The workflow DOES wire `token: ${{ secrets.GH_PAT }}` into the `submodules: recursive` checkout, so the wiring is correct; `GH_PAT` itself lost read access to `consolelabs/content` (expired, or consolelabs SSO authorization lapsed). No successful deploy in the last 30 runs (broken since before this mega-goal). Consequence: the merged Arcade Neko reskin (07) is NOT live, and merging content PR #4 will NOT publish, until this is fixed. · prerequisite: Han regenerates / re-SSO-authorizes `GH_PAT` with read access to `consolelabs/content` + updates the Actions secret, then re-runs the deploy.

+We're back. This log went quiet after Feb 2024, and we're reviving it as the place where the lab narrates itself, monthly. So consider this both a June report and a "hey, we're alive" wave. 👋
+
+## Shipped
+
+**This log, revived** 🔍 (log.console.so). The Hugo build had bit-rotted on the current toolchain. We fixed it, adopted our shared dev kit, and wired the repo context back up so the monthly report has a home again. You're reading the result.
+
+**Dependency catch-up** across mochi-toolkit, mochi-typeset, mochi-web, tono-web and friends: go-ethereum, golang.org/x/crypto, golang.org/x/net, quic-go, otel, and a pile of GitHub Actions all moved forward. Unglamorous, but this is how you don't get paged for a year-old CVE.
+
+## Thinking
+
+Small but sharp cuts both ways: small enough to actually fix the boring stuff (a bit-rotted build, a swarm of dependency bumps), sharp enough to not let it slide. The lab's whole pitch is safe, accessible tooling, and "safe" starts with the unglamorous hygiene most teams skip.
+
+## Next
+
+Less code, fewer bots, smaller bill. That is the vibe for July. 🐾

+# Proof: sub-goal 05, first real monthly post (UAT), HELD-FINAL
+
+This is the mega-goal terminus and the one PR the loop does NOT merge. The loop
+prepared everything below and STOPPED; the remaining steps are Han's
+(fix the deploy secret, edit, merge, sign off).
+
+## Status: OPENED + HELD, READY for Han's review + merge (deploy unblocked 2026-06-28)
+
+All of 05's code prerequisites are merged: the writing tool (02, PR #3), the
+draft-only publish flow (03, PR #7), and the Arcade Neko reskin (07, PR #6). The
+first month's draft is written and staged (content PR #4). The deploy-secret blocker
+that previously held this is RESOLVED (see below): `GH_PAT` was fixed 2026-06-28, the
+deploy now runs green, and the Arcade Neko reskin is LIVE. The only thing left is
+Han's end-review: review + merge content PR #4 (one caveat on the dispatch token,
+below). The post is not yet live only because it has not been merged.
+
+## The drafted post
+
+- Generated by `logwriter` for June 2026 (155 merged PRs across the consolelabs org
+  + tieubao/neko + tieubao/console-labs), then privacy-trimmed per `docs/voice.md`
+  (the full draft narrated unannounced NFT work, so only the non-embargoed version is
+  committed).
+- Committed for the record: `docs/proof/05-first-post-draft.md`.
+- Staged into the content vault by the 03 flow: **consolelabs/content PR #4**
+  (`blog/console-log-2026-06.md`, branch `log/2026-06`), open and awaiting merge.
+
+## RESOLVED 2026-06-28: deploy GH_PAT fixed
+
+> Han minted a fine-grained `github-console-deployer-token` (read on `consolelabs/content`)
+> and set it as the org `GH_PAT`. The "Deploy Hugo from Obsidian notes" workflow now
+> passes; the Arcade Neko reskin (07) is LIVE. The original blocker text is kept below
+> for the record.
+>
+> **New, smaller caveat for the publish step:** content's "Dispatch Workflow"
+> (`consolelabs/content/.github/workflows/main.yml`) pings log.console.so via a
+> SEPARATE secret, `CONSOLE_PAT`, last set 2023-09-11 (almost certainly also expired).
+> So merging content PR #4 may not auto-fire the deploy. Workaround that needs no
+> secret fix: after merging, run `gh workflow run dispatch.yml -R consolelabs/log.console.so`
+> (the "Update submodules" job) to pull the new post and deploy. Full fix (optional):
+> set `CONSOLE_PAT` to a token with `actions: write` on log.console.so.
+
+### Original blocker (RESOLVED, kept for the record)
+
+The log.console.so deploy (`.github/workflows/main.yml`, "Deploy Hugo from Obsidian
+notes") had been FAILING on every run since before this mega-goal (no success in the
+last 30 runs). It failed checking out the private `vault` submodule:
+
+```
+git submodule update --init --recursive
+  Cloning into '.../vault'...
+  remote: Repository not found.
+  fatal: repository 'https://github.com/consolelabs/content.git/' not found
+  ##[error]Failed to clone 'vault' a second time, aborting
+```
+
+The workflow correctly wires `token: ${{ secrets.GH_PAT }}` into the
+`submodules: recursive` checkout, so the wiring is not the bug. `GH_PAT` itself can no
+longer read the private `consolelabs/content` repo: it is expired, or its consolelabs
+SSO authorization lapsed. The loop must not rotate secrets (pointer rule), so this is
+Han's to fix.
+
+Consequence: until `GH_PAT` regains access to `consolelabs/content`, NOTHING deploys,
+including the merged Arcade Neko reskin (07). The live site still shows the old skin.
+
+## Han's path to close 05 (the end-review)
+
+1. ~~Fix the deploy secret.~~ DONE 2026-06-28 (`GH_PAT` fixed; deploy green; reskin live).
+2. **Review the draft.** Read content PR #4 (`gh pr view 4 -R consolelabs/content --web`).
+   Edit to taste on the `log/2026-06` branch (it is a draft; light pass expected). The
+   committed draft is privacy-trimmed; PR #4 holds the version that publishes.
+3. **Publish:** merge **consolelabs/content PR #4**, then run
+   `gh workflow run dispatch.yml -R consolelabs/log.console.so` (the manual dispatch
+   sidesteps the stale `CONSOLE_PAT`). The post goes live at `/console-log-2026-06/`.
+4. **Capture proof + sign off:** screenshot the live post + the homepage listing it
+   into this folder (`05-live-post.png`, `05-home-listing.png`), and fill the block below.
+
+## PUBLISHED 2026-06-28

+Han authorized publish ("update metadata of the site then proceed to publish"). Flow run:
+1. metadata refresh merged (PR #11), 2. content PR #4 merged (post -> content main),
+3. `gh workflow run dispatch.yml` (manual, because `CONSOLE_PAT` auto-dispatch is stale),
+4. Update-submodules -> Deploy -> gh-pages. Live verified:
