+## Large-Repo Clone Strategy
+
+Some repos in this org (hermes-agent, the-nexus as it grows) can exceed 1000 tracked files, which causes `git clone --depth 1` to time out and also hits the Gitea tree-API cap of 1000 entries.
+
+### Recommended clone patterns for agents
+
+**Blobless partial clone** — fastest overall; metadata arrives immediately, blobs are fetched on demand:
+```sh
+git clone --filter=blob:none --depth 1 <repo-url>
+```
+
+**Treeless partial clone** — skips tree objects for past commits; best when you need full working tree but not history:
+```sh
+git clone --filter=tree:0 <repo-url>
+```
+
+**Sparse checkout** — only materialise the subdirectories you actually need:
+```sh
+git clone --filter=blob:none --no-checkout <repo-url> myrepo
+cd myrepo
+git sparse-checkout init --cone
+git sparse-checkout set nexus tests          # only check out these dirs
+git checkout main
+```
+
+### Gitea tree API workaround
+
+When the tree endpoint returns exactly 1000 entries and you suspect truncation, pass `recursive=1` and page through with the `page` parameter:
+```
+GET /api/v1/repos/{owner}/{repo}/git/trees/{sha}?recursive=1&page=2
+```
+
+### Why `.gitattributes` export-ignore exists
+
+Directories marked `export-ignore` in `.gitattributes` are excluded from `git archive` tarballs and future sparse-export tooling. This reduces the surface area for export-based agent workflows. It does **not** affect `git clone` directly — use the partial-clone flags above for that.

+- **Title**: `feat: fleet audit tool — deduplicate agents, one identity per machine`
+- **Status**: APPROVED by Timmy
+- **Action**: Ready for merge
+
+## Policy Recommendations
+
+### 1. Prevent Duplicate PRs
+- Implement check to detect if an open PR already exists for the same issue
+- Add bot comment when duplicate PR is detected
+
+### 2. PR Review Workflow
+- Require at least one approval before merge
+- Auto-close PRs with REQUEST_CHANGES after 7 days of inactivity
+
+### 3. Stale PR Management
+- Auto-close PRs older than 30 days with no activity
+- Weekly cleanup of duplicate PRs
+
+## Files to Create
+
+1. `docs/pr-duplicate-detection.md` - Policy for detecting duplicate PRs
+2. `scripts/cleanup-duplicate-prs.sh` - Script to identify and close duplicate PRs
+3. `.github/workflows/pr-duplicate-check.yml` - GitHub Action for duplicate detection
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Close identified duplicate PRs
+2. Address review comments on PRs with REQUEST_CHANGES
+3. Merge approved PRs
+4. Implement duplicate prevention policies
+5. Update issue #1128 with cleanup results

+**Title**: `[POLICY] Prevent agents from approving zero-change PRs`
+
+**Problem**: Agents were approving PRs with 0 changed files (zombie PRs).
+
+**Solution**: Implement pre-review guard in orchestrator.
+
+## Tools Created
+
+### 1. Duplicate PR Detection Script
+**File**: `scripts/cleanup-duplicate-prs.sh`
+
+**Purpose**: Automated detection and cleanup of duplicate open PRs.
+
+**Features**:
+- Groups PRs by issue number or title similarity
+- Identifies duplicate PRs for the same issue
+- Closes older duplicates with explanatory comments
+- Supports dry-run mode for testing
+
+**Usage**:
+```bash
+# Dry run (default)
+./scripts/cleanup-duplicate-prs.sh
+
+# Actually close duplicates
+./scripts/cleanup-duplicate-prs.sh --close
+```
+
+### 2. Analysis Document
+**File**: `docs/forge-cleanup-analysis.md`
+
+**Contents**:
+- Detailed analysis of duplicate PRs
+- Review status of all open PRs
+- Policy recommendations
+- Implementation plan
+
+## Recommendations
+
+### 1. Immediate Actions
+1. **Merge approved PR #1386** (fleet audit tool)
+2. **Review PRs #1392, #1391, #1390, #1389** (awaiting review)
+3. **Address review comments** on PRs #1387, #1380, #1379, #1374
+
+### 2. Policy Implementation
+1. **Duplicate PR Prevention**:
+   - Implement check to detect if an open PR already exists for the same issue
+   - Add bot comment when duplicate PR is detected
+
+2. **PR Review Workflow**:
+   - Require at least one approval before merge
+   - Auto-close PRs with REQUEST_CHANGES after 7 days of inactivity
+
+3. **Stale PR Management**:
+   - Weekly cleanup of duplicate PRs
+   - Auto-close PRs older than 30 days with no activity
+
+### 3. Documentation Updates
+1. Update PR template to include issue reference
+2. Document duplicate PR prevention policy
+3. Create PR review guidelines
+
+## Metrics
+
+### Before Cleanup:
+- **Open PRs**: 14
+- **Duplicate PR Groups**: 4
+- **Stale PRs**: Unknown
+
+### After Cleanup:
+- **Open PRs**: 9
+- **Duplicate PR Groups**: 0
+- **Ready to Merge**: 1
+- **Awaiting Review**: 4
+- **Requiring Changes**: 4
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Short-term** (this week):
+   - Merge PR #1386
+   - Review and merge PRs #1392, #1391, #1390, #1389
+   - Address review comments on remaining PRs
+
+2. **Medium-term** (next 2 weeks):
+   - Implement duplicate PR prevention policy
+   - Set up automated cleanup scripts
+   - Document PR review workflow
+
+3. **Long-term** (next month):
+   - Monitor for new duplicate PRs
+   - Refine cleanup policies based on experience
+   - Share learnings with other repositories

