The template's demonstration screens exist to explain the template. A product
replaces them with its domain, so deleting them is the expected end state — but
two gates were coupled to them, and the merge accommodated that coupling instead
of fixing it.
product-features.test.ts derives its own scope now: a registry must gate on the
manifest when it imports a module belonging to a manifest-declared feature. The
previous fix put installed-feature-runtimes.tsx in the exempt list, which
silenced the guard for that file permanently. Verified by removing the manifest
reference from installed-feature-adapters.ts and watching the guard fail; a
counter asserts the sweep still watches at least one file.
product-feature-switch.test.tsx exercises the kill switch end to end again. The
mechanism is the ownership lookup plus isFeatureActive, which has nothing to do
with which screens ship, so the ownership map is the fixture: one real
registered route attributed to a real installed feature, with the product's own
router, components and codecs.
That restoration exposed a real gap. The navigation-withdrawal half is not
implemented here: it lives in the template's PrimaryNavigation and this product
does not render the template's AppShell at all — the public header is a
hand-written list of paths. A disabled feature's route is refused by the router
but its link would still be advertised. Harmless only while no feature-owned
route is navigable, which is now asserted so the gap cannot ship silently.

Integrates the frontend template sync (a0fbafb → 5434760) into the TechLog UI
migration. Merged in this direction so every conflict is resolved and proved in
the worktree; main is only fast-forwarded afterwards and never holds a state
that was not verified here.
15 conflicts. The rule throughout: keep the template's mechanism, keep the
product's content, and never invent a third state neither branch would accept.
The template's product manifest and its runtime feature kill switch are adopted.
The route registry is deliberately not composed from contract.routes: the
reference feature still declares screens this product deleted, and reducing over
them would register paths with no component behind them. ROUTE_FEATURE_OWNER is
narrowed to registered routes for the same reason. The first resolution did
compose from contract.routes and was rejected by product-features.test.ts.
Three files pinned counts and a digest describing the gate contract. Neither
side's numbers describe the merged config/ci/gates.json, so they were recomputed
from it rather than chosen: 27 gates, 82 commands, 94 command references, 107
evidence references, 128 artifacts, shape sha256 5063586d.
README.md and docs/accessibility/manual-checklist.md now enumerate this
product's 27 routes, which the template's own verify:documentation requires.
product-feature-switch.test.tsx was rewritten around the invariant that still
applies here — no registered route without a component — rather than deleted
with the screens it used to exercise.
docs/operations/template-merge-2026-08-17.md records every decision, the gate
results, and the three follow-ups this merge deliberately did not decide.
