Three defects found while running the release checklist against a live
backend, all on main.
1. Every TechLog route registered `access: "public"`, including the whole
Studio surface. `decideRouteAccessForDefinition` was therefore a no-op
for Studio: a signed-out visitor who typed /studio, /studio/documents,
or /studio/assets got the Studio shell rendered, and the page went on
to issue Studio API calls. Access is now derived from the spec's own
`layoutGroup`, so a newly added Studio route is gated by construction
rather than by remembering to restate it.
Verified against a production-profile build: /studio* now renders the
sign-in surface, / and /explore are unchanged, and after signing in
the router returns to the originally requested Studio screen.
2. `public/release-manifest.json` still declared the contract set at
2.0.0 while the vendored contract had moved to 3.0.0 (eb86708). Boot
verification fails closed on that mismatch, so `pnpm dev` served a
blank screen. Regenerated from the same producer `dist/` uses.
3. `release-manifest.test.ts` asserted the same stale 2.0.0. The literal
is deliberately independent of `EXPECTED_CONTRACT_SET_PACKAGES` (see
the comment above it), so it is updated in place, not derived.
Also drops a dead `= null` initializer that failed `no-useless-assignment`.
check:types, lint, check:architecture, check:tech-log-contract and
check:dev-release-manifest all pass. test:all is 1818 passed with one
pre-existing load-dependent flake (provider-guardian-transaction, passes
in isolation, untouched by this change).

`corepack pnpm dev` did not boot. Plain `vite` serves
`public/release-manifest.json` verbatim, and that hand-maintained fixture still
declared `"packages": []` after the first real contract contribution was
registered. `verifyContractSet` runs unconditionally at boot — before any
adapter is chosen, so in the default `MOCK` mode as much as in `HTTP` — saw the
build had compiled `@tech-log/studio-contract` and failed closed with
`CONTRACT_SET_PACKAGE_MISSING`. Production builds were never affected:
`scripts/generate-build-manifest.ts` derives `dist/release-manifest.json`'s
block from the same composed set.
Editing the fixture by hand is not the fix — it had already gone stale twice,
once when the package first appeared and once when the contract moved 2.0.0 ->
3.0.0, because every regeneration changes the package digest. So
`generate:tech-log-contract` now refreshes the block itself, as its last step
and through a dynamic import so it reads the canonical source it just wrote.
`generate:dev-release-manifest` does the same refresh on its own.
The composed set can also change without the contract being regenerated — a
contribution added to or removed from `installed-contract-contributions.ts`
moves it. Tying the refresh to contract generation is therefore necessary but
not sufficient; the CI gate that follows is what closes that half.

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.

Carries eight template commits: the provider sandbox actually running, release
admission to a named environment, the product feature manifest with its runtime
kill switch, architecture and documentation rules that match what is enforced,
the removability fixtures, and the browser, visual and performance evidence.
Product identity is unchanged. `package.json` keeps `tech-log-frontend` and the
catalog keeps the Tech Log naming; the home page was not in the delta. The
visual baselines are this product's own — the template's were excluded from the
transplant and these were regenerated here, where the only difference is the
platform overview's new product-feature section.
What this repository gains operationally: `config/runtime/{local,development,
staging,production}.json` with `FE-GATE-027` refusing an artifact whose runtime
document does not match the environment it is being admitted to, and
`FEATURE_OVERRIDES` for taking an installed feature out of service without a
rebuild.
Verified here: eight gates green, build green, visual 5/5, and 1,858 of 1,859
tests in the suites that do not need a sandbox — the one failure passes in
isolation and is a jsdom lazy-chunk timeout under parallel load. The provider
suites cannot run on this machine at all: `kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged
_userns=1` makes `bwrap --unshare-net` fail, reproducible without any code from
either repository.
