 Goal:
 
-Clean the historical tracker rows that make current progress hard to audit
-without changing code: duplicate `STR-010`, duplicate/ambiguous `STR-016`,
-duplicate `STR-030`, malformed `RND-006` completed-task table shape, and stale
-`pending` closeout rows.
+This historical tracker normalization was completed without changing code:
+duplicate `STR-010`, duplicate/ambiguous `STR-016`, duplicate `STR-030`,
+malformed `RND-006` completed-task table shape, and stale `pending` closeout
+rows were normalized for auditability.
