+# Documentation Audit Report
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+Core documentation contains drift signals indicating inconsistencies between documentation and current project state. This report identifies stale claims, outdated counts, and missing information that judges and engineers would notice.
+
+## Drift Signals Identified
+
+### 1. Test Count Discrepancy (CRITICAL)
+
+**Finding:** README claims "Runs 23 contract tests" but actual test count is 88.
+
+**Location:** README.md line 178
+
+**Current:** "Runs 23 contract tests on Clarinet simnet covering:"
+
+**Actual Count:**
+- Contract tests: 88 test cases in `tests/tipstream.test.ts`
+- Frontend tests: 40+ unit test files covering hooks, utilities, components
+- Total: 128+ tests
+
+**Impact:** Judges may question quality of test coverage given understatement.
+
+---
+
+### 2. Missing Recent Additions (Issue #291 & #290)
+
+**Finding:** Documentation does not mention two major features added:
+
+**Missing from README:**
+- Event Feed Pagination & Selective Enrichment (Issue #291)
+- Last-Known-Good Caching for Resilience (Issue #290)
+
+**Missing from ROADMAP:**
+- Performance optimization work
+- API resilience improvements
+
+**Impact:** Engineers deploying to production won't know about caching behavior or pagination changes.
+
+---
+
+### 3. Auto-Refresh Interval Misalignment
+
+**Finding:** README states "60-second polling" but actual default is 30 seconds.
+
+**Location:** README.md line 20, and contractEvents.js
+
+**Current README:** "Auto-Refresh — 60-second polling"
+
+**Actual Code:** `POLL_INTERVAL_MS = 30_000` (30 seconds) in contractEvents.js line 22
+
+**Impact:** Performance claims and documentation inconsistency.
+
+---
+
+### 4. Token Tip Route Status Unclear
+
+**Finding:** `/token-tip` route listed as available but feature status undefined.
+
+**Location:** README.md line 92
+
+**Issue:** Feature listed but:
+- Not marked as "planned" or "beta"
+- Component exists but needs SIP-010 token support
+- Unclear if ready for production
+
+---
+
+### 5. Extension Contract Status Ambiguous
+
+**Finding:** ARCHITECTURE.md suggests contracts are planned but doesn't clarify status.
+
+**Location:** ARCHITECTURE.md Lines 44-57
+
+**Issue:** Lists contracts as:
+- "planned" but unclear which are in-progress vs. future
+- tipstream-traits exists but others may be stubs
+- No estimated timeline
+
+---
+
+### 6. Admin Dashboard Features Incomplete
+
+**Finding:** README claims admin controls without noting some are behind timelocks.
+
+**Location:** README.md lines 19, 119-123
+
+**Missing Detail:** Some operations have 144-block (~24 hour) timelocks.
+
+**Current:** Lists functions but doesn't clarify which are:
+- Immediate (direct bypass)
+- Timelocked (propose-wait-execute)
+- Restricted to multisig
+
+---
+
+### 7. Security Features Under-Documented
+
+**Finding:** README mentions "PostConditionMode.Deny" but under-explains execution.
+
+**Location:** README.md lines 224-228 vs. actual behavior
+
+**Missing:**
+- Post-condition ceiling calculation
+- Fee-aware validation rules
+- UI enforcement of timelocked paths
+
+---
+
+### 8. Unauthenticated Access Behavior Ambiguous
+
+**Finding:** README redirect behavior unclear for unauthenticated users.
+
+**Location:** README.md line 89 - states "/" redirects authenticated, implies not for unauthenticated
+
+**Missing:** What unauthenticated users see on "/" (landing page description)
+
+---
+
+## Documentation Files Under Review
+
+Core documents audited:
+- README.md (10.8KB) - Primary intro document
+- ARCHITECTURE.md (6.5KB) - System design
+- ROADMAP.md (1.8KB) - Feature planning
+- SECURITY.md (6.3KB) - Security policy
+- CHANGELOG.md (32KB) - Release history
+- docs/*.md (various) - Technical guides
+
+---
+
+## Acceptance Criteria Status
+
+| Criteria | Status | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| Core docs agree on deployed features | ❌ FAIL | Inconsistent test counts, missing features |
+| Stale counts and descriptions removed | ❌ FAIL | 23 vs 88 tests, 60s vs 30s polling |
+| Judge-facing overview included | ❌ MISSING | No standout overview for judges |
+| Docs-maintenance process documented | ❌ MISSING | No checklist or process defined |
+
+---
+
+## Recommended Fixes
+
+### Priority 1 (Critical)
+
+1. Update test count: 23 → 88 contract tests + frontend tests
+2. Update polling interval: 60s → 30s
+3. Document Issue #290 (caching) and #291 (pagination)
+4. Clarify timelocked vs direct admin operations
+
+### Priority 2 (Important)
+
+5. Add judge-facing overview section to README
+6. Clarify /token-tip route status
+7. Update extension contract roadmap with status
+8. Explain unauthenticated user experience
+
+### Priority 3 (Enhancement)
+
+9. Add docs review checklist to release process
+10. Create feature status legend
+11. Document performance metrics baseline
+
+---
+
+## Proposed New Sections
+
+### README Addition: "Project Status Overview"
+
+Quick reference for judges and reviewers:
+- Live features and their status (beta, stable, experimental)
+- Performance baseline numbers
+- Test coverage overview
+- Known limitations
+
+### Documentation Maintenance Process
+
+Add to CONTRIBUTING.md:
+- Quarterly docs audit checklist
+- Review test counts documentation
+- Verify all feature statuses
+- CI check for outdated version numbers
+
+---
+
+## Files Requiring Updates
+
+Priority order:
+1. README.md - Test counts, polling interval, missing features
+2. ROADMAP.md - Add recent optimization work
+3. ARCHITECTURE.md - Clarify extension contracts
+4. SECURITY.md - Clarify admin operation types
+5. docs/README.md - Add maintenance checklist

 ## Problem
 
 Content creators and community contributors lack a simple, transparent way to receive micropayments. Existing solutions rely on centralized intermediaries that take large fees and can freeze funds. TipStream solves this by putting tipping directly on-chain where every transaction is verifiable, fees are minimal (0.5%), and no one can censor payments.
