+## Validation
+
+### Linux cross-build gate (domedog, 2026-06-20)
+
+The source tree is cross-platform (FreeBSD + Linux). Before tagging, the full
+Rust gate was verified on Linux (`domedog.pro`, Debian):
+
+```sh
+cargo fmt --check                              # ✅ clean
+cargo build --workspace --release              # ✅ 4m 31s
+cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings  # ✅ zero warnings
+cargo test --workspace                         # ✅ 228 passed, 0 failed
+```
+
+228 tests cover all 13 crates including unit, integration, golden, and
+live-socket tests. This confirms the `0.11.0` tree compiles and passes on
+Linux. FreeBSD runtime validation (`cargo test` on FreeBSD 15) is the
+remaining step before the first poudriere build.
