Cross-audit finding: the live gitea-event-watcher.py still polls stale/nonexistent repo aliases like Timmy/hermes-agent and Timmy/the-matrix, generating 404 noise and queue falsework.

Why this matters:

  • watcher cycles burn time on known-bad aliases
  • log noise hides real queue events
  • stale alias drift is exactly the kind of haunted automation we are trying to kill

Acceptance criteria:

  • Remove or remap stale repo aliases from the watcher's polling set.
  • Prove 5 consecutive watcher cycles with zero repo-404 spam for those aliases.
  • Confirm queue generation still works for the real canonical repos after the cleanup.
  • Repo truth documents the canonical repo list used by the watcher.
