# Golden head handoff — releases#318 HANDED-FILE — doyle -> deployah, 2026-09-22 04:00Z

Golden head: 41b1f0299c957ee328d2781058b05eeb2a51b508 == origin/main (ff-only chain from v0.71.0 tag 7e35ba43).
Target: v0.72.0, counter 108. Every member PR ff'd at its tested sha: #239 #240 #241 #242 #243 #245 #244 #246.
Pre-handoff gate on the exact sha (isolated worktree, scrubbed env): cargo build --workspace --all-targets 0; clippy --workspace --all-targets 0; traceable-reqs check 941/941 0 findings; xtask check OK. Receipt: .spt/preserved/318/golden-head/compile-gate.txt (the first docs-check line is my wrong verb, exit 2 = usage; corrected run follows).

Greenlit form (deployah verifies before running): milestone #318 members #317 #319 #320 #254 #311 #312, all WIP/landed. #319 and #320 were ADDED after greenlight, each comment-recorded on #318 (5768387503, 5769389874) before build; nothing dropped. Per-request landing comments on #317 #254 #312 #311; #319/#320 are covered by #318's W2 comment 5769904355.
Field acceptance: two-node 7/7 on the W2 candidate (.spt/preserved/318/hertz/w2-two-node/).
Known-limits carried in CHANGELOG: #319 rollback to 0.71.0 fails closed (serving 500 until roll-forward); #320 protection needs a daemon restart to cover new deliveries.
Red golden -> hand back to doyle, RCA-first. Post-merge unit reuse (IR-144) is live on push runs.
