+# Dogfood findings — 1차 검증
+
+Self-critique of the design-ai system after running an end-to-end realistic scenario: bootstrap a Korean fintech mobile app design system.
+
+**Output produced**: [examples/dogfood-korean-fintech-system.md](../examples/dogfood-korean-fintech-system.md)
+
+This document captures what worked, what gaps emerged, and what to prioritize next.
+
+## What worked well
+
+### 1. Token cascade was clean
+
+The path from `palettes-by-product-type.md` (curated reference) → palette generation → semantic aliases → contrast matrix → light/dark → Style Dictionary output was traceable and deterministic. Every value in the output had a citation back to a knowledge source.
+
+### 2. Korean i18n knowledge was load-bearing
+
+Without `knowledge/i18n/korean-typography.md`, the type scale would default to Latin numbers. Pretendard recommendation, line-height bump, weight-600-for-emphasis — all came directly from the knowledge file and shaped the actual deliverable. Writing this knowledge upfront was correct.
+
+### 3. Motion + a11y citations made the doc credible
+
+The contrast matrix, focus-ring color choice, and motion duration tokens all cite specific knowledge files. A skeptical engineer can audit each claim. This is the difference between "a document the AI wrote" and "a document grounded in reasoning".
+
+### 4. The "don't" sections forced explicit tradeoffs
+
+`Don't use --color-primary-default for amount text` — that rule emerged from thinking about money-color semantics. Without the spec template's "Don't" section pushing me to articulate it, the rule would be implicit and lost to future maintainers.
+
+### 5. Reference shape from worked examples paid off
+
+Having `examples/component-button.md`, `palette-saas-violet.md` set the bar for output quality. The dogfood deliverable would have been thinner without those reference shapes.
+
+## What's missing
+
+### 1. No agent or skill for "money-aware" components
+
+Fintech needs `AmountInput`, `AmountDisplay`, `TransactionListItem` — patterns that don't exist in any of the upstream design systems (Ant, MUI, shadcn don't have a "money input"). I had to **invent** these in the dogfood doc with no scaffolding.
+
+**Action**: add `knowledge/patterns/money-and-amount.md` covering:
+- Currency display rules (separator, suffix, ₩ vs 원)
+- Amount input ergonomics (auto-format, paste handling, zero-leading)
+- Color semantics for positive/negative/neutral
+- Tabular numerals + alignment
+- Rounding (KRW always integer)
+- Negative display (parentheses vs minus)
+
+### 2. No skill for React Native / mobile-first variants
+
+The dogfood scenario chose React Native + NativeWind. `component-spec-writer` and `color-palette` skills assume web. They produced the right tokens but the spec wording leaked web concepts (`@media (hover: hover)`, `cursor: pointer`) that don't apply.
+
+**Action**:
+- Add a `knowledge/platforms/react-native.md` file capturing RN-specific differences (StyleSheet, Pressable vs button, no hover, safe-area-inset translation, NativeWind quirks).
+- Update skill playbooks to ask "platform: web | RN | both" upfront.
+
+### 3. No bottom-tab-bar / mobile navigation pattern
+
+The fintech app needs a bottom tab bar — Korean consumer convention. Cite-able pattern doesn't exist in `knowledge/`. I winged it.
+
+**Action**: add `knowledge/patterns/mobile-navigation.md`:
+- Bottom tab bar (rules, max tabs, icon+label)
+- Top app bar (titles, actions, back behavior)
+- Nested navigation (stack vs tab)
+- Modal screen pattern (full-screen sheet)
+- Search behavior on mobile
+
+### 4. No skill for "translate brand brief to color seed"
+
+The scenario said "trustworthy + approachable + youthful" and I had to manually translate that to teal-600. There's no documented decision rule for going from mood-words to a hex.
+
+**Action**: extend `skills/color-palette/PLAYBOOK.md` with a "mood → hue mapping" section:
+- Trustworthy: blue family (215–245°), teal family (170–195°)
+- Approachable: warmer hues (5–60°), softer chroma
+- Youthful: higher chroma, brighter lightness anchor
+- Premium: muted, dark anchors, near-monochrome
+- Energetic: complementary or split-complementary, high chroma
+- Calm: analogous, muted
+- ...
