+### Page-material passages in type-spec.md, type-guidance.md and language-boundaries.md name subtype templates
+
+Found in the closing check of the change below: three documents listed what in `types/` is page
+material - and therefore in the KB language and the instance's to rewrite - as the `## Template`
+block and the `layout:` titles alone. `types/type-spec.md` (§ Who owns a type-spec, its prose and
+its language table), `types/type-guidance.md` (§ Conventions) and
+`docs/language-boundaries.md` now name the subtype templates `types/<name>.<value>.md` among
+them, and a comment in `dist_cmd` does the same for `dist adopt`'s scope. No behaviour change
+(Gitea #117).

 ### new: a subtype gets its own page skeleton from types/<type>.<value>.md
