Clean sweep
Exhaust a finite backlog of findings to zero, PR-per-finding, on Orca. Sources: an audit/adversarial-review document, the issue tracker, or verified false documentation claims. Each finding is skeptic-triaged (reproduced or refuted with evidence), fixed on an integration branch with a failing-first test, build-blind reviewed, merge-verified, and closed with a linked SHA; the loop re-enumerates until dry. Use when "clean sweep", "close every issue", "drain the backlog", "fix everything in this audit", "the README lies — verify and fix it", or a broken test that fails deterministically (N/N, cause findable — deflake-it routes those here). Not for security/perf/deps/coverage-gaps/flakes (those are harden-it / speed-it / modernize-it / prove-it / deflake-it — different convergence proofs) and not for building new work (ship-it).From its SKILL.md

clean-sweep — exhaust a finite backlog to zero, with evidence
You are the COORDINATOR of a run that closes every real item in a bounded set and leaves the repo demonstrably working. Thin loop-holder: you enumerate, dispatch the per-finding pipeline, verify against authoritative state, and keep the ledger FILE (your memory is compacted; the ledger survives). You never review, code, open PRs, or merge — every one is a dispatched worker.
Read ARCHITECTURE.md once. Composes remediate-finding, acceptance-review,
build-change, compound-learn; rides merge-serialization, reviewed-sha-freshness,
dispatch-lifecycle, liveness-resume, evidence-manifest, orca-dag-semantics,
ledger-contract, attention-budget. Review is remediate-finding's build-blind step
(acceptance-review); per-finding negative control is build-change — not a full runtime-prove
pass (reserved for non-trivial feature-class findings handed to ship-it).
Two terminal outcomes
- DRY — full re-enumeration finds zero items not CLOSED with evidence (no open parks).
- DRY-WITH-PARKED (degraded) — set exhausted except ≥1 PARKED (
needs-human,CODE_CLOSED+VERIFY_AT_SCALE, etc.). Never reported as DRY.
The source (declare it — same unit, same pipeline, source-specific enumeration)
source=audit(default): findings from a scan / adversarial-review doc. FREEZE the findings list.source=tracker: OPEN ISSUES. Record run-startT0FIRST; the denominator is two queries — every open issue in scope (paginated to the end; a truncated listing silently fails the run) AND every issue created/reopened sinceT0any state (classexternally-resolved). Re-run BOTH each loop.source=doc-claims: falsifiable documentation claims — a false claim IS a finding (extract → verify againstfile:symbolor a run → correct/remove). Discover claims indocs/,README, code comments, or a user-supplied list. Generating NEW docs is not this mission (that's ship-it scoped work).
Any source: a PRIOR run's completion report over the same surface is a claims list to RE-VERIFY (liveness-resume.md inflation post-mortem), never a pre-closed set — its green-but-unverified claims enter the enumeration FIRST.
Pipeline
SELF-ORIENT → ENUMERATE (per source) → SKEPTIC-TRIAGE (reproduce-or-refute) → FREEZE
→ BOOTSTRAP integration BASE (preflight --base <BASE> --fork-point <header sha>; BASE ≠ default)
→ PER-FINDING (remediate-finding: verify-real → build-change → PR → build-blind review → merge_ready)
→ conductor LAND (merge-serialization) → CLOSE with evidence
→ re-ENUMERATE (loop until dry) → FINAL REPORT + `compound-learn` + human gates
Run the coordinator as a MANUAL loop (task-create → spawn → dispatch --inject → check --wait), not
orchestration run — you want the file-ledger boolean gate under your control. Dispatch waves
respect attention-budget WIP.
Convergence proof (definition of done)
A full enumeration finds ZERO items that are not (a) CLOSED with evidence (a merged, ancestry-verified
PR + a test that failed pre-fix, revert-audited on a ≥10% sample; the closing comment links PR + test;
ledger flags BUILD_DONE…WT_CLEAN all t) or (b) PARKED with an allowed class (refuted/duplicate closes
are a one-way batch gate; needs-human / CODE_CLOSED+VERIFY_AT_SCALE name their gate/OPS ref).
The final enumeration output is pasted in the ledger showing the dry state. source=tracker
reconciles created/closed-mid-run issues against T0, so the count is honest. Manifest names DRY or
DRY-WITH-PARKED. DRY also requires the integration TIP to pass the repo's OWN validate/test suite:
the FINAL REPORT and any run-close commit land on the branch outside the per-finding gates, so a
green per-finding history under a red report commit is still a red branch — verify the tip green
before opening the promotion PR.
Ledger (header first, then rows)
Line 1 per liveness-resume.md: RUN · COORDINATOR · BASE · FORK_POINT · T0 · SOURCE · WIP (SOURCE =
source type + enumeration digest). Phase marker + unit boolean flags per ledger-contract.md:
| task_id | id | title | CLASS | BUILD_DONE | PR_OPEN | BOT | REVIEWED | MERGED | WT_CLEAN | lighting | park | evidence |
CLASS ∈ real-bug · real-feature-small · refuted · duplicate · externally-resolved · needs-human ·
out-of-scope · CODE_CLOSED. RESUME scopes to header coordinator + ledger task ids.
Gates + supervision
Batch human gate for refuted/duplicate closes (or a once-per-run recorded grant). Fix-backed closes need no extra gate — the evidence chain is authorization. BASE→default promotion is out of scope: open the promotion PR, stop. Stalls → liveness-resume WATCH; compaction → CONTEXT HANDOFF then RESUME; death → RESUME (ledger-scoped, git-verified).
Anti-patterns
Fixing without the triage repro (you'll "fix" symptoms and close real bugs unfixed). Closing from
worker memory (only off verified merges). One mega-PR for many findings (merge-serialization exists).
Truncated enumeration (partial denominator = a false "done"). Dropping a finding at DISPATCH:
batching the frozen list into file-coherent build units can silently omit an id the denominator still
carries — the wave plan is a new artifact, so assert every frozen id maps to exactly one build unit
before dispatch; a finding that never reached dispatched is OPEN, not done (re-enumeration is the
backstop, not the primary guard). Owning security/perf/deps/coverage-gaps/flakes — those are separate
missions with different convergence proofs.
