+- PASS: Started from fresh `main` after PR026 and PR027 merged.
+- PASS: Scope stayed report-only and did not change runtime code.
+- PASS: Inventory classified remaining SQLite references.
+- PASS: Active runtime SQLite implementation count is 0.
+- PASS: Local API SQLite reference count is 0.
+- PASS: Historical archive/report references were not rewritten.
+- PASS: `git diff --check` validation is required and recorded.
+- PASS: No Playwright was run because report-only changes do not affect UI/runtime behavior.
+- PASS: No samples were run.
+- PASS: Required report artifacts were produced.

+# PR_26171_GAMMA_028 Manual Validation Notes
+
+- Confirmed current branch: `pr/26171-GAMMA-028-final-sqlite-clean-status-report`.
+- Confirmed fresh `main` after PR026 and PR027 was used as the branch base.
+- Ran full SQLite text inventory excluding `.git`, `node_modules`, `tmp`, and generated Playwright `tests/results`.
+- Confirmed active runtime SQLite implementation count is 0.
+- Confirmed Local API SQLite reference count is 0.
+- Confirmed remaining active docs references are SQLite deprecation governance only.
+- Confirmed remaining tests are negative exposure assertions or the Game Journey legacy data-preservation guard.
+- Confirmed remaining allowed technical debt is limited to validation/governance guard rules and the Game Journey legacy data-preservation guard.
+- Did not run Playwright because this PR changes report artifacts only.
+- Did not run samples.

+# PR_26171_GAMMA_028-final-sqlite-clean-status-report
+
+## Scope
+
+Run final SQLite inventory after PR026 and PR027. Confirm active runtime and Local API SQLite implementation status, classify remaining references, and document any follow-up.
+
+## Dependency Closeout
+
+- PR #48 / `PR_26171_GAMMA_026-sqlite-test-reference-cleanup` was merged to `main`.
+- PR #49 / `PR_26171_GAMMA_027-sqlite-doc-reference-cleanup` was merged to `main`.
+- Fresh branch was created from `main` at `0ccaf0e64badb3daa338a6b1862a7f457b35d280`.
+
+## Inventory Commands
+
+Counts were captured before PR028 report artifacts were written, so the report does not self-count its own SQLite summary text.
+
+```text
+rg -n -i --glob '!node_modules/**' --glob '!.git/**' --glob '!tmp/**' --glob '!tests/results/**' "sqlite|node:sqlite|DatabaseSync|\.sqlite" .
+rg -n -i --glob '!node_modules/**' --glob '!.git/**' --glob '!tmp/**' --glob '!tests/results/**' "node:sqlite|DatabaseSync|better-sqlite|sqlite3|messages-sqlite-service|messages\.sqlite|GAMEFOUNDRY_MESSAGES_SQLITE_PATH" src src/dev-runtime/server/local-api-router.mjs
+```
+
+## Summary
+
+| Category | Files | Lines | Status |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | --- |
+| Active Runtime | 0 | 0 | PASS: no active SQLite runtime implementation remains. |
+| Local API | 0 | 0 | PASS: `src/dev-runtime/server/local-api-router.mjs` has zero SQLite matches. |
+| Tests | 2 | 5 | PASS: remaining references are negative exposure assertions and the legacy data-preservation guard test. |
+| Docs | 1 | 7 | PASS: remaining active docs references are `PROJECT_INSTRUCTIONS.md` deprecation governance. |
+| Archive/Reference | 130 | 393 | PASS: historical PR/report references retained for traceability. |
+| Allowed Technical Debt | 2 | 17 | PASS: validation/governance guard rules plus the Game Journey legacy data-preservation guard. |
+
+Total remaining inventory: 135 files and 422 lines.
+
+## Migration Status
+
+SQLite runtime migration complete.
+
+Active runtime SQLite implementation count is 0. Active Local API SQLite reference count is 0.
+
+## Remaining Current References
+
+### Tests
+
+- `tests/playwright/tools/AdminHealthOperationsPage.spec.mjs`
+  - Lines 214 and 221 assert the Admin Health page/runtime source does not expose `SQLite`.
+- `tests/playwright/tools/GameJourneyTool.spec.mjs`
+  - Lines 1458, 1459, and 1469 verify the Game Journey legacy SQLite data-preservation guard.
+
+### Docs
+
+- `docs_build/dev/PROJECT_INSTRUCTIONS.md`
+  - Lines 379 and 385-390 document SQLite deprecation governance and prohibit new SQLite persistence.
+
+### Allowed Technical Debt
+
+- `src/dev-runtime/persistence/game-journey-completion-metrics-store.mjs`
+  - Purpose: preserve data safety by failing visibly if an unmigrated legacy SQLite metrics file still exists.
+  - This guard does not import, open, read, write, or fall back to SQLite.
+- `scripts/validate-browser-env-agnostic.mjs`
+  - Purpose: validation/governance rules that reject SQLite/provider/environment implementation details from browser/runtime surfaces.
+
+## Archive References
+
+Historical references remain in `docs_build/dev/reports/**`, `docs_build/pr/**`, and old validation logs. They are retained for audit traceability and are not active runtime ownership.
+
+## Follow-Up
+
+No active SQLite runtime or Local API follow-up is required. A future cleanup may retire the Game Journey legacy data-preservation guard only after the owner confirms legacy file migration risk has expired.
