# /sweep-now
Run all three sweeps in sequence and append one result to
`vault/memory/SWEEP_LOG.md`.
## Checks
1. Scan active Delegation Tracker items. Flag live items whose last meaningful
update is older than 14 days.
2. Read `HEAT_INDEX.json` `cold_bottom_20`. For each note last touched more than
60 days ago, propose a dormant flip. Do not apply it unattended.
3. Scan vault wikilinks and list references whose target does not exist.
## Output
Append:
```markdown
### YYYY-MM-DD - full sweep
- Delegation tracker: <N> stale items flagged (<stable references>)
- Dormant-note candidates: <N> proposed
- Broken wikilinks: <N>
- Notes inspected: <wikilink list or none>
- Open issues for the operator: <list or none>
```
Append only after all three scans complete. The nightly controller independently
checks the newest real H3 date header.
## Cadence
The default cadence is seven days. A nightly skip is legal only when
`SWEEP_LOG.md` exists, contains a valid real dated H3 header, and the controller
derives that it is within cadence. Missing or malformed evidence is failure.
## Boundaries
- Do not auto-fix broken links.
- Do not auto-flip dormant notes.
- Do not auto-close stale work.
- Keep every proposal human-reviewable.
