# Migration Completeness Audit

**Date:** 2026-06-01
**Question this gates:** Is it safe to archive `~/Dropbox/CLAUDE_PROJECTS/` to SSD and DELETE it?
**Method:** COPY-ONLY. Nothing in the Dropbox tree was moved, renamed, or deleted. No clobbers — differing files were copied alongside with a `.FROM_DROPBOX` suffix.

---

## 1. HEADLINE RISKS — must relocate BEFORE deleting the Dropbox tree

Two items hold content that exists **ONLY** in `~/Dropbox/CLAUDE_PROJECTS` and is NOT in any new home or pushed to any remote:

1. **`~/Dropbox/CLAUDE_PROJECTS/starsend-tv/`** — git repo (`github.com/joeturnerlin/starsend-tv`), but it has **5 unpushed commits** AND **untracked, never-committed** content including the universe bibles:
   - `~/Dropbox/CLAUDE_PROJECTS/starsend-tv/universes/` (24K) — contains `the-afterimage/UNIVERSE_BIBLE.md`
   - `~/Dropbox/CLAUDE_PROJECTS/starsend-tv/format_micro/` (128K)
   - `~/Dropbox/CLAUDE_PROJECTS/starsend-tv/content_filter_log.md`
   - `~/Dropbox/CLAUDE_PROJECTS/starsend-tv/.claude/`
   → **The product dir with universe bibles is NOT safely backed up. Push commits + commit-or-relocate the untracked dirs before delete.**

2. **`~/Dropbox/CLAUDE_PROJECTS/recoil-website/`** — git repo (`github.com/joeturnerlin/recoilstudios`), 0 unpushed commits, but **untracked, never-committed** poster art and backup HTML lives only on disk:
   - `posters/RELIC_Poster*.png` (11 files: v2–v5f, final, fixed)
   - `index_v1_backup.html`, `index_v1_clean.html`
   → **Relocate or commit the RELIC posters + backup HTML before delete.**

**Borderline (committed to remote, but local working tree diverges — verify before delete):**
- **`~/Dropbox/CLAUDE_PROJECTS/OTF-Website-project/`** — git repo (`github.com/joeturnerlin/outsidetheframe`). Working tree shows **88 deletions + 1 modified + 12 untracked** vs HEAD. The full site lives in git HEAD/remote, so source is recoverable via `git clone`, but the **current on-disk working state is divergent** and is not reflected anywhere else. If that working state matters, capture it; otherwise the remote is authoritative.

Everything else is either MIGRATED, safely in git remotes, duplicated in `_evicted` staging, or regenerable CRUFT. See tables below.

## 2. TASK A — Recoil asset restoration results

Diffed OLD `~/Dropbox/CLAUDE_PROJECTS/projects/<proj>/` against NEW `~/Dropbox/CLAUDE_DATA/recoil/projects/<proj>/` for media (`.png .jpg .jpeg .webp .mp4 .mov .webm`) and adjacent JSON sidecars. Copied every media/sidecar present in Dropbox but absent in CLAUDE_DATA. Skipped `node_modules / .git / __pycache__ / .pytest_cache / .ruff_cache / .DS_Store / *.pyc` and any `_quarantine` / `_test_*` dir.

### Per-project (only projects with changes shown; all 28 project dirs exist identically-named on both sides)

| Project | Copied | Already present | Conflicts | Missing sidecars (copied) | Bytes copied |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| `afterimage` | 38 | 833 | 0 | 0 | 139,352,707 |
| `driver-beware` | 101 | 1,116 | 0 | 17 | 62,997,320 |
| `leviathan` | 1,217 | 2,200 | 0 | 0 | 2,036,235,600 |
| `ronin-drm` | 6 | 143 | 0 | 0 | 4,464,910 |
| `starsend-test` | 135 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 176,399,350 |
| `tartarus` | 145 | 296 | 243 | 70 | 211,102,292 |
| **TOTALS** | **1,642** | **4,901** | **243** | **87** | **2,630,552,179 (2.63 GB)** |

All other project dirs (`afterimage-anime`, `belfry`, `borders`, `client_utilityvideo`, `echo`, `generation-architecture`, `olympus`, `singularity`, `state`, `the-eye`, `the-hike`, `time-enough-for-love`, `tourniquet`, `test_project`, `test-project`, and `_archive _exec_test_r2 _phase14_gate_test _probes _shared _test_r5 _test_r5b _test_r5c _test_stratlib`) had **zero missing media/sidecars** — already fully present in CLAUDE_DATA.

### Sidecar verdict (JT believed these "already migrated")
**Mostly true, with exceptions.** 87 sidecars were present in Dropbox but MISSING in CLAUDE_DATA and have now been copied:
- **`driver-beware`: 17 missing sidecars** — all under `assets/prop/blue_car/` (e.g. `front.png.json`, `car_ref_sheet.jpg.json`, `regen_ref_frame_01..12.jpg.json`, `back.png.json`, `profile.png.json`, `three_quarter.png.json`).
- **`tartarus`: 70 missing sidecars** — copied alongside their media.
These were genuinely absent before this run; the "sidecars already migrated" assumption was incomplete.

