[Wave 4F] Branding Agent: Remediation & Validation

[ashleyshaw]

Summary

Apply the unified branding agent to all Markdown files in the repository. Fix broken, duplicate, or missing footers, headers, and badges. Validate all outputs against the schema from Wave 4D and ensure consistency with category-based rules.

Related Issues

Parent planning:

• [AI Ops] Spec and implementation plan for unified branding agent (headers, footers, badges) #33 — Unified branding agent specification
• [AI Ops] Design footer/header/badge templates for unified branding agent #46 — Footer/header/badge template design

Upstream work:

• #[4C] — Current-state audit (remediation recommendations)
• #[4D] — Schema & config implementation
• #[4E] — Unified branding agent

Execution sequence:

• Previous: #[4E] (agent implementation)
• Current issue: 4F (remediation & validation)
• Final: Schema compliance across repository ✅

Objectives

• Apply the unified branding agent to all .md files
• Fix all duplicate, broken, or missing footers/headers/badges
• Validate 100% of outputs against the schema
• Ensure consistency with category-based rules from [AI Ops] Spec and implementation plan for unified branding agent (headers, footers, badges) #33/[AI Ops] Design footer/header/badge templates for unified branding agent #46
• Provide validation report and remediation summary

Scope

In Scope

• Applying the branding agent to all .md files
• Fixing duplicates and inconsistent patterns from Wave 4C audit
• Adding missing footers/headers where expected by category
• Validating all outputs against schema
• Updating frontmatter categories where needed
• Creating validation/remediation report

Out of Scope

• Further schema changes (Wave 4D is final)
• Agent implementation changes (Wave 4E is final)
• Non-Markdown branding logic

Deliverables

1. Remediated .md Files

   • All files with fixed, category-appropriate footers/headers/badges
   • Frontmatter updated where categories were missing or incorrect
   • 100% schema validation passing
   • No duplicate or malformed patterns

2. Remediation Report (remediation-report.md)

   • Summary of changes by priority tier
   • Files remediated by category
   • Common patterns fixed
   • Before/after examples
   • Validation results

3. Validation Report (validation-report.md)

   • Schema compliance metrics
   • All files passing validation
   • Any fallback rules applied
   • Category distribution post-remediation

4. Frontmatter Audit (if needed)

   • Files needing category frontmatter additions
   • Path-based category inference accuracy
   • Fallback rules applied

Acceptance Criteria

• All .md files scanned for branding compliance
• All duplicate footers removed or consolidated
• All missing footers added based on category
• All malformed patterns fixed
• 100% of files validate against schema
• Frontmatter categories are accurate or path-inferred correctly
• Remediation report documents all changes with before/after examples
• Validation report confirms zero schema violations
• No breaking changes to existing content
• Category distribution aligns with taxonomy from [AI Ops] Spec and implementation plan for unified branding agent (headers, footers, badges) #33

Definition of Done

• Audit report from #[4C] reviewed for guidance
• All remediation recommendations addressed
• Schema validation passes for 100% of files
• Remediation and validation reports generated
• PR submitted with all fixed .md files
