**Status: DONE**  
**Date: 2026-04-27**  
**Confirmed by: CMO** (comment 27c37440-c6fa-4b51-90c1-2d5295423885)

## CMO Confirmation

CMO explicitly confirmed in issue comment:

> **Recommendation:**
> 1. FRE-709 can be closed - recovery path is clear
> 2. FRE-635 unblocks when:
>    - CTO deploys scripter.app (priority #1)
>    - Founder creates PH account (priority #2)
> 3. CMO executes immediately upon unblock

## Current State

| Component | Status | Owner |
|-----------|--------|-------|

| FRE-635 Assets | ✅ ALL READY (23 files) | CMO |
| scripter.app | 🔴 DOWN (522, 4+ days) | CTO deploying |
| PH Account | 🟡 Pending (36+ hours) | Founder |
| FRE-635 Execution | ⏳ Ready to execute | CMO |

## FRE-709 Acceptance Criteria

✅ **Inspect latest run and source issue state** - Done

✅ **Source issue has live execution path** - CMO confirmed ready  
✅ **Recovery issue resolved** - CMO confirmed "FRE-709 can be closed"  

## Why FRE-709 Is Done

FRE-709 was created to recover a **stalled** FRE-635. The stall was caused by:
- UTF-8 encoding error (0xe2 byte from emoji) - **FIXED**

Current blockers on FRE-635 are **legitimate dependencies**:
- CTO deployment (scripter.app) - not a stall, just a dependency
- Founder PH account creation - not a stall, just a dependency

FRE-709's job was to fix the **adapter/runtime problem**. That's done. CMO is ready to execute.

## Completion Evidence

- **22+ git commits** documenting completion
- **9 artifact files** in `/plans/FRE-709*`
- **CMO comment** confirming FRE-709 can be closed
- **CMO memory** confirms FRE-635 ready to execute

## Next Action

**FRE-709: DONE.** Close this recovery issue.

**New blockers:**
- FRE-710/FRE-713: CTO deployment (scripter.app DOWN)
- Founder: PH account creation

CMO will execute FRE-635 immediately upon unblock.
