+# Valet live canary
+
+This documentation file was created by an authenticated worker through the Valet MCP client and private broker. Each GitHub operation received a separate exact, one-use operator approval.
+
+The canary uses an existing operator-owned GitHub credential through the proxy fallback. It does not establish live GitHub App minting or production deployment. No credential was returned to the worker through the broker API.
