Merged into release/v3.8.45. CI merge-integrity fast-gates (changelog-integrity + agent-skills-sync) + pre-flight hermetic mode. O gate novo detectou 11 SKILL.md gerados fora de sync (drift pré-existente no tip: omni-api-keys endpoints, omni-github-skills do #6186) — regenerados neste PR, Merge-integrity GREEN no CI. Reds restantes base-red (dast-smoke/file-size drift/live-data flaky). Testes novos 17/17.
v3.8.40 cycle integration → main. All test gates green (Unit/Integration/Coverage/Node-compat/Quality-Ratchet). The only red check, 'PR Test Policy', is the test-masking heuristic firing on the cumulative ~57-commit release diff (legitimate assert consolidations already reviewed per-PR — Gemini CLI removal #5246, retired GPT models #5280, provider catalog refreshes); overridden with --admin per the documented release-PR convention. CodeQL/SonarQube advisory scans non-blocking; #5278's code already passed CodeQL on main. Homologated on VPS 192.168.0.15 (v3.8.40 healthy).
Integrated into release/v3.8.8. Applied review fixes: moved the SELECT 1 into a pingDb() db helper (no raw SQL in route, Hard Rule #5) + the 503 catch no longer leaks err.message (Hard Rule #12). Thanks @herjarsa!
