From c6e90fe17eaa04cf9eb446ddc7c5f78beddc1e0a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kyle Sexton <153232337+kyle-sexton@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 19:01:37 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] docs: drop stamps from pointer records (batch 6) Remove the as-of date and recheck trigger from pointer records in the testing, discovery, knowledge, review, work-items, architecture, code-tidying, disk-hygiene, docs-hygiene and machine-health plugins, per the upstream-drift contract 5.0.0 "Required parts". Stored values (probe observations, measured figures, version gates, pinned SHAs and versions, copied strings) keep their stamps. Recorded decisions keep their named trigger and lose only the date. Text that described the old stamped record shape in docs-hygiene write-for-humans and the knowledge anthropic-docs-profile hedge rule now matches the contract.
