§2. Dry-run
| Check | Value |
|---|---|
| Total builds | 141 |
Candidates (mtime +7) |
79 |
| Would-remain | 62 (≥ MIN_KEEP=3 ✓) |
| Current target in candidates | no (current is 2026-05-05; oldest candidate 2026-04-18, newest candidate 2026-04-27) |
| All candidates under STAGING_DIR | yes |
| Skipped | 0 |
Dry-run output (head/tail):

Guards: PASS. Proceed.
§3. Wrapper
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Path | /opt/incomex/dot/bin/dot-context-pack-retention-cleanup |
| Permissions | -rwxr-x--- (750) |
| Owner | root:root |
Syntax check (bash -n) |
PASS |
| Modes supported | --dry-run (default), --execute |
| Constants | RETENTION_DAYS=7, MIN_KEEP=3 |
Guards in script:
- STAGING_DIR must exist (else abort).
- WOULD_REMAIN ≥ MIN_KEEP (else abort, no deletes).
- Each candidate path must literally start with
$STAGING_DIR/(else skip). readlink -fof candidate must not equal current symlink target (else skip).
§4. Cron

| Schedule | 15 3 * * * (03:15 UTC daily) |
| Mode | --execute |
| Log | /var/log/incomex/context-pack-retention.log (appended) |

§5. Execution (initial run, performed)
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Mode | --execute |
| Dirs candidates | 79 |
| Dirs deleted | 79 |
| Dirs skipped | 0 |
| Dirs remaining | 62 |
| Current symlink target intact | YES (20260505-100008-4277ba still resolves to a real dir) |

§6. Verdict
PASS.
- Wrapper installed at
/opt/incomex/dot/bin/dot-context-pack-retention-cleanupwith 4 guards (root, min-keep, prefix, current-target). - Dry-run validated counts and current-target safety before any delete.
- Cron armed at 03:15 UTC daily, logging to
/var/log/incomex/context-pack-retention.log. - Initial cleanup executed: 79 dirs removed, 62 retained, current symlink intact, 17 MB freed.
- Steady-state expectation: ~24 build dirs (3-hour cron × 8/day × 7 days = 56–62 with some overlap), 5–10 MB.
§7. Hard boundaries — none crossed
- ❌ No KB delete
- ❌ No Agent Data mutation
- ❌ No search API patch
- ❌ No Đ43 patch
- ❌ No service restart
- ❌ No Pack 2C/IU touched
- ❌ No deletion outside
/opt/incomex/context-pack-staging/ - ❌ Current symlink target preserved
§8. Next
- 20C / Đ43:
kb_mirror_statussemantics + KB Governance Framework. - Optional: tomorrow morning, verify cron actually fired (
tail /var/log/incomex/context-pack-retention.log) and steady-state count.
20B-P4 Execution | 2026-05-05 | FS retention armed. Lifecycle complete (P1 faucet → P2 manifest → P3 purge → P4 retention).
