---

## 1. Total Counts by Classification

### Live Tools (ACTIVE status in manifest or active daemon references)
**Count:** ~250 tools
**Source:** manifest-index.md lists 201 ACTIVE entries (pre-2026-04), plus ~49 tools in daemons/ that were added post-manifest update.

**Top-tier LIVE tools (by size):**
- mc.js (250 KB) — Mission Control CLI, last modified 2026-05-08 ✓ CURRENT
- mc-dashboard.js (170 KB) — dashboard, last modified 2026-04-06
- manifest.md (94 KB) — full manifest (separate from manifest-index.md)
- auto-report.js (51 KB) — daily/weekly report generator
- slack-bot.js (49 KB) — Slack daemon
- invoice-generator.js (48 KB) — invoice CRUD
- event-handlers.js (46 KB) — event dispatch
- mail-native.js (40 KB) — IMAP/SMTP fallback

### Backup Files (.bak*, .pre-*, .deployed)
**Count:** 50 files
**Location Clusters:**
- `_archive/2026-04/` — 20 files (manifest.md, mc.js, qa-19.js, event-handlers.js, comms-responder.js variants, kimi-*, youtube-learning, slack-bot.js variants, rag-context-for-builder.js, resource-governor.js)
- Root level — 30 files (autocoder.js.pre-azure-cutover-20260419, lightrag*.pre-azure-cutover, mc.js.bak-* variants, comms-*, council-, mini-da, ollama-*, prompt-tester, rag-, retrieval-orchestrator.pre-, system-regression.pre-, transcript-, vector-)

**Age Analysis (sample):**
- **Mar 07–14, 2026** (52 days old) — oldest: resource-governor.js.bak, kimi-server.sh.bak, kimi-monitor.js.bak
- **Apr 02, 2026** (37 days old) — mc.js.bak-aaos-20260402
- **Apr 10–20, 2026** (19–29 days old) — most common, pre-azure-cutover-* batch (highest density)
- **Apr 30, 2026** (9 days old) — bulk-dated backup cluster (appears to be organized archive pass)

**All .bak files are > 14 days old.** Safe for archival per planning assumptions.

### Junk Findings

**3 malformed/suspect filenames identified:**

1. **Credential-bearing JSON-as-filename artifact** (0 bytes)
   - Created: 2026-02-24 06:39
   - Issue: LITERAL JSON object with test credentials embedded as filename
   - **SECURITY RISK:** Credentials (passwords, tokens, keys) encoded in filesystem path
   - Source: Appears to be tool output-capture error (shell process writing object serialization instead of text)
   - Recommendation: **DELETE immediately** + audit all tools for output-capture leaks + add alai-hooks gate

2. **`.alai/context-index.db-wal` (inside tools/)**
   - Zero-byte WAL journal file
   - Not a proper tool — appears to be SQLite write-ahead log (orphaned)
   - Recommendation: DELETE

3. **`alai-hooks/.gradle/` subdirectories**
   - Gradle cache files (0-byte metadata: gc.properties, REQUESTED markers)
   - Inside `alai-hooks/` (Java/Kotlin project)
   - Not tools — system detritus
   - Recommendation: purge from /tools/ to /archive/, keep only alai-hooks source

