## 1. New Findings

1. **P2 / High - Documented `version-check --status` is not accepted by the parser.**  
   The task contract and command output advertise `mempalace-code version-check --status`, but the `version-check` parser only registers `--enable`, `--disable`, and `--check-now` in its mutually exclusive group. The handler falls back to status only when no option is supplied, and `--enable` also tells users to run the unsupported `--status` form. This leaves an accepted CLI control from AC-3 broken with an argparse error, and the integration test named for `--status` misses it because it invokes bare `version-check`.  
   Evidence: `mempalace_code/cli.py:567`, `mempalace_code/cli.py:578`, `mempalace_code/cli_commands/version_check.py:35`, `tests/test_cli.py:1868`  
   Suggested fix: add a `--status` flag as a mutually exclusive no-op/default status action, and update the CLI integration test to invoke `["mempalace", "version-check", "--status"]`.

## 2. Known Issues Map Status

- Previous round report `docs/audits/CLI-OPT-IN-VERSION-CHECK-round-0.md` was not present in this scoped snapshot.
- Matching backlog/plan context reviewed: `docs/plans/CLI-OPT-IN-VERSION-CHECK.md`.
- No duplicate findings were suppressed from prior audit context.

## 3. Evidence Reviewed

- Scoped diff: `.tasks/TASK-CLI-OPT-IN-VERSION-CHECK/codex-hardening-round-1.diff`
- Scoped files manifest: `.tasks/TASK-CLI-OPT-IN-VERSION-CHECK/codex-hardening-round-1-files.txt`
- Backlog/plan context: `docs/plans/CLI-OPT-IN-VERSION-CHECK.md`
- Touched implementation files: `mempalace_code/cli.py`, `mempalace_code/cli_commands/version_check.py`, `mempalace_code/version_check.py`, `mempalace_code/config.py`, `pyproject.toml`
- Touched tests/docs reviewed where relevant: `tests/test_version_check.py`, `tests/test_cli.py`, `README.md`, `docs/OFFLINE_USAGE.md`, `docs/AGENT_INSTALL.md`, `scripts/bootstrap.sh`

## 4. Residual Risks

- Targeted pytest execution was not usable as evidence in this isolated snapshot because the local scoped package lacks the full package context and Python resolved `mempalace_code` from an external checkout; this was treated as an environment limitation, not a task finding.
- I did not perform repo-wide scanning beyond matching version-check/backlog terms and the scoped file set.

## 5. Convergence Recommendation

Not yet converged. The implementation is close, but the public CLI contract should accept `version-check --status` before the feature is considered complete.

## 6. Suggested Claude Follow-Up

- Register `--status` in the `version-check` parser, preserving the existing bare `version-check` status behavior.
- Add or correct a CLI integration test that actually passes `--status`.
- Re-run the focused version-check suite and the CLI hook tests in the full repository context.