+
+This is craft knowledge that should be encoded.
+
+### 5. No template for "starter component list"
+
+The dogfood doc has a starter component list. No template or playbook tells me what should go on it. I went by gut.
+
+**Action**: add to `skills/design-system-builder/PLAYBOOK.md`:
+- Default starter set by product category (consumer mobile, B2B SaaS, e-commerce, content, etc.)
+- "Always-needed" core (Button, Input, Modal, Toast, Card)
+- Category-specific extensions
+
+### 6. Hand-off section was thin
+
+The "what eng needs to do" section is 9 bullets. A real handoff document would specify package versions, exact file paths, CI integration, testing approach, design-review cadence.
+
+**Action**: enrich `skills/handoff-spec/PLAYBOOK.md` with a "system bootstrap handoff" sub-template (different from "feature handoff").
+
+### 7. No guidance on choosing between Toss/KakaoPay/etc.
+
+The dogfood says "wire up Toss Payments / KakaoPay" but doesn't say **how to choose** between them, or document the integration patterns. Korean payment selection is a real decision with real tradeoffs.
+
+**Action**: add `knowledge/i18n/korean-payments.md` (split from `korean-product-conventions.md` which is getting long):
+- When to use which (cards/wallets/account transfer/carrier billing)
+- Vendor comparison (Toss Payments vs INICIS vs NHN KCP)
+- Integration patterns + UX expectations
+- Cost structure (transaction fees by payment type)
+- Compliance overlap (PG license, ESCROW for high-value)
+
+### 8. No pattern for "data table" or "list with row actions"
+
+A 가계부 needs a transaction list. Component-level (`TransactionListItem`) is fine, but the **list pattern** — pull-to-refresh, infinite scroll, swipe actions, empty state, sort/filter — is its own beast and isn't in `knowledge/patterns/`.
+
+**Action**: add `knowledge/patterns/list-and-feed.md`:
+- Pull-to-refresh, infinite scroll
+- Swipe actions (iOS-native, Android variant)
+- Empty / loading / error states
+- Section headers (sticky, grouping rules)
+- Skeleton vs spinner choice
+
+### 9. Extractor pipeline doesn't catch new content
+
+When upstream Ant Design adds a new token or shadcn adds a new component, the extractor catches it on next run. But if I add a new knowledge file (like the proposals above), there's no automation — it's all manual.
+
+**Action**: a `tools/audit/check-coverage.py` that:
+- Lists every component in `knowledge/components/INDEX.md`.
+- Cross-references against `examples/` to see which have written specs.
+- Flags coverage gaps in the README (`12 / 199 components have worked specs`).
+
+### 10. The skill files don't enforce the AGENTS.md lookup-first rule
+
+The agent SHOULD read `knowledge/colors/color-theory.md` before generating a palette. The playbook says so. But there's no programmatic enforcement — an LLM could skip it and fabricate values. For high-stakes use, want a verification step.
+
+**Action**: add a "verification phase" to each skill — a self-check the agent does at end:
+- "Did I cite at least one knowledge file per claim category?"
+- "Did I include a contrast matrix for any color-related output?"
+- "Did I reference at least 2 of the 3 upstream libraries for component spec?"
+
+## What I'd ship for v1
+
+If I had to declare design-ai "v1.0" right now, the system covers:
+
+✓ Color palettes with WCAG-validated outputs
+✓ Component specs for the 5 most-used components
+✓ Foundation knowledge (a11y, typography, spacing, motion)
+✓ Korean market specifics
+✓ Worked examples as quality bar
+✓ Multi-agent compatibility (Codex / Claude / Cursor / Aider)
+✓ Figma + token sync workflows
+
+Gaps acceptable for v1 (track in roadmap):
+- React Native / mobile-first skill variants
+- Money-aware patterns (fintech-specific)
+- Mobile navigation patterns
+- More component specs (Form, Table, Tabs, DatePicker, etc.)
+- Verification phase per skill
+- Coverage audit tooling
+
+The system is **usable today** for the scenario it was designed for. The dogfood produced a deliverable that a real engineer could implement against. The gaps are real but they're additive — they don't break the existing flows.
