+Purpose: execute Phase-20 deprecation-in-place without deleting artifacts.
+
+Completed this batch:
+- Excluded Phase 20 from the primary samples launch surface
+- Retained all Phase 20 sample artifacts/pages on disk
+- Captured explicit Phase 20 deprecation note in reports
+- Validated deprecation is backed by parity-gate PASS evidence
+
+Primary validation artifact:

+Phase 20 Deprecation Note
+Generated: 2026-04-24T22:11:27.628Z

+Status:
+- Phase 20 remains on disk for compatibility/regression checks.
+- Phase 20 is deprecated as a primary launch surface for Samples2Tools lane.
+- Primary sample discovery now excludes phase 20 in samples/index.render.js.
+- Replacement non-Phase-20 mapping coverage and launch parity are validated in batch 34.

+- [x] Keep `Phase 20 - Tool Preset Integration` active until Samples2Tools parity is execution-validated.
 - [x] Define parity gate:
 - sample-to-tool launch coverage equals or exceeds current Phase 20 matrix intent.

 - [x] Prefer semantically exact sample-tool matches over high volume.
