Summary

Lockstep cleanup catching every remaining [Ff]allow positioning-yardstick reference after PR #58, PR #61, PR #62 landed. Final pass to make the repo's positioning posture self-consistent.

Audit findings

Searched [Ff]allow repo-wide; categorized each hit:

File Action Why
docs/why-codemap.md:23 ⚠️ Cleanup Same parenthetical PR #62 fixed; lockstep miss
docs/glossary.md:36 (audit def) ⚠️ Cleanup Singled out fallow audit as comparator
.agents/rules/docs-governance.md:36 ⚠️ Cleanup "fallow" as canonical adoption example was stale (fallow.md now closed)
.agents/skills/docs-governance/SKILL.md:86,88,136 ⚠️ Cleanup Same staleness; updated to reflect closed-precedent state
docs/why-codemap.md:110-121 (comparison table) ✅ Keep Different-product-classes consumer framing; not peer-yardstick
docs/research/fallow.md ✅ Keep Closed historical body (per PR #61)
docs/research/competitive-scan-2026-04.md ✅ Keep Historical scan
.agents/lessons.md:16 ✅ Keep Historical PR #58 lesson context
.agents/skills/audit-pr-architecture/SKILL.md (5 mentions) ✅ Keep Recommends fallow audit as a static-analysis tool (different product class); not positioning

What's cleaned

  • docs/why-codemap.md — drop fallow from the static-analyzer non-goal parenthetical → (e.g. knip, jscpd). Mirrors PR #62's roadmap.md fix per the doc-governance Single source of truth lockstep discipline.
  • docs/glossary.md — generalize audit definition from Distinct from fallow audit`` → Distinct from code-quality audit tools (e.g. knip for unused exports, jscpd for duplication, framework-specific complexity linters). Same product-class point; no peer yardstick.
  • .agents/rules/docs-governance.md — update Tier-2 priming rule's canonical example from fallow, future pluginsoxlint, future plugins + add closure-precedent note pointing at fallow.md's status header for the closed-research pattern.
  • .agents/skills/docs-governance/SKILL.md — same staleness fix on the deep reference; preserve fallow.md cross-ref as the closed precedent (closed-research-with-status-header pattern when peer framing goes off-mission). Re-derivable-test wording generalized from "fallow" → "static-analysis tooling".

Doc-governance compliance

  • Anchor preservation — checked rg "Rule [0-9]+" docs/ and rg "<doc-path>(#[a-z-]+)?" before slimming; no cited rule numbers / section anchors broken.
  • Single source of truth lockstep — non-goals canonical home is roadmap.md; why-codemap.md parenthetical was the lagging consumer-facing copy.
  • Closure-precedent shape preservedfallow.md cross-refs reframed to point at it as the closed precedent, not the ongoing tracker. Future doc-governance readers see the right pattern.

Test plan

  • bun run format:check passes on all 4 files
  • rg "[Ff]allow" . shows only legitimate (historical / different-product-class) references remain
  • All cross-refs to non-goals-reassessment-2026-05.md and fallow.md resolve
  • CodeRabbit review

Out of scope (intentional)

  • .agents/skills/audit-pr-architecture/SKILL.md references to bunx fallow audit — recommends fallow as a static-analysis tool (different product class), not a positioning peer. Could be genericized to "any static-analysis-on-PR tool" later if desired; not blocking.
  • docs/why-codemap.md comparison table — different-product-classes consumer framing remains valid under the cohort positioning ("agents can use Codemap AND fallow AND an LSP").

…remaining surfaces

Audit of remaining `[Ff]allow` references after PRs #58, #61, #62
landed found 4 surfaces still treating fallow as a positioning peer
(off-mission under the cohort framing locked in by PR #58):

CLEANED UP:

- docs/why-codemap.md:23 — non-goal parenthetical "(those are different
  products — e.g. fallow, knip, jscpd)" still elevated fallow as the
  primary static-analysis exemplar. Mirrors the PR #62 roadmap.md fix
  (lockstep per docs/README.md Single source of truth — non-goals
  canonical home is roadmap.md; consumer-facing framing in
  why-codemap.md must follow).
  Now: "(those are different products — e.g. knip, jscpd)".

- docs/glossary.md:36 (audit definition) — "Distinct from `fallow
  audit` (that runs code-quality verdicts...)" singled out fallow as
  the comparator. Generalized to "Distinct from code-quality audit
  tools (e.g. knip for unused exports, jscpd for duplication, framework-
  specific complexity linters)". Same product-class point; no peer
  yardstick.

- .agents/rules/docs-governance.md:36 — "(fallow, future plugins)" as
  the canonical example of repo-wide tool adoption was stale (fallow.md
  closed in PR #61). Updated to "(oxlint, future plugins)" + added a
  closure-precedent note pointing at fallow.md's status header and
  non-goals-reassessment-2026-05.md for current positioning.

- .agents/skills/docs-governance/SKILL.md:86,88,136 — same staleness:
  "fallow" as ongoing-tracker example was stale; "fallow audit" in the
  re-derivable test list. Updated to oxlint + generic "static-analysis
  tooling"; preserved the fallow.md cross-ref as the CLOSED precedent
  (research notes that close with status header when peer framing goes
  off-mission).

LEFT ALONE (legitimate):

- docs/why-codemap.md:110-121 (comparison table) — different-product-
  classes consumer framing (Codemap vs fallow vs Aider RepoMap vs LSP).
  Not a peer yardstick under the cohort positioning; "agents can use
  Codemap AND fallow AND LSP" framing is honest about distinct slots.

- docs/research/fallow.md (closed historical) — body preserved per
  PR #61.

- docs/research/competitive-scan-2026-04.md (closed historical scan).

- .agents/lessons.md:16 — "Never commit absolute local user paths"
  lesson with PR #58 historical context referencing the fallow clone
  path. Historical record; preserve.

- .agents/skills/audit-pr-architecture/SKILL.md (5 mentions) —
  recommends `bunx fallow audit` as a static-analysis TOOL during
  PR audits. Different-product-class tool recommendation, not
  positioning. Borderline; left alone for now (could be genericized
  later as a separate concern).

Net effect: every remaining `[Ff]allow` reference in the repo is
either historical (closed research, lessons) or a different-product-
class acknowledgement (consumer comparison table, static-analysis
tool usage). Zero peer-yardstick framing remains in the load-bearing
positioning surfaces.
