Maintain

Maintenance is the time-and-drift control plane. Prefer natural-language workflow names in user output. Slash commands remain shortcuts.

Modes

Intent	Mode
Process pending files or session captures	inbox
Find missing context from calendar/tasks/inbox/activity	gaps
Compare workspace to external systems	sync
Propose lifecycle archival	archive
Produce weekly review queue	weekly
Inspect git worktree clutter	worktrees

Non-negotiables

• Never delete files.
• Never auto-apply archive, memory, task, or harness changes.
• Run core extension pre-flight before every mode. Enabled extensions whose triggers match "process inbox", "run maintenance", "sync", or the active mode must be loaded before scanning files or checking external drift.
• Archive is active-set management, not punishment for old files.
• Weekly maintenance includes a Harness review section.
• Heavy scans belong in maintenance, not SessionStart.
