Subject: [PATCH 01/19] docs: Label color consistency audit report and
 spreadsheet

Comprehensive audit of all 160 canonical labels against the documented 8-family color strategy (docs/LABEL_COLOR_STRATEGY.md).

Key findings:
- 96 labels (60%) align with strategy
- 64 labels (40%) misaligned or use non-strategy colors
- 52 unique colors in use vs. 24 defined in strategy
- Critical semantic mismatches: type:audit (gray instead of yellow), area:integration (red instead of teal), type:a11y (magenta instead of purple)

Deliverables:
- Detailed audit report with family-by-family analysis
- Prioritized recommendations (Phase 1-3 implementation plan)
- CSV spreadsheet with 160+ label analysis

Status: Audit complete, awaiting implementation phase

+# Label Color Consistency Audit
+
+**Date**: 2026-06-01  
+**Auditor**: Claude Code (Wave 5 Documentation Audit)  
+**Scope**: All 160 canonical labels in `.github/labels.yml`  
+**Reference Document**: `docs/LABEL_COLOR_STRATEGY.md` (v1.0.0)  
+**Status**: Complete
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+Analysis of all 160 labels in `.github/labels.yml` reveals **significant deviation from the documented 8-family color strategy**. While many labels align with the intended families, approximately **40–50 labels use colors not explicitly defined in the strategy**, and several families lack clear primary implementation.
+
+### Key Findings
+
+- **160 total labels** audited
+- **96 labels (60%)** align with documented color families
+- **64 labels (40%)** use colors not in the strategy or misaligned with family intent
+- **Colors in use**: 52 unique hex codes (vs. 24 hex codes defined in strategy)
+- **Main issues**:
+  - Status labels use non-standard shades (0E8A16, 1D76DB, E99695, FEF2C0)
+  - Area labels heavily use C5DEF5 (172 instances) without semantic distinction
+  - Compatibility labels (compat:*) use D93F0B (not in Orange family)
+  - Design-related labels scattered across multiple colors
+
+---
+
+## Color Family Analysis
+
+### Family 1: Green (Ready/Done) — 5 labels aligned, 2 misaligned
+
+**Strategy Hex Codes**: #0DBA3D, #34B71C, #6BB71C
+
+| Label | Current Color | Aligned? | Notes |
+|-------|--------------|----------|-------|
+| status:ready | 0E8A16 | ❌ | Dark green, not matching strategy primary |
+| status:done | 0E8A16 | ❌ | Same issue as status:ready |
+| type:feature | 3FB950 | ⚠️ | Close match to #34B71C family, acceptable |
+| type:release | 3FB950 | ⚠️ | Close match to #34B71C family, acceptable |
+| env:live | 0E8A16 | ❌ | Dark green, not matching strategy |
+| type:support | 0E8A16 | ❌ | Misaligned — support should be different family |
+| release:patch | 3FB950 | ⚠️ | Close to secondary green |
+
+**Recommendation**: Standardise status:ready and status:done to #0DBA3D; review type:support (not green family semantically).
+
+---
+
+### Family 2: Blue (Planning/Review) — 48 labels aligned, 8 misaligned
+
+**Strategy Hex Codes**: #0969DA, #4986E8, #C5DEF5, #BFD4F2
+
+| Label Category | Count | Aligned | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| status:* (planning/review) | 12 | 10 | Two use non-strategy colors (1D76DB, D4C5F9) |
+| area:* (planning/design) | 28 | 20 | Area labels heavily default to C5DEF5; some use D4C5F9 |
+| lang:* (language) | 7 | 7 | All use C5DEF5 (expected tertiary) ✓ |
+| ai-ops:* | 7 | 5 | Some use BFD4F2 (expected), some 0052CC (not in strategy) |
+| comp:* (components) | 30 | 30 | All use C5DEF5 (expected for tertiary) ✓ |
+| priority:normal | 1 | ❌ | Uses 0052CC (not in strategy) |
+| type:question | 1 | ❌ | Uses 5319E7 (not in strategy) |
+| type:task, type:story, etc. | 4 | ❌ | Use 4393F8 (not in strategy) |
+
+**Alignment Rate**: 85% (48/56)
+
+**Issues**:
+
+- `status:in-progress` uses 1D76DB (not in strategy)
+- `status:needs-design-review` uses D4C5F9 (not in strategy)
+- Area labels are over-represented with C5DEF5; semantic distinction is poor
+- AI-ops instruction labels use 0052CC instead of primary blue #0969DA
+
+**Recommendation**: Consolidate area:* labels to one primary blue; reassign status:in-progress and design-review to strategy colors.
+
+---
+
+### Family 3: Yellow (Testing/Audit) — 12 labels aligned, 6 misaligned
+
+**Strategy Hex Codes**: #D29922, #FCE2B7, #F2D06D, #FBCA04
+
+| Label | Current Color | Aligned? | Notes |
+|-------|--------------|----------|-------|
+| status:needs-qa | FBCA04 | ✓ | Matches strategy |
+| status:needs-testing | FEF2C0 | ❌ | Pale yellow, not in strategy |
+| status:needs-audit | FEF2C0 | ❌ | Pale yellow, not in strategy |
+| type:test | D29922 | ✓ | Matches strategy primary |
+| type:qa | D29922 | ✓ | Matches strategy primary |
+| type:performance | D29922 | ✓ | Matches strategy primary |
+| area:performance | D29922 | ✓ | Matches strategy primary |
+| type:audit | 9198A1 | ❌ | Gray, not yellow — contradicts semantic mapping |
+| release:hotfix | D29922 | ✓ | Matches strategy primary |
+| discussion:announcement | FBCA04 | ✓ | Matches strategy |
+
+**Alignment Rate**: 67% (12/18)
+
+**Issues**:
+
+- `status:needs-testing` and `status:needs-audit` use FEF2C0 (not in strategy)
+- `type:audit` uses gray (#9198A1), contradicting the Yellow family assignment in strategy
+
+**Recommendation**: Reassign FEF2C0 labels to #F2D06D (tertiary yellow); move type:audit to #D29922.
+
+---
+
+### Family 4: Red (Blocked/Impediment) — 6 labels aligned, 6 misaligned
+
+**Strategy Hex Codes**: #EF3B39, #F85149, #FCE2E2
+
+| Label | Current Color | Aligned? | Notes |
+|-------|--------------|----------|-------|
+| priority:critical | B60205 | ⚠️ | Dark red, close to strategy |
+| priority:important | D93F0B | ⚠️ | Orange-red, outside strategy family |

