+## A bee's work on #4699, published from `queen-4699` (Closes #4699)

+- The branch changes 1 file(s): `specs/fpga/timing.t27`.
+- `git diff --stat origin/master...queen-4699` reads: 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+)
+- This entry is written by the publisher, not by the bee. A pull request must
+  add exactly one `docs/now/` entry and a bee has no way to know that: its brief
+  names a boundary file and acceptance criteria, and `docs/now/` is neither.
+- What this entry does NOT establish: that the work is correct. The gates on the
+  pull request judge that, and they are the same gates every other change meets.
