docs-drift-maintenance

To check for documentation drift before a release merge, run a drift maintenance pass after implementing code changes. It maps changes to affected docs and outputs concrete edits with drift status, impacted docs, required updates, and verification checks.

Documentation drift is the misalignment between code, config, workflow, or UX changes and their corresponding docs, leading to inconsistent user experiences and incorrect behavior. It occurs when updates are made without synchronizing all affected documentation surfaces.

You can keep public repository docs in sync by running an event-driven drift audit after configuration changes. It enforces a structured coverage check across multiple doc surfaces and outputs concrete remediation suggestions with traceability.

Yes, the docs verification process supports continuous drift detection across local operator docs, public repository docs, and extension public profiles, ensuring structured remediation and alignment across all these surfaces before merges and releases.

The best way to audit docs quality during change management is to apply a periodic or event-driven drift detection pass. It maps code changes to affected docs, enforces a coverage check, and outputs required updates with verification checks before merging.
