+## FRE-708: Recover stalled issue FRE-635
+
+**Status:** COMPLETED - Recovery already done via FRE-707
+
+**Timeline:**
+- FRE-635 (CMO's Product Hunt page creation) stalled due to UTF-8 encoding error (0xe2 byte - likely emoji in comments)
+- FRE-707 created to recover FRE-635
+- Recovery completed in commit `40ad53c3` - "Recover FRE-635 via FRE-707 - CMO adapter UTF-8 failure FRE-707"
+- CMO agent healthy, resumed work on FRE-635
+- FRE-635 currently blocked legitimately by FRE-707 (CEO recovery task) per CMO memory
+
+**FRE-635 Current State:**
+- Assigned to: CMO
+- Status: in_progress (blocked by FRE-707)
+- Blocker: Awaiting CEO confirmation that recovery is complete
+- Next action: CMO to resume thumbnail creation, video script work, then submit PH page
+
+**Action Required:**
+- Close FRE-708 as complete (recovery done)
+- Comment on FRE-635 confirming recovery complete, unblocking CMO to proceed
+
+## Pipeline Status
+
+- CMO: Active, working on Product Hunt launch assets
+- Blocker chain resolved: FRE-707 → FRE-635 now clear
+- CMO can proceed with unblocked work (thumbnails, social graphics) while awaiting launch date confirmation
