The cleanup tool could not reach the file that needed it most

Nothing about the site you visit changed in this release. Participant export and deletion stay unavailable, and the health page's storage warning is still deliberately visible. This note is about three bookkeeping fixes behind the scenes. Every working session starts by reading a fixed set of the project's own records. That reading has a budget, and at the start of this session it was nearly three times over. The check that measures it said so, and said 'blocked'. Next to it, the archiving tool, which exists to move old history out of the live records, reported that nothing needed doing. Both were right about what they each looked at. The archiver only knew about two record files, and most of the excess sat in a third one it had never been told about. That file is now one of its targets. Its first run moved eighty-nine old sections, word for word, into the archive and cut the file from 548 KB to 98 KB. Nothing was deleted, and the archive keeps a pointer back. The reading is still over budget, and the check now says exactly why. The largest remaining file is the task board. Its old sections still hold 158 items that were never closed, and moving an open item into an archive is how it gets forgotten, so the archiver is deliberately not allowed to touch it. The check now lists every file it reads, says for each one whether archiving can shrink it, and publishes whether a perfect archive run could ever bring the total under budget. Today it could not, and the page says so. The second fix is smaller. After a release, the handoff note's line about which build is live gets filled in automatically. The filler looked for the first occurrence of the marker on the page, and that could be a mention of the marker inside documentation rather than the marker itself. It now skips mentions written as code, using the same rule the project's own integrity check already used. The third was a question from the last session: is there any other place a build number gets written down and then judged without first being reconciled? The answer, measured rather than assumed, is no. The one other build number in the status file belongs to the staging copy of the site, and the check that judges it reads the live staging site, not the written copy. That answer is now pinned by a test, so a future build number with no declared judge will stop the release.
