+- Each commit represents a single functional change
+- All commits include proper co-authorship attribution
+
+### 2. GitHub Push ✅
+- All commits pushed to origin/main
+- Repository synchronized with production deployment
+
+### 3. Production Deployment ✅
+```bash
+# Deployment command
+./scripts/deploy-full-project-SAFE.sh
+
+# Files transferred: 2,701,014 bytes
+# Speedup: 12.46x (rsync efficiency)
+```
+
+### 4. Security Verification ✅

+```
+
+### 5. Server Restart ✅
+```bash
+# Restarted production systemd service
+sudo systemctl restart tractatus
+
+# Status: active (running)
+# Memory: 72.4M (limit: 2.0G)

+
+## Known Issues
+
+### MongoDB Migrations (Non-Critical)
+Production MongoDB requires authentication for direct script access. The following migrations could not be run:
+
+1. **inst_035** (Precedent database rule) - Shows warning in logs but doesn't affect functionality
+2. **Value pluralism documents** - Documents not in production MongoDB (but PDFs are accessible)
+
+**Impact**: Minimal. Server runs cleanly with all services operational. The warnings are informational.
+
+**Resolution**: These can be run manually with proper MongoDB credentials or via production admin interface.

+
+## Value Pluralism Features Deployed
+
+### Core Principles (4)
+- ✅ Foundational Pluralism (no automatic value ranking)
+- ✅ Legitimate Disagreement (valid outcome when values incommensurable)
+- ✅ Moral Remainder (document what's lost)
+- ✅ Provisional Decisions (reviewable when context changes)
+
+### Moral Frameworks (6)
+- ✅ Rights-based (Deontological)
+- ✅ Consequentialist (Utilitarian)
+- ✅ Virtue Ethics
+- ✅ Care Ethics
+- ✅ Communitarian
+- ✅ Indigenous Relational
+
+### Communication Styles (5)
+- ✅ Formal Academic
+- ✅ Casual Direct (Australian/NZ with pub test)
+- ✅ Te Reo Māori Protocol
+- ✅ Japanese Formal (honne/tatemae aware)
+- ✅ Plain Language
+
+### Urgency Tiers (4)
+- ✅ CRITICAL (minutes to hours)
+- ✅ URGENT (days)
+- ✅ IMPORTANT (weeks)
+- ✅ ROUTINE (months)
