docs(audit): v1.15 post-milestone audit — PASS (rebrand header fixes + 6 checks)

Audit of v1.15-Nova milestone: reconstruction PASS (27 commits, 20 with
ci blocks, 7 merges per convention, state matches checkpoint). File
discipline: 10 auto-fixed rebrand-completeness gaps — 9 .ciagent/*.md
headers still said ACDL (PROJECT/REQUIREMENTS/ROADMAP/RESEARCH/AUDIT/
REVIEW/COST/IAM_POLICY/CAPABILITY_INVENTORY → Nova) + config.json
projects[].name → Nova. Active v1.15 sections already Nova; historical
v1.1-v1.14 narratives left as-is. Branch hygiene PASS (6 phases + 1
milestone all merged, 0 orphans). Commit discipline PASS (0 non-merge
commits without ci blocks, 0 unresolved escalations). 6 audit checks
all PASS. Verdict: PASS.

+Branches: 6 v1.15 phase branches (all merged to main), 1 milestone branch
+(merged to main). No orphans. PASS.
+
+Commits: 27 total, 39 `---ci---` blocks, 7 merge commits (no blocks, per
+convention), 0 non-merge commits without `---ci---`, 0 unresolved
+escalations. PASS.
+
+Audit Checks (runAuditChecks):
+  1. HEAD on main (milestone complete) — PASS
+  2. CHECKPOINT.json exists — PASS
+  3. CHECKPOINT consistent with latest `---ci---` (phase 5, v1.15,
+     complete, v1.15.4) — PASS
+  4. Report template exists — PASS
+  5. No pending escalations (grill: 0 open; log: none) — PASS
+  6. Milestone version in config (v1.15) consistent with checkpoint — PASS
+
+Issues fixed (audit auto-fix):
+  - 9 `.ciagent/*.md` file headers still said "ACDL" after the v1.15
+    rebrand (P1 lead-developer left `.ciagent/` to P0; P0 added the
+    rebrand-in-progress banner to PROJECT.md only; the other file
+    headers were never rebranded). All 9 headers now say "Nova".
+  - config.json `projects[0].name` still said "Agentic Cloud Delivery
+    Platform" (display label, not the repo slug). Now "Nova — The New
+    Dawn of DevSecOps". The `slug` ("acdl") + `release.gitea.repo`
+    ("acdl") stay unchanged per D-105 (real repo name).
+
+Notes:
+  - Historical narrative sections in ARCHITECTURE.md/COST.md/GRILL.md/
+    AUDIT.md/REVIEW.md (v1.1–v1.14 addenda) still mention `acdl-*`
+    resource names + `ACDL_*` env vars — these describe each milestone
+    as-shipped and are acceptable as historical record per project
+    convention. The active v1.15 sections use Nova.
+  - The 7 merge commits without `---ci---` blocks is the established
+    convention (merge summary IS the record; the merged phase commits
+    carry the blocks). Matches v1.14 precedent.
+
+Verdict: PASS — Project state is fully reconstructable from git log.
+All 6 audit checks pass. 10 auto-fixed issues (9 stale headers + 1 config
+name) were rebrand-completeness gaps, not structural defects.
