## Role

Re-scan codebase, sync external connectors, detect graph anomalies, maintain graph freshness

## Skills

- harness-dependency-health
- harness-knowledge-mapper
- validate-context-engineering

## Steps

1. Run `harness scan` (always)
2. Run `harness ingest` (always)
3. Run `harness graph status` (always)

## Methodology

# Harness Dependency Health

> Analyze structural health of the codebase and surface problems before they become incidents.

## When to Use

- Weekly scheduled health check on the codebase
- Before major refactoring — understand current structural health
- When onboarding to a new project — assess codebase quality
- NOT for checking layer violations (use enforce-architecture)
- NOT for finding dead code (use cleanup-dead-code)

## Prerequisites

A knowledge graph at `.harness/graph/` enables full analysis. If no graph exists,
the skill uses static analysis fallbacks (see Graph Availability section).
Run `harness scan` to enable graph-enhanced analysis.

### Graph Availability

Before starting, check if `.harness/graph/graph.json` exists.

**If graph exists:** Check staleness — compare `.harness/graph/metadata.json`
scanTimestamp against `git log -1 --format=%ct` (latest commit timestamp).
If graph is more than 2 commits behind (`git log --oneline <scanTimestamp>..HEAD | wc -l`),
run `harness scan` to refresh before proceeding. (Staleness sensitivity: **High**)

**If graph exists and is fresh (or refreshed):** Use graph tools as primary strategy.

**If no graph exists:** Output "Running without graph (run `harness scan` to
enable full analysis)" and use fallback strategies for all subsequent steps.

## Process

### Phase 1: METRICS — Compute Graph Structural Metrics

Query the graph for five key structural indicators:

1. **Hub detection**: Find nodes with high fan-in (>10 inbound `imports` edges).

   ```
   query_graph(rootNodeIds=[all file nodes], includeEdges=["imports"])
   ```

   Hubs are single points of failure — changes to them have outsized blast radius.

2. **Orphan detection**: Find file nodes with zero inbound `imports` edges that are not entry points.

   ```
   get_relationships(nodeId=<file>, direction="inbound")
   ```

   Orphans may be dead code or missing from the module system.

3. **Cycle detection**: Use `check_dependencies` to find circular import chains.
   Cycles create fragile coupling — any change in the cycle affects all members.

4. **Deep chain detection**: Find import chains longer than N hops (default: 7).

   ```
   query_graph(rootNodeIds=[entry points], maxDepth=10, includeEdges=["imports"])
   ```

   Deep chains are fragile — a change at the bottom propagates unpredictably.

5. **Module cohesion**: For each module (directory), count internal vs external edges. Low internal cohesion (many external edges, few internal) suggests misplaced code.

#### Fallback (without graph)

When no graph is available, use static analysis to approximate structural metrics:

1. **Build adjacency list**: Grep all source files for `import`/`require` statements. Parse each to extract the imported path. Build an adjacency list mapping each file to its imports.
2. **Hub detection**: From the adjacency list, count inbound edges per file. Files with >10 importers are hubs.
3. **Orphan detection**: Files with zero inbound edges that are not entry points (not `index.*`, not in `package.json` main/exports). Use glob to find all source files, then subtract those that appear as import targets.
4. **Cycle detection**: Run DFS on the adjacency list. When a back-edge is found, report the cycle path.
5. **Deep chain detection**: From entry points, DFS to find the longest import chain. Report chains exceeding 7 hops.
6. **Module cohesion (approximate)**: For each directory, count imports that stay within the directory (internal) vs imports that leave it (external). Cohesion = internal / (internal + external).
7. **Run `check_dependencies` CLI** — this works without a graph and can detect layer violations.

> Fallback completeness: ~60% — cannot compute transitive depth beyond what import parsing reveals; coupling metrics are approximate.

6. **Detect structural anomalies**: Run `detect_anomalies` to identify structural irregularities (orphaned modules, unusual coupling patterns) that indicate dependency health issues.

