+# PLAN_PR_LEVEL_12_7_REAL_NETWORK_COMPLETION_GATE
+
+## Purpose
+Define the final completion gate for the real network lane.
+
+## Scope
+- Define completion criteria across transport, server runtime, replication, hosting, and remote deployment
+- Define final validation checklist
+- Define readiness for closing network lane
+
+## In Scope
+- Cross-layer validation only
+- No new features
+- No expansion
+
+## Out of Scope
+- No 3D work
+- No gameplay additions
+- No tooling expansion
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- All prior network layers validated together
+- End-to-end session works (remote)
+- Stable repeatable execution
+
+## Roadmap Rule
+Markers only [ ] [.] [x]
+Advance completion gate only with full validation
