+# PR 11.67 Sample JSON Audit Closure
+
+## Scope
+Executed `BUILD_PR_LEVEL_11_67_FINAL_SAMPLE_JSON_AUDIT_CLOSURE` using `docs/dev/reports/sample_json_js_reference_audit.csv` as source of truth.
+
+## Baseline Audit
+Command:
+- `./scripts/PS/audit-sample-json-js-references.ps1`
+
+Counts:
+- JSON files scanned: `66`
+- Referenced: `66`
+- Missing reference: `0`
+
+Evidence:
+- `docs/dev/reports/pr_11_67_before_audit.txt`
+
+## Missing-Reference Review
+- Remaining missing-reference rows in CSV: `0`
+- Palette-related missing rows: `0`
+- Metadata/index-only stale references requiring removal: `0`
+
+Because no missing rows remained, no sample JSON reconstruction or JS reference rewiring changes were required in this closure pass.
+
+## Audit Output Behavior Check
+Default audit output is counts-only and does not print YES/NO detail lines unless `-Details` is provided.
+
+## Final Audit
+Command:
+- `./scripts/PS/audit-sample-json-js-references.ps1`
+
+Counts:
+- JSON files scanned: `66`
+- Referenced: `66`
+- Missing reference: `0`
+
+Evidence:
+- `docs/dev/reports/pr_11_67_after_audit.txt`
+
+## Validation
+Targeted validation only:
+1. PowerShell parse check
+   - `Parser::ParseFile('scripts/PS/audit-sample-json-js-references.ps1', ...)` -> PASS
+2. Default output mode check
+   - verified no `YES -`, `NO  -`, or `Missing references:` lines in default output -> PASS
+3. Full sample suite
+   - skipped (no runtime/loader/tool changes and explicitly out of scope)
+
+## Files Changed
+- `docs/dev/reports/pr_11_67_before_audit.txt`

+- `docs/dev/reports/PR_11_67_sample_json_audit_closure.md`

+# BUILD_PR_LEVEL_11_67_FINAL_SAMPLE_JSON_AUDIT_CLOSURE
+
+## Codex Task
+Execute the final sample JSON audit closure pass.
+
+## Steps
+1. Run:
+   ```powershell
+   .\scripts\PS\audit-sample-json-js-references.ps1
+   ```
+2. Record baseline counts in:
+   `docs/dev/reports/PR_11_67_sample_json_audit_closure.md`
+3. Read:
+   `docs/dev/reports/sample_json_js_reference_audit.csv`
+4. For each remaining missing-reference row:
+   - repair palette JSON when palette data can be derived from the matching sample JS file
+   - update sample JS to reference the generated/existing JSON using the repo's existing loader style
+   - remove stale metadata/index-only references when they are the only remaining reference
+   - document unresolved blockers instead of guessing
+5. Update the audit script output so once summary counts are printed, the detailed YES/NO list is not printed again by default.
+6. Re-run the audit.
+7. Record final counts and exact remaining blockers, if any.
+
+## Validation
+Run targeted validation only:
+- PowerShell syntax/parse check for the audit script
+- affected sample/tool smoke checks only when Codex can identify them from changed files
+- no full sample suite
+
+## Completion Rules
+The PR is complete only if:
+- before/after counts are recorded
+- missing reference count decreases or every remaining row is documented as a real blocker
+- no broad refactor was introduced
+- no hidden sample/default asset loading was introduced

+# PLAN_PR_LEVEL_11_67_FINAL_SAMPLE_JSON_AUDIT_CLOSURE
+
+## Purpose
+Close the remaining sample JSON audit gap after palette reconstruction and metadata-aware cleanup.
+
+## Scope
+- Use `docs/dev/reports/sample_json_js_reference_audit.csv` as the source of truth.
+- Resolve remaining `Missing reference` rows by making each case real, removed, or explicitly documented as a blocker.
+- Preserve controlled cleanup rules.
+- Include the counts-only audit output behavior requested by the user.
+
+## Required Behavior
+For every remaining missing JSON reference in the audit CSV:
+1. If the JSON file is palette-related and missing, generate it from colors already present in the matching sample JS file.
+2. If the JSON exists but is not detected as referenced, update the matching JS sample to reference the JSON through the existing sample loader pattern.
+3. If the only remaining reference is stale metadata/index data, remove the stale metadata/index entry with the JSON cleanup.
+4. If a row is ambiguous or shared, do not guess; document it in `docs/dev/reports/PR_11_67_blockers.md`.
+
+## Guardrails
+- Do not touch `sample 1902` unless the audit CSV proves it is required and the change is a metadata-only correction.
+- Do not delete `palette.json` blindly.
+- Do not delete `tile-map-editor-document.json`.
+- Do not introduce hidden defaults.
+- Do not add broad fallback data.
+- Do not refactor sample loaders or shared framework code.
+- Do not run the full samples suite.
+
+## Acceptance
+- Audit runs before and after.
+- Final report records before/after:
+  - JSON files scanned
+  - Referenced
+  - Missing reference
+- Missing reference count is reduced as much as safely possible.
+- Any non-zero remaining count is explained by exact file path and reason.
