+- Portal is now tracked on a Node 24 baseline aligned with the API runtime line.
+- Portal linting should use the current ESLint / Next 16-compatible path rather than removed `next lint` behavior.
+- confirmed-unused HUD wrapper components and stale legacy CSS should stay removed rather than being reintroduced as dead scaffolding.

+- Portal should preserve compatibility with API auth and hosted IDE flows even when API token verification is tightened.
 
 ## Tracking rule
 - when Portal work completes, remove it from `OPEN_ITEMS.md`
