# X_SOURCE_BARE_ERROR_EXEMPT_STALE

## Means

an exemption in the bare-`Error` inventory names a site that holds no bare throw

## Typical cause

the throw it allowed was repaired, or the file was renamed or deleted — and an exemption nobody reads is a licence the next throw inherits. The inventory is per SITE, so one row can never excuse a replacement thrown elsewhere

## Fix

`bun run scripts/test-bare-error.ts --json`, then delete the stale row from `scripts/lib/source-bare-error-exemptions.ts`
