docs-hygiene:audit-noise: pre-computed sample drops status: no-targets, contradicting the output-schema claim

[kyle-sexton]

SKILL.md:34 filters detect.sh output to ^(Summary total:|Finding shape:), which removes the status: no-targets line. SKILL.md:184 says that line is present in the pre-computed context even with stderr discarded.

On a clean tree, the sample reads Summary total: files=0 T1=0 T2=0 T3=0, and an agent can take that as a clean audit instead of making the repo-wide offer.

Running detect.sh with no targets prints:

status: no-targets
Summary total: files=0 T1=0 T2=0 T3=0
Note: no markdown targets — pass file paths or edit some .md files

Fix

Add status: to the grep alternation on SKILL.md:34.

Context

Seen at docs-hygiene 0.23.1 during the .github hygiene sweep (melodic-software/.github#153, step audit-noise).

This comes from the 2026-09-29 audit of the Cursor run. The issue stays closed; the audit confirmed the work was delivered.

Evidence: the audit-noise SKILL.md:34 grep alternation now includes status: (verified on origin/main ebda6c3). It shipped in docs-hygiene 0.23.4 (see the changelog entry) with eval 16. Removing the stale needs-triage label.

Verification of the merged fix (PR #4731, 0.23.4), run against origin/main in a clean worktree: plugins/docs-hygiene/skills/audit-noise/SKILL.md:34 now greps ^(status:|Summary total:|Finding shape:). Running that pre-computed-context command on a tree with no markdown targets prints status: no-targets and Summary total: files=0 T1=0 T2=0 T3=0, so the empty scan is distinguishable from a clean audit. The earlier verification of #4731 recorded only that the branch commit was present; this run exercises the behavior. No change needed.
