Auditing registry consistency involves verifying that design artifacts in the spec/design directory are correctly listed in the `.registry.json` file, ensuring all key fields are synchronized to maintain traceability and pass constraint checks.

Constraint acceptance checks fail when design artifacts like Architecture Decision Records (ADR) or Data Models are missing or mismatched in the project registry, breaking the required traceability chains between the spec/design directory and the registry.

The best way to identify registry discrepancies is to audit the project registry against design artifacts, which generates a report on missing, redundant, or mismatched items to ensure design consistency and traceability.

You verify field synchronization by auditing the project registry to confirm that the key fields of Architecture and Data Models match the corresponding design artifacts in the spec/design directory.

No external artifact management tool is required; you can audit Value Streams and Sequence Diagrams by checking the local spec/design directory against the `.registry.json` file to find missing or redundant artifacts.
