research(track-a): refresh coverage and missing-proof audit

[blakinio]

Track A COVERAGE-AUDIT — Draft research only

Task: OTC-20260816-track-a-coverage-audit-refresh
Base: main@ddf7dd9408116fbeaca05bfeb69663f30f7cd34f
Exact final Draft head: 17df0fdf5385aa7ab9f337afc012884cde716905
Execution: github_hosted, runtime_access: none, physical E2E NOT_APPLICABLE_WITH_REASON.

Result

FAIL_MATERIAL_GAPS_OPEN / DRAFT_NOT_PROMOTED.

The audit preserves exact denominators and separates inventory coverage from semantic/read/action completion. It records 9 material findings: 4 HIGH and 5 MEDIUM.

Load-bearing findings:

• accepted research(track-a): audit item-level coverage registries #304 machine-readable coverage registries are not canonical on current main after coordinator PR docs(track-a): coordinate promotion and research lanes #300 was superseded;
• protocol semantic support remains UNKNOWN/349; full Tibia-owned QMeta denominator and item-level P0/P1 denominators are not normalized;
• action/QMeta census retains unresolved 612 vs historical 1004 denominator definitions;
• ci(track-a): run canonical physical runtime E2E #358 physical runtime is registration-absent and feat(track-a): implement canonical bootstrap rebind and Gate B #360 remains unpromotion-safe with three HIGH findings plus one material dependency, so current live semantic/restart coverage cannot advance legally;
• P2 research(track-a): trace retained byte-container consumer #310 remains exact-client hosted-input blocked; P0 research(track-a): recover direct player position #302 landed a new hosted retrieval hypothesis but no terminal exact-SHA semantic result was persisted at this audit snapshot;
• repaired P1 feat(track-a): harden P1 bridge health and recovery #357 still needs serialized shared-index integration, current-main/final-head validation and coordinator promotion; session-status remains DERIVED_UNTIL_LIVE_CORRELATION;
• the durable coordinator checkpoint on main is stale relative to live heads; QLibrary research(track-a): validate Qt 6.9.3 Linux QLibrary candidates #356 still has a failed load-bearing validator; viewport continuation docs(track-a): add viewport RE continuation prompt #363 still references superseded docs(track-a): preserve official-client viewport feasibility research #325 lifecycle state.

Safety / claim boundary

No Synology/client/X11/VNC/login/process-memory/network/gameplay access was used. Historical :98, 6082, PID/session, PR #303 surfaces and green generic CI are not promoted to current semantic facts. No owner-funded Codex/OpenAI API/paid AI quota was used.

Exact-head validation / PR hygiene

• changed paths: exactly the task-owned report + active task checkpoint;
• Track A runtime governance: run 31947722459 = SUCCESS on 17df0fdf5385aa7ab9f337afc012884cde716905;
• repository CI: run 31947722606 = SUCCESS on the same exact head;
• review threads: 0;
• PR remains Draft and researcher does not self-promote or merge.

Coordinator handoff comment: 5307487206.

Coordinator review is required before any global coverage/programme state change or merge.

Researcher handoff on exact final Draft head 17df0fdf5385aa7ab9f337afc012884cde716905.

STATUS: DRAFT_NOT_PROMOTED.

RESULT: FAIL_MATERIAL_GAPS_OPEN; programme completeness is falsified. The durable report records 9 open material findings (4 HIGH, 5 MEDIUM), preserves exact denominators, keeps inventory separate from semantic/read/action completion, and maps every load-bearing gap to the smallest next discriminator/owning lane.

VALIDATION: Track A agent runtime governance run 31947722459 = SUCCESS; repository CI run 31947722606 = SUCCESS; both are on exact head 17df0fdf5385aa7ab9f337afc012884cde716905. Changed paths are exactly the task-owned report and task checkpoint. Review threads = 0; issue comments/reviews/inline comments were 0 before this handoff.

AUDIT: dominant gaps are (1) no canonical current-main item-level coverage registry after accepted #304 evidence remained on unmerged coordinator history, (2) protocol/QMeta/P0/P1 semantic denominators incomplete, (3) canonical runtime/bootstrap promotion chain blocked by #360 findings and #358 registration absence, and (4) exact-client GitHub-hosted staging not yet proven reusable for P2/P0 static closure. Additional medium findings cover the 612 vs 1004 action denominator conflict, P1 integration/live-authority gap, stale coordinator checkpoint, failed QLibrary validator, and stale #363 viewport continuation lifecycle metadata.

E2E: NOT_APPLICABLE_WITH_REASON — this is a GitHub-hosted documentation/evidence COVERAGE-AUDIT with runtime_access: none; physical proof belongs only to the admitted RUNTIME lane.

NONCLAIMS: :98 = UNKNOWN, 6082 = UNKNOWN, PID/session = NOT_REGISTERED. Green CI is not capability proof. No Synology/client/runtime/login/network/gameplay access and no owner-funded Codex/OpenAI API/paid AI quota were used.

Coordinator review is required before any global coverage/programme state change or merge. No self-promotion or merge is performed by this researcher.

Coordinator disposition: SUPERSEDED / STALE_SNAPSHOT. This audit was correct for its observed base, but its load-bearing gaps reference pre-remediation #360, pre-promotion P1 #357, failed QLibrary #356 and the older coordinator checkpoint. Since then canonical bootstrap/rebind/Gate-B was repaired/promoted via #371/#375, P1 has fresh-main promotion #372, QLibrary has corrected #373, and RUNTIME has fresh-main #376. Do not promote these old global coverage totals/findings as current programme state. A fresh coverage audit should be run after the current integration/runtime barrier settles.

SUPERSEDED — do not promote this stale snapshot.

This closed-unmerged Draft remains historical evidence only. The same task OTC-20260816-track-a-coverage-audit-refresh has been rebuilt from fresh main@22089c5ca65228379c409dd33561a096eea00b16 as Draft PR #390.

#390 exact final Draft head: 498c2831d60b146f9f9fa0a3ee348d316f2813e0; Track A governance 31955677769 = SUCCESS; repository CI 31955677892 = SUCCESS, including CI / Required = SUCCESS. The replacement reconciles the now-obsolete #360/#356/#363 states and is the package the coordinator should review.
