+## Analysis Summary
+
+- **ha-config-bootstrap** is **~95% complete**. All 10 requirements have verified implementation assets. All 22 leaf subtasks (1.1–10.2) are done.
+- **Remaining work**: Tasks 11.1–11.5 (manual integration tests documented in `manual-tests.md`).
+- **Cross-spec verification**: `election-iomgr-refactor` superseded the blocking-pthread election path while preserving all ha-config-bootstrap requirements. The two specs are consistent. `ha-repl-hardening` extends Req 5 (majority-commit WAL) and Req 8 (majority-commit config) with heartbeat-driven convergence — no conflicts.
+- **Cleanup debt**: `am_i_primary()` (ha.c:869), `ha_wait_for_heartbeat_or_timeout`, and `start_heartbeat_listener()`/`stop_heartbeat_listener()` stubs are dead code — safe to delete in a dedicated cleanup commit (tracked in election-iomgr-refactor/research.md).

 ### Gap 1: Task 11.1 — Concurrent startup and config-fresh election
 - **What's needed**: 3-node cluster starts simultaneously; verify only one elects primary; config-fresh node wins.