### Conflicts (243 total — all in `tartarus`)
No file was overwritten. Each differing Dropbox file was written alongside as `*.FROM_DROPBOX.*`. **236 `.FROM_DROPBOX.*` files written** (243 conflicts minus 7 dangling-symlink errors below).

Breakdown:
- **229 sidecar JSON conflicts** — `tartarus` `.png.json` / `.json` sidecars whose content differs between the two trees (e.g. `assets/prop/salvage_hook/*.png.json`, `assets/prop/warden_drone/warden_drone_ref.png.json`, `assets/prop/cryo_pod/cryo_pod_hero.png.json`). Dropbox versions preserved as `.FROM_DROPBOX.json`.
- **7 media conflicts — TEST STUBS, not production art.** These 7 differ because the Dropbox file is a 1×1 placeholder PNG and the CLAUDE_DATA file is a symlink string pointing at `recoil/pipeline/tools/audit_fixtures/`. Both are audit fixtures, not real assets:
  - `tartarus/assets/identity/jade/jade_identity_{hero,profile,front,closeup,three-quarter,back}_v01.png`
  - `tartarus/assets/loc/corridor/corridor_loc_hero_v01.png`

### 7 "errors" = dangling symlinks (NOT data loss)
These `tartarus` entries are symlinks whose targets do not exist anywhere in the Dropbox tree, so there was no real file to copy. Listed for completeness; no action needed (broken links, not lost binaries):
- `assets/prop/CRYOPOD_PROBE/CRYOPOD_PROBE_prop_frontal_v01.png` → (missing) `output/refs/props/cryo_pod/cryo_pod_hero.png`
- `assets/identity/WREN_CLOSEUP_4K/WREN_CLOSEUP_4K_identity_frontal_v01.png` → (missing) `output/refs/_canonical/characters/wren/closeup.jpg`
- `assets/identity/WREN_FRONT_4K/WREN_FRONT_4K_identity_frontal_v01.png` → (missing) `.../wren/front.jpg`
- `assets/identity/JADE_CLOSEUP_4K/JADE_CLOSEUP_4K_identity_frontal_v01.png` → (missing) `.../jade/closeup.jpg`
- `assets/identity/JADE_FRONT_4K/JADE_FRONT_4K_identity_frontal_v01.png` → (missing) `.../jade/front.jpg`
- `assets/identity/jade/jade_identity_frontal_v01.jpeg` → (missing) `../jade_anime_v1.jpg`
- `assets/loc/SHAFT_PROBE/SHAFT_PROBE_loc_establishing_v01.png` → (missing) `output/refs/_canonical/locations/.../hero.png`

**Task A bottom line:** 1,642 files (2.63 GB) of real missing media + sidecars restored to CLAUDE_DATA. No clobbers. The only conflicts are stale tartarus sidecar JSONs and test-fixture stubs.

## 4. RECOMMENDATIONS — before deleting `~/Dropbox/CLAUDE_PROJECTS`

**Must do (real data loss otherwise):**
1. **starsend-tv** — `cd ~/Dropbox/CLAUDE_PROJECTS/starsend-tv && git push` the 5 commits, then commit (or copy elsewhere) the untracked `universes/` (UNIVERSE_BIBLE.md), `format_micro/`, `content_filter_log.md`. Decide where the starsend-tv product dir should permanently live (it is not under `~/Code` or `~/CLAUDE_PROJECTS`).
2. **recoil-website** — commit or relocate the untracked `posters/RELIC_Poster*.png` (11 files) and `index_v1_backup.html` / `index_v1_clean.html`. Repo commits are already pushed.

**Should verify (remote authoritative, local diverges):**
3. **OTF-Website-project** — confirm the 88-file working-tree deletion + 12 untracked files are intentional / disposable. If the current on-disk state matters, capture it; otherwise rely on `git clone github.com/joeturnerlin/outsidetheframe`.
4. **OTF-Website-project-OLD** — no git, no new home. Decide keep (move to SSD) or discard.

**Decide on SSD vs discard (in `_evicted` staging, large):**
5. `_evicted/conversation-archive` (764 MB) and `_evicted/archive` (144 MB) — duplicated content; choose whether to keep on the SSD archive.
6. `_scratch/pre_v2_migration_20260527T155022.tar.gz` (10 GB) — this IS the pre-split backup. Keep on SSD if you want the snapshot; otherwise it's the largest single chunk of recoverable space.

**Re-clone after delete (safe, in git):** `Stork-website-project` (storkfilms), `recoil-website` (recoilstudios — after committing posters), `starsend-tv` (after push), `OTF-Website-project` (outsidetheframe). None currently live on local disk outside Dropbox.

**Everything else** is MIGRATED to `~/CLAUDE_PROJECTS`, `~/Dropbox/CLAUDE_DATA`, `~/Code`, or `~/.config`, or is regenerable CRUFT — safe to delete once 1–4 are handled.
