Third hand-maintained table naming model ids and the only one outside the retired-model gate — extending `check-model-lifecycle.mjs` to cover it is the durable fix, and the three retired rows it flushed out were already dead code behind the 410 `model_shutdown` answer.

Validated in one consolidated worktree cut from `release/v3.8.51`, boarded with the rest of this batch — zero conflicts between the 19 PRs.
- `typecheck:core` clean; `check:dashboard-typecheck` OK (206 pre-existing, all within the frozen baseline); `check:changelog-integrity` OK
- complexity 2802 / baseline 3218 and cognitive-complexity 1267 / baseline 1437 — both under baseline
- 226 of 228 focused assertions green across the batch's 23 test files. The 2 remaining belong to #12551, which is held separately.
Two batch-owned defects were found and fixed in flight, both pure base drift: `173_xp_action_counts.sql` collided with `173_call_logs_video_content_removed.sql` (renumbered to 176 on #12651 — it aborted every DB open, which is what 53 of the first run's failures were), and the feature-flag catalog was missing the `SERVER_OWNED_TOOL_LOOP_ENABLED` row the base gained after #12552 was written.
⚠️ base-red inherited: #12732 — `Docs Gates`, `Merge integrity`, `No new ESLint warnings`, `Unit Tests fast-path` and `Fast Quality Gates` reproduce on the pure tip (provider count 356 vs the 358 the modules define, SKILL.md drift, and `open-sse/utils/stream.ts` at 3115 > frozen 3098, which this batch does not touch).
Thanks @pacocartones — the `file:line` citations and the explicit out-of-scope notes on every one of these made a 19-PR batch reviewable in one pass.
Validated in a combined 4-PR batch worktree off release/v3.8.51 tip. This PR's diff overlapped taskFitness.ts and autoCombo.test.ts with the already-merged #11492/#11506 — git's merge auto-resolved both hunks cleanly (non-overlapping layers: #11492/#11506 touch layer 2 arena lookup, this PR touches layer 4 static-table hygiene); verified no conflict markers remained and re-ran the full suite after boarding.
- npm run check:model-lifecycle — PASS, 68 retired ids, 1327 catalog ids, 0 violations (re-ran with the correct `node --import tsx/esm` loader after an initial bare-node invocation mistakenly failed on path-alias resolution — that was my invocation error, not the gate)
- Focused tests: fitness-table-hygiene-11503.test.ts, taskFitness-pattern-order-8603.test.ts, model-deprecation-aliases-11503.test.ts, check-model-lifecycle-gate.test.ts, model-deprecation.test.ts, autoCombo.test.ts — part of batch's 126/126 vitest + 246/246 node:test runs
- typecheck:core, file-size, changelog-integrity, complexity, cognitive-complexity, check:cycles — all OK
- Full-repo lint: 228 problems remaining, all pre-existing dashboard react-hooks/* findings unrelated to this diff (zero errors in any file this PR touches)
Thanks for this — genuinely thorough methodology (segment-boundary matching, provider-scoped alias guard, offline lifecycle gate with a documented burn-down list for the 6 remaining catalog offenders).
