+Adversarial review found four items that invalidated rung definitions-of-done
+as written. **All four have since shipped**; they are recorded here because
+they explain why the rungs were sequenced as they were, not because anything
+is still blocked on them. Each is listed with where it landed, so a reader can
+check rather than take this section's word for it:
 
 1. **Async shared/keyed attach for WASM** (before rung 3's WASM story) —
-   `registerModelShared`/`attachModel` are synchronous and nest an event
-   loop, which aborts the page on the WASM main thread;
-   `registerModelAsync` covers only the plain path.
+   `registerModelShared`/`attachModel` were synchronous and nested an event
+   loop, which aborts the page on the WASM main thread, and
+   `registerModelAsync` covered only the plain path.
+   **Shipped:** `IBackend::registerModelSharedAsync` and
+   `IBackend::attachModelAsync` (`include/morph/core/backend.hpp`), consumed by
+   `Bridge::ensureBoundAsync`/`attachHandlerAsync` and implemented by
+   `QtWebSocketBackend`.
 2. **Client-side execute deadline** (before rung 3's polling helper) — no
-   timeout exists on a `Completion`; silently dropped frames (rate limiter)
-   or a black-holed server hang the client forever.
+   timeout existed on a `Completion`, so a black-holed server hung the client
+   forever. **Shipped:** `Bridge::setExecuteDeadline`
+   (`include/morph/core/bridge.hpp`), specified in
+   [`docs/spec/core/completion.md`](../docs/spec/core/completion.md). (This
+   item also named rate-limiter drops as a cause; that half no longer applies
+   either — the transport now answers a refused frame instead of dropping it.)
 3. **Injectable time source usable by remotely-constructed models** (before
-   rung 1's expiry semantics) — `LogEntry` timestamps are hard-wired to the
-   system clock, and registry-constructed models are default-constructed,
-   so tests need a process-global now-provider convention.

+   tests needed a process-global now-provider convention.
+   **Shipped:** `setNowOverride` / `ScopedNowOverride`
+   (`include/morph/util/datetime.hpp`) — exactly that convention.
 4. **The fault-injection wire proxy** (rung 0–1, pulled forward by the
    round-7 review) — scriptable drop/delay/duplicate/kill between client
    and server; without it the exactly-once, dead-letter, and
