[routine:weekly-scorecard] Add silent-rot section for routines with zero actions/week #21

Description

@JacobPEvans-personal

Background

PR #20 added six new cloud routines plus extensive cross-cutting controls. Several routines (Inspector on soul-day, Archivist on a covered estate, Apothecary on a clean alert day, etc.) will produce no-op runs by design. Over weeks, no-op runs are indistinguishable from silent failure (PAT expired, gist corrupted, predicate regex broken).

Request

Update routines/weekly-scorecard.prompt.md to add a new section:

Routines with zero actions this week

For each of the 12 cloud routines, read the most recent entry in its <routine>-state gist's run_log field. Report:

  • Routine name and basename.
  • Date of last action (any action != no_op or skipped).
  • If >7 days since last action: flag in Slack-readable format with the gist URL for inspection.

This catches silent failure within 7 days at no extra routine-runtime cost.

Why now

Per architecture-critic review of PR #20: "A routine producing only no-ops is indistinguishable from a routine that has silently broken." Weekly Scorecard is the natural place for this monitoring.
