+### Tutorials: installation in English, and a first source to a first answer (#191)
+
+`INSTALL.md` stays at the root and is now the English installation tutorial, the first one `docs/tutorials/README.md` lists; its generated prerequisites lists and `setup-question` markers are unchanged, and `docs verify`'s finding for a missing question names the English section "What the agent asks you". The new `docs/tutorials/first-source-to-first-answer.md` walks a fresh instance through one ingest and two questions, one the wiki answers with citations and one it has no source for, using `docs/tutorials/sample-source.md`, a short made-up note that ships with every instance. `README.md`'s "Your first ingestion" is a link to it, which finishes `README.md` as a landing page.
+
 ### The root documents split into `docs/` pages (#190)
 
 The task and explanation parts of `README.md`, `INSTALL.md`, `INSTALL-MCP.md` and `EVALS.md` are now single English pages: eleven how-to guides under `docs/how-to/` (ingest, capture, guideline export, query, maintenance, weekly review, Obsidian, updating an instance, troubleshooting, the MCP read server, tracing and scoring sessions), a hand-written `docs/reference/configuration.md`, and `docs/explanation/architecture.md` and `telemetry-and-evaluation.md`. A guide says what to prepare, what to tell the agent and where it stops; it links an agent's procedure instead of retelling it. `INSTALL-MCP.md` and `EVALS.md` are gone from the root and from `dist export`, so an upgrade removes them as retired; `README.md` is a landing page, and `INSTALL.md` keeps only the installation itself. Pointers in messages and command records, among them `version check`'s, name the new pages.

+# From your first source to your first answer
+
+In this tutorial you put one document into a fresh instance, let the agent turn it into wiki
+pages, look at what it wrote, and then ask the wiki a question and follow the answer back to the
+document. It takes about a quarter of an hour. You need nothing but the instance and your harness:
+the document is a sample that ships with the instance.
+
+You start from an instance that [INSTALL.md](../../INSTALL.md) has just set up, with the agent
+session restarted afterwards so that it has loaded its skills. Ask the agent `Which skills do you
+have?` if you are unsure - `wiki-ingest` and `wiki-query` should be among them.

