+## ▶️ The Phase 5 and Phase 7 checks, re-run 2026-09-14 on the second machine
+
+This page says *"Do not trust this page's ledger when you get there."* So the
+checks were re-run rather than read. **No repository was archived and nothing was
+deleted** — both are the human's, and both stay open. What follows is only what
+the checks now say.
+
+### Phase 5 · containment — and the check the page asks for is wrong for half its list
+
+| repo | disposition | tips | contained in Sylpheed |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `Syplheed-Reborn` | absorbed | 21 | **21 ✅** |
+| `Sylpheed-Godot` | absorbed | 2 | **2 ✅** |
+
+🔴 **Phase 5 names four repos, but the containment check only means something for
+the two that were *absorbed*.** `xenia-rs` and `xex2tractor` were never absorbed —
+their disposition is *harvest, then archive*. Run the check literally against
+`xenia-rs` and it reports **42 of 42 refs "NOT PRESENT in Sylpheed"**, every line
+true and every line unactionable. That is the failure this page already names once,
+about Phase 0's first gate: *a check that goes red for something unactionable*.
+
+**For the two harvest repos the invariant is different** — the harvested artefacts
+are in Sylpheed, and the repository is *archived, not deleted*:
+
+| artefact | on `main` | on its PR branch |
+|---|---|---|
+| `docs/reference/xex2-format.md` | ✗ | ✅ #30 |
+| `docs/reference/xbox360-exports.json` | ✗ | ✅ #30 |
+| `LICENSE` | ✗ | ✅ #30 |
+| `crates/sylpheed-xexdb` (32 files) | ✗ | ✅ #32 |
+| `tools/zq.py` | ✅ | ✅ |
+
+⚠️ **So the harvest is real but is not on `main` yet.** Archiving is still safe —
+the branches are pushed, and archiving is reversible — but **Phase 5 should follow
+the harvest PRs, not precede them**, or `main` alone does not carry what was
+harvested.
+
+### Phase 5 · nothing lives outside git — re-verified, still true
+
+| | issues | PRs | releases | wiki |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| the four retiring repos | **0** | **0** | **0** | none |
+| `Sylpheed` | 36 | 19 | 0 | none |
+
+📌 `has_wiki: true` is the repository *feature flag*, not content —
+`/wiki/pages` returns **404 on all six**, i.e. no wiki was ever initialised. Read
+the flag as content and you would report six wikis that do not exist.
+
+📌 All six repos are still **`archived: false`, `private: false`**. The retention
+question this page leaves open is therefore unchanged and now has a number beside
+it: `docs/re/captures/` is ~87 MB of game screenshots in a **public** repository.
+
+### Phase 7 · most of the drop list is not on this machine
+
+The list was measured on the agent box. Here:
+
+| item | page | this machine |
+|---|---|---|
+| `agent-backups/` | 687 MB | **absent** |
+| `xenia-rs/audit-runs/` | 57 MB | **724 KB** |
+| local `pi/clippy`, `pi/clippy-clean`, `pi/reauth3` | 3 branches | **0 — not on this box** |
+| `texcompare/`, `ship_render/` | 14 MB + 64 KB | **both absent** |
+| root `canary_*.log` / `.stdout` / `.stderr` | ~15 MB | 1 file |
+| `stock-oracle/` | 34 MB | 34 MB ✅ |
+| `Sylpheed/target/` | 32 GB | **34 GB** ✅ |
+
+✅ **Phase 7's one open question is answered.** It asks to *"confirm no `docs/re/`
+page cites"* `texcompare/` or `ship_render/` before dropping them. Four citations
+of `ship_render` exist — and **all four name the example *program*, not the output
+directory**: `cargo run --example ship_render` in `xbg7-mesh.md`, two in
+`BACKLOG.md`, and the tracked `examples/ship_render.rs` itself. `texcompare` is
+cited nowhere at all. The directories are droppable; the example is tracked code
+and stays. (Same directory-vs-file distinction that made Phase 4's "10 dangling
+citations" turn out to be one.)
+
+⚠️ **Disk is tighter than this page records: 90 % used, 96 GB free** (the page says
+83 %). `Sylpheed/target/` is 34 GB of that and is the only large item here — but it
+is a deletion on the human's disk, and rebuilding it is hours, so it stays until
+asked for.
+
