+# Entwicklung dieses Stacks
+
+Dieses Dokument richtet sich an Menschen, die an `tools/wikitool`, dem Type-Schema oder der
+Instruction-/Skill-Schicht selbst arbeiten - nicht an den Konsumenten einer Instanz. Für die
+Gegenseite (eine Instanz installieren, aktualisieren, betreiben) siehe [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md).
+
+**Diese Datei wird nicht ausgeliefert.** Sie ist das menschliche Gegenstück zu
+`instructions/dev/`, das `tools/wikitool dist export` vollständig ausschließt: eine
+ausgelieferte Instanz hat keinen Release-Workflow, keine CI und kein Issue-Board, also braucht
+sie auch keine Anleitung dafür. `dist_cmd.ROOT_FILES` listet sie deshalb bewusst nicht - der
+Grund steht dort als Kommentar, damit eine spätere Sitzung die vermeintliche Lücke nicht
+"repariert". Und weil sie nicht ausgeliefert wird, darf sie - anders als `README.md`,
+`INSTALL.md` oder `EVALS.md`, die `instructions verify` auf genau diesen Punkt prüft - nach
+`instructions/dev/` verlinken.
+
+## Der Release-Ablauf
+
+Zwischen zwei Releases führt der Stack **einen** laufenden Versionskandidaten statt einer neuen
+Nummer pro Bump. Das volle Modell - Zustandsort, Eskalationslogik, warum eine Nummer erst durch
+ein Release verbraucht wird - steht in
+[instructions/dev/version-parts.md](instructions/dev/version-parts.md) und
+[docs/version-model.md](docs/version-model.md). Hier nur der Ablauf, in der Reihenfolge, in der
+eine Sitzung ihn tatsächlich durchläuft:
+
+1. **Bump eröffnet oder eskaliert den Kandidaten.**
+
+   ```bash
+   tools/wikitool version bump --minor --title "Was sich geändert hat"
+   ```
+
+   Schreibt `VERSION` als `X.Y.Z-beta.N` und öffnet (oder aktualisiert) den passenden
+   `CHANGES.md`-Eintrag. Mehrere Bumps für dieselbe Änderung sind normal - jeder aktualisiert
+   denselben Eintrag, statt einen neuen zu eröffnen.
+
+2. **Der Eintrag bekommt seine Prosa.** `bump` schreibt nur das Skelett (Heading, Datum, Autor,
+   die maschinenverwaltete Bump-Titel-Liste, ggf. Breaking-/Migration-Zeile). Der Fließtext
+   darunter ist Autorenarbeit, wie bei `new` und der Seiten-Prosa.
+
+3. **Verify laufen lassen, bevor irgendetwas gepublished wird:**
+
+   ```bash
+   cd tools && .venv/bin/python -m pytest -q
+   tools/wikitool docs verify
+   tools/wikitool instructions verify
+   ```
+
+4. **`version release` fixiert den Kandidaten**, sobald er ausgeliefert werden soll:
+
+   ```bash
+   tools/wikitool version release --title "Zusammenfassender Titel"
+   ```
+
+   Streicht den `-beta.N`-Suffix aus `VERSION` und schließt den Changelog-Eintrag. `--title` ist
+   optional - ohne ihn bleibt der Titel des letzten Bumps stehen; mit ihm bekommt ein Kandidat,
+   der mehrere Bump-Titel gesammelt hat, eine zusammenfassende Überschrift. Committet und pusht
+   nichts (Invariante 5 in [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md)).
+
+5. **Publish bewegt `VERSION` auf `main`.**
+
+   ```bash
+   tools/wikitool publish --message "..."
+   ```
+
+   Das Mass-Update-Gate und das Publish-Remote-Gate gelten wie bei jedem anderen Publish -
+   siehe [instructions/gates.md](instructions/gates.md).
+
+6. **CI übernimmt den Rest.** `.gitea/workflows/release.yml` reagiert auf jeden Push, der
+   `VERSION` bewegt: Eine suffixbehaftete `VERSION` (ein Kandidat) lässt den Job sauber
+   überspringen, bevor er die Releases-API überhaupt anfragt - Betas werden nie veröffentlicht.
