Counting gave 49 open / 69 done, and 25 of the 49 sat inside entries whose heading announced completion - RESOLVED, FIXED, ACCEPTED or struck through. Scanning headings said the work was finished; the boxes said otherwise. Same defect this file documents in the infrastructure, reproduced in the document that records it.

Four were done and never ticked: pihole config modes (#485), the dns-group identity (the inventory already had the right shape), services.md:21, and 1.12's git question - which had an answer in git log the whole time. Seven were not tasks: 4.17's four conditions sat under a heading reading 'Revisit if any of these become true', and 3.9 had a cross-reference. A checkbox that cannot be ticked inflates the count forever.

Found on the way: services.md:20 still claimed the NAS exports via smbd, eighteen days after CLAUDE.md recorded it measured absent; services.md:21 had gone wrong a second time when 1.9 disabled the offsite timer; and 1.12's verification step prefix-matched '5' as a snapshot ID and silently ignored its own --tag filter.

Records the remaining 16 grouped by what closes each - eight are a single command away. Adds two follow-ups: 17 prose bullets in 7 and 9 that have no checkbox at all, and n150-3, which is in the inventory, in one group, and in no fleet list.
