+# ⚠️ REFERENCE IMPLEMENTATION ONLY
+
+**STATUS:** This document describes the INTENDED API bridge workflow. **Gemini cannot currently execute this.**
+
+**Reality (as of February 14, 2026):**
+- Gemini's Python environment is air-gapped from internet
+- External network requests (requests.get/post) fail with ConnectionError
+- Initial testing showed hallucinated success responses (Status: 201)
+- Files never actually appeared in repository
+
+**This document is preserved for:**
+1. Future when Gemini gains network access
+2. Reference if building automation script to execute on Michael's behalf
+3. Understanding intended workflow design
+
+**Current Workflow:** See gemini-workspace README for manual/Drive-based methods.
