This release marks the first DE-market launch of Acme Configurator. The core stakeholder flow — build, save, share — is fully implemented across ACME-1421, ACME-1422 and ACME-1423, with the UI delivered in #842, #858 and #851. On the platform side, fleet-api now fans out real-time pricing via SNS ACME-1430 / #312 and looks up DE-market VAT through a new external integration ACME-1431 / #314. One pricing rounding edge-case ACME-1455 / #871 is still in review and is the only item gating ready-status. The B2B variant remains a spike ACME-1460 — explicitly out of scope for 1.0.
Bridge reads this cluster as the user-visible heart of the release: build → save → share is now end-to-end. All three are independently shippable but were sequenced together because save-and-resume depends on the build flow's state machine and share-link reuses the same signed-URL pattern as save.
fleet-api now publishes pricing updates onto a new SNS topic, with dealer-portal as the first subscriber. DE-market launch requires VAT-inclusive pricing, so a new external lookup was added. This is the architectural delta of the release — and the reason Bridge has flagged the GDPR DPIA for re-review.
One rounding edge-case is still in code review and is the only item gating ready-status. The B2B variant is intentionally deferred — the spike concluded that brand-variant pricing rules need a separate model and is not blocking 1.0.

Summary
Configurator (Next.js) calls fleet-api for real-time pricing; pricing changes fan out via SNS → SQS to dealer-portal and analytics. DE-market VAT lookup is a new edge of this release.

All code-change PRs have linked test runs and the regression suite is 100% green on staging. R155 evidence pack is up to date and signed off in Confluence.
Bridge detected that #312 introduces a new data fan-out (pricing → dealer portal) and #314 adds a new external dependency (DE VAT API). Both change the data-flow diagram referenced in the current DPIA. Re-review required before go-live.
Markus' load test from 2026-05-11 passes at 10k concurrent users with the new SNS fan-out, P95 well under target.
