| - workflow#715: RegistryManifest status field + PluginSummary propagation | ||
| - workflow-registry#53: JSON schema extension for status enum | ||
| - workflow-registry#54: manifest population (35 external plugins marked verified/experimental) | ||
| - Plugin P0 deep-treats (6 repos): digitalocean, payments, agent, audit-chain, auth, eventbus, twilio + individual verified banners |

| 4. **codecov patch-coverage gate required admin override.** workflow#715 (RegistryManifest struct) needed `TestPluginSummary_StatusPropagation` test to cover the real `StaticRegistrySource` implementation. The test was added, but codecov initially flagged the output-formatter print branch as uncovered, requiring temporary override. Fix: add a test case that exercises the print path. | ||

| 5. **13 P2 plugins lack workflow-registry manifests.** These are banner-only PRs without registry entries to mark as verified/experimental. This was pre-identified as acceptable (workflow-registry#717 tracks the creation), but leaves inconsistent UX: `wfctl plugin list` won't surface these plugins' status field because they have no manifest. Future: pre-populate manifests in initial registry PR, or batch them with the banner PRs. |
