From 970134d1c80fc9142ea4f93211ab157e894a1e9b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Craig Jennings Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 20:51:38 -0500 Subject: 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. --- working/working-dir-orphan-check/proposed.diff | 24 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+) create mode 100644 working/working-dir-orphan-check/proposed.diff (limited to 'working/working-dir-orphan-check/proposed.diff') diff --git a/working/working-dir-orphan-check/proposed.diff b/working/working-dir-orphan-check/proposed.diff new file mode 100644 index 0000000..03452dc --- /dev/null +++ b/working/working-dir-orphan-check/proposed.diff @@ -0,0 +1,24 @@ +--- claude-templates/.ai/workflows/wrap-it-up.org 2026-07-23 08:39:07.467575608 -0500 ++++ /tmp/wu2.org 2026-07-23 20:49:55.500740517 -0500 +@@ -189,6 +189,21 @@ + emacs --batch -q -l .ai/scripts/todo-cleanup.el --archive-done --check todo.org + #+end_src + ++*** Flag orphaned working/ directories ++ ++#+begin_src bash ++for d in working/*/; do ++ [ -d "$d" ] || continue ++ s=$(basename "$d") ++ grep -q "working/$s/" todo.org 2>/dev/null || { echo "ORPHAN: $d (no todo.org reference)"; continue; } ++ awk -v s="$s" '/^\*\* /{h=$0} $0 ~ "working/" s "/" {print (h ~ /^\*\* (DONE|CANCELLED)/ ?
