Ca checkpoint

$ca-checkpoint — codebase sweep

Periodic sweep of the entire codebase with the reviewer fleet, funneled to a single dated report. Surfaces findings — not a promotion gate, enforces no sign-off.

Flow

1. Build the unit list — the same fleet as $ca-review, scoped to the whole codebase against the <project-root>/.codearbiter/ docs:

   Reviewer	Reads
   security-reviewer	security-controls.md; reviews security posture
   auth-crypto-reviewer	security-controls.md; authn/crypto/key/secret paths
   dependency-reviewer	dependency manifests; license + supply-chain posture
   migration-reviewer	migration history; safety + classification
   coverage-auditor	test coverage vs. obligations across the tree
   architecture-drift-reviewer	decisions/; drift between code and accepted ADRs

2. Route to dispatching-parallel-agents with that unit list (read-only batch). It dedupes, then funnels through finding-triage → checkpoint-aggregator.

3. checkpoint-aggregator writes the dated report to <project-root>/.codearbiter/checkpoints/YYYY-MM-DD.md: findings by severity with file:line, and out-of-scope items marked inline [NEEDS-TRIAGE].

4. Write the current override count to <project-root>/.codearbiter/last-checkpoint — the integer baseline the startup briefing subtracts for its overrides-since-checkpoint counter. The value is the number of non-comment, non-blank lines in overrides.log at this moment (0 if the log is absent). This re-zeros the over:N segment until the next $ca-override. Write a bare integer, not a timestamp — the briefing treats any value above the current total as stale and falls back to showing every override.

5. Report the checkpoint path.

Hard gate

Read-only except writing the checkpoint doc and last-checkpoint — MUST NOT modify code. MUST NOT consume raw reviewer output — only the finding-triage → checkpoint-aggregator verdict. MUST NOT resolve a [CONFIRM-NN] surfaced during the sweep by guessing. The report surfaces findings; it does not block or sign off anything.

When NOT to use

• Reviewing just the current diff → $ca-review.
• A pre-implementation threat model → $ca-threat-model.
• ADR health only → $ca-adr-status.
• A whole-codebase deep audit → $ca-tribunal (checkpoint is the lean periodic sweep; tribunal its rare deep counterpart).
