-#### Stage 3A — Multi-select groundwork (read/state only first)
+#### ~~Stage 3A — Multi-select groundwork (read/state only first)~~ ✅ COMPLETE
 
-##### Goal
+> Merged `feat/multi-select-groundwork` → `main` (2026-05-22).
-
+> Added multi-selection state to `ProductPublishingController` (`toggleMultiSelect`, `clearMultiSelection`, `selectAllVisible`, `isMultiSelected`, `multiSelectedIds`, `multiSelectedCount`). Updated `ProductDraftCard` with optional leading checkbox for multi-select mode. Added `_MultiSelectBar` to `ProductPublishingPage` with selected-count display, Select All, and Clear actions. Single-item preview selection preserved independently. 15 new multi-select tests added (262 total `feature_wordpress` tests passing). No bulk writes introduced.
-Prepare for future bulk actions without implementing bulk writes yet.
-
-##### Requirements
-
-- add selection model for multiple items
-- show selected-count UI
-- allow clear selection
-- preserve current single-item preview behavior where appropriate
-- do not add bulk publish/edit/delete actions yet
-
-##### Definition of done
-
-- multi-select state exists and is tested
-- no bulk writes introduced
 
 #### Stage 3B — List efficiency improvements
