## Conclusion

Hornsby is a **Ghost Job Variant A** — folder was promoted to Ongoing but OpsMan never captured any site data. The job is contractually active (day 18) but financially invisible. Every EOD summary will show blank hours, no photos, no dockets until either:
1. Rocky confirms Hornsby is not active / is on hold, OR
2. Rocky's crew actually starts on it and captures begin

**Pattern holds:** All-ghost jobs have `status: ongoing`, `start_date` in the past, and absolutely zero rows in all registers.

## EOD output generated

Telegram EOD flagged:
- 🔴 CRITICAL: Docket missing (dayworks/hybrid — no signed docket = no invoice line)
- Hours today: none logged
- Photos: none
- Materials: none
- Action required: Rocky must confirm if Hornsby ran today; if yes, get signed docket immediately

This is the state the skill predicts for ghost jobs. The prediction was correct.
