Test Alignment Audit

All subagent dispatches use disk-mediated dispatch. See shared/dispatch-convention.md for the full protocol.

Audits whether existing tests need updating, removal, or modification after code changes. Distinct from test-gap-writer (which adds NEW tests for missing coverage) — this skill reviews the EXISTING test suite's alignment with changed code.

Announce at start: "Running test alignment audit on [scope description]."

Skill type: Rigid -- follow exactly, no shortcuts.

Execution model: When this skill is running, YOU are the orchestrator. You dispatch the audit and fix agents, handle conditional logic, and return results to the caller. All references to "the orchestrator" in this document refer to you.

Technology-agnostic: This skill works with any programming language and test framework. Examples use generic patterns. The audit agent adapts its checks to whatever language and testing conventions are present in the project.

Why This Exists

Code changes create three categories of test debt that pass silently:
