+# Housekeeping final cutover verification
+
+Verified on 2026-08-30 CEST on branch `codex/housekeeping-complete` after production commit `222535e1`.
+
+## Outcome
+
+The Housekeeping replacement is complete and the administration UI has been cut over atomically to `/ase`. The former `/admin`, `/mod`, and `/ase-next` UI trees are absent and do not redirect. Internal `/api/admin/*` endpoints remain intentionally available behind their existing permission gates.
+
+This report verifies the branch and local production build. It does not claim that the branch is merged, deployed, or healthy in production.
+
+## Delivered cutover
+
+- `2b8f73a9` moved the canonical workspace to `src/app/ase`, removed the three legacy UI roots, removed the preview gate, and deleted the superseded UI and dependency surface.
+- `222535e1` closed the final authorization findings: logo writes require `admin.settings.edit`; generic media deletion cannot traverse into nested asset namespaces; hierarchy bypasses use `isSuperAdmin`; bulk ban/unban require `admin.users.ban`; every bulk target is checked before mutation; configured rank identifiers are no longer capped at 7 and must exist in `permission_ranks`.
+- The historical migration matrix remains as an auditable 137-row record while the physical legacy-root scanner reports zero retained UI pages.
+
+## Final automated gates
+
+| Gate | Result | Evidence |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Toolchain | Pass | `pnpm toolchain:check`: Node.js `26.8.1` aligned with `.nvmrc`. |
+| Migration and runtime parity | Pass | `137/137` historical rows valid; legacy UI pages present `0`; runtime discovered/mapped/verified `137/137/137`; removals `2`. |
+| Housekeeping suite | Pass | `109` test files and `843` tests passed. |
+| Security regression set | Pass | The focused People production workflow passed `60/60` tests after the review-driven coverage additions. The earlier four-file final-finding set passed `95/95`. |
+| Full suite | Pass | `262` files passed and `3` skipped; `1,649` tests passed and `5` skipped. Coverage: statements `31.53%`, branches `26.16%`, functions `36.55%`, lines `32.90%`. |
+| TypeScript | Pass | `pnpm typecheck` exited successfully. |
+| Dead-code boundary | Pass | `pnpm knip` reported no included file, dependency, dev-dependency, unlisted dependency, or binary findings. |
+| Changed-file quality | Pass | Biome checked all `9` final-review files with no remaining fixes; `git diff --check` passed. |
+| Production build | Pass | Next.js `16.3.3` compiled, typechecked, generated `129/129` pages, and exposed `/ase` plus `/ase/[domain]/[[...segments]]` as the only administration UI routes. |
+
+The build used an ephemeral local `AUTH_SECRET` because production validation correctly rejects the development environment without one. It was set only in the build process and was not written to `.env`.
+
+## Route and access probes
+
+The post-cutover local server returned:
+
+| Route | Result |
+| --- | --- |
+| `/admin` | `404`, no redirect |
+| `/admin-next` | `404`, no redirect |
+| `/ase-next` | `404`, no redirect |
+| `/mod` | `404`, no redirect |
+| `/ase` | `307` to `/login` for an anonymous request |
+| `/api/health` | `200` |
+
+The production route manifest independently confirms that `/ase` is the only administration UI root while the retained `/api/admin/*` backend endpoints remain present.
+
+## Visual evidence boundary
+
+The authenticated pre-cutover workspace passed all `24/24` domain and viewport combinations at `1440x900`, `1024x768`, `390x844`, and `320x568`; details and screenshot locations are recorded in `2026-08-26-housekeeping-pre-cutover.md`.
+
+The final cutover moved that verified workspace to `/ase` without redesigning the rendered workspace. A new authenticated post-cutover browser session was not created because doing so would have required minting or impersonating a privileged session. Final validation therefore combines the existing authenticated visual matrix with the post-cutover source move, route manifest, automated UI tests, and anonymous access probes. No live mutation was submitted.
+
+## Known non-blocking environment debt
+
+- `REDIS_URL` is unset locally, so the build warns that multi-instance rate limits, settings cache, and JWT invalidation would fall back to process memory. Production must provide Redis.
+- Turbopack warns that dynamic translation-file access in `mutation-runtime-external.ts` broadens filesystem tracing. The build still completes, but deployment bundle size should be monitored.
+- The repository-wide `pnpm lint` remains affected by the existing Windows CRLF baseline. The final changed-file Biome gate and `git diff --check` pass; no unrelated whole-repository formatting churn was introduced.
+
+## Independent review
+
+A second read-only review of `222535e1` found no Critical or Important findings and assessed the change as ready to merge. Its two Minor recommendations were both implemented: hierarchy denial now runs against ban, unban, currency, and badge bulk operations, and the production workflow now proves a successful super-admin assignment to an existing configured rank above 7.
+
+## Release state
+
+The implementation and local release gates are complete. The branch is suitable for continued review in draft PR #52; merge and deployment remain separate operator decisions.
