+## Hosted Playground smoke test
+
+On October 21, 2026 (UTC), the released `fullbleed@0.8.0` invoice starter was
+bundled with its locked Wrangler version and exercised in Cloudflare's
+[account-free Workers Playground](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/playground/).
+The sample, zero-total, maximum-total, five-page, escaped-text and post-error
+invoices produced exactly the same PDF bytes as the retained local fixtures.
+An independent PDF reader checked all ten pages and expected text. Ten invalid
+inputs returned their expected status and error code; method and route checks
+also passed. The temporary preview was replaced with a `410` response afterward.
+
+The [verification record](../verification/cloudflare-playground-0.8.0.json)
+includes the uploaded module hashes, output hashes and source references. This
+was a bounded sandbox smoke test. CPU and memory were not measured, and it was
+not a load test or production account deployment. The Playground's