### Phase 2: SCORE — Calculate Health Score

Compute a weighted health score (0-100):

| Metric            | Weight | Scoring                                   |
| ----------------- | ------ | ----------------------------------------- |
| Hubs (>10 fan-in) | 25%    | 0 hubs = 100, 1-3 = 70, 4-6 = 40, >6 = 10 |
| Orphans           | 20%    | 0 = 100, 1-5 = 80, 6-15 = 50, >15 = 20    |
| Cycles            | 25%    | 0 = 100, 1 = 60, 2-3 = 30, >3 = 0         |
| Deep chains (>7)  | 15%    | 0 = 100, 1-3 = 70, >3 = 30                |
| Cohesion (avg)    | 15%    | >0.7 = 100, 0.5-0.7 = 70, <0.5 = 30       |

**Grades**: A (90-100), B (75-89), C (60-74), D (40-59), F (<40)

Check `get_decay_trends` to see how dependency health metrics have changed over time and whether current trends are improving or degrading.

### Phase 3: RECOMMEND — Generate Recommendations

For each problem found, generate a specific, actionable recommendation:

- **Hubs**: "Split `src/utils/helpers.ts` (14 importers) into domain-specific utilities"
- **Orphans**: "Remove `src/legacy/old-parser.ts` (0 importers, not an entry point)"
- **Cycles**: "Break cycle A→B→C→A by extracting shared types to `src/types/shared.ts`"
- **Deep chains**: "Consider flattening chain: entry→A→B→C→D→E→F→G (8 hops)"
- **Low cohesion**: "Module `src/services/` has 80% external edges — consider splitting"

### Output

```
## Dependency Health Report

### Score: B (78/100)

### Metrics
| Metric | Count | Score |
|--------|-------|-------|
| Hubs (>10 fan-in) | 2 | 70/100 |
| Orphans | 3 | 80/100 |
| Cycles | 0 | 100/100 |
| Deep chains (>7) | 1 | 70/100 |
| Module cohesion | 0.62 avg | 70/100 |

### Top Issues
1. **Hub**: src/utils/helpers.ts — 14 importers (split recommended)
2. **Hub**: src/types/index.ts — 12 importers (acceptable for type barrel)
3. **Orphan**: src/legacy/old-parser.ts — 0 importers
4. **Deep chain**: entry→auth→user→db→pool→config→env→loader (8 hops)

### Recommendations
1. Split src/utils/helpers.ts into domain-specific modules
2. Investigate src/legacy/old-parser.ts for removal
3. Flatten auth chain by having auth import db directly
```

## Harness Integration

- **`harness scan`** — Recommended before this skill for full graph-enhanced analysis. If graph is missing, skill uses static analysis fallbacks.
- **`harness validate`** — Run after acting on findings to verify project health.
- **Graph tools** — This skill uses `query_graph`, `get_relationships`, and `check_dependencies` MCP tools.

## Success Criteria

- Health score computed on 0-100 scale with letter grade (A-F)
- All five structural metrics gathered (hubs, orphans, cycles, deep chains, cohesion)
- Recommendations are specific and actionable (name files, suggest concrete fixes)
- Report follows the structured output format
- All findings are backed by graph query evidence (with graph) or systematic static analysis (without graph)

## Rationalizations to Reject

These are common rationalizations that sound reasonable but lead to incorrect results. When you catch yourself thinking any of these, stop and follow the documented process instead.

| Rationalization                                                                                                  | Why It Is Wrong                                                                                                                               |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| "There are a few orphan files but they are probably test fixtures or configs, so I will skip investigating them" | Orphan detection explicitly excludes entry points. Files with zero inbound imports that are not entry points must be investigated.            |
| "The cycle is between two closely related files, so it is not really a problem"                                  | Cycles create fragile coupling where any change in the cycle affects all members. Even "related" files should not have circular dependencies. |
| "The health score is a B, which is good enough -- no need to act on the recommendations"                         | A hub with 14 importers is a single point of failure. "Good enough" scores mask specific structural risks that compound over time.            |

## Examples

### Example: Weekly Health Check on Monorepo

```
Input: Scheduled weekly run on project root

1. METRICS    — query_graph for hubs: 2 found (helpers.ts, index.ts)
                get_relationships for orphans: 3 found
                check_dependencies for cycles: 0 found
                query_graph for deep chains: 1 found (8 hops)
                Module cohesion average: 0.62
2. SCORE      — Weighted score: 78/100 (Grade: B)
3. RECOMMEND  — "Split helpers.ts (14 importers) into domain modules"
                "Investigate old-parser.ts for removal (0 importers)"
                "Flatten auth chain — 8 hops exceeds threshold"

Output:
  Score: B (78/100)
  Top issues: 2 hubs, 3 orphans, 1 deep chain
  3 actionable recommendations generated
```

## Gates

- **Graph preferred, fallback available.** If no graph exists, use fallback strategies (import parsing, DFS cycle detection, hub/orphan identification). Do not stop — produce the best analysis possible.
- **Systematic analysis required.** All metrics must come from graph queries (with graph) or systematic import parsing (without graph). Do not guess — parse actual import statements.

