+# Staging Gate Log (deterministic runner, ORCH-115)
+
+Staging suite did NOT execute (tool-error) and the infra-retry budget was exhausted -> fail-closed FAILED.
+
+Вердикт зафиксирован детерминированным staging-раннером (ORCH-115), не LLM. infra-tolerance (ORCH-061) уже учтена внутри `staging_check.py` — раннер её не пересуживает.
