Subject: [PATCH] docs(exa-a3): mark stale plan + spec as SHIPPED
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Both docs in pending-updates/ described work that fully shipped:
- exa-a3-augmentor-refactor-spec.md → v7.5.0 via PR #108 (2026-05-09)
- exa-a3-improvements-plan.md → v7.3.0 → v7.6.2 via PRs #108-#115

Production all-treatment in flags.env since 2026-05-11. EXA_WEB_TOOLS=true
graduated 2026-05-12 (Issue #41 closed). G5 observability (T1+T2+v6.8.7.1)
shipped same day via PRs #122/#124/#125/#126/#127/#128.

Both docs retained in pending-updates/ for architectural + implementation
reference; original "Draft" / "Active" status now annotated with SHIPPED
marker and PR cross-references.

No functional change; zero risk.

 # Exa A3 Augmentor Refactor — Specification
 
-**Status**: Draft for review
+**Status**: ✅ **SHIPPED** as v7.5.0 in PR [#108](https://github.com/Number531/Legal-API/pull/108) (2026-05-09). Subsequent A3 work shipped through v7.6.2 (PRs #109–#115); production all-treatment in `flags.env` since 2026-05-11. Validated by G5 citation-verifier observability T1+T2+v6.8.7.1 (PRs #122/#124/#125/#126/#127/#128). This document retained for architectural reference.
+
+**Original status (pre-shipping)**: Draft for review
 **Owner**: TBD
 **Predecessor**: PR #111 (v7.4.0 — coverage extension to 14 tools)
 **Goal**: refactor cross-cutting A3 plumbing from per-tool duplication into a composable augmentor pipeline before extending to the next 40-50 tools.

+**Status**: ✅ **SHIPPED** — implementation completed 2026-05-09 → 2026-05-11 across v7.3.0 → v7.6.2 (PRs #108–#115). Production all-treatment rollout in `flags.env` since 2026-05-11. Subsequent G5 citation-verifier observability (T1+T2+v6.8.7.1 via PRs #122/#124/#125/#126/#127/#128) provides operational visibility into the A3-enabled verifier path.
