-### Fixed
-
-- Conversation fact backfills now use versioned, snapshot-bound terminal audit rows as durable page-completion authority, so checkpoint garbage collection cannot make completed pages repeat extraction and model spend.
-- Successfully recognized pages with no eligible multi-message segment receive a separate scanned-not-extractable outcome. Parser misses, cleanup failures, provider failures, malformed or refused model output, and insert failures remain unfinished and retryable.
-- Database pages bind outcomes to content hash plus effective date; raw transcript sidecars bind them to a SHA-256 digest of parser input and metadata. Under-lock refetch and final snapshot verification prevent concurrent edits, including sub-millisecond writes, from certifying stale work.
-- Legacy terminal rows replay once under the strict v2 protocol. A checkpoint without a matching v2 outcome is discarded before delete-first full replay.
-- `--limit` is applied after completed pages are filtered, so it caps pages that need work rather than pages merely inspected.
-- CLI, cycle details, and doctor now report completed, scanned-not-extractable, and genuinely unfinished pages separately.
