$ca-adr-status — ADR health scan

Survey the health of recorded ADRs. Read-only — no file is modified. With `--adr N` the scan focuses on a single ADR; with no argument it scans every ADR under `<project-root>/.codearbiter/decisions/`.

Routes to

The `decision-lifecycle` skill ([routines/decision-lifecycle/SKILL.md](../../routines/decision-lifecycle/SKILL.md)) in its health-scan mode. For each ADR it flags: aged decisions, `proposed` ADRs never challenged, supersession candidates (a newer ADR or code pattern contradicts the decision), and unresolved `[CONFIRM-NN]` placeholders. Findings aggregate into a structured report; nothing is changed.

When NOT to use

• Author a new ADR → `$ca-adr`.
• Challenge or reconcile a specific ADR in depth → `$ca-reconcile`.
• Ask what a specific ADR says → `$ca-btw`.

Hard gate

Read-only — MUST NOT modify any file. MUST NOT resolve a `[CONFIRM-NN]` found during the scan — surface it and stop. A supersession candidate that contradicts an accepted ADR is flagged for `$ca-conflict`.
