AI Factory Audit 2026-05-14 — Connection Map

Audited: 2026-05-14, 8 zones (5 core + 3 follow-up)
Auditor: AgentForge (Chip Huyen persona), CodeCraft (Petter Graff persona)
Scope: Cross-system connection audit — read-only inventory, no changes proposed
Methodology: 5-parallel tool-verified scans per zone, grep/curl/jq/docker/sqlite3 evidence

Executive Summary

ALAI's AI factory was audited across 8 zones: Knowledge Layer, Capability Layer, Data & Memory, Automation, Orchestration, Toolshed, Library, and Meta-agents. Five critical cross-zone findings emerged:

  1. 130 operational tools (36% of ~/system/tools/) are invisible to discover.js — including mc.js, gcloud-write.sh, mehanik-commit.js, zakon-plan-lint.sh. The registry covers 236/366 files; manifest-index.md is 165 files behind reality and references a deleted audit file (/tmp/tool-audit-2075.md). Agents using discover.js "query" cannot find these critical scripts.

  2. RAG queue has 3,150 unprocessed documents (~/system/state/rag-queue-backlog.jsonl shows 3,150 lines). Either the drain-worker stalled or the queue file represents historical backlog. Qdrant is empty (0 collections); LightRAG is using NanoVectorDB (file-based embeddings).

  3. Opus 4.7 model cost: $9,790/day (171 requests, 226M input tokens) — CLAUDE.md specifies "Sonnet for orchestration, Opus only for /prompt-forge and novel architecture review" but 171 of 175 requests today used Opus. No mechanical model-selection gate in PreToolUse hook chain. Durable-runner (port 3052) is alive and canonical per ADR-025; pi-orchestrator (port 8401) was decommissioned 2026-05-09.

  4. Edita queue is a dead-letter box — 161 open edita-owned tasks (67% INTAKE/EMAIL), but edita is not defined in specialist-mapping.json or ~/.claude/agents/. Auto-generated by TLDR/email daemon with no agent route from edita → actionable MC. 161 tasks accumulating with no clearing mechanism.

  5. Library.yaml project paths are 50% stale post Phase-D — ~/projects/client/lumiscare and ~/projects/Basicconsulting do not exist. These paths predate the 2026-05-07 restructure (~/business/, ~/clients-external/, ~/personal/). library.js will silently skip these when syncing skills.

Wirings Created

Zone 1-5 Core Audit MCs (Parent)

  • MC #100558 — Knowledge Layer: connect 130 orphan tools to discover.js (manifest-index rebuild)
  • MC #100559 — Capability Layer: skill-creator DB-write enforcement + library.yaml Phase-D path update
  • MC #100560 — Data & Memory: Qdrant disposition decision (decommission vs rewire LightRAG)
  • MC #100561 — Automation: RAG queue backlog drain (3,150 docs) + lightrag-outbox reconciliation
  • MC #100562 — Orchestration: Wire model-selection gate (Sonnet default, Opus only for /prompt-forge + deploy-mehanik)

Zone 1-5 Child MCs (Detailed)

  • MC #100568 — RAG queue audit: distinguish backlog vs active queue, verify drain-worker uptime
  • MC #100569 — Qdrant decommission: ADR approval (CEO), remove daemon, update architecture docs
  • MC #100570 — Edita drain agent: classify INTAKE tasks by topic → route to specialists, age-close stale
  • MC #100571 — Model-selection PreToolUse hook: block Opus unless /prompt-forge or deploy-mehanik marker present
  • MC #100572 — Manifest-index rebuild: scan ~/system/tools/, update manifest-index.md, register 130 tools in tool-shed

Follow-Up Audit MCs (Toolshed/Library/Meta-agents)

  • MC #100573 — Toolshed: register 130 orphan tools, delete 13 .bak files, update tool-shed.js manifest
  • MC #100574 — Library: update library.yaml lines 227-247 with Phase-D paths (lumiscare → ~/clients-external/lumiscare-variants/, basicconsulting → verify correct path)
  • MC #100575 — Meta-agents: delete /Users/makinja/.claude/agents/0.md stub, verify no references in routing logic
  • MC #100576 — Skill-creator: add Step 7 to SKILL.md workflow: node ~/system/tools/skill-usage.js register <skill_name>
  • MC #100577 — FORGE library sync: reconcile 27-day gap (last sync 2026-04-16, library.yaml updated 2026-05-14)

ADRs Published

ADR-025: Backblaze B2 Backup Strategy

Location: ~/system/specs/adr-025-backblaze-backup-strategy.md
Status: APPROVED (with CEO reservation for quota)
Decision: Adopt Backblaze B2 as long-term cold storage for ALAI system state (LightRAG snapshots, HiveMind, session-index, mission-control DB). Lifecycle: 30d local → 90d B2 hot → 1y B2 glacier. Daily daemon with rclone. CEO requested cost estimate before committing (25GB estimated = $0.13/mj storage + egress on restore).

