    Surgical Pass: Legacy Tool Mascot Identity Concentration

    Maintenance ID: 0.1.00002.fnf-id-001 Date: 2026-08-07 Scope: content/mascots/ (039, 049, 051, 052, 053, 054)

    Summary

    Executed maintenance pass FNF-ID-001 concentrating the identity of six legacy tool mascot records in content/mascots/. Obsolete template furniture (hobbies, credentials, equipment lists, character commentary, fake certifications, trademark jokes, and Sora prompts) was removed to ensure mascots function strictly as failure signatures rather than branding characters.

    Obsolete Identity Furniture Removed

    • Patchy Mx.CLI: Removed Origin Myth, Defining Failure/Trauma, Aspirational Goal, Signature Quirk, Relationship Network, Day in the Life Vignette, Traits, and Oboe Subroutine Lore character headers.
    • Updatey Delaybot: Removed Credentials, Fun Facts, Usage Notes, Mascot Loadout, Bricky/Kindy Addendum Comments, and Sora Prompts / Sora Preset.
    • Zooki Lockjaw: Removed fake certifications, Fun Facts, Usage Notes, decorative loadout equipment (whistle, work gloves), character commentary, and Sora Prompts / Sora Preset.
    • Octomerge: Removed species/credential framing, Fun Facts, Usage Notes, Canonical Associations, and mock Legal Status / trademark jokes.
    • Tabby Fields: Removed Credentials, Fun Facts, Usage Notes, R.A.T.S. syndicate lore, Addendum Comments biting threats, and Sora Preset.
    • Hammy Navstack: Removed Credentials, Usage Notes, Council Decree menu authorization, Canonical Associations, Sora Preset, condiment restrictions, and loadout equipment.

    Quirks & Failure Mechanisms Preserved

    • Patchy Mx.CLI: Preserved recursive changelog parsing, swallowed API specification, YAML debris in markdown, TODO: Clarify residue, and document rot instability.
    • Updatey Delaybot: Preserved perpetual rollout stalling, 99% progress bar freezes, restart promises, and administrative postponement.
    • Zooki Lockjaw: Preserved lockfile contention, server cage lockout, key custody, brass keyring, and cage ledger marked WHO HOLDS THE LATCH.
    • Octomerge: Preserved Git versioning collapse, recursive rebases, accidental forks, detached HEADs, abandoned repo states, and multi-branch limb representation.
    • Tabby Fields: Preserved tabular field integrity enforcement, merged cell formatting violations, CSV/TSV delimiter confusion, formula logic corrections, and clipboard/red pen inspection tools.
    • Hammy Navstack: Preserved literal hamburger layer mapping to route depth, /logout misrouting to /birth-records, overstacked menus, and PDF rendering failure.

    Ambiguous Material & Poetry

    • All poetry sections (Council Limericks, Archived Limericks, Aphorisms, Haiku Log, Limerick Log, Haiku Records) across all six files were preserved without alteration under the poetry boundary directive.

    Deeper-Review Candidates

    • None. All six target mascots exhibited clearly stateable failure mechanisms and required no deferral for deeper review.

    Verification Performed

    • Executed ./bin/validate_graph.sh to confirm graph relationships and closed frontmatter schema compliance.
    • Ran ./scripts/filed_ids.py to ensure canonical ID policy compliance across modified records.
