backlog-hygienelisted

Scan the pre-plan idea inbox + the in-flight plan manifests for stale items and missing dispositions, enforce lifecycle timeouts, and produce a hygiene report. Delegates table regeneration and archival to the librarian. Use as a scheduled maintenance task or on demand. Trigger on: "backlog hygiene", "clean up backlog", "/backlog-hygiene", "stale backlog items", or any request to audit backlog freshness.

# Backlog Hygiene Periodic sweep over the manifest-derived backlog. Flags funnel/lifecycle timeouts, missing dispositions, and satellite-file health, and produces a hygiene report so the active backlog stays trustworthy. **It is a reporter + delegator, not a mutator of the backlog view** — it never deletes, never moves rows, and never writes `_backlog.md`. The backlog is a **manifest-derived read replica** (Plan 81 SP13/SP14/SP15): - `{paths.plans_root}/_backlog.md` is the unified rendered view, owned exclusively by `librarian:backlog-index` (`writers_allowed: ["librarian"]` per `governance/plans-rules.json :: root_files`). - `{paths.plans_root}/_archive.md` is owned exclusively by `librarian:plan-archive` (event-driven `closed → archived` promotion, 3-day cooldown). - Pre-plan ideas live as `{paths.plans_root}/_inbox/<slug>.md` notes (funnel status `new / triaged / briefed`). - In-flight plans are `{paths.plans_root}/<NN>-<slug>/manifest.json` with `lifecycle.status`. - Session history lives at the satellite `{backlog.progress_dir}/<slug>.md`. Hygiene reads all of these, computes findings, and **delegates** the two mutating operations it used to perform itself: - **Table regeneration** → `librarian:backlog-index` (recommended, or run `/librarian backlog-index`). - **Archival of closed plans** → `librarian:plan-archive` (recommended, or run `/librarian plan-archive`). Curly-brace tokens (`{paths.plans_root}`, `{backlog.progress_dir}`, `{paths.hooks_state}`) resolve
