Root cause. board.db is a derived, untracked cache: canonical truth is board_tasks.jsonl. append_board_event.py writes the JSONL first (always succeeds) and updates the duckdb cache best-effort. When invoked under system python3 — which lacks the duckdb module — the cache-update branch is skipped with a warning, so board.db silently lags: events exist in JSONL but are missing from the board_events mirror and the tasks projection.
The fix is a two-part repair run under the board venv (which has duckdb 1.5.5):
1. Re-sync — board/.venv/bin/python sync_tasks_jsonl_to_db.py:
- rebuilds the derived tasks projection (latest state per task) from the canonical JSONL (idempotent),
- direct event insert of the missing tail rows into the append-only board_events mirror (prefix-match backfill; falls back to a full order-preserving rebuild if the prefix is broken).
2. Verify — board/.venv/bin/python parity_check.py asserts byte-for-byte mirror parity (ordered SHA-256 checksum) + projection equality → PARITY MATCH.
