+- FLEET.md — the Reviewers wake describes the deployed sweep, not the `gh search` trigger the bench replaced: the pulls-API `requested_reviewers` sweep across the org plus the named bot forks is source 1, the `repos.txt`/search poll an adds-only backstop, and the two are merged and deduplicated by (repo, PR) before acting. Only the notifier's `needs-ruling` queue remains on paper; `repos.txt` is the registry only on the triage box; and the Status block now stamps the crew ref the file was last reconciled against (#149).
