Status: NO-GO — no merge or deployment

PR40 is the integration target for Toolify's engagement/navigation and software CTA growth features. PR39-specific paths were compared with integration: 16/16 exact GitHub blob SHAs matched at that check. Keep this as one combined release, not separate PR38/39 merges.

Completed and verified from GitHub source

• Shared URL privacy and validated restoration, locale-aware tool search, trusted GA4 telemetry, related/recent paths, escaped HTML embed snippets, software CTA and existing ad placements.
• Manual-only deploy workflow on PR40: no main push trigger, but manual dispatch, shared VPS deploy lock and release SHA checks retained. Existing main not changed.
• Release gate branch guard and explicit fetch of latest main into refs/remotes/origin/main before requiring that remote-tracking ref to be an ancestor of PR40 HEAD. This prevents accidentally passing the gate against stale local main data. Regression expectation updated.
• GitHub readback confirmed four gate source expectations. Earlier 8/8 independent source contract check groups matched across 12 files. These are not full Vitest/build/browser results.

Current state

• 22 commits ahead, 2 commits behind main, 9 changed files; no submitted reviews or successful status checks. Direct git ls-remote is blocked in this execution container by DNS resolution, so no complete checkout or full test-suite execution has been claimed.
• No GitHub Actions, merge, or production deployment performed. No real traffic, retention or revenue change verified.
• Further documentation: docs/PR40_INTEGRATION_VERIFICATION_2026-11-06.md.

Owner release sequence

1. In an authorized local checkout, integrate latest main's 2 outstanding commits into integration/toolify-growth-engagement-20261106 while keeping manual-only deploy trigger and lock behavior.
2. Run bash scripts/check-engagement-release.sh on that exact branch (npm ci, dependency-free smoke/integration tests, TypeScript, Vitest, site/SEO/i18n/index audits, Next.js production build). Any failure = stop.
3. Complete mobile/desktop and 17-locale browser QA, share/privacy restoration, embeds, software CTAs, consent, GA4 DebugView, ad inventory and accessibility. Obtain code review.
4. Merge PR40 only after passing the gate, then owner manually deploys and runs the read-only live growth audit.

GitHub shows PR40 as normal open, not draft. Attempt to convert to draft previously failed with insufficient permissions. Do not merge while NO-GO.
