Update Phase 20 recovery status gate

PR Details:
- Records reset-to-baseline plus constrained replay as the active recovery method.
- Marks SSoT, memory reset, anti-pattern replay, and Codex rule enforcement as in progress.
- Keeps Workspace Manager UAT validation as the remaining recovery gate.

+# Recovery Status Gate
+
+## Status (April 25, 2026)
+
+Recovery replay implementation status is updated; UAT gate remains open.
+
+## Completed
+
+- Audit completed.
+- Recovery path applied (reset-to-baseline).
+- Anti-pattern drift removal through constrained replay PRs.
+- Tool launch SSoT enforcement across samples/games.
+- External-launch memory reset enforcement without fallback behavior.
+- Codex rule enforcement re-verification on the recovery lane.
+
+## Remaining Hard Gate
+
+- Validate Workspace Manager launch flow from `games/index.html`:
+  - `Open with Workspace Manager`
+  - `tools/Workspace Manager/index.html`
+  - launch memory cleared
+  - explicit context loaded
+  - no fallback/default behavior
+
+## Gate Decision
+
+- Recovery gate is still blocked pending explicit Workspace Manager UAT pass.
+- Normal roadmap progression remains blocked until that UAT gate passes.

-## Current Recovery State
-- HEAD reset to `3f7e9df`
-- broad post-baseline drift is intentionally discarded from active branch state
-- next work must replay only minimal UAT-critical launch behavior
+## Current Recovery Position
+
+Recovery is being handled as reset-to-baseline plus constrained replay PRs.
+
+The current controlled replay sequence is:
+
+1. `BUILD_PR_LEVEL_20_7_TOOL_LAUNCH_SSOT_SPEC`
+   - Defines the launch behavior contract.
+2. `BUILD_PR_LEVEL_20_8_IMPLEMENT_TOOL_LAUNCH_SSOT_ROUTING_V2`
+   - Replays routing under strict labels:
+     - samples: `Open <tool>`
+     - games: `Open with Workspace Manager`
+3. `BUILD_PR_LEVEL_20_9_TOOL_LAUNCH_SSOT_DATA_LAYER`
+   - Centralizes launch target data into one SSoT.
+4. `BUILD_PR_LEVEL_20_10_REMOVE_LEGACY_LAUNCH_FALLBACK_RESIDUE`
+   - Removes remaining fallback/default residue after SSoT routing.
+
+## Gate Remaining
+
+The remaining hard gate is UAT validation:
+
+```text
+games/index.html
+  -> Open with Workspace Manager
+  -> tools/Workspace Manager/index.html
+  -> memory cleared
+  -> explicit context loaded
+  -> no fallback/default behavior
+```
 
-## Guard Notes
-- do not modify `MASTER_ROADMAP_ENGINE.md` prose during recovery
-- avoid `start_of_day` changes unless explicitly required
-- keep recovery PRs single-purpose and validation-backed
+Normal roadmap progression should not resume until that UAT gate passes.

+Purpose:
+Update recovery roadmap status only.
 
-Goal:
-Remove remaining legacy launch routing residue and default/fallback behavior from the touched SSoT launch flow.
+Allowed:
+- create/update docs/dev/roadmaps/MASTER_ROADMAP_RECOVERY.md
+- create docs/dev/reports/recovery_status_gate.md
 
-If either validation report is missing:
-- create docs/dev/reports/legacy_launch_fallback_residue_validation.md
-- mark status BLOCKED
-- explain missing prerequisite
-- stop without implementation changes
-
-Required behavior to preserve:
-- samples use label: Open <tool>
-- samples launch tools through SSoT target paths: tools/<tool>/index.html
-- games use label: Open with Workspace Manager
-- games launch Workspace Manager through SSoT target path: tools/Workspace Manager/index.html
-- external launches from samples/games clear launch memory before loading
-- invalid or missing SSoT target/context fails visibly
-
-Remove only in touched launch flow:
-- duplicated hardcoded launch paths
-- default tool/workspace selections
-- fallback routes
-- stale memory reuse
-- first-item selection
-- label-text guessing
-- DOM-order guessing
-- compatibility branches that bypass SSoT
-
-Hard constraints:
-- smallest valid change
-- no unrelated cleanup
-- no repo-wide rewrite
-- no start_of_day changes
-- no roadmap text rewrite except status markers
-- no anti-patterns listed in docs/dev/codex_rules.md
-- no second source of truth
-- do not alter required label meanings
-
-Validation:
-Create docs/dev/reports/legacy_launch_fallback_residue_validation.md with:
-- changed files
-- exact residue removed
-- proof sample actions still say Open <tool>
-- proof game actions still say Open with Workspace Manager
-- proof sample target paths come from SSoT
-- proof game Workspace Manager target path comes from SSoT
-- proof external launch memory clear remains intact
-- proof missing target/context does not fallback
-- anti-pattern self-check
+Forbidden:
+- implementation code
+- runtime changes
+- git reset
+- roadmap rewrite outside recovery roadmap
+- start_of_day changes
