Applies the document contract from
docs/plans/2026-08-20_stack-docs-flatten-and-alignment.md section 3, partially:
`kind` and `status` only. `parent` is deliberately held until the flatten in
section 4 lands, so that 127 documents do not have to be re-pointed by hand
when docs/fleet/NORTH_STAR.yaml moves to docs/NORTH_STAR.yaml.
Scope, measured on origin/next at 63069149:
127 live docs = all *.md under docs/ minus docs/archive/ minus docs/_old_structure/
104 stamped here
19 held operator judgement (plan section 9), worklist in the same PR
3 held the SUPERSEDED TASKS.md stamps, which cite the moving path
1 untouched docs/fleet/FLEET-DOCTRINE.md, already stamped in W1
Kinds applied: 54 guide, 34 record, 9 spec, 6 tracking, 1 projection.
Every row carries a confidence and a one-line rationale in the worklist.
Two collisions with the existing state, both flagged rather than resolved:
1. docs/README.md:150-160 already documents a front-matter convention
(title/type/audience/status/source_of_truth) with its own allowed values.
It is applied to 4 of 127 files. Its `status` vocabulary is
current|draft|deprecated|historical; the new contract's is active|superseded-by.
The key collides. This commit lets the new contract win and rewrites
`status: current` to `status: active` on those 4 files, keeping their other
legacy keys untouched. No code reads any of them: `git grep source_of_truth`
outside docs/ returns nothing. docs/README.md still prescribes the old
convention and is an operator row, so it is not edited here.
2. Two of the plan's 20 operator rows are YAML files, not markdown
(docs/fleet/examples/roster-v2.yaml, docs/openapi-tess.yaml), and the
contract's front-matter form has no defined meaning for a .yaml document.
That gap also applies to docs/fleet/NORTH_STAR.yaml, the source of truth
itself. Raised in the worklist.
A third row from the plan, docs/fleet/north-star.md, no longer exists: W1
renamed it to docs/fleet/FLEET-DOCTRINE.md.
Verification: 104/104 parse with the expected kind and status in front matter;
the check was shown to reject a wrong kind before it was trusted. The diff
removes 4 lines total, all of them `status: current`.
Pipeline 2534 (018d96a), two test-step failures plus the format failure
root-caused by rev-code-01 (id 202):
1. pipefail-early-exit.test.mjs: main's window wrote the test but never
wired scripts/*.test.mjs into its own CI, so its tools/install.sh pipes
were never executed against it; next's test wiring runs them and flags
two load-bearing pipes. Both rewritten pipefail-safe via process
substitution (newest_matching_file ls|head, check_fleet_transport
sed|head|tr|awk). Test now 7/7 locally.
2. verify-release.test.mjs: merge kept main's 9-command ci.yml sanitization
but next's 4-command canonical stage. Canonical updated to mirror ci.yml
exactly (9=9, order verified). upgrade-guard checked equal (4=4).
3. format: docs/reports/quality/1099-pipefail-sweep.md (from main f158be8)
prettier-formatted under pinned 3.8.1.
Enumeration guard re-verified: population 60, enumerated 45, excluded 16.
