 ## Stage 2: Add shared resolved-credential forwarding
 
-Status: Not started.
+Status: Complete (2026-09-25).
+
+Verification: `go test ./internal/adapters/subprocess`,
+`go test -race ./internal/adapters/subprocess`, and `git diff --check` passed.
 
 Preparation: `internal/adapters/subprocess/run.go`, its environment/redaction
 helpers and tests; `internal/adapters/notarius/subprocess.go`;