+<!-- /wikitool:toc -->
+
+## 1. Put the sample source into `incoming/`
+
+`incoming/` is where everything you want in the wiki waits until it is ingested. Copy the sample
+there - copy, not move, so the tutorial page keeps its sample:
+
+```bash
+cp docs/tutorials/sample-source.md incoming/home-lab-backups.md
+```
+
+On Windows in PowerShell 7:
+
+```powershell
+Copy-Item docs/tutorials/sample-source.md incoming/home-lab-backups.md
+```
+
+Open [the sample](sample-source.md) and read it once. It is a page of notes about the backups of a
+small home file server called Atlas: which tool makes them (restic), where they go, and why there
+are two targets (the 3-2-1 backup rule). Knowing what it says will let you check the agent's work.
+
+## 2. Ask the agent to ingest it
+
+In the agent session, say:
+
+```text
+Ingest
+```
+
+A bare `Ingest` takes the oldest entry waiting in `incoming/` - here, the only one. The agent
+reads the whole file before it writes anything.
+
+## 3. Tell the agent what matters
+
+The agent comes back with the key takeaways of the document and a few questions: which points
+matter most, which things should get a page of their own, and whether the document carries
+something you have to *do*. Answer in your own words, for example:
+
+```text
+Atlas, restic and the 3-2-1 rule are what matter. Nothing to do from this one.
+```
+
+The pages it writes next follow your answer, so this is the moment to steer. The agent may well
+notice that the notes leave something untested and offer to track it as a task; "nothing to do"
+declines that.
+
+Often the same message already asks the two questions of the next step. Then answer them in the
+same reply.
+
+## 4. Answer the two capture questions
+
+Before the file leaves `incoming/`, the agent asks two things about the capture itself:
+
+- **`fidelity`** - how faithful is this file to the original? The sample is the notes exactly as
+  written, so the answer is `verbatim`.
+- **`authority`** - what may the material claim about its subject? The notes describe how a setup
+  works; they do not set a standard anyone else has to follow. The answer is `reporting`.
+
+```text
+verbatim, reporting
+```
+
+The agent never guesses these two. Only you know them, and only now: once the file is in the wiki,
+nobody can tell any more where it came from. [raw/CONTRACT.md](../../raw/CONTRACT.md#capture-fields-fidelity-and-authority)
+lists every value, for the sources you add later.
+
+## 5. Let the agent publish
+
+The agent now moves the file into `raw/`, writes the pages, and publishes everything as one
+commit. For a source this small that goes straight through; the agent tells you what it committed.
+If your instance has no remote, the commit stays on your machine.
+
+A larger source - ten or more new or changed pages and files, not counting the generated indexes
+and log - stops at the Mass-Update Gate instead: you see the list of files and a line ending in
+`--confirm <token>`, and nothing is committed until you tell the agent to go ahead.
+
+## 6. Look at what it wrote
+
+Ask the agent where the pages are, or look yourself. You will find:
+
+- **The file itself under `raw/`**, in a folder for the current year and month. It is never edited
+  again.
+- **A source page under `kb/sources/`**, summarising the notes. Its frontmatter carries your two
+  answers, `fidelity: verbatim` and `authority: reporting`, and `raw_files:` points at the file in
+  `raw/`.
+- **Entity and concept pages** for what you said matters - Atlas, restic, the 3-2-1 backup rule,
+  in the language and naming your instance chose at setup. Each one links back to the source page,
+  and each claim taken from the notes carries a footnote citing it.
+- **A new entry at the end of `kb/log.md`**, recording the ingest.
+
+The exact set of pages depends on your answer in step 3, and on the agent: two runs of this
+tutorial do not produce word-for-word the same wiki. What is always the same is that every page is
+tied back to the file in `raw/`.
+
+## 7. Ask a question
+
+Start a new agent session, so that the answer can only come from the wiki and not from what the
+agent remembers of the ingest, and ask:
+
+```text
+How are the backups of Atlas protected against a fire in the house?
+```
+
+The answer names the storage box outside the house as the copy that survives, and the 3-2-1 rule
+as the reason it exists. It cites the pages it came from and the source behind them. Open one of
+the cited pages and follow its footnote: it leads to the source page, and that one to the file in
+`raw/` - the notes you copied in step 1.
+
+Now ask something the notes do not answer:
+
+```text
+How long does a full restore of Atlas take?
+```
+
+The notes say only that one has never been tried. The agent tells you that the wiki has no source
+for this, rather than estimating one. That is the rule behind every answer: no claim without a
+source.
+
+## 8. Optional: browse it in Obsidian
+
+Open the instance's root folder as a vault in [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md). The graph view shows
+the pages you just made and the links between them. Read there as much as you like, but change
+pages through the agent: [Browse the wiki in Obsidian](../how-to/browse-with-obsidian.md) explains
+why.
+
+## What next
+
+You have taken one source all the way from a file to a cited answer. From here on, the how-to
+guides cover the everyday tasks:
+
+- [Ingest a source](../how-to/ingest-a-source.md) - your own files, folders and web pages
+- [Query the wiki](../how-to/query-the-wiki.md) - and search it yourself
+- [Maintain the wiki](../how-to/maintain-the-wiki.md) - the lint the agent suggests every ten
+  sources

+# Home lab backups - how they work now
+
+Notes written after reworking the backups in September 2026. This file is the sample source for
+the tutorial "From your first source to your first answer"; the machine and its setup are made
+up for it.
+
+## The machine
+
+**Atlas** is the small file server in the hall cupboard: a fanless mini PC with two 4 TB disks
+in a mirror, running Debian 13. It holds the family photo archive, scanned documents and the
+configuration of every other machine in the house. Everything else on the network is replaceable;
+what is on Atlas is not.
+
+## The tool
+
+Backups are made with **restic**, an open-source backup program. restic splits files into chunks,
+stores each chunk only once and encrypts everything before it leaves the machine, so the backup
+target never sees a file name or a byte of content in the clear. A restic *repository* is the
+storage location it writes to; a *snapshot* is one backup run.
+
+restic was chosen over plain `rsync` for two reasons: deduplication keeps the daily runs small,
+and encryption makes it safe to put a copy on storage someone else operates.
+
+## How it is set up
+
+Atlas runs restic every night at 02:30 from a systemd timer. Each run writes one snapshot to two
+repositories:
+
+- a USB disk that stays plugged into Atlas, for fast restores;
+- a rented storage box at a hosting provider, reached over SFTP, as the copy outside the house.
+
+Snapshots are thinned out by `restic forget` after each run: the last 7 daily, 5 weekly and
+12 monthly snapshots are kept.
+
+## Why two targets
+
+The setup follows the **3-2-1 backup rule**: keep three copies of the data, on two different
+kinds of storage, with one copy off site. Here the three copies are the mirror on Atlas itself,
+the USB disk, and the storage box. A fire or a burglary takes the first two; the storage box is
+what is left.
+
+The mirror alone does not count as a backup. It protects against a dead disk, but a deleted or
+encrypted file is deleted or encrypted on both disks at once.
+
+## What is still open
+
+The restore has been tried once, for a single folder, from the USB disk. It worked and took
+under a minute. A full restore from the storage box has not been tried.
