* Make release dry-run diagnostics fail closed
Select the installed Chromium project with retries disabled, replace the unconditional pass with fail-closed API and rendered-UI readiness assertions, retain actionable runtime evidence, and guard the release workflow contract against regression.
Contract-Neutral: Release diagnostic and workflow verification hardening only; no product runtime contract changes.
* Expose stable E2E failure identities
Project Playwright JUnit failures into bounded GitHub annotations so repeated stable-tier failures can be diagnosed without rerunning or weakening the gate. Keep the full reports and runtime logs as the forensic record, and cover annotation parsing and escaping with deterministic tests.
Contract-Neutral: This changes CI failure observability only and does not alter product runtime behavior, stable-tier membership, retries, or verdict semantics.

The dormant self-hosted business tier opens for public checkout under the
dials the owner approved on 2026-08-20: \$399/year annual-only, unlimited
seats, 365-day history, next-business-day support target, Pro-identical
features per cloud-paid Extension Point 26. Newly issued Pro
subscriptions carry a 3-seat max_users limit on new Stripe price ids;
previously issued licenses keep their unlimited posture because their
plan entries are untouched. The 2026-08-08 opt-in presentation posture is
unchanged: Business appears only through the public pricing-model payload
and checkout, and no proactive in-product surface returns.
Adds the decision record, resolves the decision in status.json, lifts the
EP26 dormancy sentence, and extends the subsystem_lookup decision-id pin.
License-server and landing changes land separately in pulse-pro.
