Full structural inspection of CAI v1.8 — 11 systems, command layer, verify_lib.php function-by-function analysis, shared infrastructure, known issues, and action items by system. Snapshot: platform_snapshot_08_01_26_631pm.zip.
All 11 systems have complete gov file sets with correct decade-suffix naming. All 10 required platform commands are present. The file naming migration (decade-suffix) is fully complete — no old-code files remain anywhere. One critical silent bug was found and patched live during this audit. Three follow-up items remain for David's direction.
Bug found and fixed: Three functions in verify_lib.php referenced the directory name 90-innerlife instead of the actual 90-inner. This caused silent failures on every platform health check for Inner Life [90] — handoff always showed MISSING, session status showed no DB, status board row was blank. Patched and deployed at 6:51 PM PT.
| Area | Result |
|---|---|
| Gov file sets (11 systems) | All complete — no missing files, no old-code files |
| Command layer | All 10 required commands present |
| verify_lib.php | 1 critical bug patched (3 functions, Inner Life [90]) |

Directory: systems/commands/ — All 10 required commands present.
| Command | Status | Description |
|---|---|---|
OPEN.php | Present | Full gated open: 5 checks, pickup, actionability gate, freshness sweep, knowledge gate, toolbox, jurisdiction check |
CLOSE.php | Present | SYNC + UPDATE + COMMS close + handoff write + session record |
FINAL_CLOSE.php | Present | CLOSE + deep read + decisions + knowledge + rich handoff. Uses $decade variable (not $decade_code) — distinct from all other commands. |
SYNC.php | Present | Quick mid-session: boards rebuild + sync_status write + COMMS ACTIVE |
CHECKPOINT.php | Present | Read-only 7-point gate check. Does NOT write anything (confirmed 07/29/26). |
REFRESH.php | Present | Re-reads gov files + inbox. No writes. |
SNAPSHOT.php | Present | Full platform ZIP to backups/snapshots/ — required before CLEAN. |
CLEAN.php | Present | Server [40] only. Orphan sweep + trash lifecycle. Requires fresh snapshot. |
PLATFORM_CHECK.php | Present | 57-point health sweep. Dashboard runs this every 120s. |
verify_lib.php | Present — Patched | 1,254-line shared verification engine. All commands depend on this. Bug fixed 08/01/26. See Section 5. |
26 additional commands present: ANNOUNCE, BACKUP, BROADCAST, CATCHUP, CHECK, CLEANBACKUPS, COMMANDS-00 through COMMANDS-95 (11 system files), DASHBOARD, HANDOFF, HISTORY, ML, ORIENT, RESTORE, SOLVE, UPDATE, VERIFY, build.php, gov-status-api.php, registry.php.
Supporting libraries: roster_lib.php and registry.php — both required by verify_lib.php at startup.
File: systems/commands/verify_lib.php · 1,254 lines · 68,178 bytes (post-patch) · v1.0 · 07/08/26
This is the shared verification engine for the entire platform. Every check used by OPEN, REFRESH, CLOSE, CHECKPOINT, and CLEAN lives here. No command reimplements logic — they all compose these functions. Modifying this file affects all commands simultaneously.
