-The following Phase 8 slices have local implementation and verification evidence in this document: 8.29 dynamic allocated launch flags and endpoint handling; 8.30 allocator claim/reconciliation; 8.31 signed assignment/roster validation; 8.35 initial-connect no-show and casual bot policy; 8.36 controlled drain and shutdown acknowledgment; 8.39–8.43 client state, assignment, profile, recovery, and idempotent action retry; 8.44 structured observability and content-aware redaction; 8.45 bounded API metrics export plus optional Prometheus scrape/alert rules; 8.46 normal/race/vet/fuzz coverage; and 8.47–8.48 offline/testkit/Compose coverage. Their remaining acceptance text is infrastructure or production dependent where explicitly noted below the corresponding row.

 The following are not locally certifiable from this workspace and remain open prerequisites rather than silently “done”: Valve/GodotSteam credentials and hosted SDR (7.1–7.8), live PostgreSQL/Redis execution where Docker is unavailable, live Agones/kind lifecycle (8.30–8.38, 8.49), public-network chaos/load/cost/release gates (8.50–8.53), and real-hardware graphics profiling (0.15b onward). `make verify-kind-agones` is the committed runner for 8.49; it requires a running Docker daemon plus kind, kubectl, and Helm. `TODO.md`’s AI-training and presentation tasks remain separate from multiplayer and are not marked by this index.
