+# Staging Gate Log
+
+Staging test suite completed against the live `orchestrator-staging` stand (8501), run canonically
+inside the container via `docker exec orchestrator-staging python3 /repos/orchestrator/scripts/staging_check.py --base-url http://localhost:8501 --mode stub`.
+
+Exit code **0** → `staging_status: SUCCESS`. All REAL pipeline checks passed; the only failures are
+the two known sandbox-infra checks (C9a/C9b), waived under ORCH-061 tolerance.
+
+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
+
+## Results
+- **Block A (SMOKE)**: PASS — A1 `/health`→200 `status=ok`; A2 `/queue`→200 (counts/max_concurrency/resilience); A3 `ORCH_STAGING=true`.
+- **Block B (ACCESS)**: PASS — B4 Plane sandbox accessible (sandbox=YES); B5 Gitea `orchestrator-sandbox` accessible, push=true; B6 registry isolation OK (sandbox present, prod ET/ORCH absent).
+- **Block C (E2E, mode=stub)**: C7 create issue in Plane SANDBOX PASS; C8 trigger pipeline via `/webhook/plane` PASS; **C9a/C9b FAIL — waived** (sandbox-infra: SANDBOX bot-accounts not members of the sandbox project; not a pipeline regression). CLEANUP: Plane issue deleted (HTTP 204), no branch to delete.
+
+REAL failed: none.
+Result: 8/10 checks PASS (2 waived sandbox-infra).
