**`OPEN-ITEMS.md`** is the register of open work and the file to read first — it holds only what is
open, one row per item, every row with a state and an owner. **`ROADMAP.md`** is the full history and
reasoning behind the `R-n` IDs, including shipped and killed items; an ID is minted there, and a new
instance of an existing item attaches to that ID rather than getting its own.

The rest of this folder: verified-LIVE findings with implementable fix plans that are **not yet
implemented**. Preserved here
(instead of on git branches) per the trunk-based, no-branches rule — the fix itself is implemented later
**directly on `main`**, during a normal/supervised session.

- **FIX-M18-NOTES.md** — dump re-validation runs every 5 min (perf). **FIXED** in controller v0.62.0 @
  `f8afe5c` (2026-06-14). (was on the deleted `felhom-controller` branch `fix/m18-dump-validation-cache`.)
- **FIX-M19-NOTES.md** — `deriveStackName` misattribution edge (low-incidence correctness). **FIXED** in
  controller v0.62.0 @ `6bab68b` (2026-06-14). (was on the deleted branch `fix/m19-stackname-crossref`.)

- **FOLLOWUP-golden-default-controller-tag.md** — the golden bakes a stale controller (`:0.43.0` when
  queued; had rotted again to `:0.85.1` by resolution). **FIXED** in felhom-agent @ `ceca355`
  (2026-07-03): `build-golden.sh` v2.0.0 makes the controller tag a MANDATORY argument (a required arg
  cannot rot) and golden **0.98.3** was baked + clean-room-validated (bake → first-boot-current →
  self-manage → app deploy, on the drill VM — no supervised touch of live guests needed) + published +
  vouched. Evidence: `../audits/DRILL-golden-098-2026-07-03.md`.

Related: the live-drive fixspec (`../audits/live-drive-fixspec-2026-06-14.md`) carries the **deferred
supervised items** F9 (HDD provisioning/guest-attach), F20-BUG2 (durable_id scheme), F20-BUG3 (async
mkfs) — to be implemented in the agent/golden supervised session.
