## 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
