# 1-orphaned

Pins the **stale / orphaned** taxonomy edge → `delete-range` exact-edit kind →
derived `confirm` tier (delete-range is destructive + irreversible).

**Scanner signal exercised:** `broken_reference`. `docs/orphan.md` links to
`./gone.md`, which is absent from `input/`, so the scanner emits exactly one
`broken_reference` signal on `docs/orphan.md`. The doc is otherwise unreferenced
and describes a dead workflow — the coherent justification for *orphaned* rather
than a link-repair (`replace-text`): there is no live target to repair to, so the
block is deleted.
