## Learnings

<!-- Append learnings below -->
- 2026-03-16: Bug triage for `excel-mcp-bug-report.md` resolved into one canonical squad direction: Bugs 1 and 2 are regression-first defect candidates, Bug 4 is the current enhancement candidate, and Bugs 3 and 5 stay in docs/discoverability scope unless a later API review justifies aliases.
- 2026-03-21: Real workbook reproduction milestone: Nate reproduced intermittent Excel process survival after failed PQ refresh using actual customer workbook. Bug confirmed not in ComInterop layer (7 control tests GREEN), likely in shutdown sequencing above. Logged orchestration milestone for production team investigation.
