-## Scope
-This report audits branches currently visible in the local repository and classifies stale codex/agent branches without performing any branch or PR mutations.
+## Scope and limitation
+This report is intentionally conservative. Local branch visibility in this workspace is incomplete for cleanup decisions because it may not include the full remote GitHub branch inventory.
 
-## Branch inventory (visible in repository)
-- `work` (current branch)
+Before any delete decision, the complete remote branch inventory must be collected and reviewed (including `codex/*` and `agent/*` branches on GitHub).
+
+## Branch inventory status
+- Local snapshot observed in this workspace is not sufficient to determine stale-branch deletion safety.
+- Remote GitHub branch inventory was not collected in this report.
 
 ## Classification
 
 ### Likely safe-delete candidates
-None.
+Deferred pending complete remote GitHub branch inventory and review.
 
-<!-- Safe-delete commands (commented out):
-# gh api repos/:owner/:repo/git/refs/heads/<branch> -X DELETE
+<!-- Example commands only (commented out):
+# gh repo view --json nameWithOwner
+# gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/branches --paginate
+# gh pr list --state all --head <branch-name>
 -->
 
 ### Manual-review candidates
-None.
+- All `codex/*` branches (manual review required after remote inventory collection).
+- All `agent/*` branches (manual review required after remote inventory collection).
+
+<!-- Example review workflow (commented out):
+# git fetch --all --prune
+# git branch -r | sed 's#^  ##'
+# gh pr list --state all --limit 200
+-->
 
 ### Keep
-- `work` — active working branch.
+- Current working branch in active use (keep unless explicitly reviewed in a separate decision process).
 
 ## Notes
-- No stale `codex/*` or `agent/*` branches were visible in this repository snapshot.
 - No branches were deleted.
 - No PRs were closed or merged.
