+// ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+// PURPOSE
+//   One pass of the repair sweep. Reads the logs of jobs that finished since the last pass,
+//   turns known error shapes into findings, probes for a correction, and either writes a proven
+//   value or leaves the finding for the operator.
+//
+// OPERATIONAL MODEL
+//   Called from ai_repair_sweep.sh, which the watchdog orchestrator runs. Everything it does
+//   lives in include/ai_repair.php so the same code path is what the tests exercise; this file
+//   owns only the lock, the log line, and the exit code.
+//
+// DESIGN PRINCIPLES
+//   Non-fatal, always.
+//       Exits 0 on a disabled feature, a held lock, or a sweep that found nothing. Repair is an
+//       enhancement — the orchestrator that runs it has real work to do either side, and this
+//       must never be the reason a watchdog cycle reports failure.
+//
+//   The summary is logged, not the reasoning.
+//       What was scanned, what was found, what was written. The findings themselves are the
+//       record; duplicating their contents into a log would be two copies to keep in step.
+//
+// OPERATIONAL SAFEGUARDS
+//   One sweep at a time.
+//       flock, non-blocking. A pass that overruns its fifteen-minute slot must not have a second
+//       copy start probing and writing conf underneath it.
+//
+//   Nothing is written unless two switches say so.
+//       AI_REPAIR_ENABLED gates the sweep; AI_REPAIR_AUTOFIX_ENABLED gates writing. With only
+//       the first, this reads and files and changes no configuration at all.

+# ==============================================================================================
+# ================================== AI Repair Sweep ===========================================
+# ==============================================================================================
+# PURPOSE
+# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+# Reads the logs of jobs that finished since the last pass, turns known error shapes into
+# findings, probes for a correction, and either writes a proven value or leaves the finding
+# for the operator to answer.
+# Runs from the watchdog orchestrator. Off unless AI_REPAIR_ENABLED is true.
+# ==============================================================================================
+# OPERATIONAL MODEL
+# ==============================================================================================
+# A one-line shim: exec php on ai_repair_sweep.php in the same directory.
+# The logic is PHP because everything it needs already is — the conf writer with its backups
+# and read-back verification, the findings store, and the probe layer are all functions the
+# WebGUI shares. A bash reimplementation would be a second conf writer, which is precisely the
+# drift the guarded write path exists to prevent.
+#
+# There is no post-run hook in Varaverk; nothing fires when a job finishes. The sweep picks up
+# completed run records instead, so this is one entry in an orchestrator list rather than a
+# call added to forty scripts.
+# ==============================================================================================
+# DESIGN PRINCIPLES
+# ==============================================================================================
+# A Shim, Not a Program
+#   This file exists only because the scheduler runs shell scripts and the work is PHP.
+#   Anything added here would be logic the WebGUI cannot reach, and the operator answering a
+#   finding in the browser must take exactly the same path as the sweep that filed it.
+#
+# Detecting And Repairing Are Separate Trusts
+#   AI_REPAIR_ENABLED alone reads logs, files findings and proposes fixes, writing nothing.
+#   AI_REPAIR_AUTOFIX_ENABLED is what allows a value to be written, and only ever one a probe
+#   has answered on. Both live in master.conf; neither is set by this script.
+# ==============================================================================================
+# OPERATIONAL SAFEGUARDS
+# ==============================================================================================
+# Never Fatal
+#   Always exits 0 — on a disabled feature, a held lock, or a failed pass. The watchdog
+#   orchestrator runs real work either side of this, and a repair sweep must never be the
+#   reason a cycle reports failure.
+#
+# One Sweep At A Time
+#   The PHP takes a non-blocking flock. A pass that overruns its slot cannot have a second
+#   copy start probing and writing conf underneath it.
+#
+# Nothing Is Written That Has Not Answered
+#   A value reaches conf only after a probe got a response from it. Toggles are never written
+#   unattended at all — whether something should be switched on is a decision about intent,
+#   and a probe cannot prove intent.
+# ==============================================================================================
+# CONFIGURATION
+# ==============================================================================================
+#
+# AI_ENABLED                 master switch; nothing here runs without it
+# AI_REPAIR_ENABLED          read logs and file findings
+# AI_REPAIR_AUTOFIX_ENABLED  allow a proven value to be written unattended
+# AI_PROBE_TIMEOUT           seconds a single probe may take
+# AI_FINDING_RETAIN_DAYS     how long closed findings are kept
+#
+# ==============================================================================================
+# RUNTIME MODES

+#
+# ai_repair_sweep.sh
+#     One pass. Files findings, applies proven fixes if autofix is on.
+#
+# ai_repair_sweep.sh --dry-run
+#     Probes and reports what it would do. Writes no conf and does not move the marker, so the
+#     same runs are examined again next pass.
