# task-review-staleness.sh — surface top-level todo.org tasks by review age.
#
# Usage:
# task-review-staleness.sh <todo-file> <threshold-days> # count mode (default)
# task-review-staleness.sh --list <todo-file> <count> # list mode
#
# Count mode prints a single integer: the number of qualifying tasks that
# are stale. Shared by the wrap-up health check (threshold 30) and the
# startup reminder (threshold 7) so both count the same way.
#
# List mode prints up to <count> qualifying tasks, oldest-reviewed first,
# one per line, tab-separated as: <line>\t<LAST_REVIEWED-or-NONE>\t<heading>.
# The task-review workflow uses it to pick the batch to walk each day.
#
# A qualifying task is a depth-2 (**) heading carrying a TODO/DOING/VERIFY
# keyword and an [#A]/[#B]/[#C] priority cookie. DONE/CANCELLED tasks,
# deeper headings, and cookie-less headings are not review units.
#
# A task is stale (count mode), and sorts oldest (list mode), when its
# :LAST_REVIEWED: property is missing or unparseable (NIL sorts first), or
# when its age strictly exceeds the threshold (age > N days; age == N is
# still fresh).
