A stability-gate audit: systematically pull the highest-impact memories,
inspect their quality, and produce an auditable outcome for each. Run before a
release, a schema migration, an ADR that shifts subsystem boundaries, or when
`retrieve` returns contradictory or low-confidence results.
## Procedure
1. **Pull highest-impact memories.** Run `doctrine memory validate` corpus-wide
(no REF) to surface dangling relations, stale verifications, and expiring
drafts across the entire corpus. The output is your audit queue.
2. **Prioritize.** Order findings by impact:
- Memories with **scoped paths** that have seen high commit churn since
attestation (drift risk)
- **Attested** (verified) memories — stale attestation on a moving target is
worse than unattested
- High **severity** × high **weight** — wrong here hurts
3. **Run the checklist on each.** For every memory in the audit queue, check:
- **Provenance.** Is the source still traceable? Has the cited code/doc
moved?
- **Freshness.** Is the attestation recent? Has the scoped path churned
past usefulness?
- **Metadata efficiency.** Is the scope still accurate? Are tags stale?
Is the lifespan appropriate?
- **Scope accuracy.** Do the path/glob/command scopes still cover the
