 - ZeroClaw acknowledgements and completions are still operator-driven; remote runtimes do not push completion state back yet.
 - The board records remote webhook responses, but not structured per-step execution output from the agents.
 - Direct targets are intentionally restricted to configured safe actions and do not expose arbitrary shell execution in the UI.
+- `truenas-admin` remains review-gated for cleanup decisions; the taskboard produces audit results and candidate datasets, not direct deletion.
