Found while surveying system-maintenance: /usr/local/bin holds copies
that hardcode repo paths, and no section of the inventory looked there.
The installed copy is what actually runs, so grepping the repo for its
own paths never finds them.
Three were invisible until now:
periodic-system-maintenance.sh 3 paths into digital_wellbeing + hosts
hosts-file-monitor.sh 1 path into hosts
wsg-grabber PYTHONPATH into the repo root
The first runs hourly, which means the two subsystem extractions coming
next have to reinstall it -- editing the repo copy alone would leave the
live one pointing at a directory that no longer exists.

Two scripts and a baseline record, ahead of the archive/extract/flatten
campaign. Nothing moves in this commit.
report_live_state.sh enumerates everything on this machine that names an
absolute path inside the repo -- 6 systemd units, 2 /etc/guard-lib plugin
targets and 19 symlinks. Moving a subtree silently breaks these, so each
later step repoints its own references and re-runs this with --check.
check_directory_depth.sh is the 2-directory cap, modelled on
check_file_length.sh. It is deliberately NOT wired into pre-commit yet:
the tree has 556 violations, so enforcing it now would block every
unrelated commit -- the same reason file-length-cap landed after its
campaign rather than before.
Run as a dry run it sizes the work: 349 of those 556 disappear with the
planned removals, leaving 207 to flatten, ~130 of them under
scripts/single_use.
Exemptions are prefix-based (third_party/, docs/superpowers/,
.github/skills/) plus the lib/ and tests/ path segments, matched as whole
segments so libvirt/ and lib.sh are not caught. Capping lib/ and tests/
would put this gate in conflict with the 250-line cap and the
shell-coverage ratchet, which require exactly that layout.
