 - The same gate requires EdgeEnv-preserved Orchestrator producer markers to carry `source_repository=InferEdgeOrchestrator`, `artifact_role=orchestrator-supplemental-operation-context`, and `producer_contract=inferedge-orchestrator-edgeenv-runtime-telemetry-feed-v1`.
 - When EdgeEnv preservation context is present, Lab renders `Lab EdgeEnv preservation context` with `lab_report_preservation_context_present=True`, `lab_preservation=present`, and `lab_context=present` so the Runtime Intelligence report gate and entrypoint evidence index use the same Lab-owned marker vocabulary.
 - When an EdgeEnv handoff manifest is provided, the bundle gate requires EdgeEnv-produced file keys, external AIGuard file keys, source repository mapping, artifact roles, producer contracts, and boundary flags to match Lab's Runtime Intelligence bundle contract.
-- The same manifest gate requires `expected_report_markers` to preserve these exact Lab-owned report markers: `Runtime Intelligence Risk Summary`, `Orchestrator operation feed context`, `Orchestrator task event rollup`, `Lab EdgeEnv preservation context`, `AIGuard task event rollup evidence`, `AIGuard runtime operation anomalies`, `AIGuard remote dispatch event summary`, `AIGuard remote event summary consistency`, `Remote fallback starter evidence`, `AIGuard producer-lineage guard alignment`, and `Lab remains the final deployment decision owner.`.

+- The same gate summary emits `expected_report_markers: remote fallback Lab context row declared`, keeping the remote fallback row-value marker visible in file-based CI artifacts without making CI a runtime control plane.
 - The same handoff gate verifies that the referenced `runtime_telemetry_history` artifact exists and preserves EdgeEnv history schema, telemetry coverage, and Runtime history seed ownership markers.
 - The same handoff gate verifies that missing telemetry entries remain evidence gaps while preserving Orchestrator producer markers, owner boundary flags, and EdgeEnv mapping hints when Orchestrator context is attached.
 - The same handoff gate validates `edgeenv_report_summary.producer_lineage_guard_alignment_run_ids` against the preserved EdgeEnv regression context so the Orchestrator-declared `edgeenv_orchestrator_producer_lineage` marker cannot disappear between EdgeEnv producer output and Lab bundle ingestion.