+   Eine suffixfreie `VERSION` baut die Distribution (`dist export`), erzeugt Tag und Release und
+   lädt Tarball plus Prüfsumme hoch. **CI setzt den Tag, nie eine Sitzung** - das hält
+   Invariante 5 intakt.
+
+Die drei Verify-Befehle stehen oben in Schritt 3; was jeder von ihnen prüft, steht in
+[tools/CONTRACT.md](tools/CONTRACT.md) und wird dort von `docs verify` gegen die tatsächliche
+CLI gehalten. Hier steht es bewusst **nicht** noch einmal: eine zweite Beschreibung derselben
+Befehle ist genau die Kopie, die driftet (AGENTS.md Invariante 8), und dieses Dokument liegt
+außerhalb der Dateien, die der Kommandotabellen-Check von `docs verify` abdeckt - hier fällt eine
+Drift also niemandem auf. Was `pytest` an dieser Stelle vom Entwickler erwartet, steht in
+[instructions/dev/testing-conventions.md](instructions/dev/testing-conventions.md).
+
+## Die CI-Hälfte
+
+`.gitea/workflows/ci.yml` läuft auf jeden Push/PR gegen `main` (Content-Pfade ausgenommen) und
+führt Testsuite, `docs verify`, `instructions verify` sowie einen vollständigen
+`setup-instance.md`-Replay gegen einen frischen `dist export` aus - derselbe Pfad, den ein neuer
+Nutzer tatsächlich geht. `.gitea/workflows/nightly.yml` ist der Drift-Check gegen die Zeit statt
+gegen einen Commit. `.gitea/workflows/release.yml` ist Schritt 6 oben.
+
+## Stack-Entwicklung als eigener Sitzungstyp
+
+Der `stack-dev`-Skill (`instructions/dev/`, nur in diesem Ursprungs-Repo vorhanden) fasst die
+Regeln für eine Sitzung, die den Stack selbst statt Wiki-Inhalt bearbeitet: wann
+Quellenbindung nicht gilt, wo Design endet und die mechanische Phase beginnt (mit dem
+Modellwechsel-Hinweis), und endet mit dem Publish. Die Schlussphase - Issue-Body als Rewrite
+statt Kommentar, `docs/`-Veralterung, die Modell-Handover-Zeile über die ganze Sitzung - liegt
+seit `4.6.0` in einem eigenen Folge-Skill, `stack-close`, den `stack-dev` an dieser Stelle
+übergibt statt sie als weiteren eigenen Schritt zu führen. Siehe
+[instructions/dev/issue-tracking.md](instructions/dev/issue-tracking.md) für den
+Issue-Tracker selbst.

+# Ownership and Templates
+
+Chemenu ships two kinds of files side by side, and at a glance they look the same: both are
+plain markdown, both sit in the repo root or under `kb/`, both get read at session start. But a
+stack upgrade treats them completely differently. Some - [AGENTS.md](../AGENTS.md),
+[kb/CONTRACT.md](../kb/CONTRACT.md), the per-stage contracts - are identical in every instance
+that runs this stack and are the next release's to replace (with one caveat about local edits,
+below). Others - `USER.md`,
+`SOUL.md`, `kb/CONVENTIONS.md`, `ENVIRONMENT.md` - describe one particular instance, and
+overwriting them would silently erase a choice someone made on purpose.
+
+## Two different kinds of truth
+
+The stack-owned files describe how the tool works. `kb/CONTRACT.md` opens by saying it holds
+what `tools/wikitool` enforces or what follows mechanically from how it operates - see
+[kb/CONTRACT.md](../kb/CONTRACT.md), lines 10-13. That kind of statement doesn't vary by
+instance: the compiler behaves the same way regardless of who is running it, so the sentence
+describing that behavior can be copied byte-for-byte into every checkout without becoming
+wrong anywhere.
+
+The instance-owned files describe a choice: which language pages are written in, what tone the
+agent takes, who the operator is, which git remote is authoritative, which MCP servers are
+reachable. None of that follows from the tool's mechanics - two instances of the identical
+stack can answer all of these differently and both be correct. [AGENTS.md § Personalization](../AGENTS.md#personalization)
+frames the split the same way for `kb/CONTRACT.md` versus `kb/CONVENTIONS.md`: "the split is by
+who may change the sentence, not by what it is about." A rule about page structure could in
+principle have been written per-instance too, but then every instance answering "not German" to
+setup would be hand-editing a file the stack also ships, and the next `dist export` merge would
+hand the instance's own file back to it, discarding the customization.
