 | # | Task | Acceptance |
 |---|---|---|
 | 8.44 `[D:8.3,8.4,8.28,8.31]` | **IN PROGRESS.** Go observability package encodes queue/proposal/match/server IDs and lifecycle stage in structured events while recursively redacting auth/relay tokens and credentials | `server/observability/` covers correlation fields, nested secret redaction and unnamed-event rejection; production logger/metrics/traces/replay integration and secret-canary coverage remain |
-| 8.45 `[D:8.2,8.44]` | Dashboards/alerts for wait/MMR/RTT, proposals, allocation/Ready/image pull, connect/no-show, tick/crash/flood, result conflict/lag, abandons and cost | Each SLO and security/cost signal has an exercised alert and runbook |
+| 8.45 `[D:8.2,8.44]` | **IN PROGRESS.** Go observability package turns the documented RTT, allocation/connect latency, result-success, API-latency and tick/headroom thresholds into executable window checks | `server/observability/slo.go` covers healthy/violating/empty windows; production metrics export, dashboards, alert routing, wait/MMR/proposal/flood/cost series and runbooks remain |
 | 8.46 `[D:8.5,8.7,8.9,8.10,8.14,8.18,8.21,8.23,8.25]` | **IN PROGRESS.** Go unit/race coverage spans the current domain/store/supervisor policies, and fuzz targets now exercise queue input, result payload hashing and revision events | `server/domain/*_test.go`, `server/store/*_test.go`, `server/supervisor/*_test.go` and `server/domain/fuzz_test.go` pass normal/race suites; `go test -fuzz`, PostgreSQL concurrency/migration execution, fake Steam/allocator and full lost-Redis/transaction fixtures remain |
 | 8.47 `[D:8.7,8.30]` | **IN PROGRESS.** Offline testkit provides deterministic fake Steam verification and fake allocation with forced failure injection | `server/testkit/` covers verified identity/replay and cloud-free forced allocation failure; API/Compose integration and exhaustive success/failure matrix remain |
 | 8.48 `[D:8.10,8.14,8.17,8.18,8.27,8.31,8.35,8.47]` | Second Compose flow: fake backend → queue/proposal → process-ready/allocation/assignment-ready → ENet roster → result ack → shutdown; do not edit Phase 6 fixture | Both server models have independent green gates; existing Make invocations remain unchanged |