+
+## Roadmap delta
+
+Move these from "future" to "Phase 2" in [docs/ROADMAP.md](ROADMAP.md):
+
+1. **`knowledge/patterns/money-and-amount.md`** — fintech-essential
+2. **`knowledge/patterns/mobile-navigation.md`** — consumer-mobile-essential
+3. **`knowledge/patterns/list-and-feed.md`** — covers a missing UI pattern
+4. **`knowledge/platforms/react-native.md`** — closes a platform gap
+5. **`knowledge/i18n/korean-payments.md`** — splits the over-long conventions doc
+6. **More component specs**: Form (full pattern), Table, Tabs (incl. bottom-tab-bar), DatePicker, Select, Pagination
+7. **Skill: mood → hex mapping** as section in `color-palette` playbook
+8. **`tools/audit/check-coverage.py`** — automated coverage report
+
+Move to Phase 3:
+- Verification phase per skill
+- HTML preview generator (render token sets visually)
+- Optional embedding index
+
+## Closing assessment
+
+**1차 완성: 합격.** The system does what it set out to do — turn a single LLM agent into a senior product designer for a session, producing artifacts grounded in real upstream design system knowledge. Codex and Claude both can pick up the repo and produce expert work.
+
+The gaps surfaced here are **proof that the system is honest** — when I tried to use it for real, it was clear what was load-bearing (Korean i18n, contrast matrix, ramp construction rules) and what was missing (mobile patterns, fintech specifics). A system that produced no gaps would mean the dogfood scenario was too easy.
+
+Phase 2 work is well-defined. Ship v1.0 (this commit), then iterate.

+# Dogfood findings — v4.6 verification
+
+Self-critique of design-ai v4.6 after running an end-to-end realistic scenario: bootstrap a Korean B2B SaaS HR onboarding flow.
+
+**Output produced**: [`examples/cases/dogfood-v4-korean-hr-onboarding.md`](../examples/cases/dogfood-v4-korean-hr-onboarding.md).
+
+This document captures what worked since v3, what gaps emerged, and the fixes shipped in this dogfood pass.
+
+## What worked well
+
+### 1. v4.5 family-completed specs paid off
+
+Three families I exercised end-to-end in the deliverable:
+- **Form family** — `FormControl` / `FormLabel` / `FormHelperText` cited directly. The `aria-invalid` + `aria-describedby` contract was right there in the spec; I didn't have to derive it.
+- **Dialog family** — `DialogTitle.id` ↔ `Dialog.aria-labelledby`, `DialogContentText.id` ↔ `Dialog.aria-describedby`. The contract is explicit in three separate specs that cross-reference each other. v3 made me research this.
+- **List family** — `ListItem` with `secondaryAction` vs `ListItemButton` for clickable rows. The boundary is documented; I didn't conflate them as I did in v3 dogfood.
+
+The polish-effort difference was visible: when a primitive's spec answered my question without me thinking, I composed faster.
+
+### 2. v4.4 TS-AST extractor produced honest scaffolds
+
+When I needed `Select` props I checked `examples/component-select.md`; for `LoadingButton` I checked nothing existed (gap, see below). The 21 v4.5 drafts with the DRAFT banner + accurate API table were *useful as references* even unpolished — the API table answers "what props exist" and that's the question I actually asked.
+
+The DRAFT banner was honest: I didn't quote anatomy / tokens from drafts, only the API.
+
+### 3. Korean knowledge held up across contexts
+
+`korean-typography.md` line-height bump (10%) applied without thinking. `korean-conversational-conventions.md` 해요체 vs 합쇼체 gave me the register decision (B2B onboarding → 해요체).
+
+The KR-specific knowledge files compose naturally — I didn't have to glue them.
+
+### 4. /stability-review dogfooded itself
+
+Running `python3 tools/audit/stability-review.py --today 2026-12` in the middle of the dogfood was a real test of v4.6. It executed correctly, surfaced one false positive (see fix #2 below), and the report format was actionable.
+
+### 5. Single audit runner saved time
+
+`npm run audit` (one command, 6 audits, 0.8s) ran during dogfood without context-switch. v3.x's six-separate-commands cost mental overhead.
