Orientation/bugfix day: fixed the real bug behind Travel's stuck-open registry (SYNC.php dashboard-ping was overriding a correct status-preserve safeguard), helped USR369 set up a working Google Drive OAuth client for X-plore end to end, and fixed file_write_web.php's silent-overwrite gap that ate LEGACY-10.md's history two days ago.

1) Orientation catch-up on open: closed T00-SYNCBUG(407) and T763, both genuinely fixed yesterday but never formally closed as tasks. 2) Found and reviewed new tasks filed by others overnight: T2530 (cosmetic, tracked), T2531 (bug in my own get_commands_inventory scan, not yet fixed), T2532 (FINAL_CLOSE.php 500 error, not yet investigated), T764 (COMMS registry stuck-open, possibly related to today's dashreopen fix). 3) T00-DASHREOPEN fixed: Admin[00] reported Travel[95] stuck open with stale five_checks_at, correctly traced to SYNC.php. Re-read my own live code rather than assume -- found a pre-existing AUTO DASHBOARD PING block (unrelated to the v2.6 checkpoint feature) was forwarding a status value that overrode DASHBOARD.php's own correct preserve-current-status logic. Removed the status forward. Verified live on decade 20 (closed, session_locked=1) before/after -- registry untouched now. Also spotted but did not fix a duplicate result_json array key in the same block (inert for this bug, flagged as follow-up). 4) Added R084 to the Master List: the unresolved Google Drive Shared Drive folder-ID question from yesterday's snapshot-upload attempt. 5) T416 closed: walked USR369 through creating a real Google Cloud OAuth client for X-plore, confirmed working both directions. 6) T765 fixed: file_write_web.php v1.2 now has a real mode=append plus a shrink-guard on LEGACY-*.md/handoff-*.md paths specifically. Verified live with 4 tests. 7) Flagged a recurring empty-message bug to Master -- left unresolved rather than guess.