+
+## Why silent overwrite is the failure being designed against
+
+A stack update is meant to be a routine, low-risk operation: pull the latest release, get
+whatever fixes and features shipped since the last one. That only stays low-risk if the update
+knows which files it's allowed to touch. If `USER.md` or `kb/CONVENTIONS.md` were treated the
+same as `AGENTS.md` - shipped and periodically re-copied - an upgrade would quietly replace a
+description of *this* operator, in *this* language, with whatever placeholder or default the
+stack maintainers wrote. The damage wouldn't be loud: nothing crashes, the files still parse,
+the agent just starts acting on the wrong premises until someone notices the voice or the
+language changed.
+
+Keeping the boundary at the file level, rather than trying to merge changes within a shared
+file, means an upgrade never has to guess which lines are "stack" and which are "instance" -
+the file itself already answers that.
+
+## Why the boundary is a predicate rather than a list
+
+For a while the boundary was written down as a list of paths - once in `dist_cmd.py`, once in
+the merge procedure a private instance was told to run by hand, and once in the check that
+procedure ended with. Three copies of one fact, which is the shape [AGENTS.md](../AGENTS.md)
+invariant 8 exists to forbid, and they drifted exactly as predicted: the hand-run procedure was
+still naming three paths after the collection contracts had moved to the instance's side of the
+line, so it discarded upstream changes to files it had never heard of, while its own final check
+excluded the same three paths and therefore reported success.
+
+`chemenu/ownership.py` replaced the lists with one question - is this path, under a content
+stage, the stack's or the instance's? - answered by shape rather than by enumeration:
+`<stage>/CONTRACT.md`, and anything ending `.template`. Both consumers ask it, so `dist export`
+and `wikitool upstream merge` cannot disagree, and a machinery file added under a content stage
+tomorrow is recognised by both without either being edited. The deeper point is not the
+deduplication: a list has to be maintained by whoever remembers it exists, and the failure mode
+when nobody does is silence, because a path the list has never heard of simply looks like
+content.
+
+## Why a `.template`, not just an absent file
+
+The mechanism for instance-owned content is a `.template` file the distribution ships instead
+of the real one - `USER.md.template`, `SOUL.md.template`, `kb/CONVENTIONS.md.template`,
+`ENVIRONMENT.md.template`. An alternative would have been to ship nothing at all and let a
+brand-new instance start from a blank page. The template exists because a blank page doesn't
+tell [instructions/setup-instance.md](../instructions/setup-instance.md) what shape the answer
+should take, and it gives nothing for a validator to check afterward.
+
+A template carries a placeholder value - a sentinel - in the fields that need a real answer.
+Setup interviews the operator and replaces the sentinel with what they actually said. That
+gives `doctor` a mechanical way to tell "personalized" from "not yet": a file that still
+contains the sentinel hasn't been through setup, regardless of whether the file exists. That's
+also why `ENVIRONMENT.md` only warrants a WARN rather than a FAIL when absent - see
+[AGENTS.md § Environment](../AGENTS.md#environment) - while a missing or unfilled
+`USER.md`/`SOUL.md`/`kb/CONVENTIONS.md` is a harder failure: `ENVIRONMENT.md` describes one
+checkout among possibly several and is gitignored for that reason, so its absence is a normal
+state rather than a sign setup was skipped.
+
+## The consequence in practice
+
+An upgrade sorts every shipped path into three categories, not two - and the third one only
+becomes visible once an upgrade is a command rather than a hand-run copy:
+
+- **Verbatim files** - `AGENTS.md`, `kb/CONTRACT.md`, the per-stage contracts, everything under
+  `tools/`, `types/` and `instructions/` - are the release's to replace.
+- **`.template`-sourced files** - `USER.md`, `SOUL.md`, `kb/CONVENTIONS.md`, each
+  `kb/<name>/COLLECTION.md`, `ENVIRONMENT.md`, the `root: kb` type-specs - are never written by
+  an upgrade at all. The distribution ships only the `.template` beside them, so the filled file
+  is out of reach by construction rather than by a rule someone has to remember.
