# Backlog — automation near-misses for hand-finishing > 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. **Open near-misses:** 0 · by status {} · by class {} | # | addr | reach | class | nins | status | closeness | where it stuck | best draft | |--:|------|------:|-------|-----:|--------|----------:|----------------|------------|
