted for production-ready promotion: deployed on McRitchie Studio QA at https://qa.mcritchie.studio/devops with /up and /devops 200; included in current production deployment batch.
Production shipped: McRitchie Studio v72 / 4af95f8. Production URL: https://mcritchie.studio/devops. Verification included production health checks, relevant route smokes, dyno status, and release notes posted to Discord. Task marked done.
