Cycle 14 delta

• Retro carry-over closed — cycle 12/13 action "align environment.md with run-tests.sh" shipped as sole cycle theme.
• WIP baseline commit — cycle 13 artifacts were uncommitted at cycle 14 entry; user chose single chore: WIP pre-implement commit before AZ-1131 batch (consider splitting cycle commits at Step 17 going forward).

Top 3 Improvement Actions (cycle 15 candidates)

1. D-AZ795-1 — bump FluentValidation 12.0.0 → 12.1.1 (~1 SP) — sole remaining Low prod dependency finding (carried from cycle 13)
2. Perf gate preflight — script-check or document perf compose stack health before PT-01 (~0.5 SP) — cycle 13 first-run exit 7
3. PT-09 shell harness promotion — optional hardening of inventory perf sub-check (~0.5 SP)

Cycle 14 Verdict

Successful docs-hygiene cycle — operator-facing integration-test instructions now match the canonical run-tests.sh path. Zero production delta; smoke regression green.