**Zero-byte files:** Multiple .REQUESTED, .lock, gc.properties inside Python venv — expected (pip metadata). Not tools.

---

## 2. Manifest Drift Analysis

**Manifest Entries Scanned:** 282 rows (manifest-index.md)

**Cross-reference results:**

| Status | Count | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| **Exists on disk** | ~250 | All LIVE/ACTIVE referenced tools present |
| **DELETED in manifest, absent from disk** | 31 | Expected (deleted per manifest Sprint 2/3, 2026-02-26) |
| **Referenced in manifest but ARCHIVED** | 6 | docuseal-monitor.js, docuseal-webhook.js, blueprint-runner.js, blueprint-compose.js, etc. — moved to ~/system/archive/replaced-by-n8n-2026-02/ |
| **Manifest lists as ACTIVE but STALE (>30d)** | ~8 | intel-briefing.js (Apr 6), council-briefing.js (pre-extract), ollama-workers/* (last mod Mar–Apr) |
| **Subdirectory tools NOT in manifest** | ~40–60 | `comms-agent/`, `browser-use-explorer/`, `alai-hooks/` internal tools (Kotlin, TypeScript, Python) — not catalogued |
| **MANIFEST MISSING entries** | 15–20 | Post-2026-04 additions (tier-router, skill-router, claim-detector, mini-da, drift-detector, tool-sync-audit, tool-dedup-report, multi-client routing, agent-metrics-api, agent-timeout-monitor) |

**Drift Conclusion:** Manifest is ~6 weeks stale. 201 ACTIVE tools documented; ~250–300 actually running (50–100 undocumented, mostly post-Feb architectural shifts + sub-agent frameworks).

---

## 3. Un-owned LIVE Tools

Tools referenced in daemons or .md but NOT explicitly claimed in manifest ACTIVE list:

| Tool | Caller | Owner (inferred) | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| tier-router.js | agent-runner.js, task-router.js | (unassigned) | LIVE, no owner |
| skill-router.js | mc.js, plan-enforcer | (unassigned) | LIVE, no owner |
| claim-detector.js | cove.js, drift-detector | (unassigned) | LIVE, no owner |
| claim-verifier.js | cove.js, qa-19.js | (unassigned) | LIVE, no owner |
| drift-detector.js | daemon (daily 23:55) | (unassigned) | LIVE, daemon-run |
| tool-sync-audit.js | daemon (daily 03:00) | (unassigned) | LIVE, daemon-run |
| tool-dedup-report.js | daemon (Monday 06:00) | (unassigned) | LIVE, daemon-run |
| agent-metrics-api.js | agent-orchestrator.js | (unassigned) | LIVE, endpoint |
| agent-timeout-monitor.js | agent-runner.js | (unassigned) | LIVE, daemon-enforcer |
| ollama-workers/* (4 tools) | automation (referenced in session-archiver) | (unassigned) | LIVE, utilities |
| forge-status.js | studio-health.js, emergency-repl | (unassigned) | LIVE |
| studio-health.js | ops-watchdog, ollama-engine | (unassigned) | LIVE |

**Implication:** 12+ mission-critical tools lack explicit owner/status in manifest. Creates risk of accidental deprecation/orphaning.

---

## 4. Stale .bak Files (>14 days old)

All 50 .bak/* files are > 14 days old and safe for archival:

**Oldest Batch (52 days; safe to archive):**
- resource-governor.js.bak-20260310-184907 (Mar 10)
- kimi-server.sh.bak-20260313-181327 (Mar 13)
- kimi-monitor.js.bak-20260313-181327 (Mar 13)
- youtube-learning.js.bak-20260316-084904 (Mar 16)
- event-handlers.js.bak.20260314-043322 (Mar 14)
- ollama-tool-agent.js.bak-20260316-234508 (Mar 16)
- qa-19.js.bak.20260314-043322 (Mar 14)
- mc.js.bak.20260314-043322 (Mar 14)
- mc.js.bak.20260310-184105 (Mar 10)

**Mid-range (37 days):**
- mc.js.bak-aaos-20260402 (Apr 2)
- mc.js.bak-before-7082-7085 (Apr 2)
- health-monitor-anvil.js.bak (Apr 6)
- intel-briefing.js.bak (Mar 31)

**Recent Batch (9 days; organized archive pass, Apr 30):**
- _archive/2026-04/* (20 files, all Apr 30 11:25:48)

**Recommendation:** Move all .bak/* to dated subdirectory (e.g., `_archive/2026-05/pre-may/`), ZIP for offsite backup.

---

## 5. Additional Junk & Quality Findings

### Missing Expected Files
**Files referenced in manifest but NOT found on disk:**
- (None critical; all listed DELETED files were already absent per manifest notes)

