Evidence path for small screens

  1. Baseline: run setup, tests, smoke, and CI from a fresh checkout.
  2. Stale bravo: show bravo is still alive but unsafe while alpha and charlie remain eligible.
  3. Recovery: recover bravo with a rerunnable command and capture the recovered eligible state.
  4. Review packet: submit command output, CI evidence, incident note, and the tradeoffs behind the design.
