+# Live DB Verification — 2026-06-15 (read-only, via existing SSH tunnel)
+
+Ran read-only queries against the live Jetson corpus (`papers=36`,
+`citations=811`). This **confirms the two identity HIGHs with hard numbers** and
+**corrects an over-statement in M-1**.
+
+### C-7 — CONFIRMED ✅ (severity stands: HIGH)
+`papers.id` form distribution: **`doi_url=35`, `bare_arxiv=1`, everything else 0**
+(of 36). Samples: `https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.math/0603097`,
+`https://doi.org/10.48550/arxiv.2310.17529`. Even arXiv papers are stored as their
+arXiv-DOI **URL**, never the bare `math/0603097` / `2301.x` the schema, `models.Paper`,
+and `ingest_all.sh` assume. The single bare id is the one paper OpenAlex 404'd
+(fell to `ingest.py:94`). → bare-ID lookups fail for 35/36 papers. Confirmed.
+
+### C-1 — CONFIRMED ✅ with impact (severity stands: HIGH)
+- `citations.cited_id` is uniformly **`oa_url=811`** (all OpenAlex URLs) — the live
+  corpus was ingested via the OpenAlex path, so the heterogeneous bare-DOI/S2 mix
+  theorised in Part B is **not present here** (it would appear only via S2/GROBID,
+  i.e. `.pdf`/fallback ingest).
+- **`discover.py` wrongly flags 13 already-ingested papers as "dangling / not
+  ingested"** (their `cited_id` is an OpenAlex URL whose paper *is* in the corpus
+  via `openalex_id`). Meanwhile **`graph.py` correctly resolves 57 cross-citation
+  edges** via the `openalex_id` JOIN. The two "dangling" implementations
+  measurably disagree — exactly the C-1 divergence, now quantified.
+
+### M-1 — REFINED ⤵ (downgrade acute severity; structural finding stands)
+`paper_identifiers` **exists on the live DB with 39 rows** — the catastrophic
+"graph JOIN crashes with relation-does-not-exist" scenario **does not occur**;
+the table was applied (manually or via DB re-create). The *structural* gap stands:
+`apply_schema` is still non-idempotent and never invoked, so the **next** schema
+change has no migration path — but the acute "live graph is broken" framing was
+**over-stated**. Re-rank M-1 from HIGH → **MED** (latent migration debt, not an
+active outage).
+
+### C-2 — PARTIALLY REFUTED ⤵
+`paper_identifiers` has **39 rows vs ~35 papers-with-openalex_id**, so ~4 papers
+carry a diverging alias → the `pi` JOIN is **not** fully inert (it resolves a
+handful of cases the `p` JOIN can't). Keep as LOW/INFO: the table earns its keep
+for a few papers, though the cost/benefit at this corpus size is still marginal.
+
+### Net adjustment to the tally
+HIGH **8 → 7** (M-1 → MED). C-7 and C-1 are now **confirmed**, not inferred — they
+should lead remediation. The dominant root theme (**un-normalized identity**) is
+empirically validated: 35/36 ids in the "wrong" form, 13 papers mis-classified by
+the older code path, 57 edges rescued by the newer one.
