refresh

Delta tracking in production readiness assessments works by comparing new checklist items against a previous analysis to identify improvements and regressions. It matches updated results to prior findings, clearing stale data and confirming which codebase fixes actually resolved previously identified issues.

The best way to validate codebase changes is to perform a fresh assessment that reconciles new checklist items against previous analysis metadata. This approach removes false positives, detects regressions, and updates summary and report files to reflect real progress across all audited domains.

Yes, the refresh process clears stale analysis data before remapping the codebase and running npm, yarn, or pnpm audits. This ensures the reconciliation step accurately compares only current findings against the stored previous analysis metadata without interference from outdated results.

Production readiness reassessment limitations include the need for a complete codebase remapping and full audit re-execution rather than incremental checks. If previous analysis metadata is missing or corrupted, delta tracking cannot compare results or remove false positives effectively.
