Job conclusions:
  test (3.12)  -> success
  test (3.13)  -> success
  e2e          -> failure  (23/145 chromium tests failed; 116 passed; 6 skipped)
  deploy       -> skipped  (e2e gate blocked deploy)

Root cause classification: REGRESSION introduced by this iteration.
- Prior deploy 25293348944 (HEAD b99220e, pre-iteration): journey-06-settings
  suite was 28/28 PASS.
- This iteration deploy 25295412755 (HEAD a9a90a9): journey-06-settings suite
  is 8/28 PASS, 20/28 FAIL.
- First failure: `journey-06-settings.spec.ts:18:7 - settings page loads with
  correct nav and breadcrumbs` - locator('a.header-nav-link--active[href="settings.html"]')
  never visible after 10s. This indicates the settings page is failing to
  finish initialization, so the active-nav class never gets applied.
- 2 journey-17 csrf-hydration tests also fail with the SAME pattern: locator
  resolved to hidden 124x (button never becomes visible). Both required
  #create-api-key-btn, which is a settings-page element. So 22 of the 23 e2e
  failures all map to "settings page does not finish initializing on cold load".
- 1 journey-sim-time-tile test (line 42) fails because the new test was
  written with a hard-coded expected datetime ("2024-06-15 13:42:07 UTC") but
  the runtime session emits "2025-05-26 00:00:03 UTC". This is a Team A test
  spec bug, NOT a regression - a sibling test at line 142 PASSES. The
  iteration's actual fix (CSS no-hyphenation rule) is verified by the passing
  142 test.

Suspected culprit (regression):
  - Most likely: Team D - dashboard/app.js + dashboard/index.html. Team D
    added a Total Cost column to the order log table (colspan 8 -> 9). If
    this introduced a JS error or a TR/TD count mismatch, settings.html
    init would still proceed normally - but settings.html and dashboard
    share dashboard/app.js. A throw during shared-module init could halt
    settings page boot. Needs investigation.
  - Possible: Team C - dashboard/settings.js. Hidden <input type="text"
    autocomplete="username" hidden> added before each plugin-card password
    input. This change is small and gated to plugin cards - should not
    affect header nav rendering on the Profile tab. Lower likelihood.
  - Unlikely: Team A (CSS-only) or Team B (server-side plugin probe).

Recommended next-iteration handoff:
  1. Reproduce locally: bash scripts/dev-server.sh & npx playwright test
     --config=tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts tests/e2e/journey-06-settings.spec.ts:18
  2. Bisect: revert each of {Team A, Team C, Team D} merge in turn against
     a9a90a9 and re-run the same test. The first revert that restores PASS
     is the culprit.
  3. Fix forward (do NOT revert this iteration's merges to main - they are
     audited and ledger-recorded; create a follow-up fix commit instead).

Phase 5.5 (retest) was SKIPPED per skill: "we do not infer ineffectiveness
from a failed deploy". pending_recurrences.jsonl is NOT appended.

Phase 6 final report still runs.
