Sync ghost entries are records that live on in a local database after the original item was deleted — or never existed — on the platform. The ledger says yes; the source of truth says no.
One-way sync only adds. If the collector never re-reads the platform and diffs in both directions, a deletion on the platform side has no way to reach the local store. Ghosts then inflate counts in exactly the way missed items deflate them — the two partially cancel, so totals look plausible.
In an ID-level audit of 763 rows against 21 platforms, at least 173 rows were ghosts — including 42 instruction rows whose source paths had never existed on the machine at all.
