+### Template Issue Summary
+
+The Templates and Issues & Warnings pages use `/api/templates/status`. A
+template is shown as `Clean` only when all of these are empty:
+
+- validation `blockers`
+- validation `warnings`
+- composition `field_issues`
+
+On the web server, migration downloads are temporary. If no persistent
+`downloads/` folder exists for re-analysis, `/api/templates/status` falls back
+to the current browser session's `migration-output/.history.json` records so
+field issues discovered during migration still appear in the Templates summary.
