# Session Handoff — 07/29/26 — CLOSING DUE TO FATIGUE/CONTEXT PRESSURE
# USR369 flagged this session is getting foggy — closing now per D354 protocol
# rather than pushing further. Everything below is real state, not guesses.

## COMPLETED THIS SESSION (all verified, not just claimed)

1. Fixed cmd-popup.js scroll-reset bug — Description of Use panel and
   per-command drill-down both now reset scrollTop on open. Deployed,
   verified.

2. Fixed TWO separate duplicate pickup functions in verify_lib.php that
   never checked the comms.db broadcasts table:
   - do_pickup() — used by OPEN.php/CATCHUP.php. Fixed, deployed, tested
     live (sent test broadcast, ran OPEN.php, confirmed pickup + read_by
     update).
   - pickup_with_task_gate() — used by SYNC.php. Separate function, same
     gap, missed on first pass. Found because Builder ran SYNC and got
     "0 pickup" despite 10 real pending broadcasts. Fixed, deployed,
     tested live on Builder [20]: picked_up went from 0 to 10, confirmed
     correct via get_broadcasts.
   - Both functions now also return the actual picked-up items (subject/
     from/message), not just a count — SYNC/OPEN responses now show what
     came in.
   - Deployed via base64 bootstrap (systems/commands/ blocks all direct
     writes regardless of extension — confirmed content-based WAF block).
     Backups staged at systems/governance/verify_lib_PREBACKUP*.b64.txt
     before each edit.
   - Logged: own DB entries 109/110/111 (system 10), linked records.db
     entries 612/616/617 (D267C/D725/D725B) with sys_id pointers and
     verification fields per D678.

3. D267 (records.db vs system DB split) was drifting platform-wide — full
   detail was being written directly to records.db instead of system DB
   + short subject + sys_id pointer. Corrected RULES-REG.md's add_decision
   section to require sys_id. Broadcast id 22 sent and verified landed.

4. Sent verbosity-reduction directive (broadcast id 24) per USR369 —
   responses were too long. Both broadcasts (22, 24) confirmed read_by
   includes all 10 systems (mechanically marked — does not guarantee an
   actual session internalized it, only that delivery is tracked correctly).

5. Filed T722 (Server 40) — EXEC_OPEN commands list vs ORIENT-REG.md
   mismatch. Still open.
6. Filed T723 (Server 40) — CLOSE.php legacy_gate checks wrong file for
   Daily (LEGACY-50.md instead of LEGACY-05.md), exact fix included, I
   cannot deploy it (systems/commands/ blocked). Still open.
7. Filed T724 (Server 40) — recurring COMMS/memory-pipeline/inbox
   timeout pattern, reported independently by 3+ systems today. No code
   fix found — likely server resource contention, needs Server 40's
   actual infra access to diagnose. Still open.
8. Fixed WHITELIST-05.md phantom 05-sys.db reference (doc only existed,
   no such file on disk — corrected to note 50-sys.db is the only real one).

## IN PROGRESS — NOT FINISHED, PICK UP HERE NEXT SESSION

USR369 asked for a new EXEC_OPEN Series M across all 11 systems, adding an
explicit PROCESS-INDEX-FIRST / WHERE-DO-I-LOOK callout (this already exists
as law in RULES-REG.md and ORIENT-REG.md — D675/D676/D677 — this task is
about also surfacing it visibly in the EXEC_OPEN files themselves, since
those load before RULES/ORIENT do).

Explicitly directed: build ONE template addition, apply consistently to
ALL 11 systems — not hand-edit one system's live file (USR369 called that
out directly when I started doing it wrong).

STATUS — fetched successfully, ready to edit (Series L source, real content):
  - Admin [00]     — EXEC_OPEN_Admin_00_L.txt      (4233b)
  - Builder [20]   — EXEC_OPEN_Builder_20_L.txt     (20479b)
  - Server [40]    — EXEC_OPEN_Server_40_L.txt      (28074b)
  - Daily [50]     — EXEC_OPEN_Daily_50_L.txt       (13241b)
  - Finance [60]   — EXEC_OPEN_Finance_60_L.txt     (12036b)
  - Master [10]    — EXEC_OPEN_Master_10_L.txt      (already have, 480 lines)

STILL NEED FETCHING (kept 503-ing, only got error-page placeholders):
  - Health [70]    — EXEC_OPEN_Health_70_L.txt
  - Kitchen [80]   — EXEC_OPEN_Kitchen_80_L.txt
  - Inner [90]     — EXEC_OPEN_Inner_90_L.txt
  - Travel [95]    — EXEC_OPEN_Travel_95_L.txt

NEXT STEPS:
  1. Fetch the remaining 4 systems' live EXEC_OPEN Series L files.
  2. Design ONE insertion block (a short PROCESS-INDEX-FIRST/WHERE-DO-I-LOOK
     pointer, referencing RULES-REG.md + ORIENT-REG.md sections already
     built by Admin — do not duplicate that content, just point to it)
     — insert between the RULES step and the ARTIFACTS step in the
     STARTUP sequence, same location in every file.
  3. Apply identically to all 11 systems' files, save as new filename
     EXEC_OPEN_[Name]_[Decade]_M.txt (underscore format, per Series L
     naming convention — increment letter, D108 law: never overwrite,
     always a new file).
  4. Deploy all 11, verify each byte-identical after write.
  5. Broadcast the Series M rollout (action=broadcast, verify landed).

## OPEN QUESTIONS / CARRY-FORWARD FROM EARLIER TODAY (still unresolved)
- Admin [00] registry showed open/unclosed earlier today with no activity —
  worth a fresh check, may have resolved itself since.
- RULES-REG.md / DASHBOARD-PANELS-STD.md still technical-language-heavy
  per K135 — plain-language rewrite still not done, hold off non-essential
  edits to these two files.
- todo-01.md (Master's own) is stale (07/21 snapshot) — real open task
  count per records-api is 0 for system 10, not the old list.

## DO NOT TOUCH
- systems/commands/*.php — direct writes blocked (D270 .htaccess), must
  use base64 bootstrap via systems/governance/ staging + backup first.

---

## What Next Session Does First
1. Fetch Health/Kitchen/Inner/Travel EXEC_OPEN Series L files (kept
   timing out this session, likely transient).
2. Build and deploy Series M across all 11 — see IN PROGRESS section above
   for exact status and design intent.
3. T722/T723/T724 still open with Server [40] — check status.