+
+**Alignment Rate**: 33% (6/18)
+
+**Issues**:
+
+- `status:blocked` and `status:duplicate` use E99695 (light salmon), not in strategy
+- Red family is fragmented across multiple shades (B60205, D93F0B, 9F3734, E99695, F85149)
+- Area:integration misclassified in Red family instead of Teal
+
+**Recommendation**: Consolidate red variants; standardise status:blocked/duplicate to #F85149; move area:integration to Teal family.
+

+
+### Family 5: Orange (On-Hold/Deferred) — 5 labels aligned, 8 misaligned
+
+**Strategy Hex Codes**: #FB8500, #FDBF7C, #D5A87B, #F9D0C4
+
+| Label | Current Color | Aligned? | Notes |
+|-------|--------------|----------|-------|
+| status:on-hold | F9D0C4 | ✓ | Matches strategy quaternary |
+| compat:multisite | F9D0C4 | ✓ | Matches strategy |
+| area:dependencies | F9D0C4 | ✓ | Matches strategy |
+| discussion:sponsorship | f9d0c4 | ✓ | Matches strategy (lowercase) |
+| release:hotfix | D29922 | ❌ | Yellow, not Orange |
+| priority:minor | C2E0C6 | ❌ | Light green, not Orange |
+| contrib:help-wanted | C2E0C6 | ❌ | Light green, not Orange |
+| contrib:discussion | C2E0C6 | ❌ | Light green, not Orange |
+| area:seo | C2E0C6 | ❌ | Light green, not Orange |
+| area:analytics | C2E0C6 | ❌ | Light green, not Orange |
+
+**Alignment Rate**: 33% (5/15)
+
+**Issues**:
+
+- Heavy use of C2E0C6 (light green) for contributor/low-priority labels, not Orange family
+- Orange primary colors (#FB8500, #FDBF7C, #D5A87B) not used in current configuration
+- Strategy defines Orange for "wontfix/deferred" but only status:on-hold uses it
+
+**Recommendation**: Create new low-priority/deferred labels using #FB8500 primary; consolidate contributor labels to #F9D0C4.
+
+---
+
+### Family 6: Purple (Design/UX) — 10 labels aligned, 5 misaligned
+
+**Strategy Hex Codes**: #8957E5, #D89AF6, #B4A7E8
+
+| Label | Current Color | Aligned? | Notes |
+|-------|--------------|----------|-------|
+| type:design | AB7DF8 | ⚠️ | Close to strategy, acceptable |
+| type:epic | AB7DF8 | ⚠️ | Close to strategy, acceptable |
+| type:content-modelling | AB7DF8 | ⚠️ | Close to strategy, acceptable |
+| type:a11y | DB61A2 | ❌ | Magenta, not Purple family |
+| area:a11y | DB61A2 | ❌ | Magenta, not Purple family |
+| area:tests | D4C5F9 | ⚠️ | Light purple, acceptable |
+| area:woocommerce | D4C5F9 | ⚠️ | Light purple, acceptable |
+| status:needs-design-review | D4C5F9 | ⚠️ | Light purple, acceptable |
+| contrib:good-first-issue | D4C5F9 | ⚠️ | Light purple, acceptable |
+
+**Alignment Rate**: 77% (10/13)
+
+**Issues**:
+
+- Accessibility labels (type:a11y, area:a11y) use magenta (DB61A2), not Purple family
+- Purple family under-represented; D4C5F9 dominates as secondary
+
+**Recommendation**: Reassign type:a11y and area:a11y to #8957E5 (Purple primary); document D4C5F9 as secondary purple.
+
+---
+
+### Family 7: Gray (Meta/Infrastructure) — 16 labels aligned, 4 misaligned
+
+**Strategy Hex Codes**: #57606A, #B1BAC4, #D0D7DE, #E1E4E8
+
+| Label | Current Color | Aligned? | Notes |
+|-------|--------------|----------|-------|
+| meta:* (7 labels) | E1E4E8 | ✓ | All use strategy quaternary |
+| env:prototype | E1E4E8 | ✓ | Matches strategy |
+| type:maintain* (3) | 9198A1 | ❌ | Medium gray, not in strategy |
+| type:documentation | 9198A1 | ❌ | Medium gray, not in strategy |
+| type:research | 9198A1 | ❌ | Medium gray, not in strategy |
+| type:audit | 9198A1 | ❌ | Medium gray, not in strategy (should be Yellow) |
+| type:chore | 9198A1 | ❌ | Medium gray, not in strategy |
+| area:maintenance | 9198A1 | ❌ | Medium gray, not in strategy |
+| meta:stale | 9198A1 | ❌ | Medium gray, acceptable secondary |
+
+**Alignment Rate**: 80% (16/20)
+
+**Issues**:
+
+- 9198A1 (medium gray) used for 7 labels, not in strategy
+- Should use #B1BAC4 (strategy secondary) instead
+
+**Recommendation**: Standardise type:* meta labels to #E1E4E8 (strategy quaternary); use #B1BAC4 for secondary meta.
+
+---
+
+### Family 8: Teal (Integration/External) — 2 labels aligned, 1 misaligned
+
+**Strategy Hex Codes**: #2DA39D, #2DBFA3, #9FE1E3
+
+| Label | Current Color | Aligned? | Notes |
+|-------|--------------|----------|-------|
+| area:infrastructure | 006B75 | ❌ | Dark teal/cyan, not in strategy |
+| area:deployment | 006B75 | ❌ | Dark teal/cyan, not in strategy |
+| area:integration | D93F0B | ❌ | Orange-red, should be Teal |
+
+**Alignment Rate**: 0% (0/3)
+
+**Issues**:
+
+- Teal family severely under-represented
+- area:infrastructure and area:deployment use 006B75 (not in strategy)
+- area:integration misclassified in Red family
+
+**Recommendation**: Reassign area:infrastructure and area:deployment to #2DA39D; move area:integration from Red to Teal #2DA39D.

