One frontend file — the transcribe button hidden in the file viewer. No schema, no dependencies, nothing to verify by query. Also the first real firing of the rebuilt Platform Deployer commander, which is why this is the release it gets: if the loop misbehaves the blast radius is a button that was already invisible.

One file per release, and one report per release.

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.
