[DealAppSeo]

Ledger entry for beat 2026-09-16 (third run).

• Verifies prior beat (PR docs(loop): beat 2026-09-16 second run — prior beat verified; #749 Sean-blocked; item 9(b)/(c) surfaced #758, 19231d3): all claims hold [V]
• PR fix(hal): pin free-tier quorum — refuse glm-5-turbo and paid Gemini under the hold #743 (HAL free-tier quorum fix, 98/98 tests): needs Sean to mark ready + merge + recycle Railway. Live quorum 2/5 families at last measure — this is the fix.
• PR fix(scoring): per-event output cap on scaled reward (cannot fill the scale in one insert) #739 (scaled reward cap): SAFE-CLASS but Sean-flagged draft; needs clearance
• PR fix(scoring): opportunity-grade delta reject bound (PR C, LOOP C1 / audit 2606.26028) #749: Sean-blocked, confirmed
• All 3 open PRs have explicit "Do not merge" — none auto-merged this beat
• Item 7 (ANFIS staging) deferred to own dedicated beat

Docs-only, safe-class.