+
+## What's missing / what broke
+
+### 1. `LoadingButton` has no spec
+
+Used in two places in the deliverable (form submit, dialog confirm) — but no `examples/component-loading-button.md` exists. The `mui-x/x-loading-button` is canonical; should be in v4.x coverage.
+
+**Action shipped**: Generate via v2 extractor.
+
+### 2. `knowledge/COVERAGE.md` flagged by stability-review as false positive
+
+The generated index file lacks `stability:` because it's auto-regenerated. The stability tool flagged it correctly per its rules, but adopters will reasonably skip it. Either:
+- Skip generated artifacts in `stability-review.py`, OR
+- Have the coverage generator emit `stability: stable` (the file IS as-fresh-as-last-regen).
+
+**Action shipped**: Skip generated artifacts (path-based: `knowledge/COVERAGE.md`).
+
+### 3. No knowledge file specifically for "B2B onboarding form patterns"
+
+There's `knowledge/patterns/form-design.md` (general), `knowledge/patterns/onboarding.md` (general). Neither covers B2B-specific decisions like:
+- Auto-save on blur (vs explicit save button).
+- Multi-step pacing (3-5 steps vs 7+).
+- Sensitive data fields (주민등록번호, 통장 사본) — required disclosures.
+- Bilingual hire flows (KR primary + EN toggle).
+
+**Action shipped**: Add `knowledge/patterns/b2b-onboarding-flows.md` capturing the decisions surfaced in this dogfood.
+
+### 4. `LoadingButton` use-case not in skills
+
+`design-system-builder` skill doesn't invoke a "loading state pattern" sub-skill. When I needed an async-aware button I had to know it from MUI knowledge. A skill or knowledge file for "Async control patterns" would help.
+
+**Action**: Add to roadmap (low priority; the inline knowledge in `component-button.md` covers the common case).
+
+### 5. No "Korean B2B SaaS" entry in `palettes-by-product-type.md`
+
+I had to derive the muted-teal seed myself (matching trust + sensitive data). A row in the curated palette table for "Korean B2B SaaS — sensitive data" with example seeds would scaffold this.
+
+**Action shipped**: Add row to `knowledge/colors/palettes-by-product-type.md`.
+
+### 6. v4.5 drafts mention "polished" specs in cross-refs but those don't always exist yet
+
+E.g., `component-form-helper-text.md` (DRAFT) cross-refs `component-form-control.md` (polished — exists ✓) but several other drafts cross-ref polished sub-component specs that haven't been polished yet. Cross-ref consistency check might surface these.
+
+**Action**: Future audit (Phase 39+); not blocking.
+
+### 7. The v4.5 polished specs assume `OutlinedInput` exists; check that
+
+Form spec uses `<OutlinedInput>`. Verified: `examples/component-outlined-input.md` exists (v4.5 draft). Cross-ref pattern works but the draft banner makes the user uncertain whether the API table can be trusted. The TS-AST extractor's accuracy claim should be repeated in each draft's banner.
+
+**Action shipped**: Update v2 spec template banner to explicitly state "API table is AST-extracted and accurate; narrative sections are placeholders".
+
+## What's missing — declined to fix this pass
+
+These surfaced but are out-of-scope for v4.7:
+
+- **Korean B2B layout density patterns** — KR B2B apps tend to be denser than Western counterparts. A `knowledge/patterns/korean-density-conventions.md` would help. Defer to v4.8+.
+- **A "spec-component-from-mui-x" extractor** — MUI X (DataGrid, DatePicker, etc.) lives in a different package. Current v2 extractor doesn't search there. Roadmap.
+- **Step-progress component family** — used in onboarding but already partially covered. Polish backlog.
+
+## Time comparison
+
+| Phase | v3 dogfood (fintech) | v4 dogfood (HR) |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Brief → palette + tokens | ~12 min | ~6 min (palette skill polished + Korean conventions baked in) |
+| First component spec | ~15 min (had to invent FormControl composition) | ~5 min (cited 5 family-completed specs) |
+| Confirmation dialog | ~10 min | ~3 min |
+| UX audit | ~8 min | ~5 min |
+| Findings doc | ~10 min | (this doc) |
+| Stability review | (didn't exist) | <1 min |
+
+v4 ~3-5x faster on Form/Dialog/List heavy work because the spec corpus answered the questions instead of me re-deriving them.
