-# Approved CLIC snapshot update, November 2026
-
-This follows the existing startup-update workflow. The image contains the
-checksum-pinned update plan; the one-shot updater checks live drift, editor
-permission and unfinished private work before applying through audited services.
-Web, both export workers and the archive worker wait for its completion receipt.
-A conflict blocks startup. Existing database/media mounts and publisher settings
-remain unchanged. Keep the normal PSI maintenance and full backup procedure.
-
-Scope: metadata corrections on 5597 existing public versions, 87 scientific
-successor versions and four auxiliary activities. All original inventory
-snapshots are retained, with no hard deletion or standalone entity merge.
-Existing scientific holds remain deferred. Restarts do not reapply the release.

-Source: `sacchi_r/clic` commit `8e95ba7f4ef4465881b6bf6026c44f6e57c5dba2`.
-
-Validation:
-- 2465 non-browser checks passed, including the additional catalogue-header
-  regression; four PostgreSQL-only unit cases skipped in SQLite verification.
-- All 91 browser checks passed.
-- Full original-snapshot PostgreSQL rehearsal applied all 91 versions and
-  preserved every original scientific record and the private test records.
-- Independent export comparison matches all 3509 datasets and 5688 versions.
-- A failed rehearsal rolled back to exactly the original database state.
-- The published image verifies its completion receipt and returns `already_applied` on restart.
-
-The image contains the frozen payload, and the hosting PR only changes the five
-CLIC image references and release selectors. No new migration or volume change. Root Compose validation passes; all other service settings are unchanged.
-Do not merge this draft before the final release review.
