platform-root login is restored and the resolver holds the current bind
credential, so T04's outstanding reconciliation is done. No green receipt
yet — the run of record is a FAIL at resolver-lookup, and T05 stays open.
Records four things the session established:
- the predecessor is dead, observed twice by hand, but not by receipt;
- the value is unrecoverable, because no KeePassXC database has ever
existed despite platform-root-custody.md naming a safe entry, and the
only copy lived in a Firefox entry overwritten during the session.
T04 replaced the credential with no step to update operator custody —
the root cause of the whole session;
- the reconciliation script had never completed a run (4a38511);
- verify-t06.sh reported success at bootstrap against a resolver that
was misconfigured and a reconciliation path that could not execute.
That blind spot is open and is the finding worth acting on.
Also corrects the record: the stale bind credential was real but did not
cause the lookup failure. The HTTP 400 was our own request builder.
