+# Change: Close User-Confirmation Issues 2026-08-13
+
+## 2026-08-13 — Close issues awaiting user-visible confirmation
+
+- **Modify** `.phrase/docs/ISSUES.md` to mark `issue011`–`issue017`,
+  `issue019`, and `issue020` as resolved.
+- **Modify** the corresponding issue detail files to record the closure
+  date, responsible closure path, and that the commit is
+  documentation-only.
+- **Leave open** `issue018`/`task030`: the locked source-instrumented
+  16 ms stress target is still unmet, so that item remains an active
+  engineering debt rather than a pending user-confirmation gate.
+- **Behavior/Risk:** no runtime change. This pass closes the required
+  user-visible acceptance gate for work that had already completed
+  developer, repository, and dynamic GUI verification.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `issue011`–`issue017`, `issue019`, and `issue020` now use `[x]` in the
+  global issue index and their detail headers.
+- `issue018` remains `[ ]`; `task030` remains `[ ]`.
+- No production or test code was changed.