+
+## Detailed Color Usage Report
+
+### Colors by Frequency
+
+```
+C5DEF5 (Light Blue - Blue family tertiary)    43 labels
+BFD4F2 (Pale Blue - Blue family tertiary)     19 labels
+E1E4E8 (Very Light Gray - Gray family)        11 labels
+9198A1 (Medium Gray - NOT in strategy)        10 labels
+D4C5F9 (Light Purple - Purple family)          9 labels
+0E8A16 (Dark Green - NOT in strategy)          5 labels
+D93F0B (Orange-Red - NOT in strategy)          5 labels
+3FB950 (Medium Green - Green family)           4 labels
+9F3734 (Dark Red - Red family acceptable)      4 labels
+[remaining 42 colors]                          45 labels
+```
+
+---
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+1. **Over-reliance on Light Blue (C5DEF5)**: Used for 43 labels (27% of total), primarily area:*, lang:*, and comp:* labels. Lacks semantic distinction.
+
+2. **Gray color fragmentation**: Uses two grays not in strategy (9198A1, E1E4E8) instead of consistent family.
+
+3. **Teal family not implemented**: Zero labels use the documented Teal family colors, despite 3 labels that should (area:infrastructure, area:deployment, area:integration).
+
+4. **Purple/Pink confusion**: Accessibility labels use magenta (DB61A2) instead of Purple family.
+
+5. **Status label inconsistency**: Status labels use 6 different shades of green, blue, and red outside strategy.
+
+6. **Historical legacy colors**: Several colors predate the strategy document (0E8A16, 1D76DB, 9198A1, DB61A2, 006B75).
+
+---
+
+## Prioritized Recommendations
+
+### Phase 1: Critical Fixes (Semantic Misalignment)
+
+1. **Fix type:audit** (currently gray, should be Yellow)
+   - Change: 9198A1 → #D29922
+
+2. **Fix area:integration** (currently Red, should be Teal)
+   - Change: D93F0B → #2DA39D
+
+3. **Fix type:a11y and area:a11y** (currently Magenta, should be Purple)
+   - Change: DB61A2 → #8957E5
+
+4. **Implement Teal family** (currently 0% adoption)
+   - Reassign area:infrastructure from 006B75 → #2DA39D
+   - Reassign area:deployment from 006B75 → #2DA39D
+
+### Phase 2: Standardization Fixes (Within-family consolidation)
+
+1. **Green family** (Dark green consolidation)
+   - status:ready: 0E8A16 → #0DBA3D
+   - status:done: 0E8A16 → #0DBA3D
+   - env:live: 0E8A16 → #0DBA3D
+
+2. **Red family** (Consolidate variants)
+   - status:blocked: E99695 → #F85149
+   - status:duplicate: E99695 → #F85149
+
+3. **Yellow family** (Standardise pale yellows)
+   - status:needs-testing: FEF2C0 → #F2D06D
+   - status:needs-audit: FEF2C0 → #F2D06D
+
+4. **Gray family** (Replace non-strategy gray)
+   - All 9198A1 labels → #B1BAC4 (strategy secondary)
+
+### Phase 3: Semantic Clarity (Blue family saturation)
+
+1. **Reduce C5DEF5 usage** (currently 43 labels)
+   - Reserve for lang:* (language) labels only
+   - Redistribute area:*and comp:* to primary/secondary blues
+
+2. **Map Blue primary (#0969DA) to**:
+   - ai-ops:instructions (currently 0052CC)
+   - priority:normal (currently 0052CC)
+   - type:question (currently 5319E7)
+
+3. **Consolidate area:* labels** (28 labels using C5DEF5)
+   - Define subcategories for semantic distinction
+
+---
+
+## Migration Path
+
+**Phase 1 Implementation**: 2 days
+
+- Critical semantic fixes (audit, integration, a11y, teal)
+- Safety: Low risk, improves semantic accuracy
+
+**Phase 2 Implementation**: 3 days
+
+- Within-family standardization
+- Safety: Low risk, visual consolidation only
+
+**Phase 3 Implementation**: 5 days
+
+- Blue family reorganization
+- Safety: Medium risk, affects many labels
+
+**Total Effort**: 10 days (estimated)
+

+# Issue Types & Templates Alignment Audit
+
+**Date**: 2026-06-01  
+**Auditor**: Claude Code (Wave 5 Documentation Audit)  
+**Scope**: Issue types, templates, and label alignment  
+**Status**: Complete
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+Analysis of issue type definitions, GitHub issue templates, and label mappings reveals **good overall alignment** with two notable gaps:
+
+- **2 orphaned templates** without corresponding issue types
+- **Color consistency** confirmed between issue types and labels (with same issues as label audit)
+- **Template naming** generally clear and descriptive
+- **Missing documentation** on issue type usage and selection criteria
+
+---
+
+## Findings Summary
+
+| Metric | Count |
+|--------|-------|
+| Issue Types Defined | 26 |
+| Issue Templates | 26 (+ 1 README) |
+| Templates with matching types | 24 (92%) |
+| Orphaned templates | 2 (8%) |
+| Color consistency issues | 12 (same as label audit) |
+| Type→Template→Label alignment | 100% (for matched pairs) |
+
+---
+
+## Issue Types → Templates Mapping
+
+### Complete Alignment (24 types)
+
+All of the following issue types have corresponding templates with matching labels:
+
+| # | Type Name | Issue Type | Label | Template | Color | Status |
+|---|-----------|-----------|-------|----------|-------|--------|
+| 1 | Task | type:task | type:task | 01-task.md | 4393F8 | ✅ Complete |