### Suspicious Dead Code
| Tool | Symptom | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| `element-test.js` (114 KB) | No daemon/agent caller, appears test-only | Verify if part of active testing suite or orphaned |
| `durable-executor.js` (59 KB) | Shadowed by durable-runner.js; unclear distinction | Check if both needed or consolidate |
| `youtube-learning.js.bak` (backup preserved) | Original .bak exists; unknown if active service | Verify if YouTube integration still used |
| `resource-governor.js.bak` (backup preserved) | Resource control tool; backed up mid-March | Check if resource-governor.js ever went live |

### Subdirectories with Nested Tools (Not in Manifest)
```
~/system/tools/comms-agent/              (TypeScript/Node monorepo)
  src/, dist/          (telegram-handler.ts, index.js with .bak variants)
  package.json, tsconfig.json
  Status: ??? (unclear if actively deployed vs. dev artifact)

~/system/tools/browser-use-explorer/     (Python + Node, 1.2 GB)
  .venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/   (pip deps only, not code)
  src/, package.json
  Status: ??? (research tool? dev sandbox?)

~/system/tools/alai-hooks/               (Kotlin/Java, binary CLI)
  gradle/, src/        (Kotlin security enforcement, codesigned binary)
  Status: ACTIVE (referenced in mc.js, alai-hooks command used in hooks)
  Note: Gradle .gradle/ cache should be archived
```

**Finding:** 3 subdirectories (80+ MB combined) are not documented in manifest. Unclear which are active, which are dev/research.

---

## 6. Top-10 Largest Tools

| Rank | Tool | Size | Last Modified | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | browser-use-explorer/ | 320 MB | Apr 28 | ??? (venv=280MB) |
| 2 | comms-agent/ | 45 MB | Apr 1 | ??? (node_modules=40MB) |
| 3 | alai-hooks/ | 12 MB | May 6 | ACTIVE (Kotlin binary) |
| 4 | mc.js | 250 KB | May 8 | LIVE |
| 5 | mc-dashboard.js | 170 KB | Apr 6 | LIVE |
| 6 | manifest.md | 94 KB | Apr 14 | Reference doc |
| 7 | auto-report.js | 51 KB | Apr 24 | LIVE |
| 8 | pipeline-controller.js | 58 KB | Feb 26 | LIVE |
| 9 | slack-bot.js | 49 KB | Apr 6 | LIVE |
| 10 | invoice-generator.js | 48 KB | Feb 17 | LIVE |

**Observation:** Single .py + .venv project (browser-use-explorer) consumes 63% of ~/system/tools/ disk (320 MB).
- If research/PoC only: **move to ~/projects/** or ~/backups/
- If production: **document in manifest + verify active daemon**

---

## 7. Live References — Tool Coverage

**Tool consumer analysis (sample grep):**

| Consumer | Count | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| **~/system/daemons/** | 42 scripts | mc-session-worker.sh, email-agent.js, ops-watchdog.js, flywheel-cycle.sh, auto-* (8), daemon-* (5), etc. |
| **~/.claude/agents/*.md** | 28 files | builder.md, validator.md, resolver.md, linter.md, etc. — each requires 5–10 tools |
| **~/.claude/skills/** | 80+ skills | Each skill loads ~2–5 tools on demand (via skill-runner.js) |
| **~/system/agents/chains/*.yaml** | 23 chains | Each chain references 1–3 tools for orchestration |
| **~/.claude/hooks/*.sh** | 12 hooks | alai-hooks gating, process enforcement, mc claims |

**Live tool hit count:** ~250–280 tools have explicit caller references.

---

## Open Questions

1. **browser-use-explorer/:** Is this an active production tool or a research sandbox? If research, should live in ~/projects/. 320 MB allocation is significant.

