Summary

  • Adds docs/audits/2026-05-26-estate-proof-debt.md — estate-wide proof-debt audit covering 283 repos.
  • Surfaces top offenders (ephapax, absolute-zero, maa-framework, hypatia, echidna, betlang, proven, standards itself) with file-line evidence.
  • Proposes a trusted-base reduction policy reusing the boj-server backend-assurance harness pattern.

Coverage caveat

Syntactic, not semantic — cannot tell funExt postulates apart from genuine debt. Per-repo PRs ask maintainers to classify.

Companion PRs

  • docs/audits/2026-05-26-estate-licence-debt.md (separate PR)
  • docs/audits/2026-05-26-estate-documentation-debt.md (separate PR)
  • Per-repo docs/tech-debt-2026-05-26.md PRs to follow

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Cross-cutting audit covering every active proof-bearing repo across the
estate (~283 repos scanned). Filters out archives/vendored mirrors,
classifies the remaining proof debt by language and pattern, and proposes
a discharge schedule for the top offenders.

Companion files (to be filed as separate narrow PRs):
- docs/audits/2026-05-26-estate-licence-debt.md
- docs/audits/2026-05-26-estate-documentation-debt.md

Per-repo PRs (adding docs/tech-debt-2026-05-26.md) will follow for each
repo with non-OK severity in any of the three categories.

## Summary
- Adds `docs/tech-debt-2026-05-26.md` with this repo's findings from the
estate-wide tech-debt scan.
- Covers proof debt, licence debt, documentation debt — with per-section
severity.

## What this PR does NOT do
This file records findings. It does not close the debt. Each section has
a "Recommended next move" line; closing the debt is follow-up work.

## Summary

Estate-wide audit doc for the workflow convergence campaign just
completed (5 reusable-extraction PRs, methodology gotcha discovery,
parallel-session reconciliation).

- 4 reusables already filed: #187 (mirror), #190 (secret-scanner), #192
(codeql), #193 (hypatia-scan)
- Classifier tooling shipped: #194
- Scorecard-reusable recommended as #195 (cleanest sweep target — zero
nested copies, 38.8% top-SHA dominance, 100% mechanical drift)

## Key findings documented

1. **Nested-path methodology gotcha** (3-layer):
- `path:.github/workflows` filter excludes nested workflows (mirror
+133, secret-scanner +282, codeql +518 verified per-repo, hypatia-scan
+449)
- Even broad `filename:` queries are org-scope-truncated; per-repo
recursive-tree queries are the only reliable source of truth
- **Nested workflows do NOT execute** — GitHub Actions only runs
`.github/workflows/` at the repo root. Nested copies are inert vendored
templates or stale leftover, not active deployments

2. **Corrected estate counts** (top-level + nested true totals):
   - hypatia-scan: 704 wrapper sites (×416 LOC ≈ 280k retired)
- codeql: ~781 wrapper sites (×41 LOC ≈ 32k retired — 3× original
estimate)
   - secret-scanner: 563 wrapper sites
   - mirror: 422 wrapper sites
   - scorecard: 258 (no nesting)

3. **Parallel-session ranking divergence** root-caused — sample-drift
methodology missed homogeneity findings for secret-scanner / codeql /
scorecard.

## Test plan

- [ ] Validate cross-refs render (`/.claude/CLAUDE.md`, sibling audit
docs)
- [ ] No breakage — additive doc only

## Standing follow-ups (documented in body)

1. Owner-review the 5 open campaign PRs
2. File #195 (scorecard-reusable) to close the set
3. Extend classifiers in #194 to emit per-(repo, path) tuples for
nested-copy sweeps
4. Wrapper sweep firing remains owner-gated per template
