- In short
- Root-cause auditing a degraded configuration means tracing subtly wrong output back to specific stale elements across multiple configuration mechanisms at once. Subtly wrong output with no error points to a maintenance audit across instructions, knowledge, Skills, and Memory, not a new prompt. Multiple elements can drift simultaneously, such as a standing instruction and a Memory entry both pinning a Project to a prior reporting period, even while the knowledge base already holds the correct current documents. The fix updates or removes only the specific stale elements identified, leaving correct elements untouched.
