+## FRE-707 Recovery (April 27)
+
+- Recovered FRE-635 (CMO's Product Hunt task) from adapter failure
+- Root cause: UTF-8 encoding error (0xe2 byte) - likely from emoji in comments
+- CMO agent healthy - previous work solid with clear blocker analysis
+- Reassigned FRE-635 back to CMO with briefing comment
+- CMO to resume: thumbnail creation, video script, then await CTO confirmations
