prepared retrospectively from retained evidence by Codex; work date 2026-10-24 (America/New_York); prepared 2026-10-27; retrospective entry approved for publication by Asif; published 2026-10-27 (America/New_York) — absentbornlabs.org
Showing a catalog was only the first step. The interface also needed to say when history was incomplete and keep the session list usable in a narrow view.
Protected native-read receipts recorded 20 catalog rows each for Codex and Claude, plus 20 and 13 records respectively from selected history pages; more pages remained available for both sources.
The same receipt records a 401 unauthenticated refusal, reasoning excluded from the history response, and zero provider calls or session sends.
The later Sessions-sheet apply receipt records unchanged fingerprints for all 20 existing preference namespaces, zero settings writes, and no service restart.
These reads depended on the existing manual reader path. The receipt explicitly says the history was incomplete and physical-phone verification was false. Compact browser checks and a changed Sessions layout do not establish mobile Safari acceptance or native continuation.
