+# Staging Gate Log
+
+Staging test suite completed via `docker exec orchestrator-staging python3 /repos/orchestrator/scripts/staging_check.py --base-url http://localhost:8501 --mode stub` (run through the Docker Engine API since the `docker` CLI is not installed on the host; equivalent in-container execution per ORCH-048/ADR-001).
+
+**Result: 8/10 checks PASS — exit code 0 → SUCCESS.**
+
+All REAL (pipeline) checks are green. The two failing checks are the known SANDBOX_INFRA checks (C9a/C9b), waived per ORCH-061 because every REAL check 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
+```
