   passed all 17 reported checks, including Kind Phase 2, authoritative Newman,
   both intercept backends, static quality, regression, and supply-chain scans.
-- The first resume action is operational, not an implementation slice: make
-  `.github/workflows/results-regression.yml` available on the default branch

-  aggregate feature branch), then manually dispatch it against the M17
-  revision. Mark M17.4 complete only if strict Results/Postgres verification
-  exits zero; otherwise fix that failure first.
+- The first resume action is still M17.4 live acceptance. Scheduled run
+  `35107095845` already executed on `main` and failed because the workflow
+  lacked JDK 21. Merge the Results toolchain fix to `main`, then confirm a
+  green scheduled or manually dispatched `results-regression` run before
+  marking M17.4 complete.
 - After M17.4, continue in numeric order from M17.11. Do not skip directly to
   maintainability work because M17.11–M17.14 establish the test evidence needed
   to refactor safely.
