| Cleanup audit | After heavy prototype work | Identify archive candidates, duplicates, backups, saved files, README files, and support-file movement candidates. |
| Broken-link scan | After renaming/moving folders or files | Find stale references to old folder names, old paths, or moved report-card folders. |
