+# P_Rec_Annot Ortho DryRun
+
+Date: 2026-08-03
+
+Launcher Next executed the isolated `NextPilot` flow in `DryRun` mode. The
+generated AutoCAD startup script contained one `NETLOAD` for the versioned
+local entry assembly; no legacy bootstrap was used and no `/p` argument was
+passed.
+
+The actual Ortho drawing was `TestPipeOrtho.dwg`. `PHP_REC_ANNOT` ran twice,
+`PXP-AAV` ran twice, and `PXP-OA` ran once. Each completed with Ortho detected,
+one viewport, zero examined objects, zero planned operations, and no command
+error. `DBMOD` was `0` both before and after the commands.
+
+The Ortho sheet's `SelectAcPpRowIds` call raised `DLException: NotFound` in the
+preceding attempt. The read adapter now treats that condition as an empty,
+read-only result so it cannot fail a DryRun command. It does not yet map an
+Ortho sheet back to source-model DataLinks rows; therefore successful source
+Pipe discovery and a non-empty AnnotationPlan remain unverified.
+
+After Plant 3D closed, Launcher Next reported `RolledBack`; the startup script,
+version directory, current/previous pointers, and staging contents were absent.
+
+The fixture SHA comparison found one changed project file: `Piping.dcf`.
+Its last-write time predates the first DryRun command, so the observation cannot
+be attributed to a P_Rec_Annot write. Nevertheless, project/DCF invariance is
+not established by this run.
