 ### Blocked work summary
 
-- **Phase 3 native embeds** ([#114](https://github.com/traverse-framework/reference-apps/issues/114)–[#116](https://github.com/traverse-framework/reference-apps/issues/116)) — Blocked on Traverse delivery: [#750](https://github.com/traverse-framework/Traverse/issues/750) (publish Spec 071 `runtime/runtime.wasm` + consumer evidence), [#751](https://github.com/traverse-framework/Traverse/issues/751) (native public API output parity + scriptable test doubles), [#752](https://github.com/traverse-framework/Traverse/issues/752) (Native Embedder Baseline 1). Swift/#114 also needs [#647](https://github.com/traverse-framework/Traverse/issues/647). Kotlin (#648) + .NET (#649) loaders already shipped; Rust/Web embeds done ([#117](https://github.com/traverse-framework/reference-apps/issues/117)/[#113](https://github.com/traverse-framework/reference-apps/issues/113)).

+### Flip rules (native embeds)
+
+When polling Traverse / during `/app-refs-ops` backlog gardening, **update Project 2 status** — do not leave stale Blocked/Ready:
+
+| App-Refs | Flip Blocked → Ready when closed/Done |
+|---|---|
+| [#115](https://github.com/traverse-framework/reference-apps/issues/115), [#116](https://github.com/traverse-framework/reference-apps/issues/116) | Traverse [#750](https://github.com/traverse-framework/Traverse/issues/750) **and** [#751](https://github.com/traverse-framework/Traverse/issues/751) |
+| [#114](https://github.com/traverse-framework/reference-apps/issues/114) | Traverse [#750](https://github.com/traverse-framework/Traverse/issues/750), [#751](https://github.com/traverse-framework/Traverse/issues/751), **and** [#647](https://github.com/traverse-framework/Traverse/issues/647) |
+
+On flip: Status → Ready, Agent → Unassigned, refresh Project Note, update this section + README **What's Blocked**, comment on the issue. If an upstream ticket reopens or loses the artifact, return App-Refs items to Blocked.
+
 Update this section when a PR changes platform status (see PR template checklist).