| Function | ~Line | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
auth() | 8 | OK | Token validation. Returns 401 JSON on failure. |
cai_time() / cai_now() / pt_time() | 42 | OK | Canonical time in America/Los_Angeles. pt_* aliases kept for backward compat — do not use in new code. |
resolve_system() | 50 | OK | Looks up a system by decade code or system_code in roster. |
check_five() | 59 | OK | 5-point gate: Clock, Tokens (reads closed_at, warns if >12h stale), Runway (caller-supplied), Clarity (RULES-REG reachable), File Status (system DB counts). Uses $decade_code correctly. |
do_pickup() | 127 | OK | Three-source pickup: community inbox (delivered=1), personal transfers (SEEN), broadcasts from comms.db (read_by updated). |
classify_actionable() | 191 | OK | Keyword classifier: ACTION—, MANDATORY, REQUIRED, URGENT, MUST, STANDING DUTY. Case-insensitive on subject+content. |
actionability_gate() | 200 | OK | Only flags items genuinely PENDING this session — not previously SEEN items. Blocking if any actionable item present. |
freshness_sweep() | 232 | OK | Runs only if pickup found new activity. Checks board.html decision count vs live records.db. Auto-fixes stale count. Non-blocking. |
knowledge_write_gate() | 279 | OK | Flags GOV-type or STANDING DUTY items that should trigger a knowledge/jurisdiction write. Soft signal — reminds AI, doesn't block. |
toolbox_branch() | 307 | OK | Reports registered personal tools. Never blocks. D114 self-improvement prompt on every OPEN. |
board_check() | 336 | OK | Checks board files exist, counts current, links valid. Never hard-blocks. Auto-fixes count mismatches. |
sync_check() | 420 | Monitor | Checks knowledge + jurisdiction files, runs board_check(), optionally posts. Uses $sys_code (not $decade_code) for file paths on lines 424–425. Works if callers pass decade codes. Needs caller audit to confirm. |
sync_run() | 487 | OK | Full SYNC v2.0: pickup → outbound-pending → board check/post → five checks → state report. Non-blocking. Uses $decade_code throughout. |
close_verify() | 613 | OK | Dual-write check: verifies decisions written to both sys_db and records.db. Session-write counts with date fallback. |
outbound_verify() | 656 | OK | Checks for financial activity without a matching outbound transfer. Used by CLOSE. |
fog_check() / runway_check() | 691 | OK | Ceiling 100 turns. Buckets: LOW/MED/HIGH/CRITICAL at 25-turn intervals. |
snapshot_age() | 719 | OK | Checks backups/snapshots/ for today's platform_snapshot_*.zip. Reports age of most recent if none today. |
inbox_check() | 755 | OK | Counts pending messages. Tries community.db, falls back to inbox.db. |
transfers_check() | 771 | OK | Counts pending (seen=0) transfers per decade. Returns total + by-system breakdown. |
open_sessions_check() | 789 | Patched | Scans all 11 system DBs for open sessions. Was using 90-innerlife — patched to 90-inner. |
handoff_age() | 814 | Patched | Reports handoff file age per system — 'today', 'Nd ago', or 'MISSING'. Was using 90-innerlife — patched to 90-inner. |
status_check() | 835 | OK | Aggregates: open_sessions + handoff_age + snapshot_age + inbox + transfers. Now correct for all 11 systems. |
commands_inventory() | 846 | OK | Scans commands/*.php, extracts version/date/size from docblocks. Excludes VERIFY_LIB and BUILD. |
master_list_append() | 865 | OK | Appends items to MASTER_LIST.md. Handles both Open Items and Resolved sections. |
boards_rebuild() | 890 | Patched | Regenerates board.html, decisions.html, status.html, commands.html. Was using 90-innerlife in status.html array — patched to 90-inner. |
board_page() | 955 | OK | Shared HTML wrapper for board pages. Generates comment map header. Dark-theme output. |
tier2_* (12 functions) | 977 | OK | Dispatcher stubs for UPDATE.php. Most return "run from session context" — call-through placeholders, not full implementations. |
pickup_with_task_gate() | 1071 | OK | Enhanced pickup: transfers + inbox + broadcasts. Auto task creation disabled 07/16/26 — Master maintains manually. Checks for open pickup tasks blocking CLOSE. |
handoff_gate_check() | 1169 | OK | Verifies handoff file updated this session. 60-second grace window. Blocking if not updated. |
verify_standards() | 1199 | OK | T515 post-deploy gate. Fetches live URL, checks: comment map header, top-bar, back/breadcrumb, bottom nav, VERSION stamp. |
Three functions referenced the directory name 90-innerlife. The actual directory is 90-inner. PHP's file_exists() returns false silently — no error was thrown, every check just returned wrong data for Inner Life [90] on every health check, every SYNC, every status board rebuild.
open_sessions_check() — Line 793: Built DB path as systems/90-innerlife/data/90-sys.db. File not found. Inner Life [90] was never reported as having an open session, even when one was active.
handoff_age() — Line 818: Built path as systems/90-innerlife/gov/handoff-90.md. File not found. Inner Life [90] always returned MISSING for handoff age, even when handoff-90.md was current and fresh.
boards_rebuild() — Line 918: Built system DB path for status.html using wrong directory. Inner Life [90] row always showed — for decisions, sessions, and last opened.
