+## Hill
+
+Clear the bad-code lane by fixing all four remaining items:
+depth-limit directory walks, replace manual YAML parsing with a
+library, validate GitHub API responses with Zod, and decompose
+the Workspace god class.
+
+## Playback Questions
+
+### Human
+
+- [ ] Directory walks have depth limits and skip symlinks.
+- [ ] Frontmatter parsing uses a YAML library, not string slicing.
+- [ ] GitHub API responses are validated before use.
+- [ ] The Workspace class delegates to focused modules.
+
+### Agent
+
+- [ ] collectMarkdownFiles and collectFiles have maxDepth and symlink
+  guards.
+- [ ] A yaml library parses and serializes frontmatter.
+- [ ] Zod schemas validate GitHub API issue and comment responses.
+- [ ] src/index.ts Workspace class is under 400 lines after extraction.
+- [ ] All 127+ tests still pass.
+
+## Accessibility and Assistive Reading
+
+Not in scope. Internal refactor.
+
+## Localization and Directionality
+
+Not in scope.
+
+## Agent Inspectability and Explainability
+
+Not in scope. Internal refactor.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- [ ] Changing the public API surface.
+- [ ] Adding new features.
+- [ ] Changing test behavior.

+# Bad Code Cleanup Retro
+
+Design: `docs/design/0029-bad-code-cleanup/bad-code-cleanup.md`
+Outcome: hill-met
+Drift check: yes
+
+## Summary
+
+Cleared the bad-code lane. Four fixes:
+
+1. **Depth limits**: collectMarkdownFiles and collectFiles now have
+   maxDepth=10 and skip symlinks.
+2. **YAML library**: New src/frontmatter.ts uses the `yaml` package.
+   All manual string-slicing YAML parsing removed.
+3. **GitHub API validation**: Zod schemas validate issue and comment
+   responses. No more `any` casts.
+4. **God class decomposition**: Extracted src/renderers.ts (188 lines)
+   and src/frontmatter.ts (100 lines). Workspace reduced from 854 to
+   604 lines (30% reduction).
+
+## Playback Witness
+
+- [Verification Witness](./witness/verification.md)
+
+## Drift
+
+- None recorded.
+
+## New Debt
+
+- Workspace is still 604 lines. Further decomposition (backlog ops,
+  cycle ops) would require changing the public API.
+
+## Cool Ideas
+
+- None recorded.
+
+## Backlog Maintenance

+- [x] Priorities reviewed
