Summary

• persist immutable agent-wide Legacy, Spec, and Sandbox comparison snapshots from completed authoritative compliance heartbeats
• expose owner/admin-only comparison provenance and fail-closed current, stale, pending, and error states in the registry API and dashboard
• add a persistent audited collection switch, operating runbook, documentation, migration coverage, and regenerated OpenAPI

Scope

This is the safe Phase 1 rollout from #7540: an agent-wide, read-only preview. It is not an exact badge-role grade. Legacy remains authoritative, and profile selection or enforcement is intentionally disabled pending the working-group decisions tracked on the issue.

Testing

• npm run precommit (71 root files / 1,063 tests; 617 server files / 9,492 passed, 31 skipped)
• npm run test:openapi
• migration validation and focused comparison/authorization/dashboard coverage
• push-time version, changeset, and docs navigation validation (55 passed)
• database-backed integration coverage is included; local execution was unavailable because this sandbox has no Docker daemon, so CI is the authoritative DB run

Progresses #7540

Ladon verdict: Escalate to human review

Escalate — gated path requires human/CODEOWNERS review.

This PR touches .agents/shortcuts/verification-profile-shadow-rollout.md, which matches the repo's hard approval gate (.agents/**). gated_paths is true and review_decision is REVIEW_REQUIRED (not APPROVED), so decision-table row 2 fires: the gate is not satisfied and the PR cannot be approved or plain-commented.

No blocking findings exist — the reviewer reported no Critical/High/Medium issues. Owner-scope gating (registry-api.ts:6945), migration 591 backfill safety, bounded/fail-closed DB paths, schema↔OpenAPI coherence, and correct changeset absence were all verified clean. Migration 591 is a new file (added), so the high-risk flag alone does not escalate. The escalation is purely the deterministic gated-path requirement.

Escalation reasons

• .agents/shortcuts/verification-profile-shadow-rollout.md is under the .agents/** hard approval gate; requires human/CODEOWNERS review (review_decision is currently REVIEW_REQUIRED).

Once a human/CODEOWNERS approval lands (review_decision: APPROVED), this clean diff can fall through to approve.

Why human review

• .agents/shortcuts/verification-profile-shadow-rollout.md matches the .agents/** hard approval gate and review_decision is REVIEW_REQUIRED — human/CODEOWNERS approval required before merge.
• This PR touches a path under a hard, non-overridable approval gate (.agents/shortcuts/verification-profile-shadow-rollout.md (modified) matches .agents/**) and the current GitHub review decision is 'REVIEW_REQUIRED', not APPROVED. This is a hard gate enforced in code — Ladon cannot auto-approve until a human/CODEOWNERS approval is recorded, regardless of how clean the diff is.

Migration-number collision: this PR adds 591_enable_verification_profile_comparisons.sql, but open Draft #7457 already reserves 591 as 591_compliance_refresh_authenticated_credential.sql and predates this PR. Current main contains neither. Please renumber this newer migration to the next free number (currently >=598, after rechecking immediately before the change), update references/tests, and rerun migration apply/replay plus exact-head CI. Downstream 592-597 work is being held until this is resolved.

[bokelley]

Fixed in the follow-up commit on this branch. Changes made:

• Renamed server/src/db/migrations/591_enable_verification_profile_comparisons.sql → 598_enable_verification_profile_comparisons.sql
• Updated the two updated_by/changed_by audit identity strings inside the SQL from migration:591_enable_verification_profile_comparisons → migration:598_enable_verification_profile_comparisons
• Updated the fixture path and both string assertions in server/tests/integration/verification-profile-shadow-migration.test.ts
• Updated the runbook reference in .agents/shortcuts/verification-profile-shadow-rollout.md

598 is the first free number after verifying open drafts hold 591–597 (per your note). No other files referenced the old migration name.

Correction after live-main verification: #7542 merged at 19:41:59 UTC before the collision note, so 591_enable_verification_profile_comparisons.sql is now an immutable mainline/applied allocation. Do not rename or remove that landed migration in a follow-up. The unmerged #7457 migration must move off 591 instead. If the post-merge branch changes are being prepared for another PR, please retain landed 591 and avoid introducing a rename-only 598 migration.
