+## F. Post-v1.8.9 verification on shorty-s (2026-09-01 evening)
+
+- v1.8.9 applied; payment pipeline confirmed live: a 400,000 sat payment
+  SUCCEEDED through the v2 router route; the 404s are gone.
+- App gate serves TLS on 4080/8334/18083/50002 (401 gate pages over https) —
+  https app frames now answer. Mempool over https requires a hard refresh
+  (PWA precaches the old bundle).
+- **"No route to the recipient" on sends is real**: the invoices being tested
+  are from framework-pt, whose only channel (peer "Sandwich Farm",
+  0224c955…) is flagged `disabled` on BOTH policy sides in the routing graph
+  after today's node churn — the peer connection never re-established
+  (LND's reconnect backoff can stretch to hours). A disabled edge is
+  unroutable in both directions, so payments to/from framework-pt fail
+  regardless of shorty's 583k outbound. Fix: `lncli connect` the peer, wait
+  for the channel_update to re-enable the edge (~minutes), then re-test.
+- The 577k attempt earlier failed for a different, correct reason: it exceeded
+  the channel's spendable balance (583,542 − 9,850 reserve ≈ 573k max).
+
 framework-pt immediate workaround until its OTA lands: open the dashboard by
 IP (`http://192.168.x.x`) instead of `framework-pt.local`, and/or clear the
 cached policy once via `chrome://net-internals/#hsts` → Delete domain security
