check_tests_passed/_parse_tests_verdict gated the testing -> deploy-staging
transition on `verdict:`/`status:` in 13-test-report.md, but the tester agent
prompt (.openclaw/agents/tester*) documents `result: PASS | FAIL` as THE
machine-readable field. A report that followed the contract literally
(ORCH-017: only `result: PASS`, no verdict:/status:) was bounced back to
development with a misleading "Tests FAILED". ORCH-016 only passed because its
report redundantly carried both `verdict:` and `result:`.
Treat `result:` as a first-class machine field alongside verdict/status; a
negative token in any field stays authoritative (ET-013 contract preserved).
Self-hosting QG fix: unblocks every project whose tester emits only `result:`.
Docs updated in-PR: CHANGELOG, architecture README machine-keys note.

check_tests_passed did "if PASS in content" over the whole 13-test-report.md
body, so a report explicitly marked verdict: BLOCKED / status: blocked whose
prose mentioned "23 passed" / "PASS" / "All checks passed" passed the gate.
On ET-013 an unfinished feature (P1 AC-19 failed) reached Done.
Now mirrors check_reviewer_verdict (S-5) and check_deploy_status: read ONLY the
YAML frontmatter verdict:/status: fields. Positive tokens (PASS/PASSED/
READY-TO-DEPLOY/GREEN/APPROVED) -> True; negative tokens (BLOCKED/FAILED/...) are
authoritative -> False; missing/empty/no-frontmatter/bad-YAML -> False with reason;
file missing -> not found. Never raises.
Positive token set derived from REAL enduro-trails reports ET-001..ET-014
(inconsistent: PASS, ready-to-deploy+status:PASSED, stage:ready-to-deploy+status:pass,
PASS — ready-to-deploy). Validated: all 9 prior passing WIs stay True, ET-013 -> False.
ET-013: deployer writes 14-deploy-log.md and merges deploy artifacts into
main via a separate PR, so the log lands in origin/main, not the feature
branch worktree that check_deploy_status reads via _repo_path(repo, branch).
Result: every successful deploy was falsely failed (Deploy log not found)
and rolled back deploy->development.
Fix: when the log is absent in the worktree, fall back to reading it from
origin/main on the shared clone (git fetch origin main + git show
origin/main:docs/work-items/<WI>/14-deploy-log.md). Lookup order:
worktree -> origin/main -> not found. Fetch/show failures degrade to
not found (never raise). Does not touch the merge-gate in gitea.py.
Tests: origin/main SUCCESS->PASS (ET-013 case), origin/main FAILED->FAILED,
absent everywhere->not found, fetch failure->degrades no exception,
worktree log short-circuits main lookup.
