+## Valid Findings Addressed
+
+- Changed the amendment contract status from active planning to merged.
+- Changed the amendment chunk-map row from active planning to merged.
+- Changed both `02A1` initiative-local status locations to require this
+  post-merge memory plus a separate explicit user start.
+- Corrected `REVIEW_LOG.md` to reference the post-merge internal evidence,
+  external response, and trust bundle.
+- Added the missing post-merge external-response link to initiative `STATUS.md`.
+- Rebound this evidence and the trust bundle to reviewed code SHA `e1fc481` and
+  corrected the reviewed file count.
+- Ran a broad stale-state scan after the repairs; no current amendment or
+  `02A1` pre-merge wording remains.
