Stale Reference Regression Checklist

This file tracks terms that should return zero results in docs/ after the mt#772 cleanup.

Run each grep below — it should return 0 hits. If any return results, investigate and update the relevant doc.

# Removed task backends (should not appear as backend names)
grep -rn "json-file" docs/
grep -rn "json-storage" docs/
grep -rn "markdown backend" docs/
grep -rn "markdown-file" docs/

# Removed class names
grep -rn "JsonFileTaskBackend" docs/
grep -rn "MarkdownTaskBackend" docs/
grep -rn "JsonStorageProvider" docs/

# Removed config examples
grep -rn 'tasks-backend markdown' docs/
grep -rn 'backend.*"md"' docs/
grep -rn '"json-file"' docs/

# Legacy sessiondb backend (removed; only sqlite and postgres are valid)
grep -rn 'sessiondb:' docs/ | grep '"json"'

Known valid uses (do not flag)

• markdown as a file format (e.g., .md files, "markdown format") — NOT a backend name
• json as a data format or output flag (e.g., --json, JSON output) — NOT a backend name
• --from json in sessiondb migration — legacy path from old json sessiondb, documented as legacy
• References inside historical documents (marked with > **Historical document**) — leave as-is
• md# or json# inside historical/context notes explaining what was removed
