SESSION START DRIFT VERIFICATION, second session of 28 July 2026. Run BEFORE any
change, as the protocol requires. HEAD 867bf42, 376 commits, working tree CLEAN.

1. FROZEN SCORING ENGINE, diff against the 462eb81 baseline
   engine diff lines: 0  (must be 0)
   POSITIVE CONTROL, the detector must see a diff that DOES exist:
   auth/service.go diff lines: 2  (nonzero proves the check runs)

2. NO PYTHON
   .py files: 0
   POSITIVE CONTROL, with one planted: 1  (must be 1)
   after removal: 0

3. NO DASHES IN AUTHORED PROSE, em or en, all zero
   BUILD_STATE.md, ARCHITECTURE.txt, BUILD_CONTINUATION_PROTOCOL.md,
   PHASE2_DOCUMENT_TRIAL.md, RUNBOOK_RESTORE.md, IMPROVEMENTS.md

4. SCHEMA VERSIONS, queried per database on the host that owns it
   tenant        100.94.8.94:5432/missionmatch              v80
   staging       100.94.8.94:5432/missionmatch_staging      v81
   control plane 100.77.114.40:5433/missionmatch            v80
   accounts 6, real last_login 6
   UNCHANGED from the phase close reading. Staging one ahead at v81 is the
   intended staging only state of migration 0081.

5. SECRETS
   key material in the working tree: 0
   key material in git history:      0
   ARCHITECTURE.txt secret free:     yes, 0 hits
   BUILD_STATE.md: finding D4 is RECORDED and still open. This file knowingly
   carries three plaintext passwords and the decision to rotate or purge is
   Joseph's. Not a new finding, not silently redacted.

6. BUILD ROUTES DARK IN PRODUCTION, unauthenticated leg
   POST requirement-drafts approve : 404
   POST opportunities scope        : 404
   POST opportunities/tracked      : 405  (405 is the pre build shape)
   production site                 : 200
   POSITIVE CONTROL, GET /api/auth/csrf : 200. A live route must answer, or a
   uniform 404 would prove the host is down rather than the routes dark.

7. THE MERGE GATE
   make build-test-gates: PASS

8. BOTH NODES CARRY THE SAME BINARY
   Bubbles      8f24414531e80a9a
   megamind-agi 8f24414531e80a9a
   Matched, and matching the handoff.

9. TRACK H INFRASTRUCTURE
   11 timers installed. mm-db-backup last Result=success, next firing
   29 July 03:06.
   Backup set 20260728 holds all THREE databases plus MANIFEST.sha256:
   control-plane, staging, tenant-missionmatch.
   mm-fairness-snapshot Result=exit-code, which is finding D1 and is EXPECTED
   to be failing until the queued deploy.

   AN INSTRUMENT DEFECT IN THIS VERY CHECK, found and corrected before it was
   recorded: the first probe counted /var/backups/missionmatch and reported
   ZERO backup sets. The real root is /var/backups/missionmatch-db. A zero from
   a wrong path is exactly the false negative this protocol exists to catch, and
   it would have read as catastrophic drift. The path was resolved from the
   script rather than guessed a second time.

10. THE QUEUED FINDINGS ARE STILL OPEN, as recorded, none silently fixed
   D1 MM_COMPLIANCE_DATABASE_URL in api.env: absent
   D2 units carrying OnFailure: 2 of many
   D3 control plane migrator credential: refused
   D4 plaintext passwords in this ledger: present, decision pending

VERDICT: NO DRIFT. Every check that could pass by doing nothing carries a
positive control. Recorded before any change this session.
