Top 10 highest-priority items

  1. /guide/applicant/application/who-can-ask-information-rti - wrong J&K language, OCI/PIO ambiguity is a legal-misinformation risk (P0, Agent 1).
  2. /guide/applicant/application/procedure-for-inspection-under-rti - visible Rs 5 per 15 minutes fee error in body (P0, Agent 1).
  3. /guide/applicant/application/where-you-cannot-apply-rti - bare statute paste with no citizen guidance for the corruption + human-rights override (P0, Agent 1).
  4. /guide/applicant/second-appeal vs /start - duplicate canonical hurting both rankings (P0, Agent 1 + Agent 2 redirect).
  5. /guide/applicant/second-appeal/complaint - visible <fs 130%> inline CSS, no FAQ (P0, Agent 1).
  6. /guide root - no .txt source; needs Agent 2 hub page.
  7. /guide/applicant/fundamental-facts vs /fundamental-facts-about-rti - duplicate intent, Agent 2 to merge.
  8. /guide/guidelines-for-public-authority + /guidelines-for-public-information-officer - both old prose (Agent 3).
  9. /guide/applicant/application/information-free-of-cost - only 39 lines, missing Section 7(5)/(6) framework (Agent 3).
  10. Sitewide URL-italic trap in /guide/applicant/second-appeal/cic and several samples - Agent 5 sweep.

Cross-cutting issues for other agents

  • Backup .bak files in /data/pages/guide/ (19 files dating 2026-04-19 to 2026-05-04) - Agent 2 should archive-and-delete to keep namespace clean.
  • /start vs no-/start canonical - second-appeal has both /second-appeal.txt and /second-appeal/start.txt. Same pattern may exist for other namespaces; Agent 2 to audit.
  • host.tld URL italic trap - confirmed in /second-appeal/cic.txt (cic.gov.in line). Agent 5 sitewide sweep needed.
  • Inline <fs x-large> / <fs 130%> - found in /second-appeal.txt and /complaint.txt; Agent 5 should remove all uses (DokuWiki <fs> renders inline-style spans; not in our design system).
  • Pre-DPDP-2025 case-law citations - Girish Deshpande reference style needs to flag the Section 8(1)(j) substitution; Agent 5 schema layer.
  • Sample-RTI bulk Drafter CTA - Agent 3, after rewriting officer pillars, should add the AI RTI Drafter CTA block to all 45 sample/* pages.
