 ## 📅 詳細更新日誌 (考古存檔)
 
 ### 2026-05-24：PChome 近門檻身份回收第二輪
+- **V10.493 市場情報 MCP Fetch Candidate Handoff Review gate**: 新增 `/api/market_intel/mcp_fetch_candidate_handoff_review` 與 UI preview，只審核 parser review 後的候選交接包；要求 source/candidate key 完全對齊、queue policy 維持 `manual_candidate_review` / `preview_only`、候選數維持小批次，且 API 不建立 queue、不寫 DB、不讀 artifact、不連外、不掛 scheduler。
 - **V10.491 市場情報 MCP Fetch Result Parser Review gate**: 新增 `/api/market_intel/mcp_fetch_result_parser_review` 與 UI preview，只審核操作員 shell parser 後貼回的結構化摘要；API 不讀 artifact、不執行 parser CLI、不抓外站、不寫檔、不開 DB、不掛 scheduler，且會阻擋 raw HTML/body/snapshot、secret/token 欄位與 side-effect flags。
 - **V10.489 PChome 低分同款人工覆核回收與 gate-pass 風險邊界**: `marketplace_product_matcher` 新增三個窄範圍 focused identity：TS6 超美白香氛誘霜 120g/ml、W 修護保養蝸牛特潤修護面膜 6 片、Derma 大地 Eco 植萃護膚油 2 入。這些樣本只升到 `identity_review / manual_review`，不進 `price_alert_exact`；同版補 Clarins 身體油不同線、命名組合品數量反轉、isLeaf 香型數量不一致 hard veto，HOOOME 大理石暖燈單側設計差留人工覆核。
 - **V10.488 市場情報 MCP Fetch Run Receipt gate**: 新增 `/api/market_intel/mcp_fetch_run_receipt` 與 UI preview，只審核操作員 shell dry-run 後貼回的 receipt；API 不執行 CLI、不抓外站、不寫檔、不開 DB、不掛 scheduler，且會阻擋 secret/token 欄位與 side-effect flags。
