Empathy has several conflicting current-work documents, retained specialist implementations, and validation gaps that need reconciliation before a comprehensive roadmap can be trusted.

This adds a dated, evidence-based audit and its command/metadata receipt. It records 19 normalized findings, covers all 12 current open issues exactly once, and assesses both existing PRs separately from delivered main. Findings distinguish existing scope from uncreated follow-up candidates and preserve explicit uncertainty.

Parent: #118 — the Empathy backlog roadmap. The dated audit has now been reviewed: all 19 findings have issue coverage, the 12 original issues were preserved, and 10 focused follow-ups were added. The report remains an immutable assessment of its represented source revision.

Refs #51, #63, #64, #65, #79, #83, #91, #92, #98, #100, #101, #105.

Scope

• Adds only audits/empathy-completeness-20261019T132001Z.md and its validation receipt.
• Audited source: 480d70bc59c989f46abf7a323e645699b11c7d4a.
• Saved review head: 397414ada5e0064aa4d768f42ef161109d05bc00.
• Existing issues and PRs retain their state. No remediation, staged-source migration, dependency upgrade, deployment, or roadmap hierarchy is performed.

Validation

• Report metadata, all 19 finding models/history classifications, all 12 issue mappings, receipt JSON, local receipt link, and two-file-only diff verified.
• Canonical Prettier 3.9.6 formatting and Markdownlint 0.49.1 pass for the report artifacts; whitespace check and commit-header policy pass.
• Remote report and receipt contents read back byte-for-byte at the saved head.
• Audit source evidence includes 78 pinned Relay integration tests with zero skips, passing foundation/staging/garden/Identity-source checks, and actual provider publication steps. Root184-test and EgoLint31-test suites each have one attributed baseline failure; scoped Python findings are recorded.
• Report status is partial: full exact-head canonical holistic, Rust/compiler, complete frontend/browser, container, and cross-platform assurance was not completed. The dated report makes no release or whole-repository conformance claim.

Issue reconciliation and native roadmap hierarchy are recorded in #118. Preserve the report as a dated snapshot; issues remain the live work ledger. Exact-head canonical holistic review for this documentation merge is recorded below.

Exact-head merge review — 2026-10-19

Canonical holistic run 39291877919, attempt 1 scanned exact head 397414ada5e0064aa4d768f42ef161109d05bc00 with full-codebase validation. The run fails on reviewed baseline lint debt; no introduced gating finding was identified in the two new artifacts. Markdownlint and canonical JSON/Markdown Prettier checks pass for the new files.

Reviewed introduced warning-only diagnostics: 32 Proselint suggestions (primarily formatted table spacing, literal evidence wording, and terminology), a table-formatter alignment warning against the canonical Prettier output, and 17 duplication detections involving table/common Markdown text. These do not indicate duplicated executable behavior; preserve the dated report rather than rewriting its evidence to satisfy competing prose/format heuristics.

Mypy 36 errors, Bandit 10 LOW diagnostics, the staged Secretlint example and Lychee 179 failures are unchanged baseline paths; the report's immutable source/receipt links validated. Native linter logs were inspected because the generated SARIF has zero runs and cannot establish clean results. The nondefault snapshot publisher actually skipped. Artifact 12206282379, archive SHA-256 6dfddf26ed788be9f5fd32c54f84dc825ab0744d074e45e4990543ddd8c9890b.

The combined integration preview passes 114 tests with zero skips. This review permits publishing the bounded audit artifacts; it does not upgrade the dated audit's partial assurance status or accept any remediation issue.
