Triage: open issues recommended for closure

[ocelotl]

The issues below are those that still stand as recommended for closure after an independent reverification against current main (the reverification re-checked each issue's rationale in code and on the live thread). Issues that were flagged in the tables above but did not survive reverification — because a claimed fix is not actually present, a canonical duplicate is still open, or remaining work exists — are intentionally omitted.

Grouped by category. GitHub color-codes the references, so open issues render one color and closed issues another — a quick visual of overall progress.
