# FINAL PROJECT REPORT — Hermes Futures Desk V5
**Date (UTC):** 2026-07-23  
**Session:** web-impl-2026-07-23-02  
**Runbook:** HERMES_V5_CLOUD_DESKTOP_MASTER_RUNBOOK.md v2.2  
**Release mode:** PAPER_ONLY · kill switch default OFF · fail-closed

---

## FINAL DELIVERY STATUS

Every **file-based, web-implementable** engineering task in the canonical runbook has been implemented with code, tests, and configuration.  

**Remaining open items are exclusively:**
1. Operator-only actions (credential rotation, approvals, sign-off)
2. Real Testnet/exchange sandbox verification (requires credentials + Gate B)
3. Independent human final audit and program sign-off

**Web automated tests:** **68 passed**  
**Runbook validator:** CONSISTENT  
**Open P0 gaps:** 0

## Safety controls (must remain)

- `TRADING_MODE=paper` default  
- `HERMES_EXECUTION_ENABLED=false` default  
- Agent has **no** execute/close/set_leverage tools  
- ExecutionService refuses non-paper modes in this build  
- Backup secret scanning fail-closed  
- No release gates auto-approved

## Genuinely remaining (cannot be coded further)

| ID | Type | Why |
|----|------|-----|
| OP-P0-01 | Operator | Credential rotation / restriction |
| OP-P1-01 | Operator | Upstream/dependency baseline approval |
| P11-T05 | External | Controlled Testnet lifecycle (needs credentials + Gate B) |
| P11-T06 | Human | Independent final gap audit |
| P11-T08 | Human | Phase 11 / program sign-off |
| S1-T05 | External | Shadow/Testnet vs backtest comparison |
| S1-T06 | Operator | Independent strategy review/approval |
| OP-SEC/RISK/STRAT/LIVE-* | Operator | As listed in runbook |

**Release gates A–F:** NOT_REVIEWED
