Cascade-update sweep: purged stale CIOS/Paperclip references from 15 live-config files (EA workspace, 8 skills, memory, hookify, vendor-sync.sh) while preserving 3 categories of intentional historical

Decision

Cascade-update sweep: purged stale CIOS/Paperclip references from 15 live-config files (EA workspace, 8 skills, memory, hookify, vendor-sync.sh) while preserving 3 categories of intentional historical records (error-playbook lessons, core-platforms eradication milestone, plural CIOs audience demographic). Two operational gaps deferred for separate authorization: 7 dead cron entries (scripts MISSING) + 2 Prometheus alerts watching stale logs.

Rationale

2026-05-06 runtime eradication (commit fbb348c) was clean for runtime + permanent-MCP slot but missed Tier 1 Directive 3 (cascade-update on state changes). Documentation drift caused EA agent to surface stale “CIOS runs on Paperclip” claim 4 days post-eradication. Sweep was indicated by AJ’s diagnostic question + zero-compromise feedback. Sandbox correctly blocked operational scope-creep (mass crontab rewrite); deferred items surfaced with backups in place + clear authorization ask. Bias audit flagged anchoring + framing — applied: I distinguished disconfirming evidence (false positive plural CIOs vs system CIOS) and avoided both extremes (minimum-touch vs maximum-rewrite). Verification: rg sweep across all live config returned zero true matches after exclusions.
