@@ -71,7 +71,7 @@ For every STALE task, edit it in the main thread:
 
 - Add a dated reconciliation note (=*** YYYY-MM-DD Day @ HH:MM:SS -ZZZZ <what changed>=) or update the offending line in place.
 - Mark statuses that moved; rewrite "waiting on X" lines whose X resolved.
-- Fix dead/renamed =file:= links.
+- Fix dead/renamed =file:= links. When you fix or verify a link that has a matching dead-link entry in the project's lint-followups file, reap that entry in the same edit so the two artifacts don't drift. Scope this strictly to dead-link entries. Do not pull general lint cleanup into the audit, which mixes two concerns and slows it.
 - *Consolidate duplicates* — when several tasks track the same thing, fold them into one home and delete the duplicates (per the user's call on which is canonical).
 - *Ensure priority is set per the project scheme.* The top of the project's =todo.org= should carry the priority legend (=[#A]= through =[#D]=). Every task should carry an explicit priority cookie. If a cookie is missing, or no longer matches the reconciled facts, assign the right level per the legend. If the level is unambiguous from the body, do it autonomously; if it's a judgment call (especially the [#A] / [#B] line for important-but-not-urgent work), flag NEEDS-USER. Also enforce the [#A]-discipline rule from the legend — an [#A] task without a =SCHEDULED:= or =DEADLINE:= line is mis-graded and is either down-graded to [#B] (when reconciled facts say "important but not urgent") or surfaced as NEEDS-USER for the user to date.
 - *Ensure a type tag is set.* Every task carries one type tag from the project's tag legend (typically =:feature:= / =:chore:= / =:spec:= / =:bug:=). If missing or wrong, assign or correct it from the body when the type is unambiguous. If two tags fit (a refactor that also fixes a bug; a spec that's also a chore), flag NEEDS-USER rather than picking one silently.