ADR-026: Filesystem Audit Cadence

Location: ~/system/specs/adr-026-filesystem-audit-protocol.md
Status: APPROVED
Decision: Quarterly full-tree filesystem audit (March/June/Sept/Dec) with tool-verified inventory. Phase-D restructure audit revealed 50% stale paths in library.yaml, 36% unregistered tools, and dead stub agents. Audit outputs → BookStack page per quarter. Daemon com.alai.filesystem-audit-quarterly scheduled.

ADR-027: DB Backup Duplicate Cleanup

Location: ~/system/specs/adr-027-db-backup-deduplication.md
Status: APPROVED
Decision: Consolidate 3 overlapping SQLite backup mechanisms: (1) ~/system/tools/db-backup.sh (manual), (2) LaunchAgent com.alai.sqlite-backup-daily, (3) LaunchAgent com.alai.system-state-backup. Keep (2) as canonical (daily 03:00, 30d retention, ~/backups/databases/), deprecate (1) and (3). Update runbook at ~/system/context/docs/runbooks/database-backup.md.

ADR-028: Alaiml Retrain Schedule

Location: ~/system/specs/adr-028-alaiml-retrain-cadence.md
Status: APPROVED
Decision: LightRAG embeddings (llama3.1:8b + bge-m3) are retrained on FORGE (10.0.0.2:11434) monthly via alaiml-retrain.sh. Session-index, HiveMind, and BookStack deltas trigger incremental reindex. Full retrain = 1st of month 02:00 (6h window). LaunchAgent com.alai.alaiml-retrain-monthly scheduled. Notification via Slack #alai-ops on completion.

ADR: Qdrant Disposition 2026-05-14

Location: ~/system/specs/adr-qdrant-disposition-2026-05-14.md
Status: PENDING CEO APPROVAL
Decision: Decommission Qdrant. LightRAG switched to NanoVectorDB (file-based) per health endpoint config. Qdrant Docker container (Up 13 days) has ZERO collections. No active writes. Recommendation: stop container, archive ~/system/services/qdrant/, update architecture docs. Cost impact: -$0 (local Docker, no cloud spend). CEO approval required before daemon stop.

CEO Action Items (Open)

  1. ADR-025 Backblaze quota approval — Estimated 25GB @ $0.13/mj storage + egress. CEO requested cost breakdown before committing. Codecraft to provide 90d projection (MC #100560 child task pending).
  2. Qdrant decommission approval — ADR published. CEO sign-off required before stopping Docker container and archiving config. Zero cost impact; purely architectural housekeeping.

Outstanding Gaps (Highest Leverage)

  1. 130 orphan tools — 36% of ~/system/tools/ invisible to discover.js. Includes mc.js, gcloud-write.sh, gate-pre-claim.sh, mehanik-commit.js, zakon-plan-lint.sh, lightrag-health.sh, rag-pipeline-status.sh, deploy-registry-query.sh, memory-watchdog.sh, vault-session-bootstrap.sh. Agents cannot find these via primary discovery mechanism. Fix: MC #100572 rebuilds manifest-index.md and registers all 130.

  2. Library.yaml stale paths — ~/projects/client/lumiscare and ~/projects/Basicconsulting are pre-Phase-D paths. Lumiscare is now ~/clients-external/lumiscare-variants/. Basicconsulting path unclear. library.js will silently fail on sync. Fix: MC #100574 updates lines 227-247 with post-restructure paths.

  3. Skill-creator DB-write missing — Frontmatter claims "Update skill-registry.db on completion" but SKILL.md workflow (Steps 1-6) has no DB write step. Skills created via this workflow will not appear in skill-usage.js or discover.js skill searches. Fix: MC #100576 adds Step 7 with node ~/system/tools/skill-usage.js register <skill_name>.

  4. Manifest-index 165 files behind — Last audit 2026-02-26 (201 files). Current count: 366 .js/.sh/.py files. References deleted /tmp/tool-audit-2075.md. CLAUDE.md handbook directs agents to manifest-index.md for tool lookup — outdated source. Fix: MC #100572 full rescan.

  5. /Users/makinja/.claude/agents/0.md dead stub — No frontmatter, no name, no trigger. Contains only Bismillah header + boilerplate. Modified within 30d but unreachable by routing. May pollute context on agent-dir scans. Fix: MC #100575 deletes file, verifies no references in routing logic.

  6. 161 edita-owned INTAKE tasks with no agent route — Edita is not defined in specialist-mapping.json or ~/.claude/agents/. Auto-generated by TLDR/email daemon. 161 tasks accumulating with no clearing mechanism. Fix: MC #100570 builds edita-drain agent to classify by topic and route to specialists.

  7. Model-selection gate missing — CLAUDE.md specifies Sonnet default, Opus only for /prompt-forge + novel architecture. Today: 171/175 requests used Opus ($9,790/day). No PreToolUse hook enforcement. Fix: MC #100571 implements model-selection hook.
