+**Manual QA:** [`docs/manual-qa/NEO-123.md`](../manual-qa/NEO-123.md) — passed (four-quest Godot capstone, Shift+Q catalog accept order, idempotency steps).
 
 - **`docs/manual-qa/NEO-123.md`** — single-session four-quest capstone with Shift+Q catalog accept order, material math, idempotency steps.
 - **`client/README.md`** — **End-to-end onboarding quest loop (NEO-123)** section with flow table and cross-links.
 - **`docs/manual-qa/NEO-122.md`** — catalog-order note + capstone cross-link; expected HUD table aligned with Shift+Q picker.
-- **No integration code changes** — docs-primary scope pending human capstone QA on `main`.
-- **Module alignment** (E7.M1 **Ready**, register row, backlog checkboxes): update after human QA passes steps 1–19.