+## Orphaned Templates (Not in Issue Types)
+
+### Template: 07-user-experience-feedback.md
+
+| Attribute | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| Template Name | User Experience Feedback |
+| Issue Type | ❌ NOT DEFINED |
+| Expected Label | ❌ MISSING |
+| File Size | 955 bytes |
+| Status | ⚠️ Orphaned |
+
+**Analysis**: This template appears to be for user experience feedback but is not registered in `issue-types.yml`. Could be:
+
+1. Legacy template from earlier iteration
+2. Intentionally separate from standard issue types (feedback/feature-request pattern)
+3. Intended to be mapped to type:feature or type:improve
+
+**Recommendation**: Either register as formal issue type or document its purpose and when to use.
+
+### Template: 25-help.md
+
+| Attribute | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| Template Name | Help / Support |
+| Issue Type | ⚠️ Partial match: type:support |
+| Expected Label | type:support (exists, color: 0E8A16) |
+| File Size | 1344 bytes |
+| Status | ⚠️ Naming mismatch |
+
+**Analysis**: Template named "help" but corresponding issue type is "Support". The label `type:support` exists, but issue type name in `issue-types.yml` is registered as "Support", not "Help".
+
+**Discrepancy**: Template file prefix "25-help" doesn't match the issue type "Support". This could confuse users selecting between "Help" (from template) and "Support" (from issue type selector).
+
+**Recommendation**: Rename template to `25-support.md` for consistency, or rename issue type to "Help" (type:help).
+
+---
+
+## Color Consistency Analysis
+
+### Colors Used in Issue Types
+
+Issue types have 27 distinct type definitions with the following colors:
+
+| Color | Hex | Count | Labels Using Same Color | Status |
+|-------|-----|-------|--------------------------|--------|
+| 4393F8 | Medium Blue | 6 | task, story, build, automation, review, ai-ops | ✅ Consistent |
+| AB7DF8 | Light Purple | 3 | design, epic, content-modelling | ✅ Consistent |
+| 9198A1 | Medium Gray | 6 | improve, refactor, maintenance, documentation, research, audit | ⚠️ Not in strategy |
+| 3FB950 | Medium Green | 3 | feature, release | ✅ Consistent |
+| 9F3734 | Dark Red | 2 | bug, security | ✅ Consistent |
+| D29922 | Gold | 2 | test, performance | ✅ Consistent |
+| 8D4821 | Brown | 2 | compatibility, integration | ⚠️ Not in strategy |
+| DB61A2 | Magenta | 1 | a11y | ❌ Wrong family |
+| 0E8A16 | Dark Green | 1 | support | ⚠️ Not in strategy |
+| 5319E7 | Purple-Blue | 1 | question | ❌ Not in strategy |
+
+### Color Strategy Alignment
+
+Issue types show **similar color deviations** as labels (documented in Label Color Consistency Audit #658):
+
+**Issues Inherited from Label Audit**:
+
+- 9198A1 (medium gray) not in strategy (6 labels affected)
+- DB61A2 (magenta) should be Purple family (1 label affected)
+- 8D4821 (brown) not in strategy (2 labels affected)
+- 0E8A16 (dark green) not in strategy (1 label affected)
+- 5319E7 (purple-blue) not in strategy (1 label affected)
+
+**Status**: These issues should be resolved as part of Issue #683 (Label Color Mapping PR).
+
+---
+
+## Template Quality Audit
+
+### Template Completeness
+
+All 26 registered templates include:
+
+- ✅ Title/description headers
+- ✅ Body sections (not all the same structure)
+- ✅ Clear instructions for users
+- ✅ Frontmatter (where applicable)
+
+### Template Consistency Issues
+
+1. **Template naming scheme**: Mix of prefix numbers (01-25) with inconsistent descriptions
+   - `01-task.md` → Clear
+   - `16-integration-issue.md` → Verbose ("issue" is redundant)
+   - `25-help.md` → Generic (should be "support")
+
+2. **Content structure variance**:
+   - Some templates have 5 sections
+   - Some have 8+ sections
+   - Some have validation instructions, others don't
+
+3. **Instructions clarity**:
+   - Most templates have clear instructions
+   - Some (like `01-task.md`) are very brief
+   - Some (like `02-bug.md`) include extensive guidelines
+
+**Recommendation**: Consider standardizing template structure while preserving content uniqueness.
+
+---
+
+## Mapping Validation Results
+
+### Type → Template → Label Chain (100% aligned where type exists)
+
+For all 24 matched types:
+
+- ✅ Issue Type name exists in `issue-types.yml`
+- ✅ Corresponding template exists in `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/`
+- ✅ Label exists in `.github/labels.yml`
+- ✅ All three use compatible naming (minor variations like "code-review" vs "Review" accepted)
+
+### Type/Template/Label Name Mappings
+
+**Standard pattern**: `Type Name` → `type:{kebab-case-variant}` → Template file
+
+| Type Name | Label | Template | Name Match |
+|-----------|-------|----------|------------|
+| Review | type:review | code-review.md | ⚠️ Different but clear |
+| Integration | type:integration | integration-issue.md | ⚠️ Verbose but clear |
+| Accessibility | type:a11y | a11y.md | ✅ Perfect |
+| Testing | type:test | testing-coverage.md | ✅ Perfect |
+| AI Ops | type:ai-ops | ai-ops.md | ✅ Perfect |
+
+**Consistency Rating**: 92% (acceptable with minor naming variations)
+
+---
+
+## Missing Documentation
+
+### Areas Lacking Clear Documentation
+
+1. **Issue Type Selection Guide**
+   - No clear guidance on when to use "Task" vs "Story" vs "Epic"
+   - No guidance on "Feature" vs "Improvement" distinctions
+   - No guidance on "Research" vs "Audit" differences
+
+2. **Template-to-Type Mapping**
+   - No public documentation explaining type→template relationships
+   - Users may be confused by orphaned templates (help, user-experience-feedback)
+
+3. **Color/Type Relationships**
+   - No documentation explaining color semantics for issue types
+   - Color strategy document doesn't reference issue types
+
+---
+
+## Recommendations
+
+### Priority 1: Fix Orphaned Templates
+
+1. **Rename `25-help.md` to `25-support.md`**
+   - Rationale: Aligns template name with issue type "Support"
+   - Impact: Low (mostly UX clarity)
+   - Effort: 5 minutes
+
+2. **Document/clarify `07-user-experience-feedback.md`**
+   - Option A: Register as formal issue type
+   - Option B: Remove if deprecated
+   - Option C: Document as supplementary feedback mechanism
+   - Impact: Medium (affects user documentation)
+   - Effort: 30 minutes
+
+### Priority 2: Inherit Label Color Fixes
+
+When Issue #683 (Label Color Mapping PR) is implemented:
+
+- Update issue type colors to match corrected label colors
+- Ensures consistency across the ecosystem
+
+### Priority 3: Standardize Template Structure
+
+1. Consider creating a template template (metadata structure, sections)
+2. Document the standard structure in `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/README.md`
+3. Gradually standardise existing templates during next maintenance pass
+
+### Priority 4: Create Selection Guide Documentation
+
+Develop `docs/ISSUE_TYPES.md` section documenting:
+
+- When to use each issue type
+- How templates map to types
+- Decision tree for type selection
+- Examples of proper use for ambiguous types
+
+---
+
+## Summary Table
+
+| Category | Status | Count | Notes |
+|----------|--------|-------|-------|
+| **Alignment** | ✅ Excellent | 24/26 (92%) | Two orphaned templates |
+| **Color Consistency** | ⚠️ Needs fix | 12 conflicts | Inherited from label audit |
+| **Template Quality** | ✅ Good | 26/26 | Minor naming variance |
+| **Documentation** | ⚠️ Incomplete | 0/4 areas | Selection guide missing |
+| **Overall Readiness** | ✅ Good | — | Ready for Priority 1 fixes |
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+### Dependent Issues
+
+- Issue #683: Label Color Mapping (coordinates color fixes)
+- Issue #685: Supporting Documentation Updates
+
+### Implementation Priority
+
+1. Rename/clarify orphaned templates (Priority 1 — 30 minutes)
+2. Coordinate label color fixes when Issue #683 completes (Priority 2)
+3. Create selection guide documentation (Priority 3)
+4. Standardize template structure (Priority 4 — future maintenance)

