What was accomplished

• Restored the missing needs-followup-triage skill folder files so the weekly routine could run from its documented path again.
• Resolved the live backlog count through the shared helper and used that source in the report and JSON.
• Ran a dry-run first because the skill had to be restored this session. The dry-run was sane: live backlog 232, one archive candidate, no write errors.
• Ran apply mode and archived one reversible stale routine log: Cloudways Flexible Migration Verification, 2026-05-23.
• Ran a post-apply validation pass. Final auto-archive candidates remaining: 0.
• Regenerated the dashboard and refreshed the local report, JSON, and QA artifacts.

Why the session ended

The scheduled weekly triage completed its apply pass, validation pass, artifact generation, and reporting.

Current state

• Live Needs Follow-up backlog after cleanup: 231.
• Genuine action backlog by current signal rules: 28.
• Largest consolidation clusters: Litify / (general) 23, Web Design / (general) 17, Operations / Briefings / Session Logs 16, Litify / GCLID / Attribution 12, Operations / Repo / Git Health 12, Operations / Skills / MCP 12, SEO / Programmatic SEO 12, Operations / (general) 11.
• Largest remaining taxonomy drift is still broad (general) bucketing in Litify, Web Design, and Operations.

Challenges and decisions

• The canonical skill folder named in the task context was missing from the mounted Skills tree. I recovered the documented files from the recorded repo-health diff so the run could use the intended workflow instead of a fresh rewrite.
• Because the recovery happened in this run, I chose to dry-run before apply even though the abnormal-volume threshold was not hit.
• The dashboard generation initially raced the apply output. I reran it after the JSON was written.

Suggested next steps

• Tighten Litify, Web Design, and Operations keyword maps so fewer real items land in (general).
