+## Val's temporary VoiceOver deferral, 2026-11-01
+
+Val instructed this session: “skip voiceover for now and just proceed”. For CF-3, this defers V1–V3 (desktop VoiceOver) and P5 (iPhone VoiceOver) for now. None of these rows was run or passed. The historical Run 1 table above is preserved; this later decision supersedes its open status for those four rows. This records a temporary deferral, not completed accessibility acceptance.
+
+| Rows | Current status | Authority |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| V1, V2, V3, P5 | Deferred for now; not run | Val's instruction in this session, quoted above |
+| D1–D5 | Open; awaiting Val's keyboard-only results | No result reported |
+| P1–P4 | Open; awaiting Companion TestFlight confirmation and physical-phone results | No result reported |
+| P6 | Open; requires an older Companion at hand or Val's written deferral | No result reported |
+
+Totals: 0 passed, 0 failed, 4 deferred for now, 10 open. Proceed with the non-VoiceOver rows. #276 remains open while those rows lack results or written deferrals; no simulator or e2e result substitutes for Val's report.
+
+## Run 2: non-VoiceOver candidate prepared 2026-11-01
+
+Prepared after Val's instruction to proceed. These are setup facts, not human acceptance results. The Run 1 artifact and evidence remain unchanged.
