+## Live development deployment verification on 2026-07-25
+
+The local development Compose project was rebuilt and restarted from exact
+local commit `7a54477a308181768469bb1012b1ec561400b9fe`. This was a
+development-domain deployment only. The hackathon test deployment, production
+deployment, Git remote, Devpost entry, branches, and tags were not changed.
+
+- The ordinary development Compose project runs two healthy web replicas, two
+  healthy worker replicas, a healthy PostgreSQL/PostGIS container, and the
+  development proxy. The four BEAM nodes passed the repository's realtime
+  cluster check.
+- Both direct proxy readiness on `127.0.0.1:4010` with the configured host
+  header and public readiness at
+  `https://whoneedhelp.imalto.site/healthz/ready` returned HTTP 200 with
+  `{"status":"ready"}`. The public home page returned HTTP 200 and the title
+  `Who Need Help`.
+- `./scripts/check-environment-readiness.sh .env --require-release` reported
+  zero blocking items and zero local-only warnings. The check found the
+  development origin, independent application secrets, external SMTP,
+  support inbox, web and Android Google sign-in, VAPID, Firebase client,
+  FCM service account, Android App Links, and development signing inputs
+  present and internally consistent; it did not print their secret values.
+- A headed Chrome inspection of the public development domain confirmed the
+  real MapLibre demo map, localized English and Russian navigation and page
+  content, the searchable compact language menu, the authentication redirect
+  for protected request discovery, and the 390 by 844 mobile navigation
+  layout. The inspected page reported zero browser console errors or warnings.
+  A mobile viewport capture is retained at
+  `output/playwright/dev-live-mobile-menu-20260725.png`.
+- `./scripts/staging-e2e-run.sh` passed the real public HTTPS mutual-aid flow
+  against `https://whoneedhelp.imalto.site`: two users, medicine request,
+  helper replacement, realtime private chat, consent-based tracking,
+  handover, both-party completion, reporting signals, and blind reviews.
+  Evidence is `output/staging-e2e/20260725212537-291190`.
+- Exact fixture cleanup removed 3 synthetic users, 2 requests, 3 assignments,
+  2 messages, 1 tracking session, 2 reviews, 2 abuse signals, and 13 audit
+  events. The before/after application-table snapshots have the same SHA-256
+  (`e0effacce81c9662c448d4d073578d54c5f779bd1d9f6f9188c7911afbd55659`)
+  and the cleanup diff is empty. The two unreferenced temporary E2E image tags
+  were removed explicitly after the run.
+- The full public auth/email staging drill was not run against this
+  development topology because its required local Mailpit endpoint at
+  `127.0.0.1:8027` was not running. Auth and email behavior remains covered by
+  the isolated 45-scenario browser matrix and 390-test local quality gate
+  below; this observation is not represented as a live external-email check.
