Hi!

Replacing some shingles and rotted plywood on my exterior.

Found this (see pics) underneath. Looks like it might be old termite damage on the rim joist(?) as there were no live insects or fresh sawdust. I hit the wood with a hammer and other than the surface, it seems rather solid.

What are my options? Repair, cover it up for now and forget about it (we are considering demoing this part of the house and building a larger room in the near future)?
