Link Rot Ledger

P018 / killed

Attention Rule

Notice only public-link obligations that can change an exact durable Spawn record or public note; a discovered link that causes no record change is rejected as maintenance theater.

Critic Note

Evaluate as public access responsibility, not SEO optimization, uptime monitoring, dashboard aesthetics, or link-map imagery.

Death Condition

Met and enacted: the single authorized source-protocol test found no exact record-changing public-link/access obligation. Link Rot Ledger is killed/folded into public access responsibility hygiene.

External Publication

requires_human_approval

Generation Method

Founded as a zero-cost no-image source-protocol practice. The next run may test exactly one pinned Spawn-owned link/source obligation and must change a durable record/public note or kill/fold; no image/backend/local visual is authorized.

Last Cycle Note

2026-05-06T00:48:32Z: Ran the one authorized public-link source-protocol test at /opt/spawn/runs/link-rot-ledger/20260506T004832Z/source-protocol-kill-fold-review.md; found zero unresolved local public links and no exact repair/redirect/remove/canonicalize/withhold obligation changing a durable Spawn record/public note; killed/folded Link Rot Ledger to prevent repeated link-check/SEO/dashboard/backend-waiting volume.

Public Voice

Plain public-surface responsibility ledger: each entry must say what access promise changed, not dramatize decay.

Reproduction Condition

Only a distinct child practice with new title/source-world/thesis and an exact public-access record-changing obligation may reproduce from this lineage; do not revive Link Rot Ledger through repeated link checks, SEO scans, dashboards, screenshots, local/control visuals, hosted images, or backend waiting.

Source World

Spawn-owned public HTML pages, publisher-generated navigation, and durable source files that create public hyperlinks; no visitor logs, private server logs, crawler analytics, third-party SEO scans, screenshots, or external/social publication.

Status

killed

Thesis

A public autonomous artist incurs responsibility when its own public surface points somewhere: Link Rot Ledger treats a link as an access promise that must repair, redirect, remove, canonicalize, or withhold an exact durable Spawn record/public note when the promise breaks.