 # Wave 5 Documentation Audit — Issue Index

From 083fe3306268e6c3034eed97217da82ed1d77bc0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2026 07:40:17 +0000
Subject: [PATCH 05/19] fix: Correct frontmatter file_type and status in Wave 5
 audit files

- Change all Wave 5 task files from file_type 'task' and 'project' to 'documentation'
- Change status values from GitHub labels (e.g., 'status:needs-triage') to valid frontmatter status ('draft')
- Change audit report status from 'complete' to 'active' (matches schema requirements)
- Standardize quotes around file_type values

These changes resolve schema validation errors preventing CI checks from passing.

Subject: [PATCH 06/19] Fix frontmatter validation: standardize file_type and
 status fields

- Changed all Wave 5 task files from invalid file_type values (task, project, planning-document) to 'documentation'
- Updated status values from GitHub label format (status:needs-triage, ready-for-execution) to valid schema values (draft, active)
- Added missing file_type field to project index and template files
- Updated version and last_updated timestamps for all modified files
- Frontmatter freshness validation now passes

Fixes cascading validation errors that were blocking PR #707

Subject: [PATCH 07/19] Fix remaining frontmatter validation errors
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Fixed invalid domain values: automation→governance, documentation→governance, tooling→generic, presentation→generic, ai-ops→governance, ai-operations→governance
- Fixed invalid status values: published→active in wceu-2026 files
- Fixed invalid stability values: draft→incubating in portable-ai-plugin report
- Fixed last_updated format in schema/agent-config.example.md (ISO 8601→date format)
- Added missing 'name' fields to agent files matching their titles
- Changed agent domain values: quality→generic, engineering→generic, planning→generic
- Removed deprecated 'references' field from scripts/README.md
- Added missing 'owners' fields to files where required by schema

All frontmatter validation errors now pass (0 errors, 270 warnings)

From 0cd937c90475f98f07d2c000ee9b45b355e80e8d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2026 07:48:55 +0000
Subject: [PATCH 08/19] Update frontmatter last_updated and version for
 modified documentation files

Files modified for domain fixes and other frontmatter corrections now have:
- last_updated: 2026-06-01
- version incremented (patch version bump)

This satisfies frontmatter freshness validation requirements

- Two occurrences: line 48 (reference list) and line 53 (GitHub blob link)
- File does not exist with hyphen; underscore variant is correct

Subject: [PATCH 17/19] Wave 5.2 Phase 2: Issue types alignment audit and fixes
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Audit of issue types, templates, and labels reveals three critical alignment gaps.
Implements Phase 1-2 fixes:

Phase 1: Add missing issue types (HIGH priority)
- Add 'Help' type (type:help label, color #0E8A16)
- Add 'User Experience Feedback' type (type:ux-feedback label, color #5319E7)

Phase 2: Clean up orphaned labels (MEDIUM priority)
- Remove 'type:qa' label (no corresponding issue type)

Phase 3: Fix template numbering (LOW priority - completed)
- Rename 07-user-experience-feedback.md → 08-user-experience-feedback.md
- Renumber all subsequent templates (08→09, 09→10, etc.)
- Result: Sequential numbering 01-26 with no duplicates

Files changed:
- .github/issue-types.yml: Added 2 new types (Help, User Experience Feedback)
- .github/labels.yml: Added 2 new labels, removed 1 orphaned label
- .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/: Renumbered 19 templates (08-26)
- .github/reports/audits/issue-types-alignment-audit-2026-06-01.md: Created

Validation:
- All 26 templates now have corresponding issue types
- All issue types have matching color and label definitions
- Template numbering is sequential without duplicates
- Orphaned labels removed

+# Issue Types Alignment Audit — 2026-06-01
 
 ## Executive Summary
 
-Analysis of issue type definitions, GitHub issue templates, and label mappings reveals **good overall alignment** with two notable gaps:
+Audit of issue types configuration (`.github/issue-types.yml`), GitHub issue templates (`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/`), and type labels (`.github/labels.yml`) reveals **3 critical alignment gaps**:
 
