The ## Golden Path Route Attribution Ledger section injected into every generated resources/content/sandman_handoff.md is a write-only debug dump of the route-scoring internals — a 20-row candidate table (semantic distances, structural score components, and mostly not-open-match/query-filtered/semantic-only noise rows). It has zero value for an agent picking up work; the actual signal is the next section, ## Computed Golden Path (Strategic Recommendation). It is pure context-window bloat in every handoff. Operator-directed removal (non-negotiable).
Verified safe to remove at source (not just suppress the output — the file is gitignored/generated, so suppressing the append leaves the whole apparatus running):
routeLedger is a write-only accumulator — no routing decision reads it.getInboundStructuralComponents feeds only the ledger's diagnostic column, not the real struct_score (SQL SUM).- All 9 exports of
ai/services/graph/goldenPathRouteLedger.mjs are ledger-only.
Scope:
- Delete
ai/services/graph/goldenPathRouteLedger.mjs (352 lines).
- Strip the ledger build +
recordRoute* plumbing + render/append from ai/services/graph/GoldenPathSynthesizer.mjs.
- Update
test/playwright/unit/ai/services/graph/GoldenPathSynthesizer.spec.mjs.
Preserves: the Computed Golden Path recommendation. Net-negative diff.
