# Documentation-Code Alignment Audit (2026-06-09 v5)

## Purpose

This file exists to close the June 9 documentation-drift blocker caused by a
request to validate two internal June 9 artifacts that were not present on
`origin/main`:

- `docs/internal/documentation-code-alignment-audit-2026-06-09-v5.md`
- `docs/internal/documentation-alignment-remaining-work-2026-06-09.md`

The first path above is this replacement file's requested target path. The
`v5` suffix is preserved because it was part of the external validation request;
it does not assert that committed `v1` through `v4` artifacts existed or were
recovered.

No recovered copy of this audit file was found in the current checkout, fetched
refs, or GitHub contents searched during this pass. This document is therefore a
replacement closeout artifact, not a restored original.

## Base And Recovery Evidence

- Base commit checked: `1fd6ce88d83ca3832cedaf0cabe8e2d685ab7829`
  (`Align chokepoint flow API descriptions (#4228)`).
- `origin/main` resolved to the same commit during this pass.
- Current tracked files under `docs/internal`, `docs/audits`, and `tests`
  included the June 8 final audit, documentation-alignment protocol/templates,
  and `tests/documentation-alignment-guardrails.test.mjs`; neither requested
  June 9 path existed.
- `git log --all --name-status -- <requested paths>` produced no matching path
  history.
- `git rev-list --all --objects` produced no object-name hit for either
  requested June 9 filename.
- GitHub contents for `docs/internal` on `main` listed the protocol/templates
  and other internal docs, but not either requested June 9 file.
- GitHub contents for `docs/audits` on `main` listed only
  `documentation-code-alignment-final-audit-2026-06-08.md`.
- GitHub code search for the exact requested filenames returned zero results.

The broad `git fetch --all --prune` sweep updated `origin` and many configured
remotes, then exited non-zero on a local Codex ref lock after the relevant
`origin/main` state had already been refreshed. The exact-name Git and GitHub
searches above were run after that refresh.

## Current Validation Status

The canonical current audit artifact remains:

- `docs/audits/documentation-code-alignment-final-audit-2026-06-08.md`

That June 8 audit states that it validated the merged code and documentation by
live source, documentation, and parity-test anchors because the older planning
checklist was not present on merged `main`.

For June 9, this replacement closeout preserves the same rule: where the missing
planning checklist or role-specific artifacts are unavailable, source code and
focused parity tests are canonical. This file does not claim an independent
multi-role signoff, production credential validation, live Redis inspection, or
fresh generated-contract regeneration.

## Remaining Risk

- The original June 9 audit artifact, if it existed only outside GitHub and
  fetched Git refs, remains unavailable.
- Any future claim that documentation is "fully aligned" must still satisfy
  `docs/internal/documentation-alignment-audit-protocol.md`, including role
  evidence and residual-risk disclosure.
- Material claims about CII, MCP, news, CRI, forecasts, scenarios, chokepoints,
  or market methodology should continue to be validated by the corresponding
  focused parity tests before being promoted as current-state documentation.

## Closeout Verdict

The absent-artifact drift is fixed for the requested path: this file now records
the recovery evidence, the current validation boundary, and the canonical source
of truth without inventing unavailable June 9 evidence.