// Same change in 3 locations — open_sessions_check(), handoff_age(), boards_rebuild() - ['80-kitchen','08'],['90-innerlife','09'],['95-travel','10'], + ['80-kitchen','08'],['90-inner','09'],['95-travel','10'],

Two snapshot systems run in parallel:
backups/snapshots/platform_snapshot_MM_DD_YY_Xam.zip — full platform (~30MB). Retention: 2 versions.backups/snapshots/CAI_SNAPSHOT_MM_DD_YY_Xam.zip — gov files + records DB only. Same retention.File: systems/governance/ORIENT-REG.md · Last updated: 07/21/26 · Priority: Medium
The orientation document's system registry (lines ~17–27) lists old pre-decade system codes. Any AI session reading this during ORIENT and using it as a code reference will route COMMS or transfers to the wrong address.

Owner: Admin [00] or Master [10]. Claude Code can write this patch immediately on David's instruction.
Path: systems/community/comms/error_log · Size: 13,534,886 bytes (13.8 MB)
An error log this large indicates persistent, unresolved errors firing in the comms API layer (api.php or router.php). The comms.db database is operational. The error is in the logging, likely hitting on every comms API call or on a recurring schedule.
Recommended steps:
Owner: Server [40] to investigate. Claude Code can read the log and write patches on direction.
14 PHP files found in the web root. All are recognizable utility or migration scripts.
| File | Disposition |
|---|---|
file-reader.php | KEEP — core read endpoint, production |
file_write_web.php | KEEP — core write endpoint, production |
api_restore.php | KEEP — emergency restore for records-api. Self-deletes when run. Keep until confirmed unneeded. |
sync_debug.php | SAFE TO DELETE — debug only, no production function |
gov_migrate.php | REMOVE WHEN READY — migration complete 08/01/26 |
legacy_rename.php | REMOVE WHEN READY — migration complete 08/01/26 |
gov_scan.php · gov_scan2.php · gov_final_check.php | Low risk — read-only scanners |
cmd_audit.php · vl_audit.php · vl_fix.php · vl_read.php | Low risk — audit/fix utilities |
master_handoff_fix.php | Low risk — one-time fix tool |
| Issue | Location | Owner |
|---|---|---|
| 77 staging files (~400 KB) | backend/tmp/ | Server [40] — run backend/jobs/tmp-wipe.php |
| error_log 455 KB | backend/tools/error_log | Server [40] — read and rotate |
| Junk test files + 3 b64 archives (~270 KB) | systems/governance/ | Admin [00] — remove test-chunk.md, test-q2.md, archives |
| Double-nested media path | backend/backend/web/media/ | Server [40] — investigate before removing |
| Duplicate health backup dirs | backups/70-Health/ and backups/70-health/ | Server [40] — consolidate |
| Old pre-decade archive | backups/Executive open/ | Server [40] — move or delete |
| Inner Life v1.5 migration unprocessed | systems/v1.5_local-system/ | Inner [90] — 23 gov files + 13 system files staged and ready |
| Stale handoff headers (cosmetic) | Builder [20], Daily [50], Health [70] handoff content | Self-corrects on next CLOSE — no action needed |
Review this audit. Direct follow-up on ORIENT-REG (Section 7), comms error log (Section 8), and pre-existing structural items (Section 10). Confirm whether Master and Builder missing H/J EXEC_OPEN variants at system root is intentional.
Update ORIENT-REG.md system codes (Section 7). Eight lines to change. Claude Code can write this patch immediately on David's instruction.
Investigate comms error_log 13.8 MB. Run tmp-wipe.php on backend/tmp/. Investigate backend/backend/web/media/ double-nested path. Consolidate the 70-Health / 70-health duplicate backup dirs. Rotate backend/tools/error_log (455 KB).
Audit all callers of sync_check() to confirm they pass decade codes (10, 20, 30…), not old two-digit codes (01, 02, 03…). Check SYNC.php and CLOSE.php as primary targets. Claude Code can run this trace on direction.
Coordinate with David on applying the v1.5 migration files in systems/v1.5_local-system/. 23 governance files and 13 system files are staged and ready to apply.
Available to execute on any item above. Audit mode D213 is in effect — no new builds without David's direction. Ready to write: ORIENT-REG patch, comms error_log read, sync_check() caller trace, sync_debug.php deletion, or any targeted follow-up.
