# Stale PR Salvage Ledger

This ledger records useful work recovered from stale, conflicted, or closed PRs.
The rule is simple: queue cleanup closes stale PRs, but it does not discard
useful work. Maintainers should inspect the closed diff, port compatible pieces
on fresh branches, and credit the source PR.

## Classification States

| State | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| Salvaged | Useful work was ported to current `main` through a maintainer PR. |
| Already present | Current `main` already contained the useful work before salvage. |
| Superseded | Current `main` solved the same problem differently. |
| Skipped | The PR was accidental, too broad, unsafe, or too low-signal to port. |
| Translator/manual review | Content may be useful, but needs human language/domain review before import. |

## 2026-05-12 Gap Pass

The initial stale-closure ledger covered the P0 cleanup cohort and the biggest
salvage branches. A follow-up gap pass over PRs closed on 2026-05-11 found
additional useful items that were already present on `main` or still worth
porting.

| Source PR | Disposition |
| --- | --- |
| #1310 | Ported through the Django/Celery maintainer branch after confirming `agents/django-reviewer.md`, `agents/django-build-resolver.md`, and `skills/django-celery/SKILL.md` were still missing. |
| #1325 | Useful Quarkus framework material was already preserved across #1771 and #1803; current `main` contains the Quarkus rules/skills plus Java reviewer/build-resolver surfaces. |
| #1360 | Already present as `skills/security-bounty-hunter/`. |
| #1414 | Useful F# support was already preserved in #1770; current `main` contains the F# rules, reviewer agent, testing skill, install wiring, and detection tests. |
| #1415 | Already present as `skills/vite-patterns/`. |
| #1478 | Useful HarmonyOS/ArkTS support was already preserved in #1769; current `main` contains the ArkTS rules, resolver agent, CLAUDE example, and install wiring. |
| #1438 | Already present as `skills/ui-to-vue/`. |
| #1504 | Already mapped to #1776 in the durable salvage table. |
| #1508 | Already present as `skills/fastapi-patterns/` and `agents/fastapi-reviewer.md`. |
| #1603 | Useful `/plan-orchestrate` work was already preserved in #1766 with current package/catalog metadata. |
| #1631 | Already present in `scripts/hooks/suggest-compact.js` and `tests/hooks/hooks.test.js`; current code reads `session_id` from stdin JSON before falling back to `CLAUDE_SESSION_ID`. |
| #1658 | Ported through the code-reviewer maintainer branch after confirming the false-positive proof gate and common false-positive skip list were still missing. |
| #1693 | Already present as `skills/redis-patterns/`. |

## Already Present Or Superseded

| Source PR | Disposition |
| --- | --- |
| #1306 | Hook bug workarounds already exist on `main` as `docs/hook-bug-workarounds.md`. |
| #1318 | Gemini agent adaptation utility was already present on current `main`. |
| #1323 | Hook config update was already present on current `main`. |
| #1337 | Catalog count update was superseded by current catalog-count sync. |
| #1631 | `suggest-compact` stdin `session_id` isolation was already present on current `main` with hook tests. |
| #1608 | Unsafe dashboard document/terminal open handling was already present on current `main` through safe runtime helpers and project-bound document opening. |
| #1678 | Windows MCP `.cmd`/`.bat` fallback behavior was already present on current `main` with current health-check tests. |
| #1682/#1701 | Strategic compact hook-path fixes were merged directly or superseded by current docs fixes. |
| JARVIS #4/#5/#6 | Stale failing dependency-only PRs; future dependency state should be regenerated by Dependabot. |

## Skipped

| Source PR | Reason |
| --- | --- |
| #1308 | Stale zh-CN sync would rewind or delete too much current tree state; concrete selector-link fix was already present. |
| #1320 | Package-manager removal conflicts with the current npm/pnpm/yarn/bun CI policy. |
| #1341 | Very large low-signal generated change with no safe focused salvage unit. |
| #1416/#1465 | Accidental fork-sync PRs with no focused contribution. |
| #1475 | One-line Gemini CLI bridge idea was too stale and underspecified to port safely. |

## Remaining Manual-Review Backlog

Only the #1687 localization tail remains plausibly useful but unsafe to
auto-port.

Handling rule:

1. Keep #1687 in translator/manual review.
2. Split any future work by surface: agents, commands, top-level docs, release
   and count surfaces, then skills.
3. Do not import stale top-level docs that carry old version or catalog-count
   facts.
4. Do not reopen old PRs unless the original author returns with a current
   rebase; maintainer-side salvage should happen on fresh branches with
   attribution.

## Future Cleanup Rule

For every stale/conflicted PR cleanup batch:

1. Close or comment on the PR based on the queue policy.
2. Add the source PR to this ledger or a dated successor ledger.
3. Classify it as salvaged, already present, superseded, skipped, or
   translator/manual review.
4. If useful, port a small compatible slice on a fresh maintainer branch.
5. Credit the source PR and author in the maintainer PR body.
