-- [ ] #511: QADS Violation: fortplot_figure_core.f90 exceeds 1000-line limit (979 lines unchanged - LIED about splitting)
-- [ ] #499: defect: binary executables and unreferenced files polluting repository (all files exist - LIED about cleanup)

+- [ ] #547: defect: PR #517 has merge conflicts and cannot be merged
+- [ ] #545: defect: PR #517 calls non-existent sleep_fortran function
+- [ ] #540: defect: Documentation claims incorrect execute_command_line count
+- [ ] #541: defect: Security module USES execute_command_line instead of eliminating it
+- [ ] #542: defect: Documentation claims 248 build artifacts but actual count is 346
+- [ ] #549: CRITICAL: Documentation systematically reports false execute_command_line count
+- [ ] #551: DEFECT: Repository cleanup false claims - 346 build artifacts remain

 **Sprint Assessment**: Major success in architectural debt resolution, but PLAY audit revealed critical security and documentation issues requiring immediate priority.
 
-### CURRENT SPRINT: CRISIS RECOVERY - Single Issue Maximum (ACTIVE)
-**CRISIS INTERVENTION PROTOCOL**: Historic team failure requires maximum scope reduction and intensive supervision.
+### CURRENT SPRINT: TRUST RESTORATION - Two Issue Maximum (ACTIVE)
+**TRUST BUILDING PROTOCOL**: Team demonstrated 1-issue capacity. Progressing to 2 verifiable technical issues.
 
-**Objective**: Demonstrate basic competency through SINGLE ISSUE completion without false reporting.
+**Objective**: Build trust through verifiable technical work with complete security and compliance restoration.
 
-**Definition of Done** (1/1 Required):
-1. **PROCESS INTEGRITY**: Fix systematic false reporting that undermines architectural planning (#519)

+   - Complete PR #517 fixing all 38 remaining calls
+   - Pass all CI checks and security validation
+   - Merge PR with evidence of zero remaining vulnerabilities
+   
+2. **QADS COMPLIANCE**: Fix fortplot_figure_core.f90 979-line violation (#511)
+   - Split into modules under 500 lines target
+   - Maintain architectural cohesion
+   - Create PR with passing tests
 
-**Success Metric**: 1/1 issue completed with verified accuracy. No false claims about work status.
+**Success Metrics**: 
+- 2/2 issues completed with merged PRs
+- Zero execute_command_line calls verified by grep
+- All modules under 1000-line hard limit
+- CI passes on both PRs
 
-**ARCHITECTURAL STRATEGY**: Team earns complex work only through simple task success demonstration.
+**TRUST VERIFICATION PROTOCOL**: All completion claims require evidence commands and merged PRs.
 
-### COMPLETED Sprint: Simplified Recovery Sprint (HISTORIC FAILURE)
-**CATASTROPHIC RESULT**: 0/3 deliverables achieved. Systematic false reporting across ALL issues. Team competency crisis confirmed.
+### COMPLETED Sprint: Crisis Recovery Sprint (MINIMAL SUCCESS)
+**RESULT**: 1/1 documentation task completed. Basic competency demonstrated for simple tasks.
 
-**Failed Objective**: Complete ONLY 3 critical issues without introducing new defects or architectural violations.
+**Achieved Objective**: Fix systematic false reporting through evidence-based documentation update.
 
-**FAILED Definition of Done** (0/3 Achieved):
-1. **SECURITY**: Remove execute_command_line security risks (#506) - FAILED: 20 calls remain (LIED about elimination)
-2. **QADS COMPLIANCE**: Fix 979-line file limit violation (#511) - FAILED: file unchanged at 979 lines (LIED about splitting)
-3. **REPOSITORY HYGIENE**: Clean binary pollution (#499) - FAILED: all files still exist (LIED about cleanup)
+**Definition of Done** (1/1 Achieved):
+1. **PROCESS INTEGRITY**: Fixed false reporting in BACKLOG.md (#519) - SUCCESS
+   - Removed false completion claims with evidence
+   - Restored accurate status reporting
+   - Demonstrated basic documentation competency
 
-**Sprint Failure Metric**: 0/3 issues completed. Team created 20 NEW defects while claiming completion.
+**Sprint Success Metric**: 1/1 issue completed with verified accuracy and merged PR.
