 - Pricing refresh enqueue now resolves its provider from an active Product mapping and rejects unmapped Products explicitly.
 - Local development and CI can enable a deterministic fixture provider for end-to-end refresh coverage; production provider adapters remain explicitly configured deployment boundaries.
 - Pricing refresh jobs have a bounded three-attempt retry policy with exponential backoff. The worker schedules completed-job cleanup using configurable retention days and cleanup interval settings.
-- Bulk archive, asynchronous bulk pricing refresh, and Product-level bulk tag updates are implemented through the seller-scoped API boundary; bulk status changes remain.
+- Bulk archive, asynchronous bulk pricing refresh, and Product-level bulk tag updates are implemented through the seller-scoped API boundary. Inventory `SOLD` remains intentionally exclusive to the audited sale workflow.
 - Admin inventory JSON export is implemented at `GET /api/v1/admin/exports/inventory.json` and serializes seller-scoped admin DTOs as a downloadable attachment.
 - Admin inventory CSV export is implemented at `GET /api/v1/admin/exports/inventory.csv` with escaped spreadsheet-safe fields and seller-scoped admin DTOs.
 - Admin inventory Excel-compatible export is implemented at `GET /api/v1/admin/exports/inventory.xls` using the XML workbook format and seller-scoped admin DTOs.
 - Seller-scoped admin settings are implemented through `GET/PATCH /api/v1/admin/settings` with strict category allowlists and server-side partial-update merging.
 - Seller-scoped saved-view CRUD is implemented through the documented admin API with validated filter maps and repository-level ownership checks.
-- Large inventory JSON exports can be enqueued through `POST /api/v1/admin/exports/inventory.json/jobs` and polled through `GET /api/v1/admin/exports/jobs/:id`; the worker owns claim, completion, and failure processing.
+- Large inventory JSON exports can be enqueued through `POST /api/v1/admin/exports/inventory.json/jobs`, polled through `GET /api/v1/admin/exports/jobs/:id`, and downloaded after completion; the worker owns claim, completion, and failure processing.
 - Completed asynchronous inventory JSON exports can be downloaded through `GET /api/v1/admin/exports/jobs/:id/download`.
 - PostgreSQL restore verification and image snapshot restore scripts are implemented and covered by shell tests as part of the deployment drill workflow.
 - `npm audit --omit=dev` currently reports zero production vulnerabilities. Re-run the audit after dependency changes and review development-dependency findings separately before production releases.
