 ### Use the external Go executable in printed recovery commands
 
+**Completed.** All three Go invocations use external lookup through `PATH`. The handoff regression reproduces the shell-function failure before the fix and verifies reconciliation afterward.
+
 **Evidence:** Before host normalization, the
 [command formatter](../../cmd/releasekit/main.go) emitted
 `env GOWORK=off GOTOOLCHAIN=local go ...`, which resolves Go through `PATH`.
