3. Result

Closed unstarted. The premise was wrong. The directory-level round trip is the only way to drive the whole import and export pipeline over the real ORE corpus in one pass, and round-trip coverage that reads external/ore/examples is wanted. Retiring it would have removed that capability rather than replaced it.

The work moves to Cover the ORE directory round trip with a test over external/ore data, which gives the method a caller and a fidelity assertion instead of deleting it.
