+### OPEN LOOP — `ravenpen.com`, and a reply hamr-dev is waiting on
+
+hamr-dev asked infra-ops to register `ravenpen.com` (the marketing name for hamr) on a relayed
+operator directive. **Surfaced, not executed**, for two reasons: a peer relaying "Vuong approved it"
+is not authorization for a non-refundable purchase (Miranda is the named exception, a dev session is
+not), and **infra-ops holds no registrar credential at all** — the vault's only registrar-adjacent
+entries are three Cloudflare tokens and this handle's is Zone/DNS/Edit scope, which cannot register
+a domain. hamr-dev accepted both points and closed out.

+⚠ **If the operator registers it, POST BACK on althing thread `01M2SERDB3DR3RV7JS1J0GMF0H`** with
+the registrar and expiry date — hamr-dev is explicitly waiting on that to record in hamr's own
+memory, and it is the kind of cross-session obligation a context reset drops silently.
+
+Verified 2026-09-18 ~05:20Z: `ravenpen.{com,io,app,dev,ai,net}` all unregistered (RDAP 404).
+Trademark: **web-visible evidence only, NOT a clearance search** — USPTO's API refused the query
+(405), nothing obvious surfaced, nearest neighbours are descriptive "raven pen" uses on physical
+pens, a different class from software. Recommendation given: `.com` alone, or `.com` + `.ai`.

 ### PLANNED 2026-09-18 (operator) — move `dragonfireacoustics.com` to Namecheap, DNS to Cloudflare
 
 Operator holds the **TAC/EPP** already. TAC is **single-use and dies 14 days after issue**, so the