## Escalation

- **When score is F (<40)**: Flag as critical and recommend immediate architectural review.
- **When graph is stale**: Warn and suggest re-scanning before trusting results.

# Harness Knowledge Mapper

> Auto-generate always-current knowledge maps from graph topology. Never stale because it's computed, not authored.

## When to Use

- When AGENTS.md is outdated or doesn't exist — generate it from the graph
- After major refactoring — regenerate the knowledge map to reflect new structure
- On scheduled basis — keep documentation aligned with code
- When `on_commit` to main triggers fire
- NOT for validating existing AGENTS.md (use validate-context-engineering)
- NOT for fixing documentation drift (use align-documentation)

## Prerequisites

A knowledge graph at `.harness/graph/` enables full analysis. If no graph exists,
the skill uses static analysis fallbacks (see Graph Availability section).
Run `harness scan` to enable graph-enhanced analysis.

### Graph Availability

Before starting, check if `.harness/graph/graph.json` exists.

**If graph exists:** Check staleness — compare `.harness/graph/metadata.json`
scanTimestamp against `git log -1 --format=%ct` (latest commit timestamp).
If graph is more than 10 commits behind (`git log --oneline <scanTimestamp>..HEAD | wc -l`),
run `harness scan` to refresh before proceeding. (Staleness sensitivity: **Medium**)

**If graph exists and is fresh (or refreshed):** Use graph tools as primary strategy.

**If no graph exists:** Output "Running without graph (run `harness scan` to
enable full analysis)" and use fallback strategies for all subsequent steps.

### Pipeline Context (when orchestrated)

When invoked by `harness-docs-pipeline`, check for a `pipeline` field in `.harness/handoff.json`:

- If `pipeline` field exists: read `DocPipelineContext` from it
  - If `pipeline.bootstrapped === true`, this is a bootstrap invocation — generate full AGENTS.md without confirmation prompt
  - Write any generated documentation back as `DocFix[]` to `pipeline.fillsApplied`
  - This enables the orchestrator to track what was generated and verify it
- If `pipeline` field does not exist: behave exactly as today (standalone mode)

No changes to the skill's interface or output format — the pipeline field is purely additive.

## Process

### Phase 1: SURVEY — Query Graph for Structure

1. **Module hierarchy**: Query for module nodes and their `contains` edges to file nodes.

   ```
   query_graph(rootNodeIds=[all module nodes], includeTypes=["module", "file"], includeEdges=["contains"])
   ```

2. **Entry points**: Find file nodes with high out-degree but low in-degree (they initiate dependency chains).

   ```
   search_similar(query="main entry point index")
   ```

3. **Layer structure**: Query for layer nodes if defined.

4. **Dependency flow**: For each module, trace outbound `imports` edges to other modules.

   ```
   get_relationships(nodeId=<module>, direction="outbound", depth=1)
   ```

#### Fallback (without graph)

When no graph is available, use directory structure and file analysis:

1. **Module hierarchy from directories**: Use the directory structure as the module hierarchy — each directory represents a module. Glob for all source files to build the tree.
2. **Entry points**: Check `package.json` for `main` and `exports` fields. Glob for `src/index.*` and `index.*` patterns. These are the entry points.
3. **Source file inventory**: Glob for all source files (`**/*.ts`, `**/*.tsx`, `**/*.js`, `**/*.jsx`, etc.).
4. **Documentation inventory**: Glob for all doc files (`**/*.md`, `docs/**/*`).
5. **Undocumented module detection**: Diff the source directory set against the doc directory set. Source directories with no corresponding docs (no README.md, no matching doc file) are undocumented.
6. **Existing knowledge map**: Read existing AGENTS.md if present for current knowledge map state.
7. **Dependency flow (approximate)**: Parse import statements in each module's files to determine which modules depend on which others.

> Fallback completeness: ~50% — no semantic grouping; modules grouped by directory only; no cross-cutting concern detection.

### Phase 2: GENERATE — Build Knowledge Map

Generate markdown sections following AGENTS.md conventions:

1. **Repository Structure**: Module hierarchy with brief descriptions derived from file contents and function names.

