# Lint — 2026-07-14
Automated daily cycle. Pages scanned: 269 (209 content, 60 meta).
**Ingest this cycle: none** — no new theology-relevant vault content in the last 24 hours.
This pass re-scoped the checks and found that the historical issue count was dominated by
false positives. Raw counts and real counts are both given below. No fixes were applied —
this run is read-only. Recommended fixes are listed for a directed pass.
## Scan-integrity note (affects prior runs)
The vault scan initially returned **zero files across all six source directories**. That was a
false negative, not a quiet day. `find` on this machine is `bfs`, which rejects GNU-style
relative timestamps (`-newermt '24 hours ago'` → *"Invalid timestamp"*). The error was
suppressed and the empty output was indistinguishable from "nothing new."
Re-run with ISO 8601 (`-newermt '2026-07-13T15:17'`) the scan works. Result stands: the only
files touched in 24h are in `2. Areas/Loop Reports/` (CI triage, dashboards, uptime,
pipeline) — none theology-relevant. **Nothing to ingest.**

> No `Lint 2026-07-13` page exists. Yesterday's run may have skipped, or may have hit this same

> suspect.
## Findings
### 1. Dead links — 203 raw → ~60 unique missing pages
The prior baseline (~448) counted **meta-files**: `Lint *.md` pages quote wikilinks inside
their own issue lists, so every historical link gets re-reported as dead, forever, compounding
each run. Excluding meta-files and resolving **vault-wide** (Obsidian resolves across the whole
vault, not just this wiki folder) drops it to 203 real dead links / ~60 unique targets.
Cross-vault links that were *previously miscounted as dead* and are in fact fine:
`[[Faith & Theology MOC]]` and `[[NAR and Charismatic Authority Critique MOC]]`
(→ `3. Resources/MOCs/`), `[[Magnifica Humanitas]]` (→ Readwise).
Most-referenced genuinely missing pages:
| Refs | Target | Status |
|---:|---|---|
| 11 | `[[William Branham]]` | known carry-over stub — now the wiki's single largest gap |
| 6 | `[[2026-05-19 Bethel's Book Platformed a Wolf]]` | title/link mismatch (see §2) |
| 5 | `[[Laudato Si']]` | page exists — mismatch (see §2) |
| 5 | `[[Fratelli Tutti]]` | page exists — mismatch (see §2) |
| 4 | `[[William J. Seymour]]` | known carry-over stub |
| 4 | `[[Rerum Novarum]]` | no page anywhere |
| 3 | `[[John Alexander Dowie]]` | known carry-over stub |
| 3 | `[[Pete Enns]]`, `[[Rachel Held Evans]]` | on CLAUDE.md "Key Entities to Track"; no page |
| 3 | `[[Cameron Trimble]]`, `[[Otis Moss III]]` | no page |
> [!question]
> `[[Pete Enns]]` and `[[Rachel Held Evans]]` are named in CLAUDE.md's key-entity list and
> referenced from `index.md` + `concepts/deconstruction.md`, but have no entity page. Rachel
> Held Evans appears nowhere in the vault at all. Worth a directed pass.
### 2. Orphans — 8 reported, but 6 share one root cause
The orphan list and the dead-link list are the **same defect seen from both ends**. A page is
reported orphaned (nothing links to it) while its intended inbound links are simultaneously
reported dead — because the links use a display title that matches neither the filename nor
any alias.
| Orphaned page | Links point at | Actual `title:` |
|---|---|---|
| `sources/2020-10-03-fratelli-tutti-francis.md` | `[[Fratelli Tutti]]` ×5 | "Fratelli Tutti (Encyclical) — Pope Francis" |
| `sources/2015-05-24-laudato-si-francis.md` | `[[Laudato Si']]` ×5 | "Laudato Si' (Encyclical) — Pope Francis" |
| `sources/2026-04-12-st-johns-ucc-holy-humor-thomas-sunday.md` | `[[2026-04-12 St Johns UCC]]` ×10 | "St. John's UCC — Holy Humor Sunday / Thomas Sunday (2026-04-12)" |
| `sources/2026-04-21-cft-inclusive-language-hymns.md` | `[[2026-04-21 CFT — Inclusive Language Music and Hymns]]` ×3 | "2026-04-21 Christian Feminism Today — Inclusive Language Music and Hymns" |
| `sources/2026-04-21-modern-reformation-movements-music.md` | `[[2026-04-21 Modern Reformation — A Movement's Music]]` ×3 | "2026-04-21 Modern Reformation — A Movement's Music: Should We Invite NAR Worship…" |
| `sources/2026-04-21-cmp-convergence-music-project.md` | `[[2026-04-21 CMP — What Is the Convergence Music Project]]` ×2 | "2026-04-21 Convergence Music Project — What Is CMP" |
**Root cause:** Obsidian resolves `[[wikilinks]]` by **filename or `aliases:`** — *not* by the
frontmatter `title:` field. None of these six pages has an `aliases:` field, so every inbound
link fails. The pages are not unlinked; their links are misaddressed.
