+## Activation (2026-07-26)
+The scheduled FLEET activator (`com.steve.dw-rotation-activator`, cap 500/day) already
+drip-activates these MDC drafts — gate-passed + **ex-Google** (it excludes the Google
+publication). Steve's call (2026-07-26): **"let it ride + protect Vital."**

+- Dedicated activator built: `~/Projects/dw-rotation-activator/mdc-activate.js` (scoped to
+  the exact `mdc_catalog` PID set; adds an MDC-coinage leak guard + Dublin-Vital hold on
+  top of the settlement + 5-field gates; publishes ex-Google). DRY sample: 17/20 pass,
+  settlement ≈ $0.0001/product (~$0.47 full).
+- **48 "Dublin Vital" rows HELD** — archived + tagged `Hold-Review-Vital` +
+  `internal.settlement_hold=HOLD:dublin-vital-name-review-2026-07-26`. Archive is the only
+  hold the fleet activator respects (it skips non-DRAFT, "never un-archive"). Reversible.
+- **Release path** (after Steve OKs the "Vital" name): un-archive the 48 to DRAFT, then
+  `node mdc-activate.js --allow-vital --commit` (or let the fleet activator re-pick them).

 ## To reach LIVE (Steve-gated — NOT done here)
 Drafts only. Activation DRAFT→ACTIVE runs a CMO-Paris-style `mdc-activate.js`: real
 settlement gate + 5-field gate + publish to all channels **ex-Google** (quote-only lines
