 ### Documentation-only updates
 
+- Refreshed the README repository-layout tree to cover `docs/`, `examples/policies/`, `examples/schema-adapters/`, all four CI workflow examples, the combined report example, `scripts/`, and `package-skills.sh`, with `tests/test_readme_repository_layout.py` drift guards keeping the tree in sync with disk.
 - Added `examples/ci/github-actions/agent-security-prompt-sarif.yml` for prompt-injection signal and exposure SARIF uploads.
 - Added `docs/report-comparison.md` and `examples/ci/github-actions/agent-security-compare-reports.yml` for stored config-risk report comparison.
 - Added `docs/schema-adapters.md` and Phase 12 regression coverage in `tests/test_phase12_schema_adapters.py` for adapter fixtures, explicit ignored fields, SARIF/Markdown adapter reporting, and cross-platform path serialization.

+"""Drift guards for the README repository-layout tree.
+
+The README renders an abbreviated repository layout so new users can find the
+scanners, examples, workflows, and docs quickly. These tests keep that tree
+honest in both directions:
+
+1. Every concrete path named in the tree must exist on disk, so renamed or
+   removed files cannot linger as stale documentation.
+2. New `examples/ci/github-actions/` workflows must be added to the tree, since
+   that directory grows with every new downstream-integration example.
+3. Core top-level entries users rely on (`skills/`, `docs/`, `scripts/`,
+   `package-skills.sh`, `.github/workflows/`) must stay listed.
+
+Abbreviated glob entries such as `*.json`, `test_*.py`, and `*.txt / *.json`
+are allowed and skipped by the existence checks so the tree stays compact.
