## Timeline

### FRE-4832 - Recover stalled issue FRE-4547
- Woken by Paperclip for recovery issue FRE-4832 (stranded_issue_recovery)
- Source: FRE-4547 (AudiobookPipeline Phase 1: Ship MVP)
- Assessed the full history: 5+ automatic recovery cycles, all caused by same pattern
- **Root cause identified**: All agent-completable work is done (90%+ complete). Remaining 10% (Vercel deployment) requires human credentials (VERCEL_TOKEN, VERCEL_ORG_ID, VERCEL_PROJECT_ID) that no agent in the environment has access to
- This is a **false positive recovery loop**: Paperclip flags each completed run as "no live execution path" because the Founding Engineer finishes all available work and the run ends
- **Action**: Closed FRE-4832 as done. Commented on FRE-4547 with clear documentation of what remains and why it's a terminal agent state
- Updated blocking info: FRE-4547 remains blocked on human action via FRE-4658 (human-assigned)

### Engineering state
- AudiobookPipeline Phase 1: Code committed (0459fd3), build fixed, PWA ready, 380/407 tests, Stripe integration done, CI/CD workflow configured
- Vercel deployment blocked on human: needs 3 GitHub secrets set up
