Consultation: Gemini response — live panel deploy approved

Green light with two pre-flight requirements:
1. Fix async error handling in wrapper.tsx (Code dispatched)
2. Stage v1.0.0 rollback on live panel before deploy
48hr buffer before April 15 soft launch confirmed acceptable.

+## Gemini's Response (April 13, 2026)
+
+**Summary:** Dev Panel validation is sufficient. Green light to deploy — with two pre-flight requirements.
+
+### Key Points
+
+1. **Dev Panel validation sufficient** — proved infrastructure and pipeline are solid. ErrorBoundary means data logic failures degrade gracefully instead of nuking the panel. Acceptable for soft launch.
+
+2. **Remaining async blind spot** — ErrorBoundary doesn't catch async errors (fetch/axios). Silent `.catch()` blocks that set `data = null` cause the widget to vanish with no explanation. Need proper error state with graceful message.
+
+3. **Timing approved** — 48-hour buffer before April 15 is tight but correct. Backend has been stable 24 hours. Risk is isolated to visual layer only.
+
+4. **Deployment sequence:**
+   - Stage v1.0.0 rollback file on live panel first
+   - Deploy via Trinity Core / `blueprint -install`
+   - Validate immediately in incognito window
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion
+
+Gemini approved the live panel deploy. One code fix required first: async error handling in `wrapper.tsx` (useEffect catch and refresh catch both need error state, not silent null).
+
+**Next Steps:**
+1. Code fixes async error handling in wrapper.tsx
+2. Chronicler stages v1.0.0 rollback on live panel
+3. Deploy v1.1.0 to live panel via blueprint -install
+4. Validate in incognito immediately after
