 Stage Summary:
 - The "additional info" turned out to be the OVE-Directory API Reference + Connection Card (the directory VPS credentials, already integrated since v7.15.2 -- key verified identical to .env). Tested exhaustively as a potential Forgejo credential: all 13 format/username combinations 401, confirming the cards are directory-service docs, not git credentials. The full Directory integration was re-verified line-by-line against both cards and matches every documented behavior (plus a compile gate the cards don't require). v7.20.0 remains fully staged on both local branches; the push still requires one operator-side action (authenticated push or a Forgejo token with write:repository scope).

+---
+Task ID: 57
+Agent: main (Z.ai Code)
+Task: push unblocked (operator message): "My apologies, here is the needed token: [40-hex Forgejo token -- value intentionally never recorded here, same convention as the directory API key]."
+
+Token delivery:
+- Verified read-only before any mutation: GET /api/v1/user returns a SCOPE error (no read:user), not 401 -- token valid, narrowly scoped. GET /api/v1/repos/gitzcreations/openvisengine with the token returns the full repo record (id 1, owner gitzcreations) -- repository access confirmed.
+- Push mechanics: token passed ONLY as a per-invocation `git -c http.extraheader="Authorization: token ..."` (one-off config, never written to .git/config -- verified no trace after the push; never echoed into any file, log, or worklog). The remote URL stays credential-free.
+- First attempt (both refs, main:zai-dev + main:main): authenticated fine but declined atomically by Forgejo's pre-receive hook -- "Not allowed to push to protected branch main". main is branch-protected server-side; that is the operator's merge/PR lane (Forgejo's own message offers the compare/main...zai-dev PR link).
+- Second attempt (main:zai-dev alone): SUCCESS -- bbbee3c..631642d main -> zai-dev.
+
+What landed on origin/zai-dev (7 commits, exactly the staged set from Tasks 55/56):
+- 597f442 worklog Task 50 · 2f0ed4f v7.18.0 (Beautiful Spectrogram preset) · 60a7d40 v7.19.0 (trueblack auto, Texe-rings fix) · 5f46fb7 v7.19.0 (embedded branch curated to root/embedded/Beat Matrix + seed re-sync) · 06db8b9 v7.20.0 (paste-to-decode + compact Directory cards + version bump) · 30241bc worklog Task 55 · 631642d worklog Task 56.
+- Verified post-push: git fetch shows origin/zai-dev = 631642d (local main = local zai-dev = 631642d, nothing left unpushed); origin/main unchanged at bbbee3c (protected, awaits the operator's PR/merge from zai-dev).
+- This Task 57 commit rides on top and is pushed in the same pass, so origin/zai-dev carries the complete record including the delivery itself.
+
+The persistence chain is now end-to-end: every future sandbox reprovision restores .env + db/custom.db from the tracked .env.ove + db/custom.db.seed via .zscripts/dev.sh self-healing, and the operator's Forgejo remote (origin/zai-dev) carries v7.20.0 -- the exact outcome the Drive file's instructions asked for.
+
+Stage Summary:
+- PUSH DELIVERED: origin/zai-dev now at 631642d+ (v7.18.0 + v7.19.0 x2 + v7.20.0 + worklogs), authenticated with the operator-supplied scoped token, which was used once as a throwaway HTTP header and never stored anywhere. origin/main remains protected at bbbee3c -- merging zai-dev into main (PR or local merge + push from an authorized lane) is the one remaining operator-side step if they want main current.
