+# Staging Gate Log
+
+Staging test suite completed against the live staging environment (8501),
+run canonically inside the `orchestrator-staging` container (ORCH-048, ADR-001).
+
+**Verdict:** SUCCESS — `staging_check.py` exited **0**. All REAL (pipeline)
+checks green; the only failures are the two known sandbox-infra checks
+(C9a/C9b), which are waived per ORCH-061 because every REAL check passed.
+
+## Result
+
+- RESULT: 8/10 checks PASS
+- REAL failed: none
+- SANDBOX_INFRA failed (waived): C9a Branch appears in orchestrator-sandbox; C9b Analyst job enqueued in staging queue
+
+INFRA-WAIVED: C9a Branch appears in orchestrator-sandbox, C9b Analyst job enqueued in staging queue (known sandbox-infra; real checks green)
+VERDICT: SUCCESS (exit 0) — SUCCESS (infra-waived): ['C9a Branch appears in orchestrator-sandbox', 'C9b Analyst job enqueued in staging queue'] are known sandbox-infra checks; all real checks green
+
