+- description: Deno residue in this repository after the Bun ruling. `governance-reusable.yml` still runs `denoland/setup-deno`, which INSTALLS DENO ON EVERY ESTATE REPO ON EVERY RUN; `deno-ci{,-reusable}.yml` still ship the failing `deno / Deno CI`; `scripts/check-ts-allowlist.deno.js` is a worked Deno example in scripts/; and `docs/migrations/npm-to-deno-template/` is a live recipe pointing repos AT the retired runtime. Owner ruled Deno REMOVED and Bun permanent (said three times, reaffirmed 2026-08-07). Must reach 0. Excludes */bindings/deno/, which is interop for OTHER people's Deno code and a separate question.

+Things *found and measured but not fixed* during the 2026-08-07 estate CI/CD
+sweep.
 
-This is the human-readable companion to
+NOTE: This is an *audit*, not a Debtfile. The Debtfile is
+`.machine_readable/Debtfile.a2ml` — a probe-backed, monotone-decreasing integer
+register with its own spec (`docs/DEBTFILE-SPEC.adoc`), runner and CI ratchet.
+Countable items from this audit belong THERE, where the number can be
+re-measured instead of believed; items awaiting a ruling stay here. This file
+was briefly named `Debtfile.adoc` at the repository root, which collided with
+that mechanism — renamed to the `docs/audits/` convention.
+
+It is also the human-readable companion to
 `.machine_readable/agent_instructions/debt.a2ml`. Every item below states what
 was measured, when, and *what decision it is waiting on* — because most of what
 remains is not blocked on effort, it is blocked on a ruling.
