# Free Local Vault Intelligence Audit

The **Vault Intelligence Audit** (`/vault-audit`) is a private, client-side tool that analyzes local Markdown folders or ENEX exports to give you a comprehensive health and migration report.

## Local Processing Boundary

- **On-Device Audit Processing**: The audit pipeline scans selected files inside your web browser using local code and Web Workers.
- **No Audit-Content Upload**: The local audit request does not upload note text, filenames, structure, or attachments. Product telemetry, when enabled, contains only coarse operation metadata.

## Key Audit Metrics & Health Checks

The audit tool inspects your vault for:
- **Inventory & Organization**: Note count, folder depth, attachment size, and link density.
- **Broken & Unresolved Links**: Lists WikiLinks or Markdown links that point to missing target files.
- **Orphan & Unlinked Notes**: Identifies isolated notes with no incoming or outgoing connections.
- **Duplicate & Near-Duplicate Notes**: Pinpoints identical or heavily overlapping files.
- **Decision & Commitment Extraction**: Identifies candidate decisions and open action items in raw notes.
- **Migration & Attachment Risks**: Flags unsupported proprietary formatting, oversized attachments, or syntax conversion warnings.
- **Knowledge Health Score**: Calculates an overall score (0–100) with actionable recommendations for improving vault structure.

## Dedicated Workspace Screen & Shortcuts

- **Dedicated Vault Health Screen**: Accessible anytime at `/app/audit` (or via the Library menu) to keep your main Dashboard clean and focused.
- **Power-User Shortcut**: Press **`Ctrl+Shift+A`** anywhere in the application to jump directly to Vault Health.
- **Command Palette Trigger**: Launch **`Ctrl+K`** and type `Vault Health` to trigger a local scan instantly.

## Running an Audit

1. Visit `/vault-audit` on the public website or open **Vault Audit** (`/app/audit`) inside your application workspace.
2. Select a local folder or ENEX file (or scan your active workspace vault).
3. Review the interactive audit report, download the JSON summary, or proceed directly to the **Migration Wizard** to import or refine your vault in Basalt.
