+# Draft abnormal-samples (+221) decoded — all SAMPLE-scale/off-storefront; single-variant-"Sample" SIGNATURE decoded (active+draft+archived-roll=0) — NOT a blanket "c68 closed" — cycle 83
+
+> ## ⚠️ SCOPE CLAIM CORRECTED (officer FLAG → re-verified in-cycle)
+> The draft 221 are confirmed benign (all sample-scale, off-storefront). But "c68 TRULY CLOSED" was an over-claim. Corrected: what's decoded is the **single-variant-"Sample"-titled abnormal signature**, across active (532) + draft (221) + a partial archived scan (18k → **0 roll-scale**, the restore-risk class). NOT covered (named, separate future work): (a) **multi-variant** products with an abnormal sample variant alongside a roll; (b) sample-priced products **NOT titled "Sample"** (the GMC "...Wallcovering"-no-Sample-word risk class); (c) the ~753-vs-~534 count is ±churn approximate. So: *signature decoded + benign-pending*, not *defect class closed*.
+
+**DTD verdict A (unanimous 3/3).** READ-ONLY (Admin GraphQL draft scan; no mutation), **$0**. Closes the c82 completeness gap (the +221 DRAFT abnormal-samples beyond the 532 active), applying the c82 magnitude-gated flat heuristic.
+
+## 🟢 Result: the +221 draft are ALL sample-scale + off-storefront — NO roll-mislabels hiding in draft (a mild de-escalation)
+Full draft scan (6,784 products, complete): **221 draft abnormal-samples**, two vendors:
+| Vendor | Draft # | Price | Distinct | SKU prefix | Era | Magnitude-gated signature (c82) |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Thibaut | 183 | $3.50–$9.95 | 2 | DWTF-70/71/72 | 2023 (178) + 2024 (5) | **FLAT-SAMPLE = benign-uniform** (NOT roll) — the DWTF disco-line's *sample* side |
+| Fentucci Naturals Walls | 38 | $5 (flat) | 1 | DWRT-30 | 2025 | **FLAT-SAMPLE = benign-uniform** — same as exact-Fentucci 21 |
+- **All 221 are SAMPLE-scale prices ($3.50–$9.95), NONE roll-priced** → none are roll-mislabels (the customer-harm class). All are **DRAFT = off-storefront** (not customer-facing, no live exposure).
+
+## 🔧 c82 correction: "Thibaut 183 = draft-disco-roll" was directionally off — they're the DWTF SAMPLE side
+- c82 assumed the 183 were the draft side of the roll-placeholder disco set. The magnitude check corrects it: they're **DWTF (discontinued fabric line) draft SAMPLES at $3.50–$9.95** — sample-scale, NOT the $125.43 roll-placeholders the *active* Thibaut 56 were. So they're not roll-mislabels and not roll-disco-placeholders; they're disco-line draft samples at off-$4.25 prices. Disposition: they ride the DWTF disco-archive (already mostly archived); being draft, no live concern.
+- **Fentucci Naturals Walls 38** = a distinct sub-vendor (DWRT-30 SKU, 2025) but the same **benign flat-$5** shape as exact-Fentucci 21 — benign, draft, optional reprice-to-$4.25.
+
+## 🔬 Skeptical decode
+- **Magnitude-gated flat heuristic (c82 lesson) applied + load-bearing:** the raw "flat=disco" rule would have mis-flagged BOTH (1–2 distinct prices) as disco; checking the MAGNITUDE ($3.50–$9.95 / $5 = sample-scale, not roll-scale) correctly classifies them benign-uniform-sample, not disco-placeholder. This is exactly the c82 correction in action.
+- **Activation-landmine check (c78):** even if any of these 221 draft are ACTIVATED, they ship a *correctly-labeled* sample at a slightly-off-$4.25 price ($3.50–$9.95 / $5) — benign, NOT a roll-mislabel or free-checkout. So no latent-activation defect (contrast the 8 draft $0 from c78, which WOULD ship free-checkout).
+- **Count reconciliation (named):** c68's original active abnormal-sample was ~534; c82 active = 532 (±2 from status churn between c68 and now). Active 532 + draft 221 = **~753 total c68 abnormal-samples**, now fully classified. Archived not swept (archived = not customer-facing + not activatable without un-archive → out of scope).
+
+## ✅ c68 ABNORMAL-SAMPLE SCOPE — TRULY CLOSED (active + draft, ~753)
+| Bucket | Count | Disposition | Customer-facing? |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Roll-mislabel (Cole&Son 352 + Kravet 13 + O&L 90) | 455 | SPLIT-fix (relabel + $4.25 Sample) | YES — the real harm |
+| Disco-stragglers (Thibaut active 56) | 56 | unpublish→archive | YES |
+| Benign $5-ish samples (Fentucci 21 active) | 21 | reprice-to-$4.25 or accept | YES (benign) |
+| **Draft sample-scale (Thibaut DWTF 183 + Fentucci NW 38)** | **221** | **archive-with-disco-line / benign; off-storefront** | **NO (draft)** |
+- **The only customer-facing HARM is the 455 active roll-mislabels (SPLIT-fix).** Everything else is disco (unpublish), benign-$5 (optional), or draft (off-storefront, no live exposure, benign even if activated). The draft 221 added NO new defect — a clean closure + mild de-escalation of the c82 "remaining work."
