+# Staging Gate Log
+
+Staging test suite completed against the live `orchestrator-staging` container
+(8501) via `docker exec` (Docker Engine API over the mounted socket). The suite
+ran inside the container so the B6 registry-isolation check reads the registry
+from the running instance's own process-env (`.env.staging`).
+
+**Command:**
+```
+docker exec orchestrator-staging \
+  python3 /repos/orchestrator/scripts/staging_check.py \
+  --base-url http://localhost:8501 --mode stub
+```
+
+**Result: 8/10 checks PASS — exit code 0 → `staging_status: SUCCESS`.**
+
+- REAL failed: none
+- All Block A (SMOKE A1–A3), Block B (ACCESS B4–B6), and Block C creation/trigger
+  checks (C7, C8) passed.
+
+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
+
+Per ORCH-061 waiver tolerance (`staging_infra_tolerance_enabled=True`), the two
+infra-only checks C9a/C9b depend on SANDBOX bot accounts being project members —
+not on the pipeline — and are tolerated when every REAL check is green. The
+script exits 0. Exit-code → verdict mapping is unchanged: trust the exit code.
