+# Task Completion Report
+
+> **SOP**: SOP-VLAB-PROJ-SYNC-01  
+> **Purpose**: Mandatory post-task association update documentation  
+> **Task**: MPLP-VALIDATION-LAB-CI-STABILIZATION-01
+
+---
+
+## 1. Task ID / Scope
+
+**Task ID**: MPLP-VALIDATION-LAB-CI-STABILIZATION-01  
+**Scope**: Stabilize Validation Lab CI gates after canonical checkout recovery.  
+**Date**: 2026-05-29
+
+---
+
+## 2. Files Changed (by Repository)
+
+### Validation_Lab
+- `.gitignore` - ignores generated raw lint audit output.
+- `app/rulesets/[ruleset_id]/page.tsx` - replaces external Golden Flow wording with Lifecycle Guarantee wording.
+- `governance/NAVIGATION_MAP.yaml` - records the approved evidence producer route exception for the disallowed examples prefix.
+- `governance/reports/task-completion/MPLP-VALIDATION-LAB-CI-STABILIZATION-01.md` - records this SOP task completion report.
+- `lib/gates/reason-codes/patterns.ts` - accepts ruleset-not-applicable reason-code pattern.
+- `lib/proof/proof-bundle.ts` - verifies proofs against the accepted key registry for the proof key id.
+- `lib/rulesets/ruleset-1.0/adjudicate.ts` - supplies fallback reason code for unexpected legacy verdict states.
+- `lib/runtime-checks/reason-codes/patterns.ts` - mirrors accepted reason-code pattern for runtime checks.
+- `reports/lint-raw.json` - removes committed raw lint report containing source snapshots.
+- `scripts/audit/semantic/check-page-semantics.ts` - adds Total Gaps line expected by semantic CI.
+- `scripts/ci/link-integrity-gate.mjs` - honors explicit disallowed-route exceptions.
+- `scripts/ci/toplevel-whitelist-gate.mjs` - registers existing top-level governance, report, runner, schema, audit, content, and plan directories.
+- `scripts/gates/unified/gate-unified-ui-version-strip-01.ts` - recognizes the global AppShell VersionStrip instead of requiring duplicate page-local rendering.
+- `scripts/generate-curated-runs.mjs` - preserves existing frozen generated artifact values so `generate:curated` stays consistent with release manifest hashes.
+- `vitest.config.ts` - excludes Playwright e2e specs from the unit test runner.
