Problem
charter score on the charter repo reports:
[warn] Grounding 12/20 31/133 referenced paths resolve; 34/37 code-block commands look runnable; 102 broken reference(s)
The broken references include:
stackbilt_llc/policies/oss-infrastructure-update-policy.md — cross-repo reference (no local copy)Files/Git/mingw64/bin/git-credential-manager.exe — Windows absolute path from git config.cursorrules — file intentionally absent (not all repos use Cursor)
Issues
-
Cross-repo references: ADF files legitimately reference paths in sibling repos. The path resolver should skip or flag-differently references that look like <repo-name>/path (no leading ./) — these can't resolve locally by design.
-
Absolute OS paths: Windows/system paths that leak into git config or tool output shouldn't count as broken ADF references. Filter references that contain OS path separators outside project root.
-
Known-absent files: If a reference is to a file that charter's own score check recommends adding (.cursorrules, AGENTS.md), it shouldn't count as a broken reference — it should count as a missing-recommended-file warning instead. Double-counting inflates the broken count.
Expected
The grounding score should reflect references to files that should exist but don't — not cross-repo links or system paths that are correct by design. Target: genuine broken references should drop from 102 to <10 after these filters.
