+- Read-only inspection of the authenticated Play Console showed Internal
+  testing active with release `0.1.3 Reliable notifications` and version code
+  `4` available to internal testers.
+- The existing Closed testing Alpha track remained inactive with zero of four
+  setup tasks complete. Countries and testers were not selected, the track
+  contained no release, and its review action was locked behind those setup
+  tasks.
+- The Child safety standards declaration remained incomplete. The standards
+  URL and contact selection were blank, both attestations were unchecked, and
+  the Save action was disabled. The public `/child-safety` page returning `200`
+  does not replace the monitored-contact and legal-attestation decisions.

+  for `org.whoneedhelp.mobile` version `0.1.3 (4)`: Google Play installer,
+  protected Play App Signing identity, verified production App Link, and
+  `MainActivity` resolution all matched. The browser-only Google OAuth callback
+  was not claimed by Android.
+- No Play Console value was saved. The phone package was not installed,
+  updated, cleared, or reconfigured. Production, the frozen hackathon test,
+  shared Caddy, and the public Git remote were not changed.
