+Updated: 2026-05-10 14:00 UTC
 
 ## Newest Work
 
+- TIP Stock tab status cleanup on 2026-05-10 UTC:
+  - removed global `Stock ⚠DEMO` nav marker because stock observations are live data
+  - current live stock observations:
+    - QSFPTEK: `17990` observations, `199` SKUs, latest `2026-05-10 13:16 UTC`
+    - FS.COM: `871` observations, `322` SKUs, latest `2026-05-09 11:57 UTC`
+  - detailed demo warnings remain only where individual quantities/signals are still synthetic or derived
+  - deployed dashboard HTML to Erik and restarted `tip-api`
+
 - TIP Blog Engine Hot Topics cleanup on 2026-05-10 UTC:
   - fixed the repeated/irrelevant Hot Topics problem the user reported earlier
   - `packages/api/src/routes/hot-topics.ts` now filters bad market-intelligence artifacts:

+
+Date: 2026-05-10 UTC

+- QSFPTEK:
+  - `17990` observations
+  - `199` SKUs
+  - latest observation `2026-05-10 13:16 UTC`
+- FS.COM:
+  - `871` observations
+  - `322` SKUs
+  - latest observation `2026-05-09 11:57 UTC`
+
+## Change
+
+- Removed the global `⚠DEMO` marker from the Stock tab.

+
+## Deployment
+
+- Deployed `packages/dashboard/index.html` to Erik.
+- Restarted `tip-api`.
