## 1. Configuration Contract

- [x] 1.1 Update focused query tests to assert the exact retired cohort, retained sentinels, retained productive terms, and deterministic list sizes.
- [x] 1.2 Assert that retired queries have no orphaned query overrides while retained bounded ecosystem queries remain unchanged.

## 2. Runtime Configuration

- [x] 2.1 Stop the authenticated runtime through the coordinated lifecycle before changing authority-covered configuration.
- [x] 2.2 Remove the approved 219 query occurrences and three `openai` overrides from `app/config.yaml` without modifying persisted state or backlog data.

## 3. Verification

- [x] 3.1 Run focused query/configuration tests and verify canonical configuration loads with the required query sets and counts.
- [x] 3.2 Run strict OpenSpec validation and relevant supervisor/runtime safety tests.

## 4. Deployment

- [x] 4.1 Start the runtime through `start_runtime.ps1` and verify authenticated supervisor and managed PostgreSQL readiness.
- [x] 4.2 Verify pipeline readiness, normal source processes, keychecks, and post-prune query loading without queue mutations.