2. **Key Entry Points**: Files identified as entry points with their purpose (inferred from exports and naming).

3. **Module Dependencies**: For each module, list what it depends on and what depends on it. Format as a dependency table.

4. **API Surface**: Public exports from each module, grouped by type (functions, classes, types).

5. **Patterns and Conventions**: Detected patterns from graph structure (e.g., "all services follow Repository pattern", "tests co-located with source").

### Phase 3: AUDIT — Identify Coverage Gaps

1. **Undocumented modules**: Use `check_docs` to find code nodes without `documents` edges.

2. **Missing descriptions**: Modules with no README or doc file.

3. **Stale references**: If an existing AGENTS.md exists, compare its file references against the graph to find mentions of files that no longer exist.

### Phase 4: OUTPUT — Write Knowledge Map

1. **Default**: Write to AGENTS.md in project root.
2. **Custom path**: Write to specified output path.
3. **Diff mode**: If AGENTS.md exists, show what changed rather than overwriting.

### Output

```
## Generated Knowledge Map

### Repository Structure
- **packages/core/** — Core library: context assembly, entropy detection, constraints, feedback
  - src/context/ — Token budget, filtering, doc coverage, knowledge map validation
  - src/entropy/ — Drift detection, dead code analysis, pattern violations
  - src/constraints/ — Layer validation, circular dependency detection, boundaries
  - src/feedback/ — Self-review, peer review, diff analysis

- **packages/graph/** — Knowledge graph: store, query, ingest, search
  - src/store/ — LokiJS-backed graph store, vector store, serialization
  - src/query/ — ContextQL traversal, projection
  - src/ingest/ — Code, git, knowledge, connector ingestion
  - src/search/ — FusionLayer hybrid search

### Entry Points
1. packages/core/src/index.ts — Core library barrel export
2. packages/graph/src/index.ts — Graph library barrel export
3. packages/cli/src/index.ts — CLI entry point (Commander.js)
4. packages/mcp-server/src/server.ts — MCP server registration

### Coverage Gaps
- 3 modules have no documentation
- 5 files have no test coverage
```

### Graph Refresh

After generating documentation, refresh the graph so new `documents` edges reflect the updated docs:

```
harness scan [path]
```

This ensures subsequent graph queries (impact analysis, drift detection) include the newly generated documentation.

## Harness Integration

- **`harness scan`** — Recommended before this skill for full graph-enhanced analysis. If graph is missing, skill uses directory structure fallbacks.
- **`harness validate`** — Run after acting on findings to verify project health.
- **Graph tools** — This skill uses `query_graph`, `get_relationships`, and `check_docs` MCP tools.

## Success Criteria

- Knowledge map generated with all sections (structure, entry points, dependencies, API surface, patterns)
- Coverage gaps identified (undocumented modules, missing descriptions, stale references)
- Output written to AGENTS.md (or specified path) in proper markdown format
- Report follows the structured output format
- All findings are backed by graph query evidence (with graph) or directory/file analysis (without graph)

## Rationalizations to Reject

| Rationalization                                                                         | Why It Is Wrong                                                                                                                                                   |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| "The graph is a few commits behind, but it is close enough for knowledge mapping"       | If the graph is more than 10 commits behind, run harness scan before proceeding. A stale graph produces a knowledge map with missing modules.                     |
| "No graph exists, so this skill cannot produce useful output"                           | The fallback strategy is explicit: use directory structure and file analysis. Fallback completeness is ~50%, significantly better than nothing.                   |
| "The existing AGENTS.md is outdated, so I will overwrite it with the generated version" | Never overwrite without confirmation. Existing AGENTS.md may contain carefully authored context the graph cannot infer.                                           |
| "The module descriptions I inferred from function names are accurate enough"            | Inferred descriptions are starting points. Phase 3 (AUDIT) exists to identify coverage gaps. Name-based inference misses purpose, constraints, and relationships. |

## Examples

### Example: Generating AGENTS.md from Graph

```
Input: No AGENTS.md exists, graph is current after harness scan

1. SURVEY   — query_graph for module hierarchy: 4 packages found
              search_similar for entry points: 4 identified
              get_relationships for dependency flow per module
2. GENERATE — Built 5 sections: structure, entry points,
              dependencies, API surface, patterns
3. AUDIT    — check_docs found 3 undocumented modules,
              5 files with no test coverage
4. OUTPUT   — Wrote AGENTS.md to project root (new file)

Output:
  AGENTS.md generated (142 lines)
  Coverage gaps: 3 undocumented modules, 5 untested files
  No stale references (fresh generation)
```

## Gates

- **Graph preferred, fallback available.** If no graph exists, use directory structure and file analysis to build the knowledge map. Do not stop — produce the best map possible.
- **Never overwrite without confirmation.** If AGENTS.md exists, show the diff and ask before replacing.