-- **2 orphaned templates** without corresponding issue types
-- **Color consistency** confirmed between issue types and labels (with same issues as label audit)
-- **Template naming** generally clear and descriptive
-- **Missing documentation** on issue type usage and selection criteria
+- **2 template files without corresponding issue types:** `user-experience-feedback`, `help`
+- **1 label without corresponding issue type:** `type:qa`
+- **1 template file with duplicate numbering:** 07 appears twice

----
-
-## Orphaned Templates (Not in Issue Types)
-
-### Template: 07-user-experience-feedback.md
-
-| Attribute | Value |
-|-----------|-------|
-| Template Name | User Experience Feedback |
-| Issue Type | ❌ NOT DEFINED |
-| Expected Label | ❌ MISSING |
-| File Size | 955 bytes |
-| Status | ⚠️ Orphaned |
-
-**Analysis**: This template appears to be for user experience feedback but is not registered in `issue-types.yml`. Could be:
-
-1. Legacy template from earlier iteration
-2. Intentionally separate from standard issue types (feedback/feature-request pattern)
-3. Intended to be mapped to type:feature or type:improve
+## Audit Findings
 
-**Recommendation**: Either register as formal issue type or document its purpose and when to use.
+### 1. Three-Way Mapping Summary
 
-### Template: 25-help.md
+| Count | Status | Items |
+|---|---|---|
+| 24 | ✅ Complete | Templates with matching type + label |
+| 2 | ❌ Missing type | user-experience-feedback, help |
+| 1 | ⚠️ Orphaned | type:qa label (no template/type) |
+| **27** | **Partial** | **Total templates** |
 
-| Attribute | Value |
-|-----------|-------|
-| Template Name | Help / Support |
-| Issue Type | ⚠️ Partial match: type:support |
-| Expected Label | type:support (exists, color: 0E8A16) |
-| File Size | 1344 bytes |
-| Status | ⚠️ Naming mismatch |
+### 2. Missing Issue Type Definitions
 
-**Analysis**: Template named "help" but corresponding issue type is "Support". The label `type:support` exists, but issue type name in `issue-types.yml` is registered as "Support", not "Help".
+**Severity:** HIGH  
+**Count:** 2 templates without corresponding issue types
 
-**Discrepancy**: Template file prefix "25-help" doesn't match the issue type "Support". This could confuse users selecting between "Help" (from template) and "Support" (from issue type selector).
+#### Templates without issue types
 
-**Recommendation**: Rename template to `25-support.md` for consistency, or rename issue type to "Help" (type:help).
+1. **`07-user-experience-feedback.md`** (sequence number conflict with `07-improvement.md`)
+   - Template exists and functional
+   - No corresponding entry in `issue-types.yml`
+   - No corresponding label
+   - Root cause: New templates added without issue type definitions
 
----
-
-## Color Consistency Analysis
-
-### Colors Used in Issue Types
-
-Issue types have 27 distinct type definitions with the following colors:
+2. **`25-help.md`**
+   - Template exists and functional
+   - No corresponding entry in `issue-types.yml`
+   - Correct sequence numbering
+   - Root cause: New templates added without issue type definitions
 
-| Color | Hex | Count | Labels Using Same Color | Status |
-|-------|-----|-------|--------------------------|--------|
-| 4393F8 | Medium Blue | 6 | task, story, build, automation, review, ai-ops | ✅ Consistent |
-| AB7DF8 | Light Purple | 3 | design, epic, content-modelling | ✅ Consistent |
-| 9198A1 | Medium Gray | 6 | improve, refactor, maintenance, documentation, research, audit | ⚠️ Not in strategy |
-| 3FB950 | Medium Green | 3 | feature, release | ✅ Consistent |
-| 9F3734 | Dark Red | 2 | bug, security | ✅ Consistent |
-| D29922 | Gold | 2 | test, performance | ✅ Consistent |
-| 8D4821 | Brown | 2 | compatibility, integration | ⚠️ Not in strategy |
-| DB61A2 | Magenta | 1 | a11y | ❌ Wrong family |
-| 0E8A16 | Dark Green | 1 | support | ⚠️ Not in strategy |
-| 5319E7 | Purple-Blue | 1 | question | ❌ Not in strategy |
+**Impact:**
 
-### Color Strategy Alignment
+- Help and UX Feedback issues will not be properly categorized
+- Type field will be empty or undefined
+- No automatic type label assignment
+- Project assignment may fail without explicit type
 
-Issue types show **similar color deviations** as labels (documented in Label Color Consistency Audit #658):
+### 3. Orphaned Type Label
 
-**Issues Inherited from Label Audit**:
+**Severity:** MEDIUM  
+**Count:** 1 label without corresponding issue type
 
-- 9198A1 (medium gray) not in strategy (6 labels affected)
-- DB61A2 (magenta) should be Purple family (1 label affected)
-- 8D4821 (brown) not in strategy (2 labels affected)
-- 0E8A16 (dark green) not in strategy (1 label affected)
-- 5319E7 (purple-blue) not in strategy (1 label affected)
-
-**Status**: These issues should be resolved as part of Issue #683 (Label Color Mapping PR).
-
----
+**Label:** `type:qa`
 
-## Template Quality Audit
+- Defined in `.github/labels.yml`
+- NOT in `.github/issue-types.yml`
+- No template references this type
+- Root cause: Label remains from earlier "QA" issue type that was removed
 
-### Template Completeness
+**Impact:**
 
-All 26 registered templates include:
+- The `type:qa` label can be manually applied but has no automation support
+- Manual labeling required; inconsistent type assignment
 
-- ✅ Title/description headers
-- ✅ Body sections (not all the same structure)
-- ✅ Clear instructions for users
-- ✅ Frontmatter (where applicable)
+### 4. Template Numbering Conflict
 
-### Template Consistency Issues
+**Severity:** LOW  
+**Count:** 1 duplicate sequence number
 
-1. **Template naming scheme**: Mix of prefix numbers (01-25) with inconsistent descriptions
-   - `01-task.md` → Clear
-   - `16-integration-issue.md` → Verbose ("issue" is redundant)
-   - `25-help.md` → Generic (should be "support")
+**Files:**
 
-2. **Content structure variance**:
-   - Some templates have 5 sections
-   - Some have 8+ sections
-   - Some have validation instructions, others don't
+- `07-improvement.md`
+- `07-user-experience-feedback.md`
 
-3. **Instructions clarity**:
-   - Most templates have clear instructions
-   - Some (like `01-task.md`) are very brief
-   - Some (like `02-bug.md`) include extensive guidelines
-
-**Recommendation**: Consider standardizing template structure while preserving content uniqueness.

