+# 000 — Owner backlog closeout: inventory and disposition roadmap
+
+Unit opened 2026-08-23. Session `01a02ef0-72d8-76b3-aa58-332bc348386d`.
+Goalplan slug `close-out-the-owner-backlog-on-lidge-jun-opencod`.
+
+## Why this unit exists
+
+Twenty items were open against `dev` at `bf8bcfd3c`: six pull requests and five
+issues from maintainer `Ingwannu`, and nine issues from `lidge-jun`. None of them
+had a recorded terminal disposition. This unit gives every one of them a verdict
+backed by evidence, one PABCD work-phase per item.
+
+## Method
+
+Eleven read-only `gpt-5.6-sol` reviewers ran in parallel at high effort: one per
+Ingwannu PR, one per issue that needed a reproduction check. Each returned a
+file:line-cited verdict with the focused test command it actually ran. Their
+verdicts are recorded below verbatim in outcome, not in prose summary.
+
+The loop merges bottom-up one item at a time. Pushes use `--no-verify` by owner
+instruction; the expensive full suite is not run locally per item. CI is checked
+on the final head, and each merge is confirmed on `origin/dev` before the next
+work-phase starts.
+
+## Reviewer verdicts — Ingwannu pull requests
+
+| PR | Title | Verdict | Disposition | Evidence |
+|----|-------|---------|-------------|----------|
+| #2439 | fixture-backed OpenAI contract manifest | PASS_WITH_NITS | squash-merge | `tests/compatibility-manifest.test.ts` 6/6, `core-lab-boundary` 13/13, docs build 393 pages, CI 23 pass at `0225f2b9` |
+| #2437 | centralize history manifest contract | PASS | merge | `codex-history-provider` + `codex-native-residue` + boundary 142/0, CI 23 pass |
+| #2435 | isolate Responses fetch helper imports | PASS | squash-merge | 6 focused files 71 pass / 1 skip, CI 23 pass at `be6ea98a` |
+| #2433 | fail over zero-output stream failures | **FAIL** | needs changes | double terminal accounting at `src/server/responses/core.ts:1974` vs inspectors at 3785/3868 — one 502 yields `consecutiveFailures: 2` |
+| #2387 | extract proxy process-state ownership | PASS_WITH_NITS | squash-merge | 472/0 across 8 suites, merge simulation 473/0, typecheck pass, CI 29 pass |
+| #2380 | extract provider validation boundary | PASS | merge | 187/0 + `config.test.ts` 153/0, typecheck pass, CI 23 pass |
+
+The single blocker is #2433. Its preflight records `response.failed` a second
+time on native passthrough, where the eager and tee inspectors already recorded
+it. That is not a style objection: it halves the effective failover threshold on
+a healthy credential, so the PR waits for an exactly-once recorder plus a
+regression asserting one health transition per streamed attempt.
+
+## Reviewer verdicts — issues
+
+| Issue | Status on `bf8bcfd3c` | Disposition | Evidence |
+|-------|----------------------|-------------|----------|
+| #2443 wait float rejection | REPRODUCES | fix (small) | `src/lib/tool-argument-integers.ts:75-78` allowlists only `timeout_ms`; `a9cb7661b` fixed #2316 alone |
+| #2436 history manifest leaf | covered by #2437 | close on merge | — |
+| #2434 fetch helper boundary | covered by #2435 | close on merge | — |
+| #2392 auth-context error mapping | REPRODUCES (structural) | fix (small) | duplicate matrices at `core.ts:1537` and `compact.ts:397`; user-visible half already fixed by `d52032ebe` |
+| #2379 provider validation | covered by #2380 | close on merge | — |
+| #2378 process-state ownership | covered by #2387 | close on merge | — |
+| #2292 Windows stale picker | fixed by #2382 | close | opt-in desktop restart landed |
+| #2152 Windows CI shards | partially fixed | fix (test-only) | symlinks fixed by `8f04c9a52`, Bun panic by `0776683`; two WP13 failures remain from CPU starvation at `tests/helpers/codex-write-lock-child.ts:49` |
+| #1702 combo quota badges | REPRODUCES | fix (medium) | `gui/src/pages/Combos.tsx:110-117` never calls `/api/provider-quotas`; abandoned `c8c4358a1` is not an ancestor of dev |
+| #1587 routed tool catalog bloat | ALREADY_FIXED | close stale | `fcbef381e` cut 258,929 to 96,699 chars; `catalog-cursor-search` 17/17 |
+| #1478 config rebase provenance | roadmap | retain | architecture item, no code path pending |
+| #1049 pre-substrate Codex homes | roadmap | retain | deferred in `260822_backlog_disposition_program` WP6 |
+| #1048 WP13 composed acceptance | partially implemented | retain, link #2152 | PR #1106 landed the suite; remaining gap is the Windows leg |
+| #820 32-session memory bound | roadmap | retain | architecture item spanning its own program |
+
+## Work-phase map
+
+wp0 is this document. wp1–wp6 dispose of the six Ingwannu PRs and close their
+linked issues. wp7–wp16 handle the remaining issues in the order recorded in the
+goalplan. One decade doc per implementation work-phase, written when that phase
+opens rather than pre-written, because every reviewer verdict above already
+carries the diff-level plan its phase needs.
