Incremental / Delta Audit

Read _audit-common.md and _audit-severity.md for shared protocol.

Audit only what changed. This is a meta-audit: it defines no dimensions of its own, it dispatches the diff to the owning audits (.claude/commands/audit-<name>/SKILL.md) and applies their checks to the hunks alone. Do not re-audit untouched code.

Step 1 — Scope

Default is the working tree.

Also pull the hunks for the same scope (git diff <scope>; -U6 for context) and git log --oneline <scope> for themes and milestone tags.

Step 2 — Route (mechanical)

git diff <scope> --name-only | .claude/commands/_audit-route.sh | sort -t$'\t' -k2,2r

Output is path RISK owners from .claude/commands/_audit-owners.md (first matching row wins; every listed owner applies; Dim N narrows an owner to one dimension). Then:

1. Group changed files by owner. For each owner, open its SKILL.md, read the Paths: line of each dimension, and run only the dimensions whose Paths intersect the diff — apply their checklists to the diff.
2. Risk is the floor severity for an un-disproven finding there.
3. (unrouted) paths mean the ownership map has a gap: report it as a tech-debt finding against _audit-owners.md (add a row) and route the file by judgement meanwhile.
4. A file can hit several owners (a shader + its #[repr(C)] host struct → renderer and the GPU-struct rule). Check both.

Step 3 — Delta checks on every changed hunk

• New bug — logic error, off-by-one, wrong byte width, missing version/era gate (B-splines reach FNV/FO3, not just Skyrim+).
• Contract break — public signature changed without every call site (git grep the symbol workspace-wide).
• Silent divergence — a value built at two sites and only one edited (the classic NIFAL leak: the translate_material / translate_material_with_provenance call sites, pinned by every_exterior_spawner_inserts_a_boundary_material in byroredux/src/material_translate.rs — byroredux/src/cell_loader/spawn/mesh_instance.rs, byroredux/src/scene/nif_loader.rs, and the LOD paths byroredux/src/cell_loader/{object_lod,placement_lod}.rs; defer to /audit-nifal).
• Unsafe delta — new unsafe, or a SAFETY comment that no longer matches the body (MEDIUM floor for unsafe-without-comment).
• Lock / query delta — changed RwLock scope or new multi-component query: TypeId-sorted acquisition (deadlock → HIGH). A new system acquisition must be declared at its registration under byroredux/src/boot/schedule/ (guard: byroredux/src/boot/schedule/mod.rs system_access_declaration_tests).
• Vulkan delta — new pipeline/barrier/sync, AS build/refit, descriptor write: missing barrier or wrong AS geometry → severity special rules.
• GPU-struct lockstep — a touched #[repr(C)] struct (GpuInstance/GpuCamera/GpuMaterial/GpuLight) and its mirror in every shader reading it; size/offset drift → HIGH. Guards live in crates/renderer/src/vulkan/scene_buffer/ (gpu_instance_layout_tests.rs, shader_contract_tests.rs) and crates/renderer/src/vulkan/material_tests.rs (GpuMaterial).
• Save shape — a touched Serialize type: does byroredux/src/save_io/serde_default_guard_tests.rs need a baseline refresh or a FORMAT_MAJOR bump (/audit-save)?
• Missing test — changed path with no test update; list under "Missing Tests" even if the code is right.
• Rust — Vulkan destroy order still reverse of build; new unwrap()/expect() on a recoverable path; borrow-scope changes; a new impl consistent with its family (Component storage decl, Send + Sync).

Multi-file translation chains — a diff to one tier is incomplete without the others:

• Particle emitter: typed blocks (crates/nif/src/blocks/particle.rs) → extraction (crates/nif/src/import/walk/emitter.rs) → system (byroredux/src/systems/particle.rs).
• Collision shape: a new Bhk*Shape parser (crates/nif/src/blocks/collision/) must also get a resolve_shape arm in crates/nif/src/import/collision/shape.rs, or it is silently dropped (MEDIUM; HIGH if visible content vanishes). PHYSAL consumes ragdoll constraints, so it can ripple into byroredux/src/ragdoll.rs + crates/physics/.

Step 4 — Dedup and report

Dedup per _audit-common.md § Deduplication (a regression of a closed issue is "Regression of #NNN"). Extra finding field: Changed in: <file> (commit <hash> / working tree).

Write docs/audits/AUDIT_INCREMENTAL_<TODAY>.md: (1) change summary — scope, files, themes; (2) routing map — file → owner dimensions audited; (3) findings; (4) missing tests. Then suggest /audit-publish docs/audits/AUDIT_INCREMENTAL_<TODAY>.md.
