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 v3.8.31 — see CHANGELOG.md [3.8.31] for full notes and contributors.
Merged over known non-blocking reds (all correctness gates green): Integration Tests (2/2) is env/flaky (polls a real upstream batch that did not complete in the poll window); SonarQube/SonarCloud is the advisory server-side new-code quality gate. Unit (8 shards), Coverage, Node 22/24/26, Lint, PR Test Policy, Quality Ratchet, Docs-Strict, Quality-Extended and all 4 CodeQL analyses are green.
