Every target host ended at the tag with libvips 8.18.6 and ffmpeg present; macbruno gained ffmpeg via the plan's per-host brew step. Schema unchanged and verified as such, so no db:push ran anywhere. One deviation: plugins:update runs before bun install in the standard steps, and it imports the server graph, which now reaches thumbnails.ts -> sharp. That fails on any host where sharp is genuinely new. Ran install first instead — same steps, other order — and recorded it as a finding for the next plan rather than editing the prompt mid-rollout.

The plan is written by hand before the release commit. The report is written by the deploy commander afterwards and pushed back here.
A release is a tag, deploy/<version>, and nothing else triggers a deploy — not a commit message,
not a branch. A tag cannot be written into prose by accident, which a code word can and which every
document about deploying does.
What marks a release deployed is LOCAL: $OFFICER_ROOT/data/deploys/<version>.done. Not the report.
If the lock were the pushed report, a failed push would mean the release looked undeployed and the next
tick would roll it out again — and pushes here fail for unrelated reasons. So the report is an artefact,
valuable and not load-bearing.
