description: DSCA33/45 "lost spec files" are recoverable from the Hoffman API (original certs survived the wipe) — do NOT request spec files from John; mine templates from Hoffman instead
metadata:
  type: project
---

The DSCA33/DSCA45 main spec files lost in Dataforth's cryptolocker wipe (which blocked rendering
~8,763 certs and prompted "ask John for the spec files") are **recoverable** — the original software
published correct DSCA33/45 certs to the **Hoffman API** before the wipe, and our null-skipping
pipeline never overwrote them. **Do not ask John for spec files.** Supersedes the FIX2-5 handoff's
TODO 2 and the `ad2`-branch memory `project_dsca33_45_spec_gap` (which says "blocked, need John").

Mined **56 of 58 models** straight from Hoffman into `projects/dataforth-dos/dsca33-45-templates.json`
(per model: `accOut`, verbatim 2-line `accHeader`, Final-Test `rows` of name+spec, and a known-good
`_srcSerial`). Only 2 niche models have no original anywhere: **DSCA33-1948 (16u)**, **DSCA45-1746 (8u)**.
Coverage: ~7,157 units already correct + live on Hoffman (no action); ~1,580 not-yet-uploaded units
need rendering from the mined templates + AD2's already-derived slotMaps.

AD2 handoff + the critical gate: `projects/dataforth-dos/DSCA33-45-HOFFMAN-RECOVERY-2026-06-18.md`.
**Critical:** validate each model's render byte-for-byte against its Hoffman original BEFORE enabling
live DSCA33/45 rendering — once the renderer returns non-null, the pipeline stops skipping these and
will re-push/UPDATE the 7,157 good originals on the next cycle (safe only if the render matches).

Hoffman read API: `GET https://www.dataforth.com/api/v1/TestReportDataFiles/{serial}` (returns
`{SerialNumber,Content,CreatedAtUtc,UpdatedAtUtc}`); creds vault `clients/dataforth/hoffman-product-api`.
