**Lane:** id 9 (vibecoder-standalone-mavis)
**Commit deployed:** cc55e6b (b3037: VSIL renderer + cinema/render + Canvas + PreviewHost)
**VPS HEAD before:** bb08059 (b3030 watchdog fix, 12h uptime)
**VPS HEAD after:** cc55e6b

## Result

```
$ systemctl status vibecoder-bridge --no-pager
Active: active (running) since Tue 2026-09-15 16:01:46 UTC; 3s ago
ExecStartPre: deploy-gate.sh (status=0/SUCCESS)
ExecStartPre: git pull fv-gallery (status=0/SUCCESS)
Main PID: 1263921 (node)

$ curl -sI http://127.0.0.1:3003/
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
```

Bridge alive, returning JSON 404 on `/` (expected — JSON-only handler).

## Smoke tests

| Probe | URL | HTTP | Body |
|---|---|---|---|
| VPS loopback | `127.0.0.1:3003/api/agent/cinema/render` | **200** | base64 PNG, 400x300 |
| Public URL | `vibecoder.freshvibeapps.com/api/agent/cinema/render` | **200** | base64 PNG, 400x300 |
| Public root (cache probe) | `vibecoder.freshvibeapps.com/` | **200** | `etag: 6aa6c22f-528` |

Both probes return valid PNG base64. The new endpoint is live for users.

## Deploy mechanics

1. `git fetch origin` — saw 7 commits behind (origin/main HEAD was cc55e6b).
2. `git pull --ff-only origin main` — succeeded, no conflicts. Tracked file modifications: 0. Untracked files (.bak, .pre-cX-bak) ignored by .gitignore.
3. `systemctl restart vibecoder-bridge` — succeeded.
4. `deploy-gate.sh` ran first as ExecStartPre= with `status=0/SUCCESS` (no tracked-file dirty-tree).
5. `git pull --ff-only` in fv-gallery also ran first as ExecStartPre=.
6. Bridge came up at 16:01:46 UTC. PID 1263921. 37MB RSS.

## What ships to users

- `vsil-renderer.cjs` (NEW, 205 lines) — general-purpose VSIL scene → SVG → sharp → PNG
- `server.cjs` — ONE new route `POST /api/agent/cinema/render` at line 5267 (auth-guarded, delegates to vsil-renderer)
- `/api/agent/cinema/meme/templates`, `/api/agent/cinema/meme/structure`, `/api/agent/cinema/meme/render` — pre-existing cycle-12 routes
- `/api/agent/vsil/scene`, `/api/agent/origin/to-vsil`, `/api/agent/vsil/round-trip` — pre-existing cycle-11 routes
- `/api/agent/cinema/create_scene` — pre-existing
- (frontend deploy is OUT OF SCOPE — that's a separate Vite-build dispatch. The backend is live; the UI will pick up new chunks via Cloudflare cache invalidation or a separate build.)

## Constraints honoured

- [x] Only restarted the bridge. Did not modify any code on VPS.
- [x] `git pull --ff-only` succeeded without conflicts (clean ff).
- [x] `deploy-gate.sh` ran with status=0/SUCCESS.
- [x] No retries on smoke tests — both passed first try.
- [x] Did not modify doctrine, CI, src/, doctrine files, or anything outside `/opt/vibecoder-bridge`.

## VPS state after deploy

| Anchor | Value |
|---|---|
| /opt/vibecoder-bridge HEAD | cc55e6b |
| git status --porcelain | 0 tracked modifications, 20 untracked (.bak, .pre-cX-bak ignored) |
| Bridge PID | 1263921 |
| Bridge uptime | since 2026-09-15 16:01:46 UTC (~3s at deploy time) |
| Memory | 37.3 MB RSS |

## Note for operator

Frontend (Canvas.tsx + PreviewHostVSIL.tsx live PNG render) requires the Vite bundle to be rebuilt and Cloudflare Pages to redeploy for users to see the cinema canvas UI changes. The backend `/api/agent/cinema/render` is live now; UI-side this dispatch only completes half the loop.

If you want the UI live too: run `npm run build` in vibecoder-standalone (locally or via the existing deploy script) and let Cloudflare Pages pick it up. That is a separate dispatch.

## POV PNG saved

`/workspace/.audits-2026-09-15/cinema-deploy-pov.png` — 17,211 bytes, 640x480. Generated by the public endpoint just now. Proof the renderer is live for end users.
