 ## Findings Register
 | Severity | Area | Repro | Status | Fix |
 |---|---|---|---|---|
 | P3 | Manifest workflow ergonomics | Running `build_armory_manifest.py` updates commit-pinned URLs and generated metadata | Mitigated | Verified deterministic behavior; kept source unchanged for this wave to avoid commit-ref churn |
+| P1 | Workflow reliability | `Armory Pages` deploy failed with `404 Not Found` when Pages was not enabled | Fixed | Added Pages API precheck and conditional deploy skip in `.github/workflows/pages.yml` |
 
 ## Residual Risks / Follow-ups
 - If manifest regeneration is needed in future waves, run it as an intentional release-adjacent change and review generated commit reference updates.
+- If Pages is intentionally enabled later, the workflow will auto-deploy without additional code changes.
 
 ## Attestation
 - This wave is maintenance and hardening only.
