 - Windows 节点使用主动出站 WebSocket；不要为用户 PC 增加入站端口或 direct-url fallback。
 - Windows Python UI node 必须优先用目标 Windows 交互用户可见的原生 `python.exe` 启动。不要用 WSL Python、SSH helper 自带解释器、Bun runner 或非交互 Windows service 替代；解释器路径/版本必须进入 node profile 与状态证据。
+- HWPOD node 部署必须是 YAML-first + repo-owned CLI。只支持 owning YAML 已声明且 `trans` route 可解析、可访问的 node；CLI 可以在内部使用 `trans` 作为 transport，但操作者不得用手写 `trans`/PowerShell/cmd 完成安装、更新、配置或自启动。受控 CLI 缺失时先实现 CLI，不把手工部署当临时完成态。
 - 调查可只读访问现场。安装、注册、更新、停止旧 runner 或改 MDTODO source 属于运行面变更，必须先加载 `$dad-dev`；部署/rollout 同时加载 `$unidesk-cicd`，YAML 变更同时加载 `$unidesk-ymalops`。
 - 远端操作走 `$unidesk-trans`。普通 `trans` 保持短连接；GUI 进程不得作为透传子进程长挂。
 - Python node 当前若没有 workspace allowlist/规范化、注册认证或 capability parity，不得把“WebSocket 已连接”报告为 HWPOD/MDTODO 可用。

 ## Stop Conditions
 
 - Stop before mutation if the selected lane/source authority is unclear or stale.
+- Stop before deployment if the target is absent from owning YAML, has no resolvable/reachable `trans` route, or the repo-owned plan/status/apply CLI is missing.
 - Stop before starting a second runner if an existing process controls the same nodeId/resource.
 - Stop before MDTODO write/reindex if workspace containment is not enforced or the source can escape its declared root.
 - Treat node mismatch, auth failure, missing workspace, capability mismatch, legacy drift and source projection failure as different blockers.

 Read config fields only when needed and redact any unknown future Secret-bearing field. Prefer cloud `node.health`, `node.version`, `node.inventory` and `node.diagnostics` results for registration/runtime evidence.
 
+## Controlled Deployment
+
+Deployment belongs to a YAML-first UniDesk CLI command family, not to an operator recipe. The command family must provide bounded `plan`, `status` and confirmed `apply` actions and must:
+
+- resolve node/lane, Windows route, interactive user, pythonPath, runtime root, artifact/update origin, nodeId, SecretRefs, allowed workspace roots and login-start policy from owning YAML/configRefs;
+- reject targets without a resolvable and reachable `trans` route;
+- use `trans` only inside the CLI transport adapter;
+- verify downloaded artifact SHA before writing;
+- make apply idempotent and report written file fingerprints, config fingerprint, interpreter version, start registration, process/registry state and redacted blockers;
+- avoid launching the GUI as a child of the short SSH/trans request;
+- preserve an interactive Windows user session for GUI/tray and distinguish "installed" from "visible and registered".
+
+Until this command family exists, only read-only discovery is allowed. Manual download, remote PowerShell file writes, ad hoc Scheduled Tasks and direct process launch are diagnostics, not deployment evidence.
