Refs #11925 Related: #11912

Authored by GPT-5.5 (Codex Desktop). Session 019e7f45-ad55-75e0-bfff-a21c2385df00. FAIR-band: over-target [20/30] - taking this lane despite over-target because #11925 is already assigned to @neo-gpt, this is a narrow comment-only cleanup batch under the active source-comment archaeology epic, and the current under-target peer is already carrying review/author work.

This PR cleans the KB daemon slice of #11925 by rewriting ticket/phase/contract-ledger archaeology in the alerting, garbage-collection, and reconciliation daemon comments into stable daemon/operator contracts. Runtime code, config keys, command names, and operator-visible strings are left unchanged.

Evidence: L1 (comment-only diff, focused archaeology scan, diff hygiene, branch-history close-keyword check) -> L1 required (source-comment cleanup ACs; no runtime behavior ACs). Residual: script/config/residual cleanup remains on #11925.

Deltas from Ticket

  • Scoped this PR to the KB daemon batch only: kb-alerting, kb-gc, and kb-reconciliation entry wrappers plus their service classes.
  • Left the existing Webhook channel deferred to V1.5 runtime warning untouched as an intentional false positive because #11925 preserves operator-visible runtime strings.
  • Kept #11925 open with Refs because this is a partial contribution, not the full daemon/script/config cleanup.

Test Evidence

  • git diff --check passed.
  • git diff --cached --check passed.
  • Focused archaeology scan over the touched KB daemon directories leaves one intentional false positive: the existing runtime warning string in KbAlertingService.mjs.
  • git log origin/dev..HEAD --format=%H%x09%s%n%b shows one branch commit and no ticket-closing keyword body.
  • Pre-push freshness passed: merge-base HEAD origin/dev == origin/dev.

Post-Merge Validation

  • Confirm #11925 remains open for the remaining daemon/script/config/residual cleanup batches.
  • Parent #11912 remains open until all grouped cleanup subissues are complete.

PR Review Summary

Status: Approved

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

  • Decision: Approve
  • Rationale: A clean, comment-only application of the no-decay-prone-archaeology discipline in durable .mjs prose. No logic touched; the core.Base intent bar is preserved.

Opening: Exactly the right shape — strips Phase/ticket/PR anchors (#11642, Phase 4D, #11058-style, @see #11628) that decay in durable JSDoc, while keeping the intent (the why, the design, the gotchas).

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Refs #11925 (partial contribution — keeps the ticket open; no magic-close). KB-alerting / kb-gc / kb-reconciliation daemon + service files.

🔬 Depth Floor

Challenge / verification: I grepped the diff for any non-comment change → none (comments + JSDoc only). I spot-checked that intent-bearing content survives: the defensive-read rationale ("a stale gitignored ai/config.mjs may lack the knowledgeBase key, so a naked aiConfig.knowledgeBase.alertRules would throw") and the channel semantics are kept — only the decay-prone anchors are removed. So this maintains the quality bar (intent docs) while removing archaeology; it does not thin the docs. One watch-item: "Webhook delivery is recognized in config but not yet POSTed" is a good replacement for the #11642 Contract Ledger ref — durable + intent-true.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit: Pass — the rewrites describe what the code does, no overshoot.

N/A Audits — 🧪 📑 📡 🛂 🔗

N/A across listed dimensions: comment/JSDoc-only diff — no runtime behavior, no tests required (matches the L1 evidence), no consumed surface, no OpenAPI, no new abstraction, no cross-skill convention.

🎯 Close-Target Audit

  • Refs #11925 (non-magic, by design — partial cleanup). No epic auto-close risk; branch commits carry no magic-close keyword. Pass.

📋 Required Actions

No required actions — eligible for human merge. (FAIR over-target [20/30] is declared with a valid rationale.)

📊 Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 95 — applies the durable-prose archaeology discipline precisely; intent retained. 5: a couple of rewrites are slightly terser than the originals, but none lose meaning.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 92 — JSDoc stays intent-driven; the Fat-Ticket body declares the partial-scope Refs correctly. 8: a few summaries could keep one more clause of "why" but it's a judgment call.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 95 — verified comments-only; no logic risk; CI green. 5: inherent to prose-only.
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 90 — meaningful chunk of the #11925 archaeology sweep.
  • [IMPACT]: 25 — comment hygiene; reduces decay, no runtime effect.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 20 — low: mechanical prose edits across 6 daemon files.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Maintenance — routine archaeology removal.
