Inline comments:
In @.github/specs/012-audit-governance-structure/AUDIT_REPORT.md:
- Around line 319-321: Update the reference-validation summary in
AUDIT_REPORT.md to match the 11 table rows: report 11 total references, 8 valid
(73%), and 3 non-valid (27%). Preserve the table’s distinct BROKEN, MIGRATED,
and STATUS UNKNOWN statuses rather than grouping all non-valid references as
broken or outdated.
In @.github/specs/012-audit-governance-structure/spec.md:
- Around line 121-122: The Phase 1 requirements in
.github/specs/012-audit-governance-structure/spec.md lines 121-122 must limit
Phase 1 to identifying and reporting duplicate sections and validating
references; move approved consolidation work to Phase 2 while preserving the
required audit findings. In
.github/specs/012-audit-governance-structure/research.md line 298, update the
phase assignment so AUDIT_REPORT.md is generated in Phase 1 rather than Phase 2.
In @.github/specs/012-audit-governance-structure/tasks.md:
- Line 173: Update the task entry T071, “Update AGENTS.md to remove second
occurrence of Label Creation Governance,” so it is deferred to Phase 2 and
marked incomplete until AUDIT_REPORT.md receives approval; keep governance-file
changes out of the Phase 1 audit work.
In @.github/specs/013-spec-folder-refactor/contracts/MAINTENANCE.md.contract:
- Around line 57-68: Renumber the workflow items in the maintenance contract to
continue sequentially after directory selection and creation: use steps 3, 4,
and 5 for the SpecKit workflow, CATALOG.md update, and approval gate,
respectively.
In @.github/specs/014-agents-restructure-consolidate/quickstart.md:
- Line 16: Update the branch name in quickstart.md and the corresponding spec.md
input description from refactor/agents-resturcturing to
refactor/agents-restructure-consolidate, matching the formal branch fields in
spec.md and plan.md.
In @.github/specs/014-agents-restructure-consolidate/spec.md:
- Line 203: Align the Jest directory convention across the specification,
research.md, and migration documentation by choosing one authoritative layout
and updating all references consistently. Explicitly state whether the existing
scripts/validation/__tests__/ suite is included in migration scope, preserving
the selected convention for JavaScript agents.
In @.github/specs/014-agents-restructure-consolidate/tasks.md:
- Around line 72-97: The T028 and T044 test paths contain literal `**tests**`
markers. Replace them with the selected JavaScript test-directory convention,
using the same convention consistently in both paths, and resolve that
convention before hard-coding any `tests/` directory.
In @.github/specs/CATALOG.md:
- Line 41: Restore spec 012’s original Created date to 2026-04-20 in both
representations: update the index row at .github/specs/CATALOG.md lines 41-41
and the metadata block at lines 194-196, while retaining Updated: 2026-09-18.
In `@skills/ai-readiness-orchestrator/references/skill-routing-rules.md`:
- Around line 5-16: Correct every changed badge destination in

complete URL, preserving the existing badge labels and targets.
In
`@skills/faq-and-chatbot-source-curator/assets/chatbot-safe-faq-register-template.md`:
- Around line 5-16: Correct all twelve badge destinations in the badge blocks at
lines 5-16 of

skills/faq-and-chatbot-source-curator/references/faq-taxonomy.md,
