+# PR_26179_OWNER_010-close-pr-176-audit-archive
+
+## Purpose
+
+Archive the read-only forensic audit for PR #176, `PR_26175_OWNER_055: retain legal governance leftovers`, and record the Owner governance disposition.
+
+Final disposition: keep PR #176 closed with no replacement.
+
+## Scope
+
+This is a no-code Owner governance PR.
+
+This PR does not:
+
+- modify runtime code
+- modify product files
+- modify API files
+- modify database files
+- reopen PR #176
+- merge PR #176
+- close any additional PR
+- push changes to any PR branch except this governance report branch
+
+## PR #176 Current State
+
+| Field | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+| PR | #176 |
+| Title | `PR_26175_OWNER_055: retain legal governance leftovers` |
+| State | Closed |
+| Merged | No |
+| Closed at | `2026-06-28T12:44:46Z` |
+| Head branch | `codex/pr-26175-owner-055-legal-governance-leftover-retention` |
+| Head commit | `a539822e26` |
+
+## Original Purpose
+
+PR #176 was opened to retain post-OWNER_054 legal/governance leftover artifacts after the corrected legal package was applied.
+
+The PR intended to preserve:
+
+- legal package implementation/source notes
+- legal foundation package governance notes
+- a generated current-open-PR governance snapshot
+- OWNER_055 validation, checklist, manual notes, changed-files, review-diff, and ZIP outputs
+- confirmation that no `IMPLEMENTATION.md` remained at the repository root
+
+## Changed Files In PR #176
+
+PR #176 changed these files:
+
+- `docs_build/dev/reports/PR_26175_OWNER_055-legal-governance-leftover-retention.md`
+- `docs_build/dev/reports/PR_26175_OWNER_055-legal-governance-leftover-retention_branch-validation.md`
+- `docs_build/dev/reports/PR_26175_OWNER_055-legal-governance-leftover-retention_manual-validation-notes.md`
+- `docs_build/dev/reports/PR_26175_OWNER_055-legal-governance-leftover-retention_requirement-checklist.md`
+- `docs_build/dev/reports/PR_26175_OWNER_055-legal-governance-leftover-retention_validation-lane.md`
+- `docs_build/dev/reports/PR_26175_OWNER_current-open-pr-status.md`
+- `docs_build/dev/reports/codex_changed_files.txt`
+- `docs_build/dev/reports/codex_review.diff`
+- `docs_build/legal/IMPLEMENTATION.md`
+- `docs_build/legal/LEGAL_CHANGELOG.md`
+- `docs_build/pr/PLAN_PR_26175_OWNER_055-legal-governance-leftover-retention.md`
+
+## Unique Requirements Found
+
+The useful requirement content in PR #176 was legal provenance and implementation guidance:
+
+- publish the public legal pages
+- use one shared legal navigation source of truth
+- set `aria-current="page"` on the selected legal page
+- add footer links to legal documents
+- preserve readable and accessible legal pages
+- avoid unrelated runtime, API, database, or product changes
+
+Review comments also identified governance defects:
+
+- `codex_changed_files.txt` lacked required status/stat evidence
+- branch validation passed a nonconforming branch name
+- OWNER_055 sequence number was reused
+- `BUILD_PR` was marked complete without a committed BUILD_PR source doc
+- legal implementation notes pointed at the wrong legal PR identifier
+
+## Implemented Elsewhere
+
+The product-facing legal requirements are already present on current `main`.
+
+Current `main` contains:
+
+- `legal/index.html`
+- `legal/terms-of-service.html`
+- `legal/privacy-policy.html`
+- `legal/cookie-policy.html`
+- `legal/community-guidelines.html`
+- `legal/copyright-policy.html`
+- `legal/dmca-policy.html`
+- `legal/legal-nav.js`
+
+The shared legal navigation source exists in `legal/legal-nav.js` and sets `aria-current="page"` on the current document link.
+
+Footer legal links exist in `assets/theme-v2/partials/footer.html`.
+
+The actual legal package implementation is documented by merged PR #175, `PR_26175_OWNER_054: apply corrected legal package`, and by `dev/reports/PR_26175_OWNER_054-legal-corrected-package.md`.
+
+## Not Found On Current Main
+
+The exact PR #176 retained leftovers are not present on current `main`:
+
+- `docs_build/legal/IMPLEMENTATION.md`
+- `docs_build/legal/LEGAL_CHANGELOG.md`
+- `docs_build/dev/reports/PR_26175_OWNER_current-open-pr-status.md`
+- OWNER_055-specific report bundle
+- OWNER_055 PLAN document
+
+These are provenance/report artifacts rather than active product implementation requirements.
+
+## Obsolete `docs_build` Conflicts
+
+PR #176 conflicts with current architecture because it uses obsolete repository paths:
+
+- `docs_build/`
+- `docs_build/dev/reports/`
+- `docs_build/pr/`
+- `tmp/`
+
+Current canonical governance and reports live under:
+
+- `dev/build/`
+- `dev/reports/`
+- `dev/workspace/`
+
+Because PR #176 is based on old paths and contains unresolved governance review findings, rebasing it would carry forward stale structure and stale report conventions.
+
+## Lost Requirements Assessment
+
+No active legal product requirement appears lost by keeping PR #176 closed.
+
+The only unique material not on `main` is historical provenance text and stale generated report material. The active legal implementation and user-visible legal page requirements are already present through #175 and current `legal/` files.
+
+If Owner later wants historical provenance preserved, it should be recreated as a small current-path archive note under `dev/reports/` or `dev/build/`, with corrected PR identifiers. No replacement is needed for PR #176 itself.
+
+## Final Disposition
+
+Recommendation: keep PR #176 closed with no replacement.
+
+Reason:
+
+- PR #176 was closed and never merged.
+- Its product-facing legal requirements are already implemented on `main`.
+- Its remaining unique content is stale provenance/report material.
+- It uses obsolete `docs_build/` paths.
+- It has unresolved review comments that would need correction even if the content were preserved.
+- Reopening, rebasing, or completing it would add maintenance overhead without adding active product value.
+
+## Validation Summary
+
+- Branch validation: PASS
+- `git diff --check`: PASS
+- `npm run validate:canonical-structure`: PASS
+- Runtime code changed: No
+- Product files changed: No
+- API/database files changed: No
+- PR #176 state changed: No
