+#   R-STATE-02 (node-loss)         — delivered with Longhorn/infra (WS-STORAGE).
+#   R-ENV-02   (dev->prod promote) — owned by WS-INFRA/WS-GITOPS; unscaffolded (a GAP in
+#                                    coverage.md). The coarse path->requirement map keys
+#                                    clusters/* AND ci/* to it and the R-ENV-02 doc token
+#                                    appears in platform/kustomization.yaml's header, so ANY
+#                                    infra/overlay/CI edit (e.g. enabling a component, bumping
+#                                    SPEC_PIN) would otherwise false-block on it.
+#   R-GITOPS-01 (state in git/Flux) — same: owned by WS-GITOPS, unscaffolded, and the ci/*
+#                                    path-map keys to it, so editing any ci/ file (SPEC_PIN
+#                                    adoption included) would false-block.
+# These are visible GAPs, not hidden — removing them from this list is the right move the
+# moment WS-TEST adds their verifying tests. FOLLOW-UP (WS-TEST): the deeper fix is to make
+# the path->requirement matcher stop keying on doc-header tokens so real requirements need
+# not be exempted; tracked as a harness debt item, not resolved here.
