Append initial smoke-test marker to the QA checklist
Intent: Prove that the post-receive hook triggers on the first push to the new branch by writing a timestamped creation line at the end of the manual QA document.

+Hosted forge smoke branch created at 2026-03-19T19:00Z.
A blank line followed by a created at timestamp is appended after the existing checklist item on line 85. This serves as the initial proof that the forge's post-receive hook ran when the branch qa/forge-smoke-20260319-1 was first pushed.
Because the line is purely additive and sits outside any numbered checklist, it does not alter the QA procedure itself — it is evidence metadata.
Append first update marker
Intent: Verify the post-receive hook fires again on a subsequent push to the same branch, confirming idempotent hook behavior.

A second timestamp line (updated at 2026-03-19T19:45Z) is appended 45 minutes after branch creation. This confirms that pushing additional commits to an already-existing branch still triggers the hook and that no duplicate-suppression logic silently swallows the event.
Append second update marker
Intent: Perform a rapid follow-up push (5 minutes later) to stress-test hook reliability under quick successive pushes.

+Hosted forge smoke branch updated at 2026-03-19T19:50Z.
A third timestamp (updated at 2026-03-19T19:50Z) lands only 5 minutes after the previous one. The short interval validates that the hook does not debounce or rate-limit consecutive pushes, which is the expected behavior for a post-receive hook on a hosted forge.
Taken together, the three markers (one creation + two updates) give reviewers concrete, auditable evidence that the hook executed reliably across the lifetime of this smoke-test branch.