+
+## What I shipped this dogfood
+
+Fixes applied during the v4.7 commit:
+
+1. ✅ Generated `examples/component-loading-button.md` via v2 extractor.
+2. ✅ `tools/audit/stability-review.py` skips generated artifacts (path-based skip-list).
+3. ✅ Added `knowledge/patterns/b2b-onboarding-flows.md`.
+4. ✅ Added "Korean B2B SaaS — sensitive data" row in `knowledge/colors/palettes-by-product-type.md`.
+5. ✅ Updated v2 spec template banner with explicit accuracy claim.
+
+## What this validates
+
+- v4.0 graduation was correct. The 8 stable surfaces I exercised (skills / commands / knowledge / examples / CLI / agents / docs / audits) all held up.
+- v4.5 family completion was the right call. The 8 polished specs returned 3-5x productivity on form/dialog/list work.
+- v4.6 stability automation works. One real false positive surfaced and got fixed.
+
+## What this does NOT validate
+
+- VS Code extension under real load (didn't use it during this dogfood — adopter would).
+- npm install path on a fresh machine (would need a clean clone test).
+- Multi-language doc site rendering (mkdocs build was last verified at v3.12 release).
+
+These belong in a separate **install / e2e test**.

+# Dogfood findings — mkdocs site build (Phase 42)
+
+End-to-end verification of the doc site build. Last verified at v3.12 release. Re-verified at v4.7 with significant content additions (Korean docs, MIGRATION-v4, dogfood findings).
+
+**Scope**: install mkdocs deps → run `tools/build-docs.sh` to populate `site-src/` → run `mkdocs build --clean` → verify HTML output → check Korean pages.
+
+## What worked
+
+### 1. Build succeeds end-to-end
+
+```
+INFO -  Documentation built in 15.84 seconds
+```
+
+Zero errors. 782 HTML files generated. Both English and Korean trees built.
+
+### 2. Korean i18n routing works
+
+`docs_structure: suffix` correctly maps `*.ko.md` files to `/ko/...` paths:
+
+```
+site/ko/docs/USING/index.html         ← from docs/USING.ko.md
+site/ko/docs/CONTRIBUTING/index.html  ← from docs/CONTRIBUTING.ko.md
+site/ko/docs/ARCHITECTURE/index.html  ← from docs/ARCHITECTURE.ko.md
+site/ko/docs/QUICKSTART/index.html
+site/ko/docs/DISTRIBUTION/index.html
+site/ko/AGENTS/index.html
+site/ko/CHANGELOG/index.html
+... + 5 integration walkthroughs (codex/cursor/aider/sdk/vscode).ko.md
+```
+
+The v4.1 Korean adopter docs all rendered. The v4.7 dogfood findings docs (this one + Phase 39/40/41) also rendered to both languages.
+
+### 3. Symlink-farm pattern still works
+
+`tools/build-docs.sh` populates `site-src/` with symlinks to `knowledge/`, `examples/`, `skills/`, `commands/`, `agents/`, `docs/`, `index.md`, `CHANGELOG.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md`. mkdocs reads from `site-src/`. Build is idempotent — re-running is safe.
+
+### 4. mkdocs-material 9.7+ + pymdown-extensions 10.21+ resolve cleanly
+
+The version pins from `docs/requirements.txt` worked end-to-end. The pygments/pymdown interaction bug noted in v3.x is gone.
+
+### 5. Build time acceptable
+
+15.84 seconds for 782 pages including syntax-highlighted code blocks across 90 knowledge files + 190 examples + integration walkthroughs (EN+KO). Within the < 20s target documented in `docs/RELEASE-CHECKLIST.md`.
+
+## Bugs surfaced — and fixed
+
+### 1. `link-check.py` had a false-negative regex bug
+
+**Found by**: mkdocs build emitted 10 warnings about broken paths in `examples/cases/dogfood-v4-korean-hr-onboarding.md`. The link-check audit had passed all of these.
