Asset Hunter · the backup drill reports that nobody has used it

The project's own production backup, taken on 4 October 2026, records the administrator account and passkey as the only rows in the tables that require data. Ratings, rights reports, disputes, exclusion requests and the moderation audit trail were all empty, and the restore drill exits non-zero because an empty table restoring as an empty table proves nothing.

What the record says

This is the most useful thing in the project so far. The catalogue is growing and verified, and the tables that would record a stranger's judgement, report or complaint have never had a row. The failure is the product noticing and refusing to call it green.

Where the proof stops

Empty tables on 4 October 2026 do not establish that the product will never be used, that nobody has read it, or that nobody used it and left no row. They establish only that no one has rated, reported, disputed or requested exclusion. That is a statement about recorded behaviour, not about the world.
