+# VDE-044: VDE update build failure (auto-detected)
+
+- **ID**: VDE-044
+- **Date**: 2026-07-29
+- **Status**: Closed (Cannot Reproduce)
+- **Severity**: Critical
+- **Category**: BUILD
+- **Source**: vde_auto_sync.ps1
+
+## Trigger
+- **From**: `a70dad95c3d4d1236f0682c29cd751f70222a16f`
+- **To**: `fcf0cfd`
+- **New commits**:
+  - fcf0cfd fix(feedback): close VDE-043 — VDE build clean, cannot reproduce
+  - 278aa28 docs(feedback): auto-detected VDE-043 -- VDE update build failure
+
+## Build Errors
+```
+
+```
+
+Full log: ViewDesign `build/vde_build_errors.txt`
+
+## Resolution
+
+**Date**: 2026-07-29
+**Outcome**: Cannot Reproduce
+
+VDE build (`build/` with Make) completed with 100% of targets and zero errors.
+The ViewDesign `build/vde_build_errors.txt` log file referenced in the auto-detection
+event does not exist in the VDE repository, and the auto-detection captured no build
+errors. The VDE project compiles cleanly on this commit.
