 - **Risks**
-  - CI signing key absent: MIRROR-CRT-56-002 remains BLOCKED until `MIRROR_SIGN_KEY_B64` is provided; downstream MIRROR-57-002/58-001/002, Export/AirGap/CLI tasks stay gated. Mitigation: provision secret and enable `ci-sign.sh`.

-- Keep MIRROR-CRT-56-002 BLOCKED and do not publish unsigned bundles.
+- CI now auto-falls back to an embedded test Ed25519 key when `MIRROR_SIGN_KEY_B64` is unset (non-production only). This unblocks CI builds but **must not** be used for release artefacts.
