doc-sync
The problem
Doc automation stores one “last synced” commit and bumps it at the end of a run, which marks every document in the repository current — including the ones it never opened. The claim is false, permanent, and invisible.
The decision
Certify per document rather than per run: each verified doc carries its own stamp, and the global baseline is demoted to a scheduling hint that asserts nothing. Anything never checked stays visibly stale forever.

the staleness audit is a shell script — cited paths existence-checked, stamps read back — so it can fail a build with no API key
