From 7cf8e87951a5d259eff65693beae13035f72195b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: hyperpolymath <6759885+hyperpolymath@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 26 May 2026 19:03:16 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?docs(audits):=202026-05-26=20estate=20tech-debt?= =?UTF-8?q?=20audit=20chain=20=E2=80=94=20closeout?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Final closeout document for the 2026-05-26 estate tech-debt audit chain that began with standards#195/#196/#197 and culminated in ~460 PRs across the estate. Adds two artefacts: - docs/audits/2026-05-26-tech-debt-chain-complete.md (human-readable) - .machine_readable/audits/2026-05-26-tech-debt-chain-complete.a2ml (machine-readable session manifest) The closeout enumerates every PR filed in the chain (cross-cutting + MPL-2.0 migration + proof-debt seeds + CRITICAL closures + Row-2 Phase 1 README expansions + Row-2 Phase 2 docs-template adoptions + Row-2 Phase 3 CHANGELOG seeds), documents the methodology, captures the lessons, and lists the few items outstanding for owner decision (e.g. 007's proprietary-vs-MPL ambiguity). Outstanding (post-chain): - Owner: rotate Cloudflare token (separate memory item). - Owner: 007 proprietary-vs-MPL decision. - Maintainer triage: docs/proof-debt.md §(d) entries in the P0/P1 repos at their own pace.

Pivoted to push-only mode for ~5 queued PRs; resumed PR creation ~20 minutes later via a probe-and-restart pattern. +- Lesson: documented in the same memory entry, with the probe-via-issue-create recovery pattern. + +### Patterns reused across all phases +- GPG-signed commits with `-c user.email=` (else GH007 rejection on push). +- `git worktree` for parallel branches without disturbing the live working dir. +- Resumable scripts with `gh pr list --head ` idempotency check. +- Auto-merge enabled on every PR per estate policy. + +--- + +## What's NOT done + +Despite the chain's breadth, some follow-ups remain visible: + +- `007`'s proprietary-vs-manifest contradiction (HIGH-policy) needs an owner decision (estate-default MPL-2.0 vs explicit proprietary marker). Not actionable without that decision. +- Each `docs/proof-debt.md` started entries in §(d) DEBT; the maintainer must triage each into §(a) / §(b) / §(c) over time. +- The 162 CHANGELOG seeds are initial drafts; ongoing auto-regeneration requires per-repo adoption of `changelog-reusable.yml` (separate one-line wrapper per repo). +- 4 CRITICAL no-LICENSE repos are terminally unreachable (no GH remote / archived) — `ai-cli-lab`, `ephapax-wiki`, `HOL`, `repos-monorepo`.
