Minion Sweep

Codebase-wide maintenance scan.

When to Invoke

• User requests "add docstrings to all files"
• Periodic codebase cleanup
• Tech debt reduction

# Discover what needs work
source .venv/bin/activate && python scripts/minions.py --json sweep <dir> --task <task>

# Apply fixes
source .venv/bin/activate && python scripts/minions.py --json sweep <dir> --task <task> --apply

Tasks