+
+## Recommendation (GATED — Steve's call)
+1. **Nothing new to fix from the draft 221** — they're off-storefront + sample-scale + benign-or-disco. Thibaut DWTF 183 ride the DWTF disco-archive (gated, per the c74 unpublish-then-archive path); Fentucci Naturals Walls 38 = benign-$5 (optional reprice with the exact-Fentucci 21).
+2. **The c68 disposition queue is now complete:** P2 SPLIT-fix the 455 active roll-mislabels (Cole&Son/Kravet at MAP first, then O&L label-only); P3 Thibaut active 56 unpublish (+ 183 draft DWTF ride the disco-archive); P3 Fentucci 21+38 benign reprice-or-accept. All gated.
+3. **Heuristic codified for the c75 canary:** flat-price classification MUST gate on magnitude — flat-roll = disco, flat-sample = benign-uniform (proven load-bearing twice now: c82 Fentucci + c83 Thibaut-DWTF draft).
+
+_Cycle 83. DTD-picked A (unanimous 3/3). Decoded the +221 DRAFT abnormal-samples (c82 gap): Thibaut 183 ($3.50–$9.95, DWTF disco-line SAMPLE side) + Fentucci Naturals Walls 38 (flat $5, like exact-Fentucci) — ALL sample-scale, NONE roll-mislabels, ALL draft/off-storefront → no new customer-facing defect. Magnitude-gated flat heuristic (c82) was load-bearing again (would've mis-flagged both as disco). c68 abnormal-sample scope TRULY CLOSED (active 532 + draft 221 ≈ 753): the only customer-facing harm is the 455 active roll-mislabels (SPLIT-fix); rest is disco/benign/draft. PJ excluded. Gated; nothing new from draft._

+## 🏛️ OFFICER SIGN-OFF — vp-dw-commerce: FLAG ("TRULY CLOSED" over-claimed) → reframed + re-verified in-cycle
+The officer confirmed the draft-221-benign + 455-roll-mislabel-is-the-harm conclusions are directionally right, but FLAGGED "TRULY CLOSED" + 3 gaps. All addressed:
+- **Q1 — Fentucci NW 38 was "by analogy," + the sample-only-no-roll shape (FIXED):** → directly verified in-cycle: all single-variant "Sample" @ $5, type=Wallcovering, SKU dwrt-30506x. $5 cannot be a wallcovering roll, so it's a genuine benign sample — but single-variant = **sample-only-no-roll** (the roll is absent), the same revenue-gap as the whole c68 class (logged separately, NOT laundered into benign-done).
+- **Q2 — archived excluded was the weakest leg given the April restore campaign (FIXED + re-verified):** scanned 18,000 archived → **0 ROLL-scale single-variant-Sample-abnormal** (the class that would become a live free-ish defect on restore) + 9,874 sample-scale (benign-if-restored). So the staged-restore campaign does NOT inherit a hidden roll-mislabel free-checkout from this signature (within the 18k scanned; archived pool is larger — partial-scan caveat named). Logged for the restore campaign.
+- **Q3 — magnitude-gated flat heuristic NOT safe to codify as-is (CORRECTED):** the yard-vs-roll trap (a per-yard good at $5–$9 is sample-scale-by-dollar yet a real sellable yard) + cheap-rolls/expensive-samples break magnitude-alone. The c75 canary must gate on the **STRUCTURAL signature** (single-variant + title~"Sample" + no-roll-variant + unit_of_measure) with magnitude as a SECONDARY signal only — not dollar magnitude alone.
+- **Q4 — "TRULY CLOSED" retracted (CORRECTED):** reframed to "single-variant-'Sample'-titled signature decoded (active+draft+archived-roll=0)." Out-of-scope residuals named: multi-variant abnormal-sample shapes; sample-priced-NOT-titled-"Sample" (GMC "...Wallcovering" class); ~753 count is approximate. These are the honest remaining surfaces, not "closed."
+- **Net (officer + verified):** the only LIVE customer-facing harm from this signature = the 455 active roll-mislabels (SPLIT-fix); draft 221 = benign/off-storefront; archived roll-scale = 0 (restore-safe within 18k). The defect *class* (abnormal/mislabel pricing broadly) has named residuals (multi-variant + non-Sample-titled) for future cycles.
+
+FLAG → reframed from "c68 TRULY CLOSED" to "single-variant-Sample signature decoded + benign-pending; residuals named"; Q1/Q2 re-verified in-cycle (Fentucci NW directly decoded; archived roll-scale=0/18k); Q3 heuristic corrected to structural-not-magnitude; Q4 residuals named. All fixes Steve-gated.
