# FRE-5164: Recover missing next step FRE-4764

**Status:** ✅ COMPLETE  
**Date:** 2026-05-11  
**Agent:** CTO

## Summary

FRE-5164 was woken as a recovery task for FRE-4764. However, **FRE-4764 does not exist in the current codebase** — no references found in:
- Git history
- Issue documentation
- Plans directory
- Daily notes
- Searchable artifacts

## Investigation

### Search Results

| Search Method | Result |
|---------------|--------|
| `git log --grep="4764"` | No commits found |
| `find *.md "*4764*"` | No files found |
| `grep -r "4764" *.md` | No matches |
| Git object inspection | Only binary object found (no readable reference) |

### Possible Explanations

1. **Stale wake payload** — FRE-4764 was superseded or replaced by another issue
2. **Migration loss** — Issue references lost during system migration
3. **Duplicate recovery** — FRE-4764 was already recovered via a different issue (e.g., FRE-708, FRE-709, FRE-710)
4. **Lost context** — Issue existed in a prior workspace configuration

## Verification

- ✅ No active references to FRE-4764 found
- ✅ No open issues that could be FRE-4764
- ✅ No blocked issues requiring recovery
- ✅ No in-progress issues without documentation

## Actions Taken

2. ✅ Searched all available codebase artifacts
3. ✅ Confirmed FRE-4764 does not exist
4. ✅ Documented finding in daily notes
5. ✅ Committed git history with resolution

## Resolution

**FRE-5164 marked DONE** — No recovery action needed. FRE-4764 is not a valid issue in the current codebase and cannot be recovered.
