Why: the task card is the primary record; the merged card had an empty results section.
Evidence: summaries reference the SELF rows above and GATE CI runs (backend #67, Dev run 975).
Impact: task metadata only, on the close branch.
Refs: .task/archive/feature-ext-5-host-parse.md
Why: branches merged into main had left their task cards open; backfill status and archive to prevent bookkeeping debt.
Evidence: feature-ext-5-host-parse.md(PR#222) — merges verified via git log --merges against origin/main.
Impact: .task/*.md moved to .task/archive/ with status backfilled; no code or submodule change.