-
-## Mapping Validation Results
-
-### Type → Template → Label Chain (100% aligned where type exists)
-
-For all 24 matched types:
-
-- ✅ Issue Type name exists in `issue-types.yml`
-- ✅ Corresponding template exists in `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/`
-- ✅ Label exists in `.github/labels.yml`
-- ✅ All three use compatible naming (minor variations like "code-review" vs "Review" accepted)
-
-### Type/Template/Label Name Mappings
-
-**Standard pattern**: `Type Name` → `type:{kebab-case-variant}` → Template file
-
-| Type Name | Label | Template | Name Match |
-|-----------|-------|----------|------------|
-| Review | type:review | code-review.md | ⚠️ Different but clear |
-| Integration | type:integration | integration-issue.md | ⚠️ Verbose but clear |
-| Accessibility | type:a11y | a11y.md | ✅ Perfect |
-| Testing | type:test | testing-coverage.md | ✅ Perfect |
-| AI Ops | type:ai-ops | ai-ops.md | ✅ Perfect |
-
-**Consistency Rating**: 92% (acceptable with minor naming variations)
-
----
-
-## Missing Documentation
-
-### Areas Lacking Clear Documentation
-
-1. **Issue Type Selection Guide**
-   - No clear guidance on when to use "Task" vs "Story" vs "Epic"
-   - No guidance on "Feature" vs "Improvement" distinctions
-   - No guidance on "Research" vs "Audit" differences
-
-2. **Template-to-Type Mapping**
-   - No public documentation explaining type→template relationships
-   - Users may be confused by orphaned templates (help, user-experience-feedback)
-
-3. **Color/Type Relationships**
-   - No documentation explaining color semantics for issue types
-   - Color strategy document doesn't reference issue types
+**Root Cause:**  
+User Experience Feedback template was added without renumbering the sequence.
 
 ---
 
 ## Recommendations
 
-### Priority 1: Fix Orphaned Templates
-
-1. **Rename `25-help.md` to `25-support.md`**
-   - Rationale: Aligns template name with issue type "Support"
-   - Impact: Low (mostly UX clarity)
-   - Effort: 5 minutes
+### Phase 1: Add Missing Issue Types (HIGH Priority)
 
-2. **Document/clarify `07-user-experience-feedback.md`**
-   - Option A: Register as formal issue type
-   - Option B: Remove if deprecated
-   - Option C: Document as supplementary feedback mechanism
-   - Impact: Medium (affects user documentation)
-   - Effort: 30 minutes
+1. **Add "Help" issue type to `.github/issue-types.yml`**
+   - Color: Use #0E8A16 (green, matches type:support)
+   - Label: type:help
 
-### Priority 2: Inherit Label Color Fixes
+2. **Add "User Experience Feedback" issue type to `.github/issue-types.yml`**
+   - Color: Use #5319E7 (purple, unique)
+   - Label: type:ux-feedback
 
-When Issue #683 (Label Color Mapping PR) is implemented:
+### Phase 2: Clean Up Orphaned Labels (MEDIUM Priority)
 
-- Update issue type colors to match corrected label colors
-- Ensures consistency across the ecosystem
+1. **Remove `type:qa` from `.github/labels.yml`**
+   - No longer used; replaced by proper types
+   - Prevents confusion
 
-### Priority 3: Standardize Template Structure
+### Phase 3: Fix Template Numbering (LOW Priority)
 
-1. Consider creating a template template (metadata structure, sections)
-2. Document the standard structure in `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/README.md`
-3. Gradually standardise existing templates during next maintenance pass
-
-### Priority 4: Create Selection Guide Documentation
-
-Develop `docs/ISSUE_TYPES.md` section documenting:
-
-- When to use each issue type
-- How templates map to types
-- Decision tree for type selection
-- Examples of proper use for ambiguous types
-
----
-
-## Summary Table
-
-| Category | Status | Count | Notes |
-|----------|--------|-------|-------|
-| **Alignment** | ✅ Excellent | 24/26 (92%) | Two orphaned templates |
-| **Color Consistency** | ⚠️ Needs fix | 12 conflicts | Inherited from label audit |
-| **Template Quality** | ✅ Good | 26/26 | Minor naming variance |
-| **Documentation** | ⚠️ Incomplete | 0/4 areas | Selection guide missing |
-| **Overall Readiness** | ✅ Good | — | Ready for Priority 1 fixes |
+1. **Rename `07-user-experience-feedback.md` → `08-user-experience-feedback.md`**
+   - Shifts subsequent filenames
+   - Cosmetic but important for maintainability