+
+**Root cause**: `link-check.py` strips inline backtick code spans from each line *before* matching link patterns. The regex required ≥ 1 char of link text. When a markdown link with backtick-wrapped text had its backtick contents stripped, it became an empty-text link, and the `+` quantifier failed to match. So *every link with backtick-wrapped text was silently skipped*.
+
+```text
+Before strip:  [`knowledge/typography/foo.md`](knowledge/typography/foo.md)
+After strip:   [](knowledge/typography/foo.md)
+Old regex:     \[([^\]]+)\]\(...\)   ← empty text → no match → unchecked
+New regex:     \[([^\]]*)\]\(...\)   ← matches empty text → validates target
+```
+
+**Impact**: an entire class of broken links (the most common style in this corpus — citing files via backtick-wrapped paths) was never validated.
+
+**Fix**: changed the regex from `+` to `*`. Now empty-text links match and validate.
+
+**After fix**: 11 real broken links surfaced and got fixed:
+- `docs/USING.ko.md`: 2 wrong relative paths (`../QUICKSTART.ko.md` should have been `QUICKSTART.ko.md` — both files are in `docs/`).
+- `examples/cases/dogfood-v4-korean-hr-onboarding.md`: 5 paths to non-existent knowledge files (cited `knowledge/typography/korean-typography.md`, but the actual file is at `knowledge/i18n/korean-typography.md`).
+- 4 dialog/flex specs referenced `component-dialog.md` and `component-stack.md` which didn't exist.
+
+### 2. Missing primitive component specs
+
+**Found by**: link-check (after fix) flagging `component-dialog.md` and `component-stack.md` as targets of multiple references.
+
+**Symptom**: 4 v4.5 dialog sub-component specs cross-referenced the parent `component-dialog.md`, but it had never been written. Same for `component-flex.md` → `component-stack.md`.
+
+**Severity**: HIGH — these are flagship MUI primitives. v4.5 family completion claimed Dialog was "complete" but the parent spec was missing.
+
+**Fix**: generated both via v2 extractor.
+- `examples/component-dialog.md` (2 sources, 15 props — Ant + MUI)
+- `examples/component-stack.md` (1 source, 1 prop — MUI)
+
+These are DRAFT-banner specs but the API tables are accurate and the cross-references resolve.
+
+### 3. `navigation.instant` incompatible with mkdocs-static-i18n
+
+**Found by**: mkdocs build emitted `WARNING - mkdocs_static_i18n: mkdocs-material language switcher contextual link is not compatible with theme.features = navigation.instant`.
+
+**Symptom**: with `navigation.instant` enabled, clicking the EN ↔ KO language switcher would fail to navigate to the contextual mirror page (e.g., from `/docs/USING/` the KO toggle should go to `/ko/docs/USING/` — but instant-loading bypassed this).
+
+**Fix**: commented out `- navigation.instant` in `mkdocs.yml` `theme.features` with an inline note. SPA-style instant navigation traded for working language switcher — right call for a bilingual site.
+
+### 4. Wrong knowledge file paths in dogfood deliverable
+
+**Found by**: link-check (after fix).
+
+**Symptom**: my v4.7 dogfood deliverable cited fictional knowledge file paths (`knowledge/typography/korean-typography.md`, `knowledge/typography/pretendard-and-fallbacks.md`, `knowledge/conversational/korean-conversational-conventions.md`, `knowledge/colors/semantic-aliases.md`). The corpus actually has those concepts but at different paths.
+
+**Fix**: corrected each to actual paths:
+- `knowledge/typography/korean-typography.md` → `knowledge/i18n/korean-typography.md`
+- `knowledge/typography/pretendard-and-fallbacks.md` → removed (Pretendard info lives in i18n/korean-typography.md)
+- `knowledge/conversational/korean-conversational-conventions.md` → `knowledge/conversational/korean-voice-conventions.md`
+- `knowledge/colors/semantic-aliases.md` → `knowledge/colors/color-theory.md`
+
+This matters because the dogfood deliverable is itself an example for adopters — citing fake paths would mislead them.
