## Hardest Classification (5 Issues)
- **#871 vs #983** (both claim to close #511) — Both address energy constraints epic; #871 fixes path, #983 rebalances parameters; both retained in open state as complementary work.
- **#864 vs #927** (duplicate fix #534) — Two fixes for Evennia config; kept #864 as currently tracked; #927 will be reviewed post‑sweep.
- **#882 spec vs open #961 impl** — MATH‑006 spec retained despite implementation PR open; both needed for verification.
- **#959** (LAB‑001) — No evidence of completion; future work.
- **#997** (tests import fix) — CI health fix kept open.

## Methodology
Scanned all 100 open issues in `timmy-home`. Closure candidates were selected based on one of: implementation already present on `main` branch (verified by file presence or body language), test/demo artifacts, or completed scoping actions. All other issues were explicitly **preserved** with a reason comment posted to each.
