Routine Residue Remediation

Status: Delivered
CAS: CAS-3604
Delivered: 2026-05-18

What changed

Routine residue cleanup policy was tightened: stale routine artifacts and false lifecycle residue are now treated as operational debt and cleaned with explicit ownership and closeout notes.

Why it matters

Prevents stale routine state from being misread as active blockage.
Keeps recurring operations auditable during CI-offline/manual-dispatch windows.
Reduces continuation noise from residue-only task states.

Operational anchors
