# Recheck against upstream
A drift corrector for the discipline that existing state does not vouch for
itself. The method — re-anchor, audit the work in flight, correct forward,
report, and the tone that firing this is not an accusation — lives in
[`${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/context/re-anchor-audit-correct.md`](../../context/re-anchor-audit-correct.md).
Read it; this file adds only what is specific to upstream-conformance
discipline.
## The discipline this re-anchors
Existing state — a config file, a code path, a runbook, an infra
definition — is evidence of *what is*, never proof that it matches the
upstream it depends on. Upstream ships new defaults, renames flags,
deprecates APIs, and obsoletes yesterday's workaround; the state that was
correct when written silently rots. Resolve the source of truth per the
method doc's ladder: if the consuming project states an
upstream-conformance rule in its own `CLAUDE.md` / `.claude/rules/`,
re-anchor THAT. Otherwise re-anchor this portable baseline:
- **Present state is not self-justifying.** "It's already configured this
way" and "the code does X" describe the state; neither shows it still
matches upstream. Conformance is a claim to verify, not to assume.
- **Compare against the CURRENT official upstream, fetched now.** Re-read
the vendor's live documentation for the surface in play this session —
never training-data recall of it, never a stale in-repo summary of it.
- **Resolve the applicable upstream version first.** When