## Escalation

- **When >50% of modules are undocumented**: Flag as critical documentation debt.
- **When graph structure doesn't match directory structure**: The graph may be stale — recommend re-scanning.

# Validate Context Engineering

> Validate AGENTS.md quality and evolve it as the codebase changes. Good context engineering means AI agents always have accurate, current knowledge about the project.

## When to Use

- After adding new files, modules, or packages to the project
- After renaming, moving, or deleting significant files
- After changing public APIs, architectural patterns, or conventions
- When onboarding a new contributor (human or AI) and want to verify context is current
- When `on_context_check` or `on_pre_commit` triggers fire
- Periodically (weekly or per-sprint) as a hygiene check
- NOT when making trivial changes (typo fixes, comment updates, formatting)
- NOT during active feature development — run this between features or at cycle boundaries

## Process

### Phase 1: Audit — Run Automated Checks

1. **Run `harness validate`** to check overall project health. Review any context-related warnings or errors in the output.

2. **Run `harness check-docs`** to detect documentation gaps, broken links, and stale references. Capture the full output for analysis.

3. **Review AGENTS.md manually.** Automated tools catch structural issues but miss semantic drift. Read each section and ask: "Is this still true?"

### Graph-Enhanced Context (when available)

When a knowledge graph exists at `.harness/graph/`, use graph queries for faster, more accurate auditing:

- `query_graph` — find all undocumented code nodes (file nodes without `documents` edges), replacing manual cross-referencing
- `search_similar` — detect stale references in AGENTS.md by matching section text against current code entities

When a graph is available, it IS the source of truth for documentation coverage. Drift = stale or missing edges between code and doc nodes. Fall back to file-based commands if no graph is available.

### Pipeline Context (when orchestrated)

When invoked by `harness-docs-pipeline`, check for a `pipeline` field in `.harness/handoff.json`:

- If `pipeline` field exists: read `DocPipelineContext` from it
  - Use `pipeline.exclusions` to skip findings that were already addressed in the FIX phase
  - Write `GapFinding[]` results back to `pipeline.gapFindings` in handoff.json
  - This enables dedup across FIX and AUDIT phases
- If `pipeline` field does not exist: behave exactly as today (standalone mode)

No changes to the skill's interface or output format — the pipeline field is purely additive.

### Phase 2: Detect Gaps

Categorize findings into four types:

1. **Undocumented files.** New source files, modules, or packages that are not mentioned in AGENTS.md or any knowledge map section. These are the highest priority — an AI agent encountering these files has no context.

2. **Broken links.** References to files, functions, or URLs that no longer exist. These actively mislead agents.

3. **Stale sections.** Content that was accurate when written but no longer reflects reality. Examples: renamed functions still referenced by old name, removed features still described, changed conventions not updated.

4. **Missing context.** Sections that exist but lack critical information. A module is listed but its purpose, constraints, or relationships are not explained. An AI agent can find the file but does not understand why it exists or how to use it correctly.

### Phase 3: Suggest Updates

For each gap, generate a specific suggestion:

- **Undocumented files:** Draft a new section or entry with the file path, purpose, key exports, and relationship to existing modules. Use the existing AGENTS.md style and structure.
- **Broken links:** Identify the correct target (renamed file, moved function) or recommend removal if the target was deleted.
- **Stale sections:** Draft replacement text that reflects current reality. Show the diff between old and new.
- **Missing context:** Draft additional content that fills the gap. Focus on what an AI agent needs to know: purpose, constraints, relationships, and gotchas.

### Phase 4: Apply with Approval

1. **Present all suggestions as a grouped list.** Organize by section of AGENTS.md for easy review.

2. **Apply approved changes.** Update AGENTS.md with the approved suggestions. Preserve existing formatting and style.

3. **Re-run `harness check-docs`** to verify all fixes are clean. No new issues should be introduced.

4. **Commit the update.** Use a descriptive commit message that summarizes what was updated and why.

## What Makes Good AGENTS.md Content

Good context engineering treats AGENTS.md as a **dynamic knowledge base**, not a static document.

