+### raw accept --replaces-bundle: Erfolgsmeldung und Record nennen die A-Liste neben git diff
+
+`raw accept --replaces-bundle` closed with "`git diff` on the bundle shows the edition's
+changes", and its command record said the same. Files the new edition added are still untracked
+at that point, so `git diff` never shows them - a session that read only the diff missed every
+new file. The success line and the record now say that `git diff` shows the `M` and `D` files
+and that the `A` files are only in the list the accept prints, matching what `raw/CONTRACT.md`
+and `wiki-ingest` already said. Drop-in: wording only, no behaviour changes (Gitea #181).

 - A file already at its computed destination is what "already exists" reports, not a partial prior run to resume - safe to retry as-is once a cause is fixed.
 - A folder carrying `_capture.json` at its top is a captured bundle (`raw capture`): `--fidelity`/`--authority` come from that manifest only and are refused on the command line; the folder must hold exactly the files the manifest lists. `_capture.json` goes in no `raw_files:`.
 - `--replaces-bundle <raw-bundle>` replaces a captured bundle under `raw/` with the new edition in `incoming/<bundle>` at the same address: files gone from the new edition are removed, emptied directories `rmdir`ed, and afterwards the bundle holds exactly the new manifest's files plus `_capture.json`. `raw_files:` is left untouched; an owning source page's `fidelity`/`authority` is overwritten where the new manifest differs.
-- `--replaces-bundle` prints each changed file as `A`/`M`/`D`, grouped by owning source page with its citing pages, and the `touch --page ... --add/--remove raw_files=` lines that follow; `git diff` on the bundle shows the edition's changes.
