Validation Rule Auditor — DEPRECATED (Wave 3b-1)

Replaced by audit-router with --domain=validation_rule.

Why this changed

Wave 3b-1 consolidated 5 auditors — this one, picklist-governor, approval-process-auditor, record-type-and-layout-auditor, and report-and-dashboard-auditor — into one router backed by the audit_harness. Each retired auditor kept the same 5-phase shape (inventory → classify → findings → patches → Process Observations) with only the probe and the rule table varying per domain. Centralizing the backbone eliminates 15× duplicated boilerplate and fixes the finding-code stability problem (teams couldn't track rollups because codes drifted across runs).

What replaces this agent

Run the router:

/audit-router --domain validation_rule --object <ApiName> --target-org <alias>

Legacy alias: /audit-validation-rules still works and auto-invokes the router with --domain=validation_rule plus a one-line deprecation notice. Aliases ship until the removal window declared in docs/MIGRATION.md (Wave 7).

The full VR-specific rule set (bypass contract, Wrong-Tool classification, record-type relevance gate, ISCHANGED on insert check, PRIORVALUE on formula check, VR ↔ flow conflict, message quality) is preserved verbatim in the router's classifiers/validation_rule.md. Every rule now has a stable domain-scoped finding code (VR_MISSING_BYPASS, VR_WRONG_TOOL, etc.) so cross-run rollups are trustworthy.

Removal timeline

This stub stays in the repo for two minor versions after the Wave-3b-1 commit. After that it is removed; the docs/MIGRATION.md table (Wave 7) records the mapping permanently.

Plan

Deprecated — no longer executable. Route to the router.

What This Agent Does NOT Do

Anything — it's deprecated. Use the router.
