+```
+

+## Closeout Gates
+
+- Every expected returning student is either submitted, intentionally not returning, withdrawn, expelled, or administratively resolved.
+- No admission-under-review registrations remain without an owner.
+- No open enrollment placement, make-up exam, age, date, or financial exception flags remain.
+- No failed registration-opening email records remain without retry notes or corrected contact data.
+- Final class placement counts match administrator-approved class rosters.
+- Registration audit history is retained before any school-year status is archived.
+
+## Exception Review
+
+The closeout report groups exceptions into:
+
+- `unsubmitted_returning_student`
+- `pending_enrollment`
+- `unresolved_flag`
+- `failed_email`
+
+Each row should be assigned to an administrator, resolved, and rechecked before the school year transition is considered complete.
+
+## Archive Package
+
+Save these artifacts for the school-year transition record:
+
+- Phase 6 release audit JSON.
+- Phase 7 daily or weekly monitor snapshots.
+- Phase 8 closeout report JSON.
+- Phase 8 closeout CSV export, if exceptions existed.
+- Final administrator approval note for closing registration.
