Artifact Lint
Scans a project's generated-artifact surface (08-Generated/ + promoted folders) and runs five graph-integrity checks — orphan, sibling duplicate, stale draft, displaced content, version chain — reading the horizontal-lineage frontmatter (parent_artifact / sibling_topic / supersedes) so duplicate, orphaned, stale, or displaced generated content is surfaced for operator approval instead of silently accumulating. Read-and-recommend only — no automatic file moves or deletes. Triggers: "lint the generated artifacts", "check 08-Generated for duplicates", "scan for orphaned artifacts", "find stale drafts", "run artifact lint", "are there duplicate generated artifacts", "check the artifact lineage graph", "version-chain check the generated folder."
