# Obsidian Cleanup Completed — 2026-05-19

Vault: `/home/will/lab/swarm/swarm-common/obsidian-vault/will/will-shared-zap`

## What changed

Deleted **17** high-confidence disposable/stub notes from the live vault:

- Empty root notes: `2026-04-16.md`, `Systems.md`
- Empty voice-memo/e2e test notes under `Voice Memos/`
- `{}` Evening Digest stubs under `Notes/`
- `Clippings/2026-05-13-example-domain.md`
- Disposable append-test notes under `Hermes Disposable Tests/`
- `Voice Memos/2026-05-13-final-pipeline-test.md`

A backup of the removed files was moved outside the vault so Obsidian will not index the junk again:

`/home/will/.hermes/backups/obsidian-cleanup/obsidian-cleanup-20260519-102137/`

## Link/index repairs

Created lightweight index/redirect notes for links that appeared to be real, so existing notes and automations can keep resolving paths without changing workflow logic:

- `Inbox/Inbox Home.md`
- `Inbox/Triage.md`
- `Inbox/Chat Summaries.md`
- `Daily/Reviews.md`
- `Diary/Entries.md`
- `Diary/Weekly Reviews.md`
- `Diary/Atlas Reflections.md`
- `Infrastructure/Automation/n8n Morning Brief.md`
- `Infrastructure/Automation/n8n Evening Digest.md`
- `Atlas/Safer Autonomy and Permission Tiers.md`
- `Atlas/Gateway Approval Runbook.md`
- `Atlas/Skill Inventory.md`
- `Atlas/Skill Backlog.md`
- `Vault Conventions.md`
- `Areas/Systems.md`
- `Areas/Health.md`
- `Areas/Finance.md`
- `Areas/Home.md`
- `Areas/Learning.md`
- `Areas/Health and Medical Leave.md`
- `Areas/Legal.md`
- `People/Roxanne.md`
- `People/Liam.md`
- `People/Mila.md`
- `People/Family in France.md`
- `Projects/Hermes Atlas Personal Assistant.md`

Moved `Weekend Activity Ideas.md` content to `Resources/Weekend Activity Ideas.md` and left a root redirect note behind.

## Automation safety checks

- Obsidian Local REST API root: OK
- Obsidian OpenAPI schema endpoint: OK
- n8n container: `n8n-agent`, version `2.11.3`
- n8n health via published local port `127.0.0.1:18808/healthz`: OK
- n8n container state: running/healthy

I did **not** modify n8n workflows or automation configs.

Existing n8n logs contain a pre-existing Python task runner warning because Python 3 is missing inside the n8n image; this is unrelated to the vault cleanup and the container still reports healthy.

## Post-cleanup scan

- Empty notes: 0
- `{}` stub notes: 0
- Disposable test notes matching the cleanup patterns: 0
- Remaining unresolved links: 12, all apparently intentional examples/template placeholders:
  - `Conventions.md`: `Note A`, `Note B`, `wikilinks`
  - `Templates/Atlas Artifacts/*`: `{{project}}`, `artifact-name`

## Notes

I intentionally kept `Templates/Atlas Artifacts/test-report.md` because it appears to be a reusable template, not disposable test output.
