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.
