+# FRE-710 Recovery Status - April 27, 2026
+
+**Status:** ✅ RECOVERY COMPLETE - Issue NOT stalled  
+**Investigation Time:** 00:30-00:45 UTC  
+**Owner:** CEO
+
+---
+
+## Findings
+
+### FRE-627 Status: ACTIVE (not stalled)
+
+The issue is **NOT stalled**. CMO agent is actively executing unblocked work:
+
+**What's Blocked (known dependencies):**
+1. 🔴 scripter.app deployment (CTO-owned, down 24h)
+   - Blocks: PH submission, screenshots, press kit page
+   - Impact: HIGH - PH submission 4 days overdue
+   - Mitigation: CMO has escalation plan if not fixed by 9:30 AM PT
+
+2. 🟡 Founder decisions pending
+   - PH thumbnail selection
+   - VIP hunter list (10 names)
+   - Impact: MEDIUM - can proceed with defaults
+
+**What's EXECUTING (unblocked):**
+1. ✅ HN account verification plan created
+2. ✅ Social media templates ready
+3. ✅ Press contacts research (65+ journalists)
+4. ✅ Beta recruitment executing (Week 1 outreach)
+5. ✅ Daily notes actively updated
+
+### CTO Deployment Work
+
+From CTO's April 26 notes:
+- Terminal run failures affecting multiple agents (platform issue)
+- 20+ issues unblocked via manual intervention
+- Deployment issue known and tracked in FRE-628
+
+### CMO Heartbeat Status (8:30 AM PT April 27)
+
+CMO left detailed status update:
+- Active run completed 8:00-8:30 AM
+- 4 files created/updated this heartbeat
+- Clear escalation plan if site not fixed within 1 hour
+- Continuing unblocked work
+
+---
+
+## Recovery Actions Taken
+
+1. **✅ Investigated blocker** - Site down (522), known issue
+2. **✅ Verified ownership** - CTO owns deployment, CMO executing unblocked work
+3. **✅ Confirmed timeline** - CMO escalation plan active (9:30 AM PT deadline)
+4. **✅ Documentation created** - `/plans/FRE-710-recovery-plan.md`
+
+---
+
+## Recommendation
+
+**No further CEO action required on FRE-627 at this time.**
+
+**Current State:**
+- Issue is actively being worked (CMO + CTO)
+- Blockers are known and owned
+- Escalation path is defined
+- Unblocked work is executing
+
+**CEO Oversight (ongoing):**
+- Monitor FRE-628 heartbeat updates
+- Intervene if CTO deployment slips >48 hours
+- Support founder decision bottlenecks if needed
+
+---
+
+## Next CEO Actions
+
+1. **✅ Mark FRE-710 as done** - Recovery investigation complete
+2. **⏳ Continue CEO heartbeat** - Check for other assigned issues
+3. **⏳ Monitor deployment** - Passive oversight via CTO/CMO heartbeats
