### Description
Autonomous orchestrator that scans, refactors, and eradicates technical debt at the end of the development lifecycle to achieve a **Zero Debt** codebase before production release. Applications are NOT considered production-ready until they pass all 5 dimensions of the Zero Technical Debt audit.

### 1. The 5-Dimension Technical Debt Eradication Matrix

| Debt Dimension | Detection Tool / AST Query | Threshold Gate | Autonomous Remediation Action |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **1. Dead Code & Orphaned Exports** | `npx knip --production` | `0` unused files, exports, or dependencies | Delete dead files, strip unused `export` keywords, prune `package.json` |
| **2. Type Safety Erosion** | `tsc --noEmit --strict` + AST scan for `any` / `@ts-ignore` | `0` explicit `any` or `@ts-expect-error` without ticket | Replace with Zod schemas, discriminated unions, or generic constraints |
| **3. Cyclomatic Complexity & God Functions** | Biome / AST function length & branch count | Max `60` lines/function, complexity `<= 12` | Extract pure helper functions and early-return guard clauses |
| **4. Circular Module Dependencies** | `living-codebase-ast-graph` cycle detector | `0` import cycles (`A -> B -> A`) | Extract shared interfaces/types into a leaf `types.ts` or `contracts.ts` module |
| **5. AI Slop & Placeholder Artifacts** | `node scripts/check-anti-slop.js --strict` | `0` errors, `0` warnings | Implement missing logic, add structured error handling, remove syntax comments |

### 2. Implementation Examples

#### 1. Knip Dead-Code & Dependency Audit Configuration (`knip.json`)
```json
{
  "$schema": "https://unpkg.com/knip@5/schema.json",
  "entry": ["src/index.ts", "src/cli.ts", "src/app/**/page.tsx", "src/app/**/route.ts"],
  "project": ["src/**/*.ts", "src/**/*.tsx"],
  "ignoreDependencies": ["@types/*"],
  "rules": {
    "files": "error",
    "dependencies": "error",
    "exports": "error",
    "types": "error",
    "duplicates": "error"
  }
}
```

#### 2. Automated Zero-Debt Pre-Release Gate (`scripts/verify-zero-debt.sh`)
```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail

echo "🧹 [1/4] Detecting unused files, exports, and dependencies via Knip..."
npx knip --production

echo "🔒 [2/4] Enforcing strict TypeScript compilation..."
npx tsc --noEmit --strict

echo "⚡ [3/4] Running Biome linter & formatting verification..."
npx @biomejs/biome ci ./src

echo "🛡️ [4/4] Running Sovereign Anti-Slop Strict Scanner..."
node scripts/check-anti-slop.js --strict

echo "✅ Zero Technical Debt Audit Passed: Codebase is 100% production-ready."
```

#### 3. Cyclomatic Complexity & Type-Erosion Static Analyzer (TypeScript)
```typescript
export interface TechDebtViolation {
  readonly filePath: string;
  readonly line: number;
  readonly category: 'EXPLICIT_ANY' | 'HIGH_COMPLEXITY' | 'MAGIC_TIMEOUT';
  readonly detail: string;
}

export function analyzeSourceTechDebt(
  filePath: string,
  sourceText: string,
  maxBranchesPerFile: number = 24
): TechDebtViolation[] {
  const violations: TechDebtViolation[] = [];
  const lines = sourceText.split(/\r?\n/);
  let branchCount = 0;

  for (let i = 0; i < lines.length; i++) {
    const line = lines[i];
    if (/:\s*any\b|<any>|as\s+any\b/.test(line)) {
      violations.push({
        filePath,
        line: i + 1,
        category: 'EXPLICIT_ANY',
        detail: 'Explicit "any" type erodes static type safety; use unknown + Zod or generic constraint.'
      });
    }
    const branches = line.match(/\b(if|else\s+if|case|for|while|catch)\b|\?\s*[^:?]+\s*:|&&|\|\|/g);
    if (branches) {
      branchCount += branches.length;
    }
  }

  if (branchCount > maxBranchesPerFile) {
    violations.push({
      filePath,
      line: 1,
      category: 'HIGH_COMPLEXITY',
      detail: `Branch count (${branchCount}) exceeds threshold (${maxBranchesPerFile}); decompose into pure functions.`
    });
  }

  return violations;
}
```

#### 4. Tarjan/DFS Circular Module Dependency Detector (TypeScript)
```typescript
export function detectImportCycles(
  adjacencyGraph: Readonly<Record<string, readonly string[]>>
): string[][] {
  const visited = new Set<string>();
  const activeStack = new Set<string>();
  const pathStack: string[] = [];
  const cycles: string[][] = [];

  function dfs(node: string): void {
    visited.add(node);
    activeStack.add(node);
    pathStack.push(node);

    const neighbors = adjacencyGraph[node] ?? [];
    for (const next of neighbors) {
      if (!visited.has(next)) {
        dfs(next);
      } else if (activeStack.has(next)) {
        const cycleStartIdx = pathStack.indexOf(next);
        if (cycleStartIdx !== -1) {
          cycles.push([...pathStack.slice(cycleStartIdx), next]);
        }
      }
    }

    pathStack.pop();
    activeStack.delete(node);
  }

  for (const moduleName of Object.keys(adjacencyGraph)) {
    if (!visited.has(moduleName)) {
      dfs(moduleName);
    }
  }

  return cycles;
}
```

### 3. Production Verification Checklist
- [ ] `npx knip --production` reports `0` unused files, unused exports, or phantom/unlisted dependencies.
- [ ] `npx tsc --noEmit --strict` passes with `0` errors and zero `any` or `@ts-ignore` escapes.
- [ ] Circular dependencies between domain and infrastructure modules are `0`.
- [ ] Hardcoded magic numbers and URLs are extracted into typed configuration schemas (`constants.ts` / validated `env.ts`).
- [ ] `node scripts/check-anti-slop.js --strict` passes with `0` errors and `0` warnings.

### Sovereign Execution, Token Efficiency & Invariants
| Dimension | Sovereign Mandate & Deterministic Contract |

| **KV-Cache & Token Protocol** | Pin static instructions & schemas at prompt prefix (`kv-cache-prefix-optimizer`); pass surgical `CONTEXT_MAP.md` slices (<250 tokens/call) during Swarm Fan-Out |
