The template shipped scripts to back up, deploy, check health and read the
deployed version, and no document saying where errors go, what alerts, who
receives it, or what to run first when it is down. Grep across docs/** found
zero mentions of error tracking, observability or database restore.
Five sections. Where errors go, with the distinction that matters at 3am --
healthcheck.sh answers "is it up", error tracking answers "is it working", and a
service returning 500 to everything is up. What alerts and to whom, naming a
person rather than a channel nobody owns. Backups, whose last row is the date of
the last verified restore, because a backup nobody has restored is a guess.
Rate limits and cost ceilings, *(precautionary)*. And an ordered "it is down,
what now" where every step is a command that changes nothing.
Marked *(only for a deployed service)*, with the instruction to delete rather
than keep the headings unanswered: an empty runbook reads as one nobody wrote,
which is worse than one that never applied.
scaffold.sh now lays it down (17 files, 0 skipped) and DOC_TRUST_MAP.md points
at it from both tables. Two prose counts in scaffold.sh's header said
"thirteen documents" and were already stale; they no longer carry a number,
since a count in prose beside a list in code drifts the moment the list grows --
which is what just happened.

The basis for every project here was itself unversioned: no .git, no remote,
no history. Changes to it had no diff and no revert, and two of its own guards
could not run at all -- doc-claims.sh and doc-triggers.py both read git
history, so the script written to catch documentation drift could not be run
against the documents that define drift.
This is the tree as it stands, including work that until now existed only as
loose files on disk: WORK_CYCLE.md, TOOLS.md, the Portainer image-line fix in
deploy.py, the status vocabulary corrected to the four words the conformance
checker actually enforces, the Exempt: mechanism documented, and the Forgejo
instance named in README.md.
secrets.sh --tracked reports one candidate, migrate.sh:480. It is the comment
documenting the three Postgres credential shapes that script redacts, with
literal placeholders, and it is left alone deliberately: GUARDS.md section 2
is that a source-grep guard must tell code from the comment about code, and
deleting an explanation to quiet a scanner is the failure it names.
