docs: post-merge sync — #1241 (#1263) + #1218 (#1265) shipped

[Chris0Jeky]

Docs-only post-merge sync per the repo DoD (update docs when reality changes).

• STATUS.md: 2026-07-02 sync comment; the two stale seeded-follow-up lines annotated shipped — #1241 → #1263 (Windows owner-only ACL on appsettings.local.json + hardened MCP local-config loading) and #1218 → #1265 (WCAG focus-ring contrast sweep); Last Updated → 2026-07-02.
• IMPLEMENTATION_MASTERPLAN.md: new delivery-log entry for the two slices (review gates, seeded follow-ups #1262/#1264(→PR #1267)/#1266); Last Updated → 2026-07-02.

Verified locally: node scripts/check-docs-governance.mjs + check-golden-principles.mjs both pass. Content drawn from the merged PRs #1263/#1265 and their review threads.

Code Review

This pull request updates the implementation masterplan and status documentation to reflect the delivery of the security and accessibility quality slices on 2026-07-02, including the Windows secrets-at-rest ACL and the WCAG focus-ring contrast sweep. The review feedback points out a minor phrasing contradiction in the status document regarding open versus shipped follow-up tasks and provides a clear suggestion to resolve it.

Important

The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.

Adversarial Code Review (docs accuracy lens)

Independent reviewer verified every factual claim in the diff against the merged PRs (#1263/#1265), the issues (#1241/#1218/#1262/#1264/#1266/#1267), the merged code on main, and the docs-governance regex.

CRITICAL / HIGH

• None

MEDIUM

• 'removes 6 compile-proven dead checkbox classes' — the real count is 5 (per the merged diff 1bb3cac6: 5 checkbox lines; 19 total ring-primary/50 sites = 13 rendered focus + 1 selected-state + 5 dead). The docs propagated a prose error from the fix(a11y): sweep focus:ring-primary/50 to full-opacity ring for WCAG AA contrast (#1218) #1265 PR body (whose own per-file list sums to 5).

LOW

• 'Gemini/Codex/Copilot bot rounds resolved' framed per-PR overstated fix(a11y): sweep focus:ring-primary/50 to full-opacity ring for WCAG AA contrast (#1218) #1265 (Codex reviewed fix(security): lock appsettings.local.json secrets to the current user on Windows (#1241) #1263 only).
• '18 focus rings swept to full opacity' was loose — 5 of the 18 were removed as dead, not kept.

Verified (refutation attempted, failed)

PR/issue states + merge SHAs; every #1263 technical claim (0600 / protected DACL / dependency-free / fail-closed / forward remediation / restricted backup / MCP absolute-path + quarantine + env-var priority — confirmed in main code); #1265 numbers (19 sites, 0 left, contrast figures faithful); cross-doc consistency (no contradicting 'still open' text); Last Updated format matches the governance regex.

Fixes Applied

Finding	Severity	Fix	Verified
Dead-class count 6 → 5 + precise 19-site arithmetic	MEDIUM	278aa72c (also corrected at the source: #1265 PR body edited)	governance script passes; arithmetic matches git show 1bb3cac6
Codex-coverage phrasing	LOW	278aa72c — 'Gemini/Copilot bot rounds resolved (+Codex rounds on #1263)'	—
'18 swept' loose phrasing	LOW	278aa72c — '13 rendered focus rings + the selected-label state ring lifted … 5 dead classes removed'	—

All findings addressed. CI status: PENDING on 278aa72c.
