# BRIEFING — 2026-10-01T01:07:30Z

## Mission
Fix the hygiene linter failure identified by challenger_m3_1:
1. Add ".agents" to EXCLUDE_DIRS in tools/lint/check_code_and_doc_hygiene.py.
2. Delete rogue file .agents/teamwork/reviewer_m1_2/adversarial_tests.py.
3. Verify with python tools/lint/check_code_and_doc_hygiene.py --strict and python tools/lint/check_documentation_system.py --strict.
