 The control plane now exports bounded Prometheus-compatible API request counters and latency summaries at `GET /metrics`, with fixed operation/status labels and no event-stream wrapping. Production and testkit services wire the collector; adversarial tests verify unknown paths cannot inject label cardinality or leak URL secrets, and full Go/race/vet checks pass. Durable SLO dashboards and alert routing remain operational work.
 
+The authenticated event stream now rejects client data/reserved opcodes and oversized control frames at the parser boundary; only RFC 6455 close, ping, and pong frames are accepted from clients, preserving the bounded v1 stream contract.
+
 `make verify-multiplayer-local` now provides one cloud-free regression gate for the current implementation: the complete Go suite, the Godot harness, OpenAPI parsing, and the migration/Fleet/Kubernetes/supply-chain checks. It fails clearly when the configured Godot executable is unavailable and does not weaken or replace the existing Phase 6/ENet gates; PostgreSQL, Redis, Steam, Agones, and multi-process Internet gates remain separate.
 
 That local gate now also runs `go test -race ./...`, `go vet ./...`, and each declared domain fuzz target for a bounded 2-second interval, aligning the one-command gate with the separately recorded 8.46 verification requirements.
