+
+## Verification
+
+- **Local cluster**: Kind cluster `fleetdm` running
+- **Pods**: Fleet (1/1), MySQL (1/1), Redis (1/1) — all Running
+- **Fleet UI**: HTTP 200 at https://localhost:8585 via `make port-forward`
+- **Gitea Actions**: Lint job passing (run #5), release job correctly skipped (tag-only)
+- **Helm lint**: `1 chart(s) linted, 0 chart(s) failed`
