+- Clone of `main` at `4bc41e9`; LFS objects fetched (`DemoMap.umap` is real UE

+- `GigLineEditor` → **Result: Succeeded** (28.2 s); produced

+  (UE 5.8.4), system clang; no machine-specific paths beyond the documented
+  `-project=` argument.

 - [x] No blocking collision or packaging defects. **Done 2026-11-08:** extended `-qaselftest` — transect now 1456 samples / 16 rows including the kerb/road/sidewalk seam Ys (0 holes), plus a ground-referenced 30 m wall probe (0/35 blocking hits; no invisible walls). Walk/reset/pause all PASS on the packaged build; `GigLineShotActor` now skips under `-qaselftest`. Evidence in `Docs/release-checks.md` §`0.1.0` audit note.
 - [x] Remove TEMP QA diagnostics (`GigLine SIM` / `GigLine GROUND` log lines and the settle-timer log) from `GigLineCharacter.cpp` before the release tag, or gate them behind a cvar. **Done 2026-11-08:** SIM/GROUND probes were already removed in the input fix (PR #8); the remaining settle-timer + `GigLine IN:` input-setup logs are now gated behind the `gigline.SetupLogs` cvar (default 0 in `DefaultEngine.ini [ConsoleVariables]`, re-enable at runtime). Verified on the packaged build: 0 setup-log lines, `-qaselftest` still all PASS.
