# ic-memory audit methods
Select a method from the unchanged [shared catalog](../../audits/README.md),
recorded by [.shared-tooling.snapshot](../../.shared-tooling.snapshot).
[Code hygiene](recurring/code-hygiene.md) is the local product overlay. Its trust,
storage and command obligations also apply when a structural method touches those
boundaries; the shared catalog owns method selection and evidence requirements.
Storage correctness, IC lifecycle qualification and performance retain their
domain evidence under [the documentation index](../README.md). No audit adoption
adds a schedule, automatic repair authority or broad gate.
New hygiene reports stay in `docs/audits/recurring/`. Historical reports and the
[frozen old method](recurring/frozen/README.md) remain evidence for their named
source and scope. They are not comparable whole-product PASS or risk scores under
the new methods. See the [adoption review](recurring/shared-tooling-adoption-2026-10-06.md).
