 /**
- * lib/findings/audit-ledger.js — Cross-run audit findings ledger.
- *
- * Without a committed memory of what a prior sweep already saw, every
- * `/audit-to-stories` run re-litigates the whole backlog from zero: it cannot
- * tell a brand-new finding from one already filed, an intentionally-rejected
- * finding from an unseen one, or a genuine regression from routine churn. The
- * ledger is that memory. It is a small committed JSON file
- * (`baselines/audit-ledger.json`, the same envelope shape as the arch-cycles
- * baseline — `{ $schema, generatedAt, entries: [] }`) keyed by each finding's
- * shared-helper fingerprint plus a location-based `semanticKey` that survives a
- * reworded title.
- *
- * Each entry carries a lifecycle `status`:
- *   - `new`          — seen, not yet filed as an Issue.
- *   - `filed`        — an Issue was opened; re-detections are known, not new.
- *   - `fixed`        — the tracking Issue closed as completed.
- *   - `accepted-risk`— the tracking Issue closed as `not_planned`; the finding
- *                      is deliberately rejected and is SUPPRESSED on re-detect.
- *   - `regressed`    — a `fixed` finding re-appeared (closed-completed Issue,
- *                      finding detected again).
- *
- * `reconcileLedger` folds a fresh scan and the live Issue states onto the prior
- * ledger, returning the next ledger plus a per-finding classification whose
- * `action` (`propose` | `known` | `suppress` | `regressed`) tells the caller
- * whether to open a Story. Pure: filesystem access is confined to the tiny
- * {@link readLedger} / {@link writeLedger} helpers, which take an injectable
- * `fs` so tests never touch disk.

- *
- * For each cluster:
- *   1. Adapt the cluster onto the canonical finding shape and route it with the
- *      shared `routeFinding` against existing Issues (via the injected search
- *      port). This dedups against work already filed.
- *   2. On a `new` decision, open the follow-up ticket through the injected
- *      `createStory` (`/mandrel-plan`) or `createPlanSeed` (`/mandrel-plan --seed`) port,
- *      chosen by {@link targetForCluster}. On any other decision, link back to
- *      the matched Issue rather than creating a duplicate.
- *   3. Stamp the resolved `routedTo` link onto every contributing ledger item
- *      (mutating the item objects in place, so a `qa-session` append persists
- *      the link).
- *
- * All GitHub side-effects flow through the injected ports — there is no network
- * I/O in this module, so the unit test runs offline.
+ * On `new`, create via the target's port; otherwise link to the matched
+ * Issue. Items are mutated in place so a `qa-session` append persists the link.
