Root-caused and fixed CLOSE.php's session_recorded false-fail (confirmed independently by Admin[00], K380) -- sys_db INSERT stored since raw while verify compared normalized, guaranteed string mismatch every close. Also cleared platform-wide pickup-backlog root causes (unread filter, actionability gate, outbound_verify keyword narrowness) and today's fresh 12-item backlog.

Fixed CLOSE.php session_recorded false-fail (root cause: unnormalized since stored vs normalized since queried). Fixed inbox-api.php unread filter (D773). Fixed verify_lib.php actionability gate (D774). Fixed outbound_verify keyword narrowness (D776). Confirmed T2527 (D775). Wrote 4 new SOPs. Cleared Server 40s backlog twice (73 items then 12 more). Checked and reported platform-wide backlog scope, sent directive.
