+## Deep Audit And Remediation Pass: 2026-05-20
+
+Ran a current-head deep audit across all 58 Gitea repositories plus mapped local project roots.
+
+### Audit Outputs
+
+- Local raw JSON: `.stewardship-audit-2026-05-20/deep-audit.json`
+- Local triage report: `GITEA_DEEP_AUDIT_TRIAGE_2026-05-20.md`
+
+### Findings
+
+- Initial high-confidence credential findings: 7 across 3 repos
+- High-confidence credential findings after remediation: 0
+- Generic secret-like findings still requiring manual review: 389 across 26 repos
+- Repos with release-blocking binary/archive artifacts: 9
+- Release-blocking binary/archive artifacts: 227
+- Repos with nested Git checkouts or gitlinks found: 18
+- Final license files added: 0
+
+### Remediation Applied
+
+- Redacted local Discord Google API keys and Discord token files in mapped nested workspaces.
+- Redacted embedded Wi-Fi credentials and Google API key in `p4-voice-panel`, committed, rebased onto the Gitea head, and pushed.
+- Fixed invalid `.gitattributes` comment syntax across all 58 repos.
+- Archived duplicate repos `4-way-handshake-2` and `4-way-handshake-3`; canonical repo is `4-way-handshake`.
+- Added `.gitmodules` metadata for known nested gitlinks in 13 repos:
+  `bw16`, `clams-av-gui`, `discord-automation-workspace`, `discord-tooling-collection`, `docker-compose-scratchpad`, `esp32c5-workspace`, `evil-cardputer`, `iceman-webui`, `mayhem`, `meetme-bot-workspace`, `meshtastic-workspace`, `s3nfc`, `security-scripts-tools`.
+
+### Still Blocked
+
+- `c5-project` gitlink `esp32-wifi-penetration-tool` has no confirmed source URL.
+- `car-key-killer` gitlink `cypher-pulse` has no confirmed source URL.
+- Licenses remain unresolved because the audit did not prove authorship/upstream license status sufficiently to add final `LICENSE` files.
+- Generic secret-like findings need manual review before verified releases.
+- Binary/archive artifacts need removal, release-asset migration, or provenance documentation before verified releases.
+
+### Keeper Decision
+
+Do not create verified releases or enable branch protection yet. Real CI and branch rules should follow after the remaining secret review, license/provenance resolution, and binary artifact cleanup.
