@@ -21,14 +21,24 @@ Full active scan (71,720, complete=true, PJ excluded):
 - **Lifecycle:** both no-image products are ACTIVE + inventoried → live customer exposure (not draft/archived), so the P2 severity is warranted despite the tiny count.
 
 ## 📋 Disposition (GATED — Steve's call)
-1. **Fix the 2 no-image products (P2, small + concrete):** source and add a product image for the China Seas + Tres Tintas SKUs, OR unpublish until imaged (UNPUBLISH-not-archive per standing rule). Both are repped/known vendors (Tres Tintas is a confirmed trade line per `newwall-trade-pricing`; China Seas is a Quadrille brand) so imagery is obtainable. Cheapest correct action: add the image.
-2. **Single-image PDPs (63.9% / 45,837) = a SOFT merchandising signal, NOT a defect (P3/quality):** the majority of the catalog has exactly one image (no detail/scale/room-set shots). This is normal for a scraped-catalog spine but is a conversion-quality opportunity, not a broken state. Heavily concentrated in Glitter Walls (glass-bead colorways) + Phillipe Romano grasscloths. Disposition: a future enrichment opportunity (add room/scale shots for high-traffic lines), not a fix-now item. Do NOT mass-flag as a defect.
+1. **Fix the 2 no-image products — the immediate action is a RULE-MANDATED draft-flip, not a discretionary add-image (officer):** "active + orderable + zero image" is a hard breach of the standing "NEVER ACTIVE without image" rule (a shopper can place a paid order on a blank PDP right now). So the prescribed move is NOT "add an image OR unpublish" as equal options — it is: flip both to DRAFT + tag `Needs-Image` immediately (cheap, reversible, Steve-gated prod write), THEN source imagery from the repped vendors (Tres Tintas = confirmed trade line per `newwall-trade-pricing`; China Seas = Quadrille brand) as the actual P2 follow-up. Count is P2; the state is a clean rule-breach → draft-flip first, image-sourcing second.
+2. **Single-image PDPs (63.9% / 45,837) = a SOFT merchandising signal, NOT a defect (P3/quality):** the majority of the catalog has exactly one image. NOT a broken state (the product is sellable, titled, priced, imaged) and 63.9% is non-actionable on its own — a flat colorway swatch legitimately needs one image; a statement mural wants room/scale shots. **Mass-flagging would manufacture 45,837 false "defects" and bury the 2 real ones (officer) — do NOT.** If any future cycle targets this, the actionable cut is "single-image AND high-traffic AND high-price," not single-image writ large; home it in targeted enrichment (room-setting-generator) prioritized by consideration value, not image-count.
 3. **No broken-CDN epidemic** (0/39 sampled). Image integrity is otherwise HEALTHY fleet-wide.
 
 ## What this does NOT cover (named residuals)
-- **Full 404 CDN verification** — only a 39-URL sample was checked (rules out an epidemic, not every URL).
-- **Image QUALITY** (resolution, correct-product-match, watermark/leak) — not assessed; this was presence/count only.
+- **Full 404 CDN verification = the natural NEXT image cycle (officer):** a full HEAD pass over all 71,720 featuredImage URLs (read-only, ~$0, rate-paced) — only a 39-URL sample was checked here (rules out an epidemic, not every URL); a real broken-CDN tail would surface there if one exists.
+- **Image CORRECTNESS — higher-severity residual than count-depth (officer):** a featuredImage that LOADS but is the wrong colorway/pattern is invisible to a presence/count sweep and is the more expensive customer error (shopper orders the wrong product). Not assessable via this null/count method — needs visual/perceptual matching. Flag higher than the single-image-depth item.
 - **Merchandising-DEPTH** (curated-facet coverage, the c87-officer-queued surface) — still open, gated on cracking the Boost facet param.
 - **inventory=2026 state** — still un-audited fleet-wide.
 
 _Cycle 88. DTD-picked B (unanimous 3/3). First image-integrity sweep: full active scan (71,720) → only 2 products with NO image (China Seas "Petite Zig Zag" + Tres Tintas "Pipelines Brick", both active+orderable = genuine P2 fixable defects); negative control holds (100% with-images, so the 2 are true anomalies); a bounded 39-URL 404 spot-check found 0 broken (no CDN-rot epidemic, sample-limited). The unambiguous defect (no image) is essentially absent. Secondary signal: 63.9% (45,837) of active products are single-image PDPs = a soft merchandising/conversion-quality opportunity (Glitter Walls + PR grasscloths heavy), NOT a defect. Disposition: add images to the 2 (or unpublish), single-image is a future enrichment not a fix-now. Residuals: full 404 pass, image QUALITY, merchandising-depth, inventory=2026. PJ excluded. Read-only, $0, the 2-product fix gated._

+## 🏛️ OFFICER SIGN-OFF — vp-dw-commerce: CONFIRMED (4 refinements, folded in)
+- **Q1 — P2-for-2 right, but SHARPEN to a rule-mandated draft-flip (folded in):** "active + orderable + zero image + zero featuredImage" is a hard breach of "NEVER ACTIVE without image," not a soft backlog item. Immediate action = flip both to DRAFT + tag `Needs-Image` (cheap, reversible, Steve-gated), THEN source imagery as the P2 follow-up. Don't frame add-image and unpublish as equal options — the rule says draft-until-imaged.
+- **Q2 — "soft, not a defect" CORRECT; do NOT spin a cycle on 63.9% (folded in):** a single-image PDP is sellable, not broken; mass-flagging 45,837 would manufacture false defects and bury the 2 real ones. Future target, if any, = "single-image AND high-traffic AND high-price," homed in targeted enrichment by consideration value — not image-count writ large.
+- **Q3 — the 39-URL sample is honestly SCOPED, not overclaiming:** the cycle named the limit explicitly and listed full-404 as a residual, so "no epidemic" off 39/39-clean is a defensible negative-screen, not a per-URL certification. The full HEAD pass over all featuredImage URLs (read-only, ~$0, rate-paced) is the natural next image cycle.
+- **Q4 — scoping (folded in):** image CORRECTNESS (loads-but-wrong-colorway) is the more expensive customer error and is invisible to a presence/count sweep → flagged HIGHER-severity than count-depth. Confirmed the denominator is active-only (71,720, PJ excluded); the inv values confirm both no-image products are genuinely live-sellable (reinforces Q1 urgency).
+- **Net:** near-clean bill accurate; 3 dispositions correctly prioritized; the one tightening = the 2-product fix is an immediate rule-mandated draft-flip, not a discretionary add-image. All actions Steve-gated prod writes.
+
+CONFIRMED. 2 genuine no-image defects (draft-flip-then-image, P2); 63.9% single-image is soft-not-defect (no mass-flag); no CDN epidemic (sample-scoped); image-correctness + full-404 are the named higher-value next image residuals. Read-only, $0.