**Recommended fix:** add `aliases:` to each page listing the link text already in use. One edit
per page clears an orphan *and* its dead links together (~28 dead links total).
**Structural fix:** the Page Format block in `CLAUDE.md` does not include `aliases:` in the
required frontmatter. Adding it would stop this class recurring — pages are consistently created
with a long descriptive `title:` while other pages link to a short natural name.
Genuine orphans (no inbound link, no mismatch): `sources/1978-celebration-of-discipline-foster.md`,
`sources/2023-russell-moore-losing-our-religion.md`.
### 3. Frontmatter — 2 pages, metadata silently not parsed
- `concepts/apostolic-authority.md`
- `concepts/darvo.md`
Both have complete, correct frontmatter — preceded by a **leading blank line**. YAML frontmatter
must start on line 1; with a blank line first, Obsidian does not parse it. `type`, `tags`, and
`related` on these two pages are invisible to Obsidian's graph, search, and Dataview, while
looking perfectly fine in the editor.
**Fix:** delete the leading blank line. One character each.
### 4. Forbidden words — 110 raw → 27 real prose → mostly legitimate
Scoping to content pages only (excluding the `Lint *.md`/`log.md` files that enumerate the
wordlist by design) gives 110. Excluding link targets, code, block quotes, quoted phrases, and
capitalised proper nouns gives **27** across 15 pages.
Most of those 27 are accurate citation, not slop:
- **`paradigm` ×6 in `sources/2015-05-24-laudato-si-francis.md`** and ×2 in `concepts/personalism.md`
— "the technocratic paradigm" is *Laudato Si'*'s own technical term. Quoting it is correct.
- **`paradigm` in `concepts/nar-fallacy-taxonomy.md`, `entities/mike-bickle.md`** — the wiki
quoting NAR's own coinage ("punishment paradigm") while critiquing it. Correct.
- **`ecosystem`** in NAR pages — used in the movement-network sense the sources use.
Earlier raw counts were dominated by three collision classes worth recording:
> [!contradiction]
> The style wordlist collides with this wiki's own domain vocabulary.
> - **`foster`** in `concepts/spiritual-disciplines.md` is **Richard Foster**, author of
> *Celebration of Discipline* — a surname, flagged as a banned verb.
> - **`hidden`** in `concepts/latter-rain.md` is the source slug
> `2026-05-27-hidden-ladder-modern-apostasy-youtube` — a filename, not prose.
> - **`discover`/`unlock`** appear where the wiki *describes* Latter Rain's own claims about
> consecration levels unlocking gifting.
>
> A style rule aimed at AI slop cannot distinguish a banned word from a theologian's surname or a
> quoted primary source. Any future automated word check must exempt proper nouns, quotes, and
> link targets, or it will keep penalising accurate citation.
Genuinely worth a copy-edit (ordinary prose, no quotation): `robust` in `concepts/religious-trauma.md`,
`navigate` in `sources/2023-russell-moore-losing-our-religion.md`, `optimize` in
`sources/2023-10-28-mike-bickle-allegations-public-disclosure.md`, `landscape` in
`concepts/seven-mountain-mandate.md`, `discover` in `concepts/spiritual-disciplines.md`.
## Recommended next pass (in value order)
1. **Add `aliases:` to the 6 mismatched source pages** — clears 6 orphans + ~28 dead links.
2. **Delete the leading blank line** on `apostolic-authority.md` and `darvo.md` — restores metadata.
3. **Add `aliases:` to the CLAUDE.md Page Format block** — stops the mismatch class recurring.
4. **Create `[[William Branham]]`** — 11 inbound refs, the largest single gap.
5. **Create `[[Pete Enns]]` + `[[Rachel Held Evans]]`** — named key entities, still missing.
6. Optional: 5 real copy-edits in §4.
7. Consider excluding `Lint *.md` + `log.md` from future scans at source — the compounding
self-reference is what produced the 657 baseline.
## Carry-over
Unchanged from [[Lint 2026-07-12]]: source-criticism / documentary-hypothesis concept node at
threshold; feminist-hermeneutics and prosperity-gospel candidates; the UCC Cast "Seeds & Ways"
combined lectionary page (~9 deferred episodes, awaiting greenlight); Christian-nationalism
monograph; the [[William Branham]] / [[William J. Seymour]] / [[John Alexander Dowie]] stubs
(now quantified above); Parham "coverup" open thread; the entity thresholds for [[Tim Whitaker]],
[[Joshua Lewis]], [[Nijay Gupta]], [[Robert Tracy McKenzie]], [[Kate Johnson]], [[Kaitlyn Schiess]],
[[Jen Hatmaker]]; and the longer prior carry-over list.
