Scope-cut: only shipping survives

The build-gate rule applied to entire repos: if it doesn't ship value to a user today, archive it.

Killed today (33 repos) — categories:

• 14 India-data APIs — every entry under repos/oriz/own/svc/api/ (air-quality, currency-rates, flow-fii-dii, gold-silver, ifsc, india-budget, india-holidays, india-petrol-diesel, india-train-schedules, india-weather, mf-nav, mmi-tickertape, nse-bse-tickers, pincode, rbi-rates — openmodel-shim was killed earlier).
• All "scaffold" apps — cards, finance, health, packages, tools, oriz-forge-dev-tools-app, oriz-cipher-crypto-tools-app, oriz-omni-post-app.
• 2 of 5 books — oriz-paisa-book, oriz-pdf-book (meta books not started; only chapter outlines existed).
• 4 Phase A repos created hours earlier — template, tools, backup-already-was-kept, secrets.
• 1 hub — status (no probes wired; would have shipped a static "all green" page).
• 1 auth — auth (orphaned by the no-auth-in-apps-or-apis rule).
• 1 forked extension — chathub (personal-use-only fork; not distributable to CWS).

Surviving repos (~20):

• blog, journal, me, home
• oriz-ncert-app, oriz-lore-app, oriz-janaushdhi-app
• ai-rewrite-bs-ext, bookmark-mind-bs-ext, dearrow-plus-bs-ext, sops-lens-vsc-ext
• clear-thought-mcp-server (kept on review)
• userscripts, agent-skills
• freellmapi, omniroute
• oriz-janaushdhi-book, oriz-me-book, oriz-stack-book (kept on review)
• backup, oriz-portfolio-engine-app

Some "kept on review" entries above may need a second-pass check.

Generalizes build-gate-top3-must-have-defect from features to repos.

Related: atomic-packages-lazy (the package-side counterpart — extract lazily, not speculatively).

Why same-day reversal of Phase A: template, tools, secrets were created speculatively. None had shipping content; all met the kill criterion.