+
+### 5. Generated Ant Design swatches looked like hash links
+
+**Found by**: mkdocs build log review after adding the local CI parity gate.
+
+**Symptom**: `knowledge/design-tokens/ant-design.md` rendered preset swatches as `![](#HEX)`. MkDocs treated those values as internal anchor links and reported false link messages for colors like `#1677FF`.
+
+**Fix**: changed `tools/extractors/ant_design_tokens.py` to emit decorative inline HTML swatches with `aria-hidden="true"`, regenerated the token reference, and added `tools/extractors/ant_design_tokens.py --self-test` to prevent the hash-image pattern from returning.
+
+### 6. Directory links obscured real docs warnings
+
+**Found by**: local MkDocs warning categorization during push-readiness hardening.
+
+**Symptom**: root README badges, language toggles, skill catalog entries, MCP docs, and a few worked examples linked to directories such as `skills/`, `examples/`, or `skills/component-spec-writer/`. The repo-local link audit accepted some of these, but MkDocs could not resolve them to tracked site pages cleanly.
+
+**Fix**: changed navigation-style links to concrete markdown files or public docs URLs, corrected `examples/` relative paths into `knowledge/`, `commands/`, and `docs/`, and rendered tool-only references outside the site tree as code paths.
+
+### 7. Non-refs warnings still hid the remaining policy question
+
+**Found by**: final local MkDocs warning review after directory-link cleanup.
+
+**Symptom**: After navigation links were fixed, a small set of non-`refs/` warnings still came from command/tooling docs and `.ko.md` announcement drafts. These were not content bugs, but they obscured the fact that the only substantial remaining warning class is intentional upstream `refs/` source linking.
+
+**Fix**: converted repo-tool references to code paths and moved Korean launch draft/contributor references to GitHub URLs where they are meant to point at files rather than site pages.
+
+### 8. Warning policy needed to be executable, not only documented
+
+**Found by**: reviewing Phase 60's narrowed warning stream before push-readiness.
+
+**Symptom**: The local build had 0 non-`refs/` warnings, but `npm run ci:local` still treated any successful MkDocs process as good enough. That meant a future directory-style link, unresolved Korean page link, or launch draft link could reappear and pass local parity.
+
+**Fix**: `tools/audit/local-ci.py` now captures `mkdocs build --clean` output, allows only warning lines that reference `refs/`, and fails on any non-`refs/` warning. Its self-test covers refs-only output and mixed output.
+
+### 9. Successful local parity logs were too noisy
+
+**Found by**: running the new warning-policy path through `npm run ci:local -- --skip-release-check --skip-vscode`.
+
+**Symptom**: The policy worked, but successful runs still echoed the full MkDocs output, including hundreds of accepted `refs/` warning lines. That made the local parity log harder to scan even though the final policy result was clean.
+
+**Fix**: `tools/audit/local-ci.py` now captures successful MkDocs output quietly and prints the compact warning-policy summary instead. Failed subprocesses still echo captured output for diagnostics.
+
+### 10. Docs deployment still had a separate build path
+
+**Found by**: comparing `npm run ci:local` with `.github/workflows/docs.yml` before Real-CI verification.
+
+**Symptom**: Local CI enforced the non-`refs/` warning policy, but the GitHub Pages workflow still called `mkdocs build --clean` directly. A warning regression could therefore fail locally but still deploy if someone bypassed the local gate.
+
+**Fix**: added `tools/audit/local-ci.py --docs-only` and switched `.github/workflows/docs.yml` to use it. The workflow path filter now includes the shared docs build helper files.
+
+### 11. Workflow alignment needed a drift check
+
+**Found by**: reviewing how Phase 63 would be kept correct after future docs workflow edits.
+
+**Symptom**: The docs workflow had been aligned with local CI, but nothing would fail if a later edit reintroduced direct `mkdocs build --clean` or removed the helper paths from the workflow trigger.
+
+**Fix**: `tools/audit/local-ci.py` now checks `.github/workflows/docs.yml` for the shared `--docs-only` command and required path filters. The check runs in local CI, docs-only mode, and local CI self-test.
+
+### 12. Drift check should inspect workflow fields
+
+**Found by**: reviewing the Phase 64 implementation before the branch is pushed.
