Sweep

Terminology or number consistency sweep after a change - find every stale occurrence across the HIP, its assets, and the linked vote surfaces. Use when the user renames a term ("top-up" to "re-emission", "charter" to "governance framework"), changes a number ("2x to 3x", "3 weeks to 2"), or says "sweep for", "make consistent", "any other places with".

HIP Consistency Sweep

Input: old term/value → new term/value (or "check consistency of X").

Surfaces — all of them, every time

The HIP file itself, plus files/NNNN/ assets. Figure sources count: labels and captions live in the generation scripts, and a stale label survives regeneration.
Sibling references: README index, the tracking issue, other HIPs that reference this one.
Linked vote surfaces when they exist: the heliumvote vote-summary gist and the helium/helium-vote proposal entry.

If the user maintains private working materials for the HIP, remind them the same sweep applies there via that material's own flow — never quote private content into public text here.

Method

Grep with variants: singular + plural, spaced + hyphenated ("12 month", "12-month", "12 months"), with and without tilde, case variants. A single-form regex hides survivors (\b36[- ]month\b misses "36 months").
For a number change, also sweep derived figures: a 2x→3x cap change moves every threshold computed from it.
Em/en dash detection needs Python ('—' in line or '–' in line); grep -E "—" can miss them depending on locale.
Report every hit as file:line with the proposed replacement BEFORE editing anything — some hits are historical quotes or alternatives-considered text that must stay.
After edits: regenerate affected figures and PDFs, then re-run the full grep set and show zero survivors.
