GA-R5: operator direction recorded verbatim -- "R10, we need to fix the stale
commit issue and make sure that all working directories are current." OPS under
GA-R3: an environment fix, no D-number assigned.

This resolves R10 by REMOVING the reds rather than recording an exception basis
for proceeding against them. The measurement showed that is the stronger answer:
the red set is substantially an artifact of running the gate on the wrong host,
not a set of conditions Stage 5 has to accept.

SCOPE ENUMERATED BY MEASUREMENT rather than assumed, because "all working
directories" could have been broader than the one clone already known:
- voffice1:~/openstack-caracal-dc-dc -- 105 behind origin/main on
  dc-dc-g12-dc1-substrate, a branch DELETED upstream. THE ONLY STALE CLONE.
- vcloud:~/openstack-caracal-dc-dc -- current, on the audit branch, in sync.
- dc0 rack, dc1 rack -- NO CLONE. By design: the dc-* scripts are piped in over
  ssh with 'sudo bash -s', never cloned to the rack.
- office1-netbox, office1-tailscale -- NO CLONE. Measured FROM VCLOUD after a
  probe via voffice1 returned "unreachable"; unreachable is not absent, so it
  was re-run from a host that can actually see them rather than recorded as a
  negative finding.
- ~/ops-toolkit on vcloud is a DIFFERENT repository
  (git.baldurkeep.com/git/ops/ops-toolkit.git, single commit) and is out of scope.

RECOVERY SHAPE MATTERS AND IS NOT THE OBVIOUS ONE: a plain `git pull` on voffice1
does NOT work, because its tracked branch no longer exists upstream. It needs
`git fetch origin && git switch main` with a HEAD-equals-origin/main assertion
afterward (finding L5-4). The untracked
opentofu/vr1-dc1-substrate/.terraform.lock.hcl there is not tracked on main, so
the checkout will not conflict.

CONSEQUENCES ONCE CURRENT: preflight becomes runnable on voffice1, which clears
P3's 33 warns and P4's "MAAS unreachable" -- both missing-binary artifacts, since
maas and juju are PRESENT on voffice1 and ABSENT on vcloud. The octavia-pki
absence and the 7 credential findings are host-independent and remain.

THEN OWED: repo-lint and the gauntlet ON voffice1. These were deliberately
deferred throughout this audit precisely because running them against a
105-commit-stale tree would have produced a number that meant nothing. The
deferral now discharges.

ALL STAGE-5 BLOCKING RULINGS (R1-R11) ARE NOW CLOSED. Remaining: R12-R15
standing, plus G18 deferred-and-gated.

Revert: git revert this commit; the CURRENT-STATE entry is additive.
