 - Netem runbook Step-11 DOCFIX flagged at step E: ALREADY delivered at stage
   close (runbook targets virbr5 with 07-21 captures cited). Off the queue.
-- `opentofu/vr1-dc0-maas/` on-disk residue: git tracks NOTHING there (retire
-  ruling fully executed in the repo); what remains locally is only the
-  untracked `.terraform/` provider cache. Local cleanup candidate (safe
-  `rm -rf`), left untouched this session.
+- `opentofu/vr1-dc0-maas/` on-disk residue: DELETED 2026-07-23
+  (operator-approved after a full association check, per the pod-cascade
+  lesson -- check BEFORE delete). Verified first: 0 git-tracked files; full
+  recursive listing = provider cache only (canonical/maas 2.7.2 binary +
+  modules.json, 20 MB); 0 tfstate/tfvars/tf/key/env files; 0 symlinks; both
+  repo mentions non-load-bearing (a validator COMMENT at
+  opentofu-validate.sh:192 and a superseded-runbook tfplan filename
+  substring). Post-delete: opentofu-validate PASS, tree clean. Revert: none
+  needed (re-downloadable cache; outer root's own lock still pins maas 2.7.2).
