+# HyperTwist Phase 4 template launch status confidence-lane packet
+
+Created on `2026-05-07`
+
+Status:
+
+- first-party HyperTwist packet
+- bounded Phase `4` dashboard status-line slice
+
+## Purpose
+
+This packet moves the comparable-peer confidence-lane result up into the live `[Template Launch]` status sentence itself. Before launch, an operator can now see in one line whether the preferred template is winning on broader analytics while its split-confidence lane is already eligible for future reinforcement or is still being suppressed by peer-no-evidence-heavy history.
+
+## Scope
+
+Bounded lane:
+
+- add a concise status-clause formatter for comparable-peer confidence state
+- only emit that clause when the preferred template was chosen by the broader `TemplateScopedOutcomeSignal` analytics tie-break path
+- append the clause to the existing live template-launch status sentence without widening persisted provenance or dashboard layout
+
+Out of scope:
+
+- changing selector policy or thresholds
+- changing the long-form detail/recap/history analytics fragments
+- widening repo aggregation
+- adding another dashboard section
+
+## What landed
+
+Primary code changes:
+
+- `UnrealHyperTwist/Source/UnrealHyperTwist/Private/HyperTwistTraining/HyperTwistCoachDashboardWidget.cpp`
+  - added a short comparable-peer confidence status formatter
+  - when the preferred template is an analytics tie-break winner on broader outcome signal, the live status sentence now says whether the template's split-confidence lane is:
+    - already `confidence-eligible` for future reinforcement on comparable-peer-backed history
+    - or still `suppressed` by peer-no-evidence-heavy history
+  - the status clause includes comparable-peer outcome count/share and peer-no-evidence count
+
+## Product effect
+
+The operator no longer has to open detail text to understand the preferred template's confidence posture:
+
+- the live `[Template Launch]` status line itself now explains the current confidence-lane state for broader-analytics winners
+- the status sentence stays unchanged for primary-priority picks and `SelectorSplitConfidence` picks
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- live template-launch status sentence includes comparable-peer confidence posture for broader outcome-signal analytics winners
+- status sentence distinguishes `confidence-eligible` from `suppressed`
+- status sentence includes comparable-peer count/share and peer-no-evidence count
+- full product build succeeds
+
+## Validation checklist
+
+1. build `UnrealHyperTwist.sln` / `UnrealHyperTwistEditor`
+2. confirm broader outcome-signal preferred-template status includes the confidence-lane clause
+3. confirm primary-priority and `SelectorSplitConfidence` status sentences remain unchanged
+4. confirm the clause distinguishes confidence-eligible vs suppressed with counts
+
+That is the packet.