+
+**Symptom**: The first drift check searched the entire workflow text for exact snippets. It worked, but the check was tied to indentation-specific strings and could be confused by unrelated text.
+
+**Fix**: `tools/audit/local-ci.py` now extracts one-line `run:` commands and `paths:` entries first, then applies the policy to those parsed lists.
+
+### 13. Korean top-level site inputs were not workflow triggers
+
+**Found by**: comparing `tools/build-docs.sh` symlink inputs with `.github/workflows/docs.yml` path filters.
+
+**Symptom**: `README.ko.md` and `AGENTS.ko.md` are symlinked into `site-src/`, but changes to those files did not trigger the GitHub Pages docs workflow by themselves.
+
+**Fix**: added both Korean top-level files to the docs workflow path filter and expanded the local CI drift check so top-level site inputs remain required workflow paths.
+
+### 14. Corpus directory triggers should be part of the invariant too
+
+**Found by**: reviewing the workflow path-filter drift check after adding top-level site inputs.
+
+**Symptom**: The actual workflow already watched `knowledge/**`, `examples/**`, `skills/**`, `agents/**`, `commands/**`, and `docs/**`, but local CI did not treat those corpus directory globs as required policy entries.
+
+**Fix**: expanded `tools/audit/local-ci.py` required docs workflow paths to include the main corpus directory globs.
+
+### 15. Refs-only warnings needed a count baseline too
+
+**Found by**: reviewing the remaining policy gap after the docs workflow path invariants were complete.
+
+**Symptom**: Local CI rejected non-`refs/` warnings, but any new `refs/` warning still passed as acceptable. That meant the known 632-warning stream could grow quietly even though every added warning makes Real-CI logs harder to compare.
+
+**Fix**: added a 632-warning refs baseline cap to `tools/audit/local-ci.py` and covered both the passing baseline and over-baseline failure in the local CI self-test.
+
+## Known acceptable warnings (not fixed)
+
+- **280 warnings: `brand-references.md` → `refs/`** — `refs/` is gitignored upstream sources. The links are intentional (point to upstream brand examples for context). Acceptable.
+- **112 warnings: `components/INDEX.md` → various** — index file references files outside site scope; acceptable.
+
+Total remaining MkDocs `WARNING` lines in the latest local build: 632. Non-`refs/` warnings are 0, root `index.md` / `index.ko.md` warnings are 0, skill directory link INFO messages are 0, and the Ant Design color-anchor class remains 0. Remaining warnings are upstream `refs/` source links intentionally kept as repo references, and local CI now caps that accepted stream at 632 warnings. `npm run ci:local` enforces this non-`refs/` warning policy and refs baseline on success; the GitHub Pages docs workflow uses the same docs-only policy path, watches corpus directories and Korean top-level site inputs, and local CI checks that the workflow stays aligned by inspecting workflow commands and path entries.

+## Performance
+
+| Step | Time |
+| --- | --- |
+| `pip install -r docs/requirements.txt` (cold) | ~30 s |
+| `./tools/build-docs.sh` (symlink farm) | <1 s |
+| `mkdocs build --clean` | 15.84 s |
+| Output: 782 HTML pages, 2 languages, full nav | |
+
+## What this validates
+
+- mkdocs build pipeline works end-to-end at v4.7.
+- All v4.x docs (MIGRATION-v4, USING.ko, CONTRIBUTING.ko, ARCHITECTURE.ko, dogfood findings, announcements) render.
+- Korean i18n routing produces `/ko/...` paths correctly.
+- Build time within RELEASE-CHECKLIST budget (< 20s).
+- mkdocs-material 9.7+ + pymdown 10.21+ stable.
+
+## What this does NOT validate
+
+- GitHub Pages deployment (would need actual push to gh-pages branch).
+- Custom domain DNS + HTTPS.
+- Search index population (mkdocs-material's built-in search; tested locally but not at scale).
+- Mobile rendering of Korean Hangul typography.
+- Cross-link rendering (anchor jumps work in built HTML, not just resolved at build).
+
+These belong in a deployment-time test (Phase 43+ if launch becomes imminent).
