fix(ci): drop unmatched **/*.mdx pathspec from quarterly-doc-audit - #31

…d-paths peter-evans/create-pull-request's git add treats multiple pathspec arguments atomically: since this repo has zero .mdx files, the **/*.mdx pathspec always fails with 'pathspec did not match any files', which aborts the whole git add — so none of the 44 legitimately modified .md wiki files get staged either, and the commit step then fails with 'no changes added to commit'. Confirmed via gh run view --log-failed on run 31956740627 (head_sha d999eda, current main HEAD) and reproduced locally: an unmatched pathspec element in a multi-pathspec git add aborts the entire command. This is unrelated to the prior --strip-components=1 CLI tarball fix (#29), which is already correctly in place. find . -iname '*.mdx' confirms this repo has no mdx files, so drop the pattern entirely rather than working around it.

…d-paths (#89) Consistency fix alongside cli/plugins (same underlying bug as nself-org/plugins#31): this repo has zero .mdx files, so git add -- **/*.md **/*.mdx ... would fatal on the unmatched **/*.mdx pathspec and abort the whole add the moment the audit actually finds and stages real .md changes. Currently latent — ntask's last audit run on current main HEAD was clean (workflow_dispatch run 31957713422, head_sha 403e72f, conclusion success) — but the bug is real and would break the next run that finds doc drift.

… add-paths (#33) The real, complete root cause of the Open-auto-fix-PR failures (after the mdx-pathspec fix in #31): .claude/ is gitignored repo-wide (org-standard per GCI -- '.claude/ standard: gitignored AI memory', confirmed via 'grep claude .gitignore' hitting 5 separate ignore lines here). git add's multi-pathspec matching is atomic and does NOT count gitignored files as a match even when the file genuinely exists on disk with fresh content -- reproduced locally: echo '.claude/' > .gitignore; git add .gitignore; git commit -qm init mkdir -p .claude/qa/findings; echo '{}' > .claude/qa/findings/test.json git add -- '.claude/qa/findings/*.json' # fatal: pathspec '.claude/qa/findings/*.json' did not match any files So '.claude/qa/findings/*.json' in add-paths was ALWAYS going to fail git add the moment any other add-paths pattern (**/*.md) also had real changes to stage -- confirmed live: run 31958209014 on commit 5b79fb2 (the #31/#32 fix) failed with exactly this pathspec, once the mdx bug was out of the way and 44 real .md changes needed staging. This isn't a real loss: the JSON report is already preserved via the 'Upload JSON report' actions/upload-artifact step (180-day retention) and fed into the PR body directly via body-path, independent of git staging. Dropping it from add-paths means it simply never gets committed into the repo -- which is correct, since .claude/ is supposed to stay untracked everywhere.

Summary
Quarterly doc auditwas failing on current main HEAD (run 31956740627, head_sha d999eda) — this is a NEW, unrelated bug, not a residual of the CLI-tarball extraction fix (fix(ci): correct nself release tarball extraction in quarterly-doc-audit #29), which is already correctly in place with--strip-components=1.peter-evans/create-pull-request'sadd-pathslist included**/*.mdx, but this repo has zero.mdxfiles.git add's multi-pathspec matching is atomic — one unmatched pathspec element aborts the entiregit add, so none of the 44 legitimately modified.mdwiki files got staged either.