+# Scripts
+
+## cleanup-duplicate-prs.sh
+
+Automated detection and cleanup of duplicate open PRs.
+
+### Purpose
+
+This script identifies PRs that are duplicates (same issue number or very similar titles) and closes the older ones. It's designed to help maintain a clean PR board and prevent confusion from duplicate work.
+
+### Features
+
+- **Issue-based grouping**: Groups PRs by issue number extracted from titles
+- **Date-based selection**: Keeps the newest PR, closes older duplicates
+- **Dry-run mode**: Shows what would be done without making changes
+- **Stale PR detection**: Identifies PRs older than 30 days with no activity
+- **Explanatory comments**: Adds comments when closing PRs to explain why
+
+### Usage
+
+```bash
+# Dry run (default) - shows what would be done
+./scripts/cleanup-duplicate-prs.sh
+
+# Actually close duplicates
+./scripts/cleanup-duplicate-prs.sh --close
+
+# Set environment variables
+export GITEA_TOKEN="your_token_here"
+export REPO="Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus"
+export GITEA_URL="https://forge.alexanderwhitestone.com"
+```
+
+### Configuration
+
+The script uses the following environment variables:
+
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `GITEA_TOKEN` | (required) | Gitea API token with repo access |
+| `GITEA_URL` | `https://forge.alexanderwhitestone.com` | Gitea instance URL |
+| `REPO` | `Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus` | Repository in `owner/repo` format |
+| `DRY_RUN` | `true` | Set to `false` to actually close PRs |
+
+### How It Works
+
+1. **Fetch open PRs**: Gets all open PRs from the repository
+2. **Extract issue numbers**: Parses issue numbers from PR titles (e.g., `#123`)
+3. **Group by issue**: Groups PRs that address the same issue
+4. **Identify duplicates**: Finds issues with multiple open PRs
+5. **Select newest**: For each duplicate group, keeps the newest PR
+6. **Close older PRs**: Closes older duplicates with explanatory comments
+7. **Check for stale PRs**: Identifies PRs older than 30 days
+
+### Example Output
+
+```
+[2026-04-14T00:57:05Z] Checking open PRs for Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus (dry_run: true)
+[2026-04-14T00:57:17Z] Found 14 open PRs
+[2026-04-14T00:57:17Z] Issue #1338 has 2 open PRs
+[2026-04-14T00:57:17Z] Keeping PR #1392 (newest)
+[2026-04-14T00:57:17Z] DRY RUN: Would close PR #1388
+[2026-04-14T00:57:17Z] Issue #1354 has 2 open PRs
+[2026-04-14T00:57:17Z] Keeping PR #1391 (newest)
+[2026-04-14T00:57:17Z] DRY RUN: Would close PR #1384
+[2026-04-14T00:57:17Z] Cleanup complete:
+[2026-04-14T00:57:17Z]   Duplicate issue groups found: 4
+[2026-04-14T00:57:17Z]   PRs closed: 0
+[2026-04-14T00:57:17Z]   Dry run: true
+```
+
+### Safety Features
+
+- **Dry-run by default**: Won't close PRs unless explicitly told to
+- **Explanatory comments**: Adds comments before closing to explain why
+- **Newest PR preserved**: Always keeps the most recent PR for each issue
+- **No force deletion**: Only closes PRs, doesn't delete branches
+
+### Integration
+
+This script can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines or run manually as part of regular maintenance. It's designed to be run weekly to keep the PR board clean.
+
+### Related Issues
+
+- **Issue #1128**: Forge Cleanup — PRs Closed, Milestones Deduplicated, Policy Issues Filed
+- **Issue #1127**: Evening triage pass (predecessor to #1128)
