Scope

Validated the May 5, 2026 UPS staging manifest against the older UPS PDF repositories under V:\z-UPS Flight 2976 Cases.

Result

This was a read-only pass. No files were moved, renamed, deleted, or converted.

The older UPS PDF project exists, but it was not completed in the later copy-back model. Same-name sibling PDFs beside the original email paths: 0 of 1863.

Key findings

A major source of ambiguity is duplicate naming inside the old PDF repositories. Example: the Original502 PDF lanes each contain 708 PDFs but only 326 distinct normalized topic keys.

Artifacts

Recommended next lane

If UPS needs to be fully finished, work the unresolved rows in this order: Extracted_Attachments, then Investigation Response Folder, then the small EMAILS Root residuals.
