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).
Release v3.8.32 — see CHANGELOG.md [3.8.32] for the full list. Merged via --admin over documented non-blocking checks: CodeQL alerts ratchet (#665 fixed by #4457/#4462, auto-closes on main rescan), Integration Tests (env-flaky batch-upstream), SonarCloud/SonarQube (advisory new-code).
