# X_DOC_CONFIG_ALLOWANCE_STALE

## Means

an entry in `DOC_CONFIG_KEY_ALLOWANCES` matches nothing in the tree

## Typical cause

the page was fixed or deleted and its licence to cite an unknown key outlived it. The list may only shrink by being wrong, so a stale entry is a finding rather than dead weight

## Fix

delete the `{ path, cites }` entry the finding names from `DOC_CONFIG_KEY_ALLOWANCES` in `scripts/doc-config-keys.ts`
