docs-hygiene:audit-noise: repo-wide mode prescribes subagent fan-out regardless of corpus size

[kyle-sexton]

Auto-detect rule 1 tells the agent to fan out concurrent subagents plus a fresh-context verification pass for any repo-wide run.

On an 11-file, 429-line corpus (melodic-software/.github#153, step audit-noise), reading every file inline is cheaper and just as thorough. As written, the agent must either break the rule or spend the fan-out for nothing.

Proposed

State a small-corpus path where every file is read inline and the fan-out and verification pass are skipped, or tie the fan-out width to corpus size.

Context

Seen at docs-hygiene 0.23.1.

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

Evidence: audit-noise repo-wide mode now sizes the judgment pass to the corpus (SKILL.md about line 116, verified on origin/main ebda6c3). It shipped in docs-hygiene 0.23.4 with eval 15. Removing the stale needs-triage label.
