# Work evidence external archive 2026-08-03

Status: complete
Result: verified
Type: evidence
Updated: 2026-08-03
Next Action: retain the verified external archive and per-file manifest; direct future raw evidence to `work/evidence/generated/`
Campaign Reason: Historical or workspace-maintenance record retained independently; no separate owner-queue execution is required.
Campaign: standalone
Canonical Truth: docs/evidence-retention-policy.md

- External per-file manifest: `E:/dev/high_point/evidence-archive/7520553_SMI_FW/work-evidence-raw-20260803-files.csv`
- Manifest bytes: `6163716`

## Verification and cleanup

- The source snapshot contained `25584` files totaling `679905796` bytes.
- The archive was extracted to a separate external verification directory.
- All `25584` extracted files matched the per-file source size and SHA-256
  manifest; mismatch count was zero.
- The deletion set contained only the `25354` ignored files marked
  `tracked=False` in the manifest, totaling `678714364` bytes.
- Every deletion candidate was rechecked against its recorded size and SHA-256
  before deletion.
- All `230` Git-tracked Markdown and JSON evidence records were excluded from
  deletion and remain in the workspace.
- Empty generated directories and the external verification scratch tree were
  removed after verification. The archive and manifest remain intact.
- Git history was not rewritten.

The archive is recovery storage, not canonical current project truth. Use the
tracked summaries and manifests for normal review, and consult or extract the
external archive only when raw historical captures are specifically required.
