 - Replaced recoverable production panic paths with typed or degraded outcomes and documented the retained iterative-topology invariants.
 - Split topology, Git adapter, App, and tree-rendering responsibilities into private focused modules without changing the CLI, rendering, performance, or Git safety contracts.
 - Documented Graphite 1.8.6 compatibility stewardship, safe fallback behavior, package invariants, release procedures, and the complete user-facing feature set.
+- Fixed two environment-sensitive CI assertions by verifying selected trunk foreground/background behavior with and without `NO_COLOR`, and by testing deadline-bounded work directly instead of relying on runner wall-clock timing.
+- Made dependency policy run on every pull request so the required `cargo-deny` branch-protection check cannot be skipped by path filtering.

 - The open-source alpha identity is `0.1.0-alpha.1`. Cargo publication is disabled; GitHub source and two-architecture macOS prerelease assets are the intended distribution paths.
 - The executable exposes a narrow documented runtime facade. White-box integration coverage is crate-internal and benchmarks use a feature-gated benchmark facade rather than public application internals.
 - Release policy includes pinned macOS 15 ARM64/Intel CI, a stable-Rust compatibility lane, cargo-deny policy, Dependabot, fail-closed release aggregation, checksums, and artifact attestations.
+- Dependency policy runs on every pull request because `cargo-deny` is a required `main` check; path filtering would leave unrelated pull requests permanently unmergeable.
 - Core responsibilities are split behind private modules: topology projection/index/emission, Git inventory/mutation, App state/overlays/archive/mutation, and tree details/connectors.
 - Recoverable production paths return typed or degraded outcomes. Remaining topology `expect` calls represent documented iterative-emission programmer invariants.
+- Render tests cover both ordinary color output and `NO_COLOR`; selected colored rows use the identity accent as their background with a black identity glyph. Deadline tests assert bounded work counts instead of scheduler-sensitive wall-clock thresholds.
 - The installed release binary is 3,713,072 bytes. In a synthetic 2,001-branch repository the preceding release measured about 15.4 MB RSS after startup, warmed to about 19.3 MB with Archive evidence, and plateaued at 19.856-19.888 MB after 100 refresh requests and repeated view/order/layout/navigation toggles.
 - Release benchmarks measured about 0.108 ms per 500-branch projection, 1.10 ms per 5,000-branch projection, and 0.94 ms per projection of one 5,000-branch deep stack. A 5,000-level/10,000-branch deep comb emits iteratively without call-stack recursion; broad attach-parent lookup is indexed.
 - `stackmap 0.0.0` is installed at `/Users/matt/.cargo/bin/stackmap` and resolves on `PATH`.
