| 15 | +| Duplicate audit | `/admin/duplicates` candidate pairs reviewed: name-similar pairs are distinct products (e.g. mlx/mlx-lm, claude/claude-code, openai-platform/openai-codex); 0 merges needed | | ||||

Admin flows run on the desktop project only (they mutate shared records). | | ||||
| 34 | +| Security (black-box) | `pnpm test:security` | **44 passed / 44**: unauthenticated admin pages redirect, 6 admin/auth APIs → 401, 5 mutating APIs → 401/403, cross-site login blocked (403), SQL/XSS/hostile payloads in search & suggest, no private fields in public HTML/JSON, sitemap excludes private paths, CSP/frame-ancestors/nosniff/referrer/no-powered-by, admin noindex, report size/honeypot (400 or 429 when rate-limited), IDOR by slug → 401, path traversal → 404 | | ||||

| 52 | +## Backup / restore drill | ||||
| 53 | +`pnpm restore:drill` → encrypted dump created (AES-256-CBC, PBKDF2 200k), restored into `tools_restore_drill_<ts>`, compared with the source: tools 359 = 359, tool_sources 1282 = 1282, audit_log 722 = 722, owner_notes 54 = 54, content-hash digest identical → **identical: true** (1 s).

| 55 | +## Editorial spot checks (manual, during review) | ||||
| 56 | +- 12 records read against their official sites (duckdb, claude-code, postgresql, zotero, firstrate-data, sec-edgar, caddy, wireguard, qgis, mlx, homebrew, openalex): names, vendors, license identifiers and hosting model consistent with sources; descriptions original. | ||||
| 57 | +- Renames caught by research and recorded with aliases: Polygon.io → Massive, Timescale → Tiger Data, MinIO → AIStor, Kùzu archived (discontinued), AutoGen deprecated, Weights & Biases under CoreWeave, Langfuse acquired by ClickHouse, Neon under Databricks, OpenSSH `.org`, Podman repo move. | ||||
| 58 | +- Language proofreading: validator bans marketing adjectives and price figures; summaries 60–220 characters. | ||||
| 59 | + | ||||
| 60 | +## Gates not run / limitations | ||||
| 61 | +- Lighthouse/Core Web Vitals: not run (tool unavailable); latency table above is the baseline. | ||||
| 62 | +- Dependency audit: `pnpm audit --prod --audit-level high` is part of `scripts/ci.sh`; run before each release (result recorded in the deployment section below). | ||||
| 63 | +- E2E for passkeys requires a real authenticator; covered by code review and the unit-tested WebAuthn library only. | ||||
