I have all the facts. Let me work through the phases.

**Phase 1 — Re-anchored on fn-9.1**
- Spec said: implement `alpha_handler(request)` in `src/auth/handler.py` returning an ok-dict.
- `done_summary`: implemented as `alpha_handler_v2` (renamed in flight — `alpha_handler` reserved by a legacy shim).
- Evidence commit: `081606c`.

**Phase 2 — Actual implementation**
- `src/auth/handler.py:1` → `def alpha_handler_v2(request): return {"ok": True, "who": request}`. Confirms the rename; the return is an ok-dict with an `ok` flag (matches spec's "ok-dict" intent — no return-shape drift).

**Phase 3 — Drift**

| Aspect | Spec Said | Actually Built |
|--------|-----------|----------------|
| Function name | `alpha_handler(request)` | `alpha_handler_v2(request)` |
| Return | ok-dict | `{"ok": True, "who": request}` (ok-dict ✓) |

Drift: function renamed `alpha_handler` → `alpha_handler_v2`.

**Phase 3b — Skipped.** Husk short-circuit: `GLOSSARY_JSON.total_terms == 0`, `DECISIONS_JSON.count == 0`, and `STRATEGY_CONTENT == {}` — all three hold, no project-anchor signal.

**Phase 4 — Downstream (fn-9.2)**
- `fn-9.2.md:8`: "Call **alpha_handler** from `main()` and print the ok flag." → stale reference to the pre-rename name. The "ok flag" wording stays valid (the ok-dict has an `ok` key). `main()` in `src/cli/main.py` is still an un-wired stub, consistent with fn-9.2 being open.

**Phase 4b — Skipped** (CROSS_SPEC false).

**Phase 5 — Traceability:** parent spec `fn-9.md` has no `## Requirement coverage` table → sub-step skipped. Parent-spec Approach line also names `alpha_handler`, but spec edits are restricted to the traceability table, so it is out of scope for an edit (surfaced as a note only). DRY_RUN true → no edits.

---

Drift detected: yes
- fn-9.1 implemented `alpha_handler_v2` instead of the spec's `alpha_handler` (renamed in flight; v1 name reserved by a legacy shim). Return is an ok-dict as specced — no return-shape drift.

Would update (DRY RUN):
- **fn-9.2** (`.flow/tasks/fn-9.2.md`, Description line 8): change `Call alpha_handler from main()` → `Call alpha_handler_v2 from main()`; add breadcrumb `<!-- Updated by plan-sync: fn-9.1 used alpha_handler_v2 not alpha_handler -->`. Acceptance criterion ("CLI calls the handler and prints ok") is name-agnostic — left unchanged.

Would update traceability:
- None — parent spec `fn-9.md` has no `## Requirement coverage` table.

Note (no edit — out of scope):
- Parent spec `fn-9.md` Approach line also references `alpha_handler`. Spec edits are restricted to the traceability table, so plan-sync would not touch it. Flagging for awareness; correct via the spec author if desired.

Decision overrides flagged for review:
- None (no decision entries).

Strategy drift flagged for review:
- None (no populated STRATEGY.md).
