chore: estate-wide chore + stale-path sweep (2026-04-17)

Part of the estate-wide 2026-04-17 cleanup pass. Commits chore-safe
content only: docs, workflow YAML, gitignore, a2ml migration drift,
editorconfig, ncl. Dependency manifests (Cargo.toml/.lock, package.json,
mix.exs, etc.) and source files intentionally held back so no broken
intermediate states where a .rs commit splits from its Cargo.toml.

Also includes stale-path fixes for four ecosystem moves:
  hypatia       -> verification-ecosystem/hypatia
  echidna       -> verification-ecosystem/echidna
  ephapax       -> developer-ecosystem/nextgen-languages/ephapax
  panic-attacker -> games-ecosystem/panic-attacker

Staged files: 6
Held back (source / dep-manifests): 8

+
+## Tool Overview
+
+### Description
+The `panic-attack` tool is designed for stress testing programs across multiple attack axes (CPU, memory, disk, network, concurrency) and detecting bug signatures using logic programming techniques. It is written in Rust and includes various modules for static analysis, dynamic attacks, and reporting.
+
+### Key Features
+- **Static Analysis**: The `assail` module performs static analysis on target programs to identify weak points and recommend attacks.
+- **Dynamic Attacks**: The `attack` module executes dynamic attacks on target programs across various axes.
+- **Reporting**: The `report` module generates detailed reports on the findings from static and dynamic analysis.
+- **Bug Signature Detection**: The `signatures` module detects bug signatures in crash reports.
+- **Multi-Language Support**: The tool supports multiple programming languages and frameworks.
+
+### Modules
+- `a2ml`: AI manifest handling.
+- `abduct`: File isolation and time-skew testing.
+- `adjudicate`: Aggregates reports into campaign-wide verdicts.
+- `ambush`: Runs target programs with ambient stressors.
+- `amuck`: Mutates files with dangerous combinations.
+- `assail`: Static analysis.
+- `attack`: Dynamic attack execution.
+- `axial`: Observes target reactions across attack axes.
+- `diagnostics`: Self-diagnostics for visibility.
+- `i18n`: Internationalization support.
+- `kanren`: Logic programming techniques.
+- `kin`: Coordination and heartbeat mechanisms.
+- `panll`: Event-chain modeling.
+- `report`: Reporting functionalities.
+- `signatures`: Bug signature detection.
+- `storage`: Report storage and persistence.
+- `assemblyline`: Batch scanning of directories.
+- `groove`: Discovery server for service mesh integration.
+- `mass_panic`: Mass panic orchestration.
+- `notify`: Generates annotated findings summaries.
+- `types`: Common types and structures.
+
+## Static Analysis Objectives
+
+### Goals
+1. **Identify Vulnerabilities**: Detect potential security vulnerabilities in the codebase.
+2. **Code Quality**: Ensure the code adheres to best practices and coding standards.
+3. **Compliance**: Verify compliance with industry standards and regulations.
+4. **Performance**: Identify potential performance bottlenecks.
+5. **Maintainability**: Assess the maintainability and readability of the code.
+
+### Scope
+- **Source Code**: All Rust source files in the `src` directory.
+- **Dependencies**: All dependencies listed in the `Cargo.toml` file.
+- **Configuration Files**: Configuration files such as `Cargo.toml`, `Cargo.lock`, and any other relevant configuration files.
+
+## Preparation Steps
+
+### Step 1: Environment Setup
+1. **Install Rust**: Ensure Rust is installed on the system. The tool is written in Rust, and static analysis tools for Rust will be used.
+   ```bash
+   curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
+   ```
+
+2. **Install Static Analysis Tools**: Install the necessary static analysis tools.
+   ```bash
+   cargo install clippy
+   cargo install rustfmt
+   ```
+
+3. **Install Additional Tools**: Install additional tools for comprehensive analysis.
+   ```bash
+   cargo install cargo-audit
+   cargo install cargo-deny
+   ```
+
+### Step 2: Code Review
+1. **Read the Code**: Familiarize yourself with the codebase to understand its structure and functionality.
+2. **Identify Key Components**: Identify the key components and modules that are critical to the tool's functionality.
+3. **Review Documentation**: Review the documentation to understand the intended use cases and functionalities.
+
+### Step 3: Dependency Analysis
+1. **Review Dependencies**: Review the dependencies listed in the `Cargo.toml` file to identify potential vulnerabilities or outdated libraries.
+2. **Update Dependencies**: Update dependencies to their latest versions to ensure security patches are applied.
+   ```bash
+   cargo update
+   ```
+
+### Step 4: Configuration Review
+1. **Review Configuration Files**: Review configuration files to ensure they are correctly set up and secure.
+2. **Check for Hardcoded Secrets**: Ensure there are no hardcoded secrets or sensitive information in the configuration files.
+
+### Step 5: Pre-Analysis Checks
+1. **Run Tests**: Ensure all tests pass before performing static analysis.
+   ```bash
+   cargo test
+   ```
+
+2. **Build the Project**: Ensure the project builds successfully.
+   ```bash
+   cargo build
+   ```
+
+3. **Run Clippy**: Use Clippy to identify common mistakes and improve code quality.
+   ```bash
+   cargo clippy
+   ```
+
+4. **Run Rustfmt**: Use Rustfmt to ensure the code is properly formatted.
+   ```bash
+   cargo fmt
+   ```
+
