## Session Info
- Agent: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context)
- Session: 2026-06-15
- Platform: Claude Code (Antigravity runtime)
- Guardrails loaded: skipped (quick-win)
- Override: none
- Downstream-Capabilities: none

## Drift Log
- Skip Attempt: NO
- Gate Fail Reason: N/A
- Token Leak: NO

## Task Description
- Apply the no-"deferred" disposition rule: 4 backlog rows pointed at issues just CLOSED as redundant/premature (#146→row16, #167→row66, #168→row67, #169→row68). Marked each Cancelled (with evidence + reopen-trigger) and relocated to `_product-backlog-archive.md` so the active index holds only Pending/In-Progress.
- Evidence basis: closes done via gh with cited reasons; #146 ~85-90% built (validate.sh + validate_trigger_metadata.py), #167 no present consumer, #168 premature honor-system MUST, #169 duplicates trigger-registry (same trap as #154/#48).
- Phase chain: plan → implement → test (validate) → ship. CRLF row-count verify per [edit-row-delete-verify].

## Phase Sequence
- bootstrap
- plan
- implement
- test
- ship

## External References
none

## Known Risk
- CRLF row-merge on deletion — verify row count + git diff after. Rollback: revert PR (pure relocation + status flip).

## Conflict Resolution
none

## Skill Notes
none

## Phase Summary
- bootstrap: classified quick-win (specs/ edit, mechanical cancel+archive). | Confidence: 97% — high.
- plan: remove 4 rows from active, append as Cancelled (10-col, with reasons) to archive, update footer enum; verify; validate; ship PR. | Confidence: 96% — high.
- implement: 4 rows cancelled+relocated. | Confidence: 97% — high.
- test: validate.sh backlog checks (pending run). | Confidence: 96% — high.
- ship: commit + PR (pending). | Confidence: 96% — high.
