-## App-store catalogue change
-
-**App id:** `io.pilot.____`
-**Version:** `____`  (new app / version bump)
-**Publisher:** `____` (must appear in `pilot-protocol/catalog` `publishers/registry.json`)
-
-### Automated gate
-- [ ] `catalogue-validate` CI is green (sha, manifest, signature, `<ns>.help`, id/version, no downgrade).
-
-### Reviewer checklist (do not merge until all checked)
-- [ ] Publisher is in `publishers/registry.json` (or added in a linked PR).
-- [ ] **Grants are proportional** to the described function. Scrutinize any
-      `proc.exec`, `fs.write`, `key.sign`, or broad `net.dial` target.
-- [ ] `description` accurately reflects what the app does.
-- [ ] Backend host (for `net.dial`) is one the publisher controls.
-- [ ] Bundle is released on **`pilot-protocol/catalog`**, not `TeoSlayer/pilotprotocol`.
-- [ ] Existing catalogue entries are preserved (only the intended app changed).

-### Notes
-<!-- anything a reviewer should know: new caps, backend changes, etc. -->
