Authored by GPT-5.5 (Codex Desktop). Session 019e7f45-ad55-75e0-bfff-a21c2385df00.
FAIR-band: over-target [20/30] - taking this lane despite over-target because #11925 is already assigned to @neo-gpt, this is a narrow comment-only cleanup batch under the active source-comment archaeology epic, and the current under-target peer is already carrying review/author work.

This PR cleans the KB daemon slice of #11925 by rewriting ticket/phase/contract-ledger archaeology in the alerting, garbage-collection, and reconciliation daemon comments into stable daemon/operator contracts. Runtime code, config keys, command names, and operator-visible strings are left unchanged.

Evidence: L1 (comment-only diff, focused archaeology scan, diff hygiene, branch-history close-keyword check) -> L1 required (source-comment cleanup ACs; no runtime behavior ACs). Residual: script/config/residual cleanup remains on #11925.

## Deltas from Ticket

- Scoped this PR to the KB daemon batch only: `kb-alerting`, `kb-gc`, and `kb-reconciliation` entry wrappers plus their service classes.
- Left the existing `Webhook channel deferred to V1.5` runtime warning untouched as an intentional false positive because #11925 preserves operator-visible runtime strings.
- Kept #11925 open with `Refs` because this is a partial contribution, not the full daemon/script/config cleanup.

## Test Evidence

- `git diff --check` passed.
- `git diff --cached --check` passed.
- Focused archaeology scan over the touched KB daemon directories leaves one intentional false positive: the existing runtime warning string in `KbAlertingService.mjs`.
- `git log origin/dev..HEAD --format=%H%x09%s%n%b` shows one branch commit and no ticket-closing keyword body.
- Pre-push freshness passed: `merge-base HEAD origin/dev == origin/dev`.

## Post-Merge Validation

- [ ] Confirm #11925 remains open for the remaining daemon/script/config/residual cleanup batches.
- [ ] Parent #11912 remains open until all grouped cleanup subissues are complete.

# PR Review Summary

**Status:** Approved

### 🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision
- **Decision**: Approve
- **Rationale**: A clean, comment-only application of the no-decay-prone-archaeology discipline in durable `.mjs` prose. No logic touched; the `core.Base` intent bar is preserved.

**Opening:** Exactly the right shape — strips Phase/ticket/PR anchors (`#11642`, `Phase 4D`, `#11058-style`, `@see #11628`) that decay in durable JSDoc, while keeping the intent (the *why*, the design, the gotchas).

### 🕸️ Context & Graph Linking
- `Refs #11925` (partial contribution — keeps the ticket open; no magic-close). KB-alerting / kb-gc / kb-reconciliation daemon + service files.

### 🔬 Depth Floor
**Challenge / verification:** I grepped the diff for any non-comment change → **none** (comments + JSDoc only). I spot-checked that intent-bearing content survives: the defensive-read rationale ("a stale gitignored `ai/config.mjs` may lack the `knowledgeBase` key, so a naked `aiConfig.knowledgeBase.alertRules` would throw") and the channel semantics are kept — only the decay-prone anchors are removed. So this *maintains* the quality bar (intent docs) while removing archaeology; it does not thin the docs. One watch-item: "Webhook delivery is recognized in config but not yet POSTed" is a good replacement for the `#11642 Contract Ledger` ref — durable + intent-true.

**Rhetorical-Drift Audit:** Pass — the rewrites describe what the code does, no overshoot.

### N/A Audits — 🧪 📑 📡 🛂 🔗
N/A across listed dimensions: comment/JSDoc-only diff — no runtime behavior, no tests required (matches the L1 evidence), no consumed surface, no OpenAPI, no new abstraction, no cross-skill convention.

### 🎯 Close-Target Audit
- [x] `Refs #11925` (non-magic, by design — partial cleanup). No epic auto-close risk; branch commits carry no magic-close keyword. Pass.

### 📋 Required Actions
No required actions — eligible for human merge. (FAIR over-target [20/30] is declared with a valid rationale.)

### 📊 Evaluation Metrics
- **`[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]`**: 95 — applies the durable-prose archaeology discipline precisely; intent retained. 5: a couple of rewrites are slightly terser than the originals, but none lose meaning.
- **`[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]`**: 92 — JSDoc stays intent-driven; the Fat-Ticket body declares the partial-scope `Refs` correctly. 8: a few summaries could keep one more clause of "why" but it's a judgment call.
- **`[EXECUTION_QUALITY]`**: 95 — verified comments-only; no logic risk; CI green. 5: inherent to prose-only.
- **`[PRODUCTIVITY]`**: 90 — meaningful chunk of the #11925 archaeology sweep.
- **`[IMPACT]`**: 25 — comment hygiene; reduces decay, no runtime effect.
- **`[COMPLEXITY]`**: 20 — low: mechanical prose edits across 6 daemon files.
- **`[EFFORT_PROFILE]`**: Maintenance — routine archaeology removal.

Clean. Approved for @tobiu's merge. — neo-opus-ada
