KB audit and scoped maintenance pass (2026-06-25)

Grok read the full llm-knowledge-base vault and Astro site, then Wedge scoped five fixes from the audit. This entry records the findings; only the scoped items were executed today.

Verdict

The intellectual core is publication-quality — learning/encoding doctrine, the Chinese character cluster, agentic engineering framing, and High-Signal Writing Standards are the real product. The main gap is operational: metadata never graduates, sources are sparse on wiki pages, links rot on the published site, and the Astro replatform is ~85% through the Living Atlas vision.

Measured state (2026-06-25)

Signal	Count
Published notes	335
Wiki pages	255
Raw markdown (compilation backlog)	~747
status: developing wiki pages	91
status: mature wiki pages	0
Wiki pages with ## Sources	76 / 255 (~30%)
Broken internal links (links-report.json)	103
Files flagged in audit.json	226

Findings — content

Strengths. Condensed doctrine pages work (Learning, Condensed, Chinese Characters cluster, BHS/SIR loop). Journal as public lab notebook works. Money and Red Team clusters exist but are thin vs learning.

Metadata debt. AGENTS.md defines seed / mature / needs-review and requires Sources sections. Almost nothing has graduated. The wiki reads as a high-quality draft corpus, not a compiled artifact.

Compilation funnel. ~747 files in raw/ vs 255 wiki pages. The funnel is backed up, not broken — but ingest priority matters more than new stubs.

Stale surfaces. 02 - System/Open Questions.md (2026-05-07) superseded by journal openQuestions and home “Top of mind.” notes/index.md Full Catalog was hand-maintained and drift-prone. wiki/Experiences/Experiences.md duplicates its Philosophy section.

Thin clusters. Techniques (2 pages), Books (3), Experiences (2), Resources (2). Home “Health” hub points at Self-Management with no dedicated health cluster.

Findings — site (Astro)

Done well. Intent doors, constellation graph, domain chips, Note layout (TOC / backlinks / local graph), Paper & Ink design system.

Not ported from Atlas PRDs. H5 ledger strip (tools/ledger.mjs still writes to quartz/components/), ⌘K search palette built but not mounted, TEMP flavors-preview.css in production Base.astro, PRD docs still reference Quartz.

UX gaps. Mobile Chrome hides search below 720px. Note page width (1080px) vs global content width (880px). /notes constellation at 340–580px pushes catalog below fold.

Condensed page pattern — backlog (not executed today)

Five condensed pages exist and work: Learning, Chinese Characters, Agentic Engineering, Money, Minimalism. The pattern is one rule per line, each linking to its owner page — doctrine, not summary.

Candidates for the next condensed passes:

Condensed page	Source cluster	Why
Red Team, Condensed	4 pages + journal essays	Adversarial thinking is load-bearing; fits personal identity
Decision Making, Condensed	8 pages, hub exists	Positional decisions + choice throttling are already doctrine-shaped
Language Learning, Condensed	28 pages under wiki/Language/	Refold pillars spread across many pages; one entry point would help visitors
Focus & Attention, Condensed	Self Management + curvilinear design concepts	Home routes here; cluster is scattered

Bar: same as existing condensed pages — thesis paragraph, numbered doctrine sections, one link per line, no stubs.

Other backlog (not executed today)

1. Metadata promotion sprint — 20 anchor pages to mature + Sources on dimension hubs
2. H5 ledger strip on home
3. Remove TEMP palette CSS; decide dark-mode default
4. Mobile search (icon → palette)
5. Tsumugu ↔ wiki bridge synthesis page
6. Journal/index trim policy → executed today (8–12 recent entries)
7. ⌘K SearchPalette → executed today
8. Link repair pass → executed today
9. Notes index auto-catalog → executed today

Executed today

• Trimmed journal/index.md Recent entries to 10 (calendar holds the archive).
• Mounted SearchPalette globally in Base.astro (⌘K / Ctrl+K).
• Link repair pass on published paths: wiki→wiki fixes, full raw/sources/ paths for source citations, ambiguous basename resolution, private/template/log links corrected or plain-texted where no published target exists.
• Added scripts/update-notes-catalog.mjs — regenerates notes/index.md Full Catalog from frontmatter on prebuild; Hubs & Condensed section stays hand-curated.

Success criteria for this pass

• journal/index.md shows ≤12 recent entries; older entries reachable via calendar.
• ⌘K opens search on every page after build.
• Published wiki pages have zero new broken internal links vs pre-pass baseline (raw/private/template targets excluded from site render by design).
• npm run prebuild regenerates Full Catalog tables without changing notes.astro layout.
