+   - V10.358 補市場情報 MCP 啟用證據審核：新增 `mcp_activation_evidence` read-only builder、GET/POST endpoint、UI redacted evidence 審核面板與 deployment readiness smoke target，讓操作員貼上 env/health/router/telemetry/fallback 證據後判斷能否補齊 external/internal MCP runtime 缺口；API/UI 不保存 payload、不打 health、不啟動 MCP、不執行 docker/SSH、不開 DB、不抓外站、不掛 scheduler，且會阻擋真實 secret 字串與任何 DB write/fetch/scheduler 證據。
    - V10.357 補市場情報 MCP 完整度稽核：新增 `mcp_completion_audit` read-only builder、GET endpoint、UI 面板與 deployment readiness smoke target，彙整外部 MCP design/runtime、內部 tool contract/runtime、activation runbook 與 fetch gate 狀態；API/UI 不啟動 MCP、不打 health、不執行 docker/SSH、不開 DB、不寫檔、不抓外站、不掛 scheduler。
    - V10.356 補市場情報 candidate queue review AI summary Telegram dispatch report catalog record final closeout gate：新增 read-only report catalog record final closeout builder、POST endpoint、UI 按鈕與 deployment readiness smoke target，在 archive summary gate 後覆核 catalog record identity、artifact traceability、sections、DB commit/post-write smoke、pipeline complete 與無後續 follow-up；API/UI 不讀 approval/Telegram token、不呼叫 LLM、不產報表、不派送 Telegram、不開 DB、不寫檔、不執行 CLI、不寫 catalog record、不 commit、不更新 review_state、不掛 scheduler。
    - V10.355 補市場情報 candidate queue review AI summary Telegram dispatch report catalog record archive summary gate：新增 read-only report catalog record archive summary builder、POST endpoint、UI 按鈕與 deployment readiness smoke target，在 archive gate 後整理 catalog record identity、artifact traceability、DB commit/post-write smoke、archive manifest/retention policy 與後續 final closeout separate gate；API/UI 不讀 approval/Telegram token、不呼叫 LLM、不產報表、不派送 Telegram、不開 DB、不寫檔、不執行 CLI、不寫 catalog record、不 commit、不更新 review_state、不掛 scheduler。

 ## 📅 詳細更新日誌 (考古存檔)
 
+### 2026-05-21：市場情報 MCP 啟用證據審核
+- **V10.358 MCP activation evidence review**: 新增 `mcp_activation_evidence` read-only builder、GET/POST endpoint、UI redacted evidence 審核面板與 deployment readiness smoke target，讓操作員貼上 env/health/router/telemetry/fallback 證據後判斷能否補齊 external/internal MCP runtime 缺口。
+- **只讀安全邊界**: 本階段不保存 payload、不打 health、不啟動 MCP、不執行 docker/SSH、不開 DB、不抓外站、不掛 scheduler；payload 只允許 redacted/boolean，真實 secret 字串與任何 DB write/fetch/scheduler 證據會被阻擋。
+
 ### 2026-05-21：市場情報 MCP 完整度稽核
 - **V10.357 MCP completion audit**: 新增 `mcp_completion_audit` read-only builder、GET endpoint、UI 面板與 deployment readiness smoke target，彙整外部 MCP design/runtime、內部 tool contract/runtime、activation runbook 與 fetch gate 狀態。
 - **只讀安全邊界**: 本階段只做完整度稽核，不啟動 MCP、不打 health、不執行 docker/SSH、不開 DB、不寫檔、不抓外站、不掛 scheduler；外部 MCP runtime complete 仍需 operator 依 runbook 啟用與 health 驗證。
