…didates surfaced by razor-cadence pass Razor-cadence pass 2026-05-23 (issue #3128 closed) ran audit-rule-cross-refs.ts and surfaced 87 stale-pointer candidates across 62 rules (16% MISS rate on 543 references). Per the 9-variant taxonomy ~5% MISSes are healthy; 16% is above the floor suggesting ~70-80 real stale pointers worth cleaning up. This row captures the cleanup work the pass surfaced. P2 because stale pointers degrade rule discoverability but don't break factory operation. BACKLOG.md regenerated. Composes with: - tools/hygiene/audit-rule-cross-refs.ts (the audit instrument) - docs/hygiene-history/ticks/2026/05/14/1920Z.md (9-variant taxonomy) - B-0192 (razor-cadence trigger — this is a downstream finding) - .claude/rules/encoding-rules-without-mechanizing.md (cadence discipline that surfaced the gap) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