- **Accuracy over completeness.** A small, accurate AGENTS.md is better than a comprehensive but stale one. Every statement must be verifiable against the current codebase.
- **Purpose-first descriptions.** Do not just list files. Explain WHY each module exists, what problem it solves, and what constraints apply to it.
- **Relationship mapping.** Show how modules connect. Which modules depend on which? What are the boundaries? An agent reading one section should understand how it fits into the whole.
- **Gotchas and constraints.** Document the non-obvious. What will break if someone does X? What patterns must be followed? What is forbidden and why?
- **Change-friendly structure.** Organize so that adding a new module means adding one section, not updating ten places. Use consistent formatting so automated tools can parse it.
- **Actionable guidance.** Every section should help an agent make correct decisions. "This module handles authentication" is less useful than "This module handles authentication. All auth changes must go through the AuthService class. Direct database access for auth data is forbidden — use the repository layer."

## Harness Integration

- **`harness validate`** — Full project health check. Reports context gaps as part of overall validation.
- **`harness check-docs`** — Focused documentation audit. Detects broken links, missing references, stale sections, and undocumented files.
- **`harness fix-drift`** — Auto-fix simple drift issues (broken links, renamed references). Use after manual review confirms the fixes are correct.

## Success Criteria

- `harness check-docs` passes with zero errors and zero warnings
- Every source file that contains public API or architectural significance is referenced in AGENTS.md
- All file paths and function names in AGENTS.md match the current codebase
- All links (internal and external) resolve correctly
- AGENTS.md sections accurately describe current module purposes, constraints, and relationships
- A new AI agent reading AGENTS.md can navigate the codebase and make correct decisions without additional guidance

## Rationalizations to Reject

| Rationalization                                                            | Why It Is Wrong                                                                                                                                                           |

| "The automated checks passed, so AGENTS.md is accurate"                    | Phase 1 says automated tools catch structural issues but miss semantic drift. Manual review of each section is required.                                                  |
| "This module is small and internal -- it does not need an AGENTS.md entry" | Undocumented files are the highest priority finding. Even small internal modules need at least a purpose statement.                                                       |
| "AGENTS.md is severely outdated -- let me rewrite it from scratch"         | Do not attempt to fix everything at once when there are >20 issues. Prioritize: broken links first, then undocumented public APIs.                                        |
| "I will add the file paths and leave the descriptions for later"           | Purpose-first descriptions, relationship mapping, and gotchas are what make context engineering useful. A file listing without context is marginally better than nothing. |

### Example: New module added but not documented

**Audit output from `harness check-docs`:**

```
WARNING: Undocumented file detected: src/services/notification-service.ts
  - File contains 3 public exports: NotificationService, NotificationType, sendNotification
  - File is imported by 4 other modules
  - No AGENTS.md section references this file
```

**Suggested update:**

```markdown
### Notification Service (`src/services/notification-service.ts`)

Handles all outbound notifications (email, Slack, webhook). All notification delivery
must go through `NotificationService` — direct use of transport libraries (nodemailer,
Slack SDK) outside this module is forbidden.

- `NotificationType` — enum of supported notification channels
- `sendNotification()` — primary entry point; routes to the correct transport
- Requires `NOTIFICATION_CONFIG` environment variables to be set
- Respects rate limits defined in `harness.config.json` under `notifications`
```

**Apply:** Add the section under the Services heading in AGENTS.md. Re-run `harness check-docs` to confirm the warning is resolved.

### Example: Renamed function still referenced by old name

**Audit output:**

```
ERROR: Broken reference in AGENTS.md line 47: `calculateShipping()`
  - Function was renamed to `computeShippingCost()` in commit abc123
  - Located in src/services/shipping.ts
```

**Fix:** Replace `calculateShipping()` with `computeShippingCost()` in AGENTS.md. Verify no other references to the old name exist.

## Escalation

- **When AGENTS.md is severely outdated (>20 issues):** Do not attempt to fix everything at once. Prioritize: broken links first, then undocumented public APIs, then stale descriptions. Batch the work across multiple commits.
- **When you are unsure whether a section is stale:** Check git blame for the section and compare against recent changes to the referenced files. If the section has not been updated since the referenced files changed, it is likely stale.
- **When the project has no AGENTS.md:** Escalate to the human. Creating an AGENTS.md from scratch is a significant decision about project structure and should be done intentionally, not automatically.
