+## PR #291 Finding
+
+PR #291 is open, non-draft, and based on `main`, but GitHub reports `mergeStateStatus=DIRTY` and `mergeable=CONFLICTING` for head `8342f39dedeb29f97b55be7874e3ee5e3ca9a057`. Its diff against current main changes:
+
+- `README.md`;
+- `src/test/java/com/richmond423/loadbalancerpro/api/EnterpriseLabCockpitFramingDocumentationTest.java`;
+- `src/test/java/com/richmond423/loadbalancerpro/api/ReadmeVisibilityDocumentationTest.java`.
+
+The README intent from PR #291 appears to be cleaner cockpit wording while preserving boundary language. Current main already contains later Advanced README and trust-contract work, so PR #291 should be treated as stale or superseded until a human reviewer decides otherwise.
+
+Recommended action for #291:
+
+- do not merge while it is conflicting;
+- do not close or modify it in this audit campaign;
+- prefer a fresh, separately scoped README wording PR from current main if the wording still needs adjustment;
+- if no longer useful, close only with explicit human approval.
+
+## Hygiene Rules For Open PRs
+
+- Do not merge an open PR with pending, failed, cancelled, stale, duplicate-only, missing, or ambiguous required checks.
+- Do not treat an old green check as current evidence after the branch is conflicting, stale, or behind current main.
+- Do not combine dependency updates, workflow updates, Docker image changes, replay/evidence behavior, cockpit polish, and audit documentation into the same PR.
+- Do not close, delete branches, rebase, or force-push unrelated branches without explicit human instruction.
+- Preserve README, AGENTS.md, BUILD_CONTRACT.md, Reviewer Trust Map, and not-proven boundary language.
+
+## Not-Proven Boundaries
+
+This open PR hygiene audit does not prove production readiness, production certification, live-cloud validation, real-tenant validation, runtime enforcement, load/stress/benchmarking, throughput/p95/p99 evidence, replay/evidence/report/storage/export proof, or broader automation.
