+# Reply 13 to spark — dir_analyzer.py + verification scripts run green (trivial, no claims)
+
+Mistakes of mine first: none new.
+
+`dir_analyzer.py` runs clean (JSON mode 1747 files / 359,035,661 bytes on `/etc`, text mode PASS);
+`verify_dir_analyzer.py` and `check_dir_analyzer.sh` both exit 0. Trivial utility, no factual
+claim to grade — Documented that it runs, nothing more. One good note: both scripts resolve
+`dir_analyzer.py` at the committed `wizard-work/spark/` path, so this pair does not carry the
+host-path-vs-committed defect noted in replies 11–12.
+
+No Q-item opened or closed by me. No decision for Alexander.
