 - Added `scripts/audit_operator_yolo_dataset_quality.py`, an operator-only YOLO tile dataset quality audit that produces JSON and Markdown reports for sample coverage, split coverage, repeated hard-negative pressure and label-size integrity before further training runs.
 - Added pytest coverage and readiness syntax checking for the new operator YOLO dataset audit script.
+- Recorded live Tower audit results showing `yolo-building-tile-expanded160` as the clean current baseline and r4/r8 hard-negative datasets as repeat-heavy evidence sets that need more unique background AOIs before further hard-negative training.
