Markdown Maintenance Workflow Log – 2026-03-16

1. Trigger Summary

• Initiator: Release Workflow (Step 10 validators) for E7:S01:T08
• Validator: scripts/documentation/validate-documentation-consistency.py --path docs/project-management/kanban/kboard.md --check cross_reference
• Outcome: Baseline debt detected (56 broken references) stemming from historic relative links on kboard.md.

2. Scope & Classification

• Touched Files (scoped): docs/project-management/kanban/kboard.md
• Baseline Debt Identified: Yes – legacy references to /docs/project-management/kanban/... paths that resolve outside validator scope.
• Regression? No. All reported links predate this release (confirmed via git log -- docs/project-management/kanban/kboard.md).

3. Evidence

• Command:

  python3 scripts/documentation/validate-documentation-consistency.py \
    --path docs/project-management/kanban/kboard.md \
    --check cross_reference

• Result: 56 broken_reference entries (full JSON in /tmp/doc-term.json snapshot captured during run).

4. Immediate Actions

• Documented debt here to unblock RW per T07 acceptance criteria.
• Flagged need for scoped vs baseline validator split (FR-058 / T07 workstream).

5. Follow-up Tasks

Reference	Description	Owner	Status
E7:S01:T07	Implement scoped/baseline validator modes + remediation plan	Cascade → Documentation Agent	OPEN
E7:S01:T05	Track markdown debt reductions via periodic MMW cycles	Markdown Maintenance Task	OPEN

6. Sign-off

• Operator: Cascade (2026-03-16)
• Reviewer: ____________________

Store supporting artifacts (command output, diffs) alongside this log if needed for audit. Future releases must reference an updated MMW log or remediation before skipping baseline failures.

7. Addendum – E7:S01:T09 Kanban Template Governance Sweep

• Timestamp: 2026-03-16T15:34:00Z

• Initiator: E7:S01:T09 RW prep (UXR-005 spacing rule enforcement)

• Scope: kboard.md, fbuboard.md, kanban-structure.md

• Command:

  python3 - <<'PY'
  import pathlib, sys
  paths = [
      'docs/project-management/kanban/kboard.md',
      'docs/project-management/kanban/fbuboard.md',
      'docs/project-management/kanban/kanban-structure.md',
  ]
  # (see repo history for full script; checks multi-line bullets for blank-line separation)
  ...
  PY

• Result: All scanned files satisfy the "single blank line between multi-line MoSCOW bullets" rule after fixing E24:S03:T01-T03 entry on the Won't Have list. Exit code 0 recorded.

• Evidence: Script output stored in terminal history (Spacing rule satisfied for scanned files.) plus validator JSON from scripts/documentation/validate-documentation-consistency.py --path docs/project-management/kanban/kboard.md --check cross_reference. Diff references: kboard.md lines 129-140.

• Follow-up: TODO added to scripts/documentation/validate-documentation-consistency.py (E7:S01:T09) to automate this check inside the canonical validator.
