+# docs: LFG closure after operator proof (plan 032)
+
+## Summary
+
+Plan 032 landed `run-operator-proof.sh` and the Podman smoke fix. This slice aligns operator/GUI docs with the new proof path, re-syncs the linux-x64 bridge, and re-runs the offline smoke gate before PR refresh.
+
+## Requirements
+
+| ID | Requirement |
+|----|-------------|
+| R1 | `docs/gui-zip-recurring-scrape-bridge.md` documents `run-operator-proof.sh` |
+| R2 | `scripts/sync-gui-bridge-doc.sh` copies updated bridge to `../DiscordChatExporter.linux-x64/RECURRING-SCRAPE.md` |
+| R3 | `.docs/Recurring-Scrape-Setup.md` mentions operator proof in quick path |
+| R4 | `DCE_MIN_FREE_MB=0 ./scripts/run-all-smokes.sh` passes (19 scripts) |
+| R5 | PR #1538 body notes plan 033 / smoke count |
