 > Generated by `tools/backlog.py render` from `.run/backlog.jsonl`. These are functions the Phase-21 automation got **close** on but did NOT byte-match. The whole-binary byte-gate is the sole arbiter (G3/P9): **byte-matches bank and are NOT listed here** — only genuine near-misses/blockers are. Ranked by hand-session priority: **reach** (×N propagation leverage) → **closeness** (match_one mismatch count, lower = closer) → **size**. Each row's `best_draft` is the closest C the machine reached — resume from there.

+banked_total **165** (session **+108** reach-1 ×1 banks over 6 waves; close-rate 0.63→0.91→0.67 as the size-band
+climbed 14→31 ins) · 136/136 byte-identical · 0 NON_MATCHING throughout (per-wave byte-gate, G3/P9). **4 new
+cookbook idioms distilled** (`commit:0225` u16-store→`ori` · `commit:0227` $sp-switch trampoline + 3 maspsx rules ·
+`commit:0230` byte-predecrement `+0xFF` not `-1` · `commit:0232` combined store-and-capture call-result). **Pool-exclusion
+bug FIXED** (`commit:0228`): `wave_targets.plumbing_blocked()` now scans ALL raw backlog records (was `load_best()`,
+which masked `none — MATCH` self-match-gate-reject records) → 83 churners correctly skipped from waves (hand-finish
+fuel). **STOP left in place per Drew** (AskUserQuestion: kill switch = interrupt / `auto_stop.sh`, NOT the file).
+Orch_state: `pool=reach1`, `waves=22`. The fresh-session cycle below is unchanged. Honest ROI note: reach-1 is ×1,
+so fleet barely moves per wave — the value is `ov_SC01_077` completeness + the distilled idioms (reach-134-applicable
+→ a future wall re-attempt could bank ×134).

+**Fleet ≈ 61.16% byte-identical** *(↑ 61.19% — see SESSION UPDATE above)* · 136/136 binaries byte-identical · 0 NON_MATCHING.
 **Nothing running** — grinder STOPPED (Drew; `.run/auto/STOP` present), no worker wave in flight. Paused at a
 clean, committed checkpoint (HEAD = the reach-1 handoff commit). Committed locally; **not pushed** (R6 — Drew pushes).
