-## Outstanding — a DEPLOY action (not code)
-The `fxhnt-opra-backfill` CronJob **manifest** is removed from git, but if it exists as a live resource on the
-bizworx Kapsule it must be deleted by hand: `kubectl delete cronjob fxhnt-opra-backfill` (ns foxhunt). The git
-removal does not stop a running cluster resource.
+## CronJob cluster-resource — VERIFIED not present (no action needed)
+Checked 2026-07-21 on `bizworx-prod-kapsule`: `kubectl get cronjob fxhnt-opra-backfill -n foxhunt` → NotFound,
+0 hits cluster-wide. The manifest was never applied live (or already gone), so removing it from git was
+sufficient. The 5 surviving foxhunt CronJobs (ucits/bybit/ibkr rebalancers, ucits-volume, factory) are all
+non-VRP.
