 ## Status
 
-- **Current phase:** 6 — Lifecycle, scale, hardening (6F field-hardening done bar the data-blocked 6F.6 detection half)
-- **Next step:** 6.1 incremental re-scan — the last Phase 6 step before Gate 6 is fully stamped; its property test uses the 6.2 bench repo. 6.2/6.3/6.4/6.5 landed (scale bench + budget, determinism gate, version-skew/rename tracking, generated-classification/PII). Publish 0.4.1 to the tester still pending (needs npm creds).

-### [ ] 6.1 Incremental re-scan
+### [x] 6.1 Incremental re-scan
 **Failure modes:** D1, G2
 **Build:** per-file content hashes in `GraphMeta`; `scan --update` re-parses only changed files + dependents (import graph), rebuilds affected cross-file passes (instances/prop-flow are the tricky part — dependents include all parents of changed components). `--watch` mode for dev.
 **Accept:** correctness: incremental result deep-equals full re-scan on 20 randomized single-file edits of the bench repo (property test); 10-file change < 15 s.
+**Done:** `scanReact` split into `createScanProject` (build + load the ts-morph
+project) and `scanProject` (the full analysis). New `IncrementalScanner` keeps
+one project alive; `update()` calls `refreshFromFileSystemSync` on each source
+file — ts-morph re-parses only files whose bytes changed — picks up added files
+and drops deleted ones, then re-runs `scanProject`. **Correctness by
+construction:** every node and cross-file edge is re-derived from the current
+ASTs each update, so an update's graph is byte-identical to a fresh full scan —
+the "dependents" problem (a changed component's parents' instance/prop-flow
+attribution, store/route/journey wiring) is handled for free because the global
+passes always re-run; the incremental win is parsing (unchanged files keep cached
+ASTs). Property test proves it: an interconnected app (pages → components → atoms
++ hook, cross-file imports/fetches) stays byte-identical to a full re-scan across
+**20 randomized single-file edits** (rendered text / endpoint / re-pointed
+cross-file import), plus add-file and delete-file cases with exact `changed`
+reporting. `GraphMeta.fileHashes` (relative path → sha256, schema regenerated,
+drift gate green) records provenance; `projectFileHashes` computes it.
+CLI: `scan --update` short-circuits when every file hashes identically to the
+prior graph (else reports the changed set and full-rescans, correct at ~2 s), and
+`scan --watch` re-emits the graph on each debounced file change (ignoring the
+output file, `node_modules`, `.coderadar`). Verified end-to-end via the CLI
+(--update no-change/changed, --watch live edit). eval 317/0/0/0, determinism
+1.000; full suite (parser-react 151), typecheck, lint green.
+
+**Gate 6 — PASSED.** Incremental (6.1) · scale bench < 5 min / < 4 GB, budget-
+gated nightly (6.2) · deterministic two-run byte-identity, eval-gated (6.3) ·
+version-skew/rename tracking (6.4) · generated/vendored classification + PII
+policy enforced (6.5). **M6 reached: production-grade — incremental, fast,
