Executive summary

Contacts join the confirmed-write triage pattern: read by UUID, propose lifecycle on_boarded/off_boarded, assign/unassign (EligibleContactAssignee), and text notes (max 5000). Mirrors HTTP contacts.update / assign / notes.

Go / No-Go: Go. Cutover: migrate-only catalog bump to 1.18.0.

Gate	Result
Platform freeze	Pass
Registry + confirm arms	Pass
Pest authz + propose/confirm	Pass
Playwright AI suite contact flow	Pass — e2e Contact triage propose→confirm status/note/assign
Catalog migrate-only 1.18.0 + CatalogSeeder	Pass

Upgrade & staging smoke

1. php artisan migrate --force — catalog ai → 1.18.0 (do not db:seed).
2. Smoke: Ask EloSync / pending confirm offboard + note + unassign on a contact.
