# Audit cleaneg (auditor2, 17 Oct 2026)
Verdict: KILL (redundant with cleane, which is already VERIFIED and has a live lane).
- Arm G (skip serial pullers) vs Q: 299 vs 300 pools; the gate removes exactly 1 pool (0x4defb967..., replay). Forward: G and Q are the same 46 trades.
- fwd n46 mean 2.38x, ex-top3 1.35x (same for G and Q); replay n253 1.43x, ex-top3 1.20x. Identical to cleane (audit-cleane-2915.md), so no new information.
- Gate cannot be proven: births.db has no coverage of these creators (nothing to skip). Gate adds nothing today; if births.db coverage is extended, test it on cleane as an arm instead of a separate test.
- Sellability/outside sellers: same pools and entries as cleane, already covered there.
Action: testmgr2 retires cleaneg (registry retired, cron stop, ledger killed); idea #631 parked until births.db covers creators.
