## Session Summary

Context-recovery session. The operator asked to bring back up the Dataforth shared-drives /
permissions plan that had been worked in a prior window. Located the project at
`clients/dataforth/docs/projects/shares-permissions/` and read the working state to brief
the operator on where things stand.

The two files touched most recently (2026-06-22 18:55, captured by the 18:54 auto-sync commit
86c789a) are the active deliverables: `target-structure-draft-2026-06-22.md` (internal Phase 2
strawman) and `Dataforth-Shared-Drives-Plan.html` (simplified client-facing render). Confirmed
nothing is uncommitted in `clients/dataforth/`.

Summarized the project for the operator: it moves Dataforth from "every share open to every
employee" (Everyone/Domain Users, Full on 4 of 8 shares — payroll/OSHA/POs/financials exposed,
post-2025 ransomware) to a least-privilege department-based AD security-group model with a
restricted branch, ABE on, excluding the DOS/datasheet/Sage infra shares. Phase 0 (discovery)
done; Phase 1 (client input) is the blocking gate; Phase 2 target design is drafted (today's
strawman) pending the client matrix. No file changes were made this session — read/brief only.

## Key Decisions

- No edits made — session was scoped to recovering and reporting state, not advancing the plan.
- Identified the three candidate next steps to offer the operator: polish the client-facing HTML,
  finalize/send the discovery email to unblock Phase 1, or refine the internal strawman.

## Problems Encountered

- None.

## Configuration Changes

- None. (This session log is the only file written.)

## Credentials & Secrets

- None surfaced or created.

## Infrastructure & Servers

Referenced from the plan (not modified): AD1, AD2, FILES-D1, SAGE-SQL file servers. Eight
business shares (c-drive/Q, sage/S, e-drive/T, sales/W, archive/Y, Engineering/B, plus itsvc,
webshare/X, test). App/infra shares excluded from the dept model: `test` (DOS/SMB1 guest),
`webshare` (preserve `svc_testdatadb`), `ITSvc`, Sage app paths, NETLOGON/SYSVOL.

## Commands & Outputs

- `git log --oneline -- clients/dataforth/docs/projects/shares-permissions/` → last commit
  86c789a (auto-sync 2026-06-22 18:54:25); prior 72e0e0a (2026-06-10).
- `git status --short clients/dataforth/` → clean.

## Pending / Incomplete Tasks

Phase 1 (client input) is BLOCKING. Still needed from Dataforth before Phase 2 sign-off:
1. Confirm the inferred department list.
2. Department -> share access matrix (RW/RO/none per area).
3. Sensitive-data named access (Payroll, OSHA, Purchase Orders, Accounting/Sage).
4. Department rosters (to populate AD groups).
5. Legacy-cleanup approval (person-named / "Do not use" folders archive vs delete).
6. Engineering destination volume — AD1 C: ~90% full, blocks any ENGR restructure.

Email logistics not locked: `discovery-email-draft.md` exists but recipients/sender unset
(Dan Center primary; CC Kevin Wackerly?; Mike or Howard sending?).

Next-step options offered to operator: (a) polish client-facing HTML, (b) finalize + send
discovery email to unblock Phase 1, (c) refine internal strawman.
