 /**
  * `agentic-senior-core audit:design-anti-repeat`
  *
- * User-facing CLI subcommand that runs the typography/palette anti-repeat
- * audit against a user project's working directory. The default scan root is
- * `process.cwd()` so `npx @ryuenn3123/agentic-senior-core audit:design-anti-repeat`
- * inside a user project scans that project (not the package install).
- *
- * Skip behavior is friendly: missing design-intent.json or missing ledger
- * print actionable next steps and exit 0. Typography violations and palette
- * findings (when palette is blocking, which is the default) exit 1.
+ * [DEPRECATED in 2026 Context Ops Paradigm]
+ * This script is retired because the anti-repeat ledger is now maintained
+ * as plain-text inside docs/DESIGN.md. The Adaptive Context AI agent enforces
+ * this naturally without needing regex-based JSON compliance theater.