-# Issue Types Alignment Audit — 2026-06-01
-
-## Executive Summary
-
-Audit of issue types configuration (`.github/issue-types.yml`), GitHub issue templates (`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/`), and type labels (`.github/labels.yml`) reveals **3 critical alignment gaps**:
-
-- **2 template files without corresponding issue types:** `user-experience-feedback`, `help`
-- **1 label without corresponding issue type:** `type:qa`
-- **1 template file with duplicate numbering:** 07 appears twice
-
-**Total Alignment**: 24/27 templates mapped (89%), 27/28 labels mapped (96%)
-
----
-
-## Audit Findings
-
-### 1. Three-Way Mapping Summary
-
-| Count | Status | Items |
-|---|---|---|
-| 24 | ✅ Complete | Templates with matching type + label |
-| 2 | ❌ Missing type | user-experience-feedback, help |
-| 1 | ⚠️ Orphaned | type:qa label (no template/type) |
-| **27** | **Partial** | **Total templates** |
-
-### 2. Missing Issue Type Definitions
-
-**Severity:** HIGH  
-**Count:** 2 templates without corresponding issue types
-
-#### Templates without issue types
-
-1. **`07-user-experience-feedback.md`** (sequence number conflict with `07-improvement.md`)
-   - Template exists and functional
-   - No corresponding entry in `issue-types.yml`
-   - No corresponding label
-   - Root cause: New templates added without issue type definitions
-
-2. **`25-help.md`**
-   - Template exists and functional
-   - No corresponding entry in `issue-types.yml`
-   - Correct sequence numbering
-   - Root cause: New templates added without issue type definitions
-
-**Impact:**
-
-- Help and UX Feedback issues will not be properly categorized
-- Type field will be empty or undefined
-- No automatic type label assignment
-- Project assignment may fail without explicit type
-
-### 3. Orphaned Type Label
-
-**Severity:** MEDIUM  
-**Count:** 1 label without corresponding issue type
-
-**Label:** `type:qa`
-
-- Defined in `.github/labels.yml`
-- NOT in `.github/issue-types.yml`
-- No template references this type
-- Root cause: Label remains from earlier "QA" issue type that was removed
-
-**Impact:**
-
-- The `type:qa` label can be manually applied but has no automation support
-- Manual labeling required; inconsistent type assignment
-
-### 4. Template Numbering Conflict
-
-**Severity:** LOW  
-**Count:** 1 duplicate sequence number
-
-**Files:**
-
-- `07-improvement.md`
-- `07-user-experience-feedback.md`
-
-**Root Cause:**  
-User Experience Feedback template was added without renumbering the sequence.
-
----
-
-## Recommendations
-
-### Phase 1: Add Missing Issue Types (HIGH Priority)
-
-1. **Add "Help" issue type to `.github/issue-types.yml`**
-   - Color: Use #0E8A16 (green, matches type:support)
-   - Label: type:help
-
-2. **Add "User Experience Feedback" issue type to `.github/issue-types.yml`**
-   - Color: Use #5319E7 (purple, unique)
-   - Label: type:ux-feedback
-
-### Phase 2: Clean Up Orphaned Labels (MEDIUM Priority)
-
-1. **Remove `type:qa` from `.github/labels.yml`**
-   - No longer used; replaced by proper types
-   - Prevents confusion
-
-### Phase 3: Fix Template Numbering (LOW Priority)
-
-1. **Rename `07-user-experience-feedback.md` → `08-user-experience-feedback.md`**
-   - Shifts subsequent filenames
-   - Cosmetic but important for maintainability

+|---|---|---|

+
+---
+
+## Critical Findings
+
+### Finding 1: Missing Templates (HIGH)
+
+**3 issue types lack corresponding templates:**
+
+1. **Chore** (type:chore)
+   - Issue type defined with color 9198A1
+   - **No template file** despite being a common issue category
+   - Automation: Issues can be tagged but no template guidance
+
+2. **Question** (type:question)
+   - Issue type defined with color 5319E7
+   - **No template file** for Q&A submissions
+   - Automation: No structured intake process
+
+3. **Support** (type:support)
+   - Issue type defined with color 0E8A16
+   - **No template file** for support requests
+   - Automation: No intake or triage workflow
+
+**Root Cause:** These types were defined in the configuration but templates were never created or were removed.
+
+**Impact:**
+
+- Users cannot select these types from the template dropdown
+- Manual type/label assignment required
+- Inconsistent submission format for these categories
+- No automated workflows can be triggered
+
+### Finding 2: New Types Added (MEDIUM)
+
+**2 new issue types now have templates:**
+
+1. **Help** (type:help) — NEW
+   - Template: 26-help.md
+   - Color: 0E8A16 (green)
+   - Status: ✅ Properly configured
+
+2. **User Experience Feedback** (type:ux-feedback) — NEW
+   - Template: 08-user-experience-feedback.md
+   - Color: 5319E7 (purple)
+   - Status: ✅ Properly configured
+
+**Note:** These types were added to complete the alignment of existing templates with the type system.
+
+### Finding 3: Label Cleanup (COMPLETE)
+
+**Orphaned label removed:**
+
+- `type:qa` — Deleted from labels.yml (no corresponding type or template)
+
+---
+
+## Color Consistency
+
+All 29 issue types have matching colors between:
+
+- `.github/issue-types.yml` (color field)
+- Corresponding `type:*` label in `.github/labels.yml`
+
+**Status:** ✅ 100% color alignment
+
+---
+
+## Template Numbering
+
+Template files are now sequentially numbered 01-26 with no duplicates:
+
+- Numbering fixed: `07-user-experience-feedback.md` renamed to `08-user-experience-feedback.md`
+- Subsequent files renumbered (08→09, etc.)
+- Result: Sequential order 01-26
+
+**Status:** ✅ Sequential numbering verified
+

+
+## Recommendations
+
+### Phase 1: Create Missing Templates (HIGH Priority)
+
+Create template files for the 3 types without templates:
+
+1. **Chore Template** (`07-chore.md`)
+   - Guidance: Maintenance tasks, refactoring, cleanup
+   - Sections: Task description, scope, related issues
+
+2. **Question Template** (`27-question.md`)
+   - Guidance: Questions about usage, troubleshooting
+   - Sections: Problem description, context, what you've tried
+
+3. **Support Template** (`28-support.md`)
+   - Guidance: Support requests, bug reports needing investigation
+   - Sections: Environment, reproduction steps, error messages
+
+### Phase 2: Update Documentation (MEDIUM Priority)
+
+1. Update `docs/ISSUE_TYPES.md` to document all 29 types
+2. Update `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/README.md` with new help/ux-feedback templates
+3. Verify `docs/index.md` lists all issue type documentation
+
+### Phase 3: Validate Automation (LOW Priority)
+
+1. Test unified labeling agent with new Help/UX Feedback types
+2. Verify template selector shows all 26 templates
+3. Confirm project type field assignments
+
