1 pages render no header. Likely bespoke (policy / contact / sitemap / homepage hero) — Phase 5 will hand-patch.

Zero drift. Every page with a header matches the canonical. If this state holds after a daily-cron run for ~2 weeks, the audit can drop to weekly cadence.
1 pages have no header at all. Phase 5 hand-patch decides which of these deserve one (article-like pages: yes; homepage/policy/contact: probably no).

Re-run after every edit to templates/_header.html to confirm the canonical block parses to a clean fingerprint.
Re-run after every dare_header_patch.py --execute to confirm drift dropped to zero.

Add to daily cron alongside dare_404_audit.py once Phase 6 shows variant-A-only.
For dogwood / audrey rollouts, copy this script + the templates directory pattern; only --repo and --template paths change.

Drift is invisible until you fingerprint it. The substrate is the diff.
