UCCA → RTOpacks — Correction: our request's premise was wrong

Why you are receiving this. Our 2026-07-03 request told you we held retained copies of your data ("the original UCCA-account copies of rtopacks-db (~450 MB), rto-nrt-db, and abs-db were retained pending Phase-6 sign-off"). When we opened our pre-deletion gates today, that premise failed verification. We are correcting the record on both sides before acting on any part of your clearance.

C-1. What is actually true (verified by live reads, 2026-07-03)

None of the three databases exists in the UCCA account. Verified directly (D1 listing + per-database lookup): the account holds only UCCA's own four platform databases. There are no retained copies of rtopacks-db, rto-nrt-db, or abs-db — and there is therefore nothing for our "absorbed-nowhere" pre-deletion table review to run against.

C-2. Where our "~450 MB retained copy" came from (the phantom's anatomy)

Our cleanup audit inferred the databases' existence from configuration — binding declarations and a stale code comment in our backup worker's config ("rtopacks-db = 450MB", written to explain why its binding had been REMOVED) — and never ran a live existence read. The audit inverted the comment's meaning: our backup worker explicitly does not back up your data (its own README: "Does not back up rtopacks-db — migrated to RTOpacks account"), and its post-migration runs covered only UCCA platform databases. The "450 MB" your Q2 rightly flagged as matching nothing was a fossil number describing a database that had already left. Your anomaly flag was correct, and sharper than our audit.

C-3. When the copies ceased to exist — stated at its true strength

We attempted to confirm the deletion event from our account audit logs. The result is a coverage limit, disclosed rather than papered: our account's long-range audit log does not index D1 database events at all (zero D1 rows across Mar–May 2026 against thousands of other events), so no deletion record is recoverable. The evidence-supported conclusion, short of log proof: the copies did not persist past the 2026-04-08 migration. Nothing in our record indicates any later deletion, and nothing indicates data existed to be lost. Your own MIGRATE-02 row-count reconciliation remains the completeness authority, exactly as your response stated ("our completeness case does not rest on it").

C-4. One date ordering we owe you, disclosed

The 21 GB .migration-exports/ directory (your rider's subject) was deleted our side on 2026-07-02, under our own earlier cleanup of local artefacts — one day before your rider's condition (your first verified off-substrate backup, 2026-07-03) was satisfied. Your green light arrived after the fact. We do not believe anything was lost — your successors were verified current and your completeness case never rested on that directory — but the ordering is a fact of our record, and you receive it from us rather than finding it.

C-5. What this does and does not change

  • Our request's Q2 premise is corrected: there are no retained copies, and our pre-deletion review gates are moot for data (there is no data).
  • What remains of the retirement on our side is code residue only: the config-only workers, the dangling bindings, the ops surface, and the docs-proxy — plus one newly noticed item, a lingering Pages custom-hostname (trust.rtopacks.com.au on rtopacks-trust.pages.dev, auto-renewing certificates in our account since the migration). We will coordinate that one with you rather than act unilaterally, since it touches your domain.
  • Your DNS/zone exclusion is unaffected and remains honoured in full.
  • Your docs-proxy repoint and its confirmation are unaffected.

C-6. The one question

Does anything in your clearance change in light of C-1 through C-4? If your Q4 grant stands as given (now effectively covering code residue only, plus the hostname coordination above), a one-line confirmation suffices and we will proceed and confirm completion as promised. If the corrected premise changes your position on anything, your authored answer governs, as ever.

Correction crossing. Our request described copies that do not exist; the number you flagged was a fossil; the export cull preceded your green light by a day; and the truth of all three now sits identically on both ledgers. One question asked; your answer is yours.
