All heavy lifting is done by existing `gsd-tools.cjs query` handlers (with legacy `gsd-tools.cjs` parity where needed) and the gsd-user-profiler agent -- this workflow orchestrates the sequence, handles branching, and provides the UX.

-Scan ALL phases in the current milestone for outstanding verification debt using the CLI (which respects milestone boundaries via `getMilestonePhaseFilter`):
+Scan ALL phases for outstanding verification debt using the CLI. Milestone scoping note (#3782): the audit milestone-filters the ACTIVE phase tree (`getMilestonePhaseFilter`), and deliberately adds ARCHIVED milestone trees unfiltered — each archived result carries an `archived_milestone` stamp. `summary.total_items` spans BOTH populations, so never read it as current-milestone debt.
 
 ```bash
 DEBT=$(gsd_run query audit-uat --raw 2>/dev/null)
+# A cross-population audit is exactly the payload that can exceed the CLI's
+# ~50KB stdout budget (io.cjs swaps in an `@file:<tmp>` pointer) — unwrap it

+```
+
+Track: `outstanding_debt` — `CURRENT_DEBT`, the non-archived (current-milestone) count. Track `archived_debt` — `ARCHIVED_DEBT`, the still-open items in already-archived milestones. Track `parse_gap_files` — `summary.parse_gap_files` from the audit.

+Archived debt stays VISIBLE — an item archived still-open is still open (the archived set can include an unrun security-boundary test). Render it as its own labeled line; never fold it into the current-milestone total and never filter it away.
+
+`summary.parse_gap_files` counts EVERY file with `parse_gap: true`, archived or not — deliberately cross-population, unlike `outstanding_debt` (which #3782 scopes to non-archived results). An outstanding item does not stop mattering because its phase belongs to an already-archived milestone: a deferred human-UAT scenario or a `skipped` live-stack test is exactly what gets archived still-open, so an archived parse gap is exactly as much unread outstanding work as an archived `result: pending` row — it surfaces through `parse_gap_files` and the unparsed row below, keeping the whole cross-population picture visible.

-Store as `$VERIFICATION_STATUS`.

-| Status | Action |
+Route on `$STATUS` and store the display string as `$VERIFICATION_STATUS` (consumed by the quick index row and the completion banner).
+
+The query is **total**: beyond the verifier's own statuses it can also return `missing` (no `*-VERIFICATION.md`, or no `status` in its frontmatter), `unknown` (a value outside the verifier's schema) or `stale` (a summary newer than the verification file). Which one wins when more than one applies is the query's own precedence, not this table's concern — all three land in the same arm here. That arm is reachable in normal operation and must never be dropped.
+
+| `$STATUS` | Action |
 |--------|--------|
 | `passed` | Store `$VERIFICATION_STATUS = "Verified"`, continue to step 7 |
 | `human_needed` | Display items needing manual check, store `$VERIFICATION_STATUS = "Needs Review"`, continue |
 | `gaps_found` | Display gap summary, offer: 1) Re-run executor to fix gaps, 2) Accept as-is. Store `$VERIFICATION_STATUS = "Gaps"` |
+| anything else — `missing`, `unknown`, `stale`, or empty | Do **not** improvise a result. Report that verification produced no usable status, naming `$STATUS`, then offer: 1) Re-run the verifier, 2) Accept as-is without verification. Store `$VERIFICATION_STATUS = "Unverified (${STATUS:-no result})"` |
+
+> **Why the status only, and not `next_action` / `next_command`.** The query projects those two for
+> the phase pipeline — they name `execute-phase`, `plan-phase --gaps` and `verify-work`, and they
+> append a phase-number argument taken from the directory basename. A quick task directory is named

+> `260808-abc-some-slug` the projected recovery command carries `260808` as its phase argument — a
+> date posing as a phase number.
+> Quick therefore supplies its own recovery actions above. The split is the point:
+> `readVerificationStatus` *discovers and parses* shape-agnostically — it scans whatever directory
+> it is given for `*-VERIFICATION.md` — which is what makes the status half correct for
+> `${QUICK_DIR}`; but it also reads that directory's basename as a phase token to build the
+> projected commands, and that is the half quick must not use.
