docs(agents): the consumer census now searches the monorepo itself - #896
The blast-radius rule tells authors to list a shared workflow's callers with the monorepo's consumer census, and then to check a few places the census does not cover. One of those was the monorepo's own workflows. Since devantler-tech/monorepo#4925 the census searches the monorepo itself, so that part of the note is no longer true.
What
The rule now says the census covers the monorepo and its submodules, and the monorepo is no longer in the list of places to check by hand. The other limits stay: branches other than the default one, repositories that are not submodules, and repositories that run a required workflow through an organization ruleset.
devantler-tech/monorepo#4925 added the monorepo as a census row, so the
blast-radius rule no longer needs to send readers to search it by hand.

Walkthrough
The consumer-census instructions now require a . row for the monorepo and direct users to update older checkouts if it is missing. They limit census coverage to default branches of the monorepo and its non-archived submodules. The instructions also identify other branches, non-submodule repositories, and repositories subject to required-workflow rulesets as requiring separate checks. They remove the separate check for the monorepo’s own workflows and its reference to issue 4917.
Possibly related issues
Issue 287 — The guidance updates the scope of the consumer census, including the monorepo and its submodules.
Issue 202 — The guidance identifies required-workflow consumers as needing separate inventory checks.
Issue 762 — The guidance specifies that the census includes the monorepo and its submodules.
This guidance change is documentation-only and low risk. It says a . row proves the monorepo was searched, but a checkout cloned from a stale fork can show that row and still miss consumers. Clarify that the census must run against the authoritative repository before relying on it.

A checkout older than devantler-tech/monorepo#4925 runs a census that
skips the monorepo without saying so. The row for `.` is the tell.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Require a current submodule inventory.
The census reads .gitmodules from the local checkout, not from the fetched default-branch commit. A checkout made after #4925 can have the . row but still omit submodules added later. The census then silently misses those repositories. Require a current submodule inventory before relying on the output. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

only still-valid issues, skip the rest with a brief reason, keep changes

Review comments at @AGENTS.md:
- Line 333: Update the consumer census guidance around consumer-census.sh to
verify that the `.` row represents the authoritative monorepo, not a fork’s
default branch; require checking the configured remote or separately verifying
consumers against the authoritative repository before accepting the census.

## Actions catalogue
### Maintaining the catalogue
**Blast radius first:** a change to a composite action / reusable workflow affects **every consumer repo**. Prefer additive, backward-compatible changes; call out any breaking input/output change prominently in the PR body and treat it as a deliberate decision (keep an alias where feasible). List the consumers first with the monorepo's [`consumer-census.sh`](https://github.com/devantler-tech/monorepo/blob/main/.claude/scripts/consumer-census.sh): from a monorepo checkout, `.claude/scripts/consumer-census.sh "<path inside this repository, such as .github/workflows/<name>.yaml, without owner or ref>"` (that form matches both remote and same-repository callers) prints each caller's `file:line`; read each caller's inputs there, because an input-name search misses callers that rely on a default. An `UNKNOWN` repository was not searched, which is never zero consumers. T...
… fork
The monorepo row searches the checkout's origin, so a stale fork could
report no consumers.
