Knowledge Linting

The LLM writes the wiki. Something has to keep it honest — catching broken links, orphaned pages, and concepts quietly explained twice, before a self-updating knowledge base rots from the inside.

KL001 Orphaned pageA note nothing links to. Written once, never found again.

KL002 Broken wikilinkA [[target]] that no longer resolves to a real page.

KL003 Duplicate conceptTwo pages describing the same idea under different names.

KL004 Stale entryA page its own sources have already moved past.
