chore(inbox): park the auto-empty-working proposal with a narrower fix
Craig's roam capture reached me a second time, relayed from another project, and the sender asked what already existed before treating it as new. Three of its four asks had already shipped, one of them earlier today from the same capture.
The remaining ask is an automatic sweep of a closed task's working/ files into temp/. I'm recommending against it. temp/ is cleared at the next wrap, so the sweep would destroy the artifacts that working-files.md says to rename and file into assets/. Filing is also the moment you decide what each artifact is worth keeping as, and automating it skips that.
The real gap is smaller: orphan detection only runs during a sentry fire, so a project that never runs sentry never hears about it. The parked diff adds report-only detection to wrap-up.

The genuinely new asks here are (a) the automatic soft-hook that empties working/ on task DONE, and (b) temp/ deletion wired into wrap-up. Worth checking what's already implemented vs what this adds before treating it as net-new. |
