+## 2026-05-10 — Audit close: env-construction unify
+
+Architect drift review of diff `08abfdf..e414144` found three
+low-medium items. Bench gates 0/0/0; rustdoc 16→15 warnings (one
+removed by the milestone, none added); E2E coverage map produced
+by tester confirmed existing 345-test suite + pin tripwire pin
+every named invariant.
+
+Resolution:
+
+- `[medium]` Stale doc comment on `Env::module_imports`
+  (`crates/ailang-check/src/lib.rs:2508-2516`) said "populated only
+  by `mono::build_workspace_env`" and "`check_in_workspace` does
+  not populate this." Both clauses contradicted the post-unify
+  shape. Fixed inline as part of audit close (one-line
+  doc tidy). Same drift on `Env::module_globals` (line 2506)
+  fixed for consistency.
+- `[low]` Pin test docstring
+  (`crates/ailang-check/tests/env_construction_pin.rs:26-30`)
+  claimed it reproduced "the pre-refactor `check_in_workspace`
+  workspace-flat seeding," but pre-refactor `check_in_workspace`
+  seeded `types`/`ctor_index` per-module, not workspace-flat. The
+  test still pins `build_check_env` against an independent
+  reproduction (its real value); the comment misnamed what was
+  pinned. Fixed inline.
+- `[medium, queued]` `env.types.clear()` / `env.ctor_index.clear()`
+  immediately after `build_check_env` populates them
+  (`lib.rs:1187-1188`) is the visible scar of a deeper shape
+  mismatch: `types`/`ctor_index` are *per-module overlay* for
+  typecheck (`Pattern::Ctor`'s local-first / imports-fallback
+  resolution at lib.rs:2314-2316) but *workspace-flat* for the
+  mono pass. One field, two shapes. Not a fire (the wasteful
+  copy is small and bench gates are clean), but worth queuing
+  as a follow-up shape question for whichever iteration next
+  feels env-field pressure. Marker: "types/ctor_index overlay
+  shape" in the JOURNAL queue.
+
+Milestone closed: drift items 1 and 3 tidied; item 2 queued.
