 - **FINAL DTD:** SHIP — 2/2 local, $0.
 - **Pending-approval queue:** empty. No gated action fired; no spend (all headless $0 local).
 - **Phase 2 status:** Arizona base established across Phoenix/Scottsdale/Tempe/Mesa/Gilbert/Tucson/Pinal/Flagstaff; ready for coverage-building passes + press/LinkedIn enrichment in subsequent cycles toward an AZ quality gate.

+## Cycle 7 — 2026-07-30 ~23:10 PT — Arizona coverage + name-gate hardening (FIX-THEN-SHIP)
+- **Increment:** targeted headless + press-contact + capped LinkedIn on gate-uncovered AZ orgs → AZ coverage 68%→81% (39/48), AZ people 265→312.
+- **Self-audit override:** local panel voted SHIP on the numbers, but MY quality sample showed ~4/8 junk crossed ("Utilities Field Inspector", "Event Coordination", "Camp Bow Wow" = a PR client) — I did NOT rubber-stamp SHIP against my own evidence.
+- **Fix (structural, not word-chasing per Cody c3):** name gate now rejects any string whose LAST token is a role/category noun (titles end in roles, names in surnames) — kills the "Utilities Field Inspector" class. 5/7 known leaks caught, 7/7 real names pass; 2 residuals (a typo'd title, a business name structurally identical to a 3-word name) are genuinely review-only and correctly land needs_verification (never verified/sendable).
+- **Retro-sweep with the new gate flagged 25 more junk across both states. Honest re-measure: CA still PASSES at 70.3% (104/148), AZ 81% (39/48)** — coverage was real, not junk-propped.
+- **FINAL: SHIP** (fixes applied + honestly re-verified; both states hold above 70%). $0 this cycle beyond a few capped LinkedIn queries.