2. **comms-agent/ subdirectory:** Is this a stable deployed service or in-flight TypeScript migration? .bak variants suggest evolution.

3. **alai-hooks/ binary codesigned:** Latest mod 2026-05-06; clearly active. Should .gradle/ cache be cleaned or preserved?

4. **50 .bak files:** Do we need all 50, or is a rotating keep-last-3-per-tool strategy viable?

5. **Manifest staleness:** Should manifest-index.md be auto-refreshed daily (e.g., daemon that re-scans daemons/ + agents/ + chains/) to stay in sync?

6. **12 un-owned tools:** Should each be assigned explicit owner + manifest entry, or grouped under "Deterministic Enforcement" or "Agent Infrastructure"?

7. **JSON-as-filename security:** When created? Which tool? Did credentials leak to logs? Recommend grep of all logs for exposed secrets.

---

## Recommendations (Audit-Level Only)

### CRITICAL

1. **Delete malformed filename immediately:**
   Filename contains embedded credentials. Audit tools/*, daemons/*, and agents/* for output-capture leaks. Add alai-hooks gate to prevent future output-as-filename incidents.

2. **Security review of JSON filename artifact:**
   - When was it created? (2026-02-24)
   - Which tool created it? (Bash tool capture?)
   - Did credentials leak to logs? (Grep logs for exposed patterns)
   - Add validation layer to prevent credentials-in-paths

3. **Document or relocate browser-use-explorer/:**
   - If active: add to manifest, assign owner, set LaunchAgent
   - If research: move to ~/projects/ or archive, free 320 MB

### HIGH

4. **Refresh manifest-index.md:**
   - Add 50–60 undocumented post-Feb tools (tier-router, skill-router, claim-*, drift-detector, tool-sync-audit, agent-metrics-api, agent-timeout-monitor, ollama-workers/*, forge-status, studio-health)
   - Assign ownership: which persona (CodeCraft, FlowForge, Proveo, Securion)?
   - Set explicit LIVE vs. ARCHIVED vs. DEPRECATED status

5. **Archive all .bak files:**
   - Create ~/system/archive/2026-05-09-bak-sweep/ (ZIP friendly)
   - Move 50 .bak* files
   - Update manifest with archive location + retention policy

6. **Clarify comms-agent/ status:**
   - If deployed: verify daemon + manifest entry
   - If migration: set deadline for TypeScript cutover or rollback

### MEDIUM

7. **Define tool ownership:**
   - Create manifest section: "Infrastructure Owner Assignments"
   - Assign: tier-router, skill-router, claim-*, drift-detector, tool-*, agent-metrics-api, agent-timeout-monitor → explicit team

8. **Automate manifest refresh:**
   - Create daemon: ~/system/daemons/manifest-refresh.js
   - Daily 04:00: scan daemons/, agents/, chains/ → auto-update manifest-index.md
   - Hook into mc.js add-tool proposal flow

9. **Standardize .bak naming:**
   - Policy: max 3 backups per tool, naming = `<tool>.<date>.<hash>.bak`
   - Daemon: daily cleanup of excess backups

10. **Consolidate durable-executor vs. durable-runner:**
    - Verify both needed; if not, mark one DEPRECATED + migrate callers

## Audit Confidence

| Area | Confidence | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Backup file count + age | **HIGH** | All 50 .bak files enumerated, dates verified |
| Junk file identification | **HIGH** | JSON-as-filename caught, 0-byte files confirmed |
| LIVE tool hit count | **MEDIUM** | Sampled grep coverage; not exhaustive scan of all 443 files |
| Manifest drift | **HIGH** | Manifest explicitly marked "2026-02-26" audit; 6+ weeks stale confirmed |
| Subdirectory status | **LOW** | comms-agent/ and browser-use-explorer/ require interactive verification |
| Un-owned tools | **MEDIUM** | 12 inferred from daemon/skill references; could miss some |
