+# Staging Gate Log
+
+Staging test suite completed against the live `orchestrator-staging` instance (port 8501,
+mode=stub), run canonically INSIDE the container (`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 real checks green.
+- SANDBOX_INFRA failed (tolerated, ORCH-061): C9a, C9b.
+
+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
+
+## Blocks
+- Block A (SMOKE): A1, A2, A3 — PASS
+- Block B (ACCESS): B4, B5, B6 (registry isolation: sandbox present, prod ET/ORCH absent) — PASS
+- Block C (E2E, stub): C7, C8 — PASS; C9a, C9b — sandbox-infra waived (exit 0)
+
+Tolerance active: `staging_infra_tolerance_enabled=True`. Exit-code → verdict mapping unchanged;
+waived checks not re-judged.
