[3.8.1] - 2026-06-04 — Absorption Chapter: Cleanup Confidence, Manifest Hygiene, Architecture Review

Added

Absorption chapter: cleanup planning and architecture review

• Cleanup-family output now extends each issues[] item with:
  • confidence
  • action_class
  • evidence
• Cleanup confidence reuses existing signals instead of inventing a detached
  model:
  • deficit_score
  • churn
  • coverage
  • cleanup-local evidence
• unused-deps now includes project-level manifest hygiene for:
  • pyproject.toml
  • package.json
• New cleanup issue types:
  • manifest_unused_dependency
  • undeclared_import
• boundary-violations now supports an opt-in architecture review path with a
  layered preset and explicit layer_boundary_violation findings.

Changed

• Architecture review remains cycle-only by default; layered boundary rules are
  opt-in through .slopconfig.yaml.
• Layered preset evidence now includes matched importer/importee patterns and
  the exact allow/forbid rule that triggered the finding.
• README, CLI, architecture, and configuration docs now describe the
  v3.8.1 operational surface.