+- **Seeded-once files** - `.wikitool-kb.json`, `CHANGES.md`, `kb/log.md`, `raw/*/.gitkeep` - are
+  written into a *new* instance by `dist export` and belong to the instance from then on. They
+  are the awkward category: they sit in the release stamp's file list like any other shipped
+  file, so an upgrade has to exclude them deliberately (`chemenu.ownership.is_export_stub` and
+  `is_upgrade_preserved`). An upgrade that re-seeded them would reset the record of which
+  migrations ran, or erase the changelog the instance wrote for itself.
+
+The first category carries a caveat that the word "verbatim" hides. It says who *decides* the
+content, not that overwriting is always safe: an instance can still have edited a verbatim file
+- a patched `tools/`, a locally adjusted instruction - and an upgrade assuming otherwise would
+destroy that silently. Avoiding that assumption is the whole reason `dist export` records a
+sha256 per shipped file in `.wikitool-release.json`. `wikitool dist upgrade` compares every
+candidate path against the digest recorded when it was installed, overwrites only what still
+matches, and refuses rather than overwrite what does not.
+
+So the practical rule is narrower than "overwrite the verbatim files, leave the rest alone":
+overwrite the verbatim files *this instance has not touched*, never write the other two
+categories, and make a locally changed file a decision someone takes deliberately instead of
+one an upgrade takes for them. The template-sourced files were filled in once, by a person, for
+a reason, and nothing about a newer release of the stack's mechanics gives it standing to
+override that.

+# Why the pipeline has four stages
+
+Chemenu could, in principle, be one directory: drop a file in, ask a question, get an answer
+computed fresh each time. It isn't built that way. The pipeline in
+[AGENTS.md](../AGENTS.md#routing) - `raw/` -> `[types/ + tools/]` -> `kb/` -> `reports/`, with
+`work/` alongside rather than inside it - separates *material* from *meaning* from
+*byproduct*, and each seam exists because collapsing it costs something specific.
+
+## Why raw material stays untouched
+
+[raw/CONTRACT.md](../raw/CONTRACT.md) keeps a source exactly as it arrived. The reasoning is
+simple once stated: the moment someone "cleans up" or reformats a source on the way in, the
+thing later claims get checked against is no longer the thing that was actually said. An
+immutable `raw/` means a citation always resolves to the original, not to somebody's tidied
+memory of it. It also draws a trust boundary in one place instead of scattering it - everything
+past `raw/` can be treated as reviewed, because nothing upstream of it silently already was.
+
+## Why extraction happens once, through a schema
+
+[types/type-spec.md](../types/type-spec.md) is what stands between a raw file and a `kb/` page:
+a type-spec defines what a conforming instance of a page looks like, and the compiler
+(`tools/wikitool`) applies it. The alternative - every query re-reading and re-interpreting the
+source on demand - would mean paying the cost of understanding the material every single time,
+and getting a slightly different answer each time depending on how the question was phrased.
+Extracting once, against a fixed schema, turns "re-read and re-guess" into "look up what was
+already compiled." That is the "never re-derive, always compile" principle from
+[AGENTS.md](../AGENTS.md): understanding a source is expensive and worth doing exactly once,
+after which it becomes a cheap, stable lookup.
+
+## Why a `kb/` page has to stand on its own
+
+[kb/CONTRACT.md](../kb/CONTRACT.md) sets the bar for the compiled layer: a page should answer a
+future question without sending the reader back to the source it came from. That's the payoff
+of compiling in the first place - if every answer still bottomed out in "go re-read the raw
+file," the `kb/` layer would just be a pointer with extra steps, and the cost of extraction
+would have bought nothing. A page that stands alone is what makes the corpus fast and
+consistent to query: the work of understanding is already sitting there, done.
+
+## Why `reports/` doesn't need to be maintained
+
+[reports/CONTRACT.md](../reports/CONTRACT.md) treats most of what lands in `reports/` -
+lint output, telemetry traces - as disposable. The structural content of a lint report can be
+recomputed from the tree at any commit, so keeping an old copy around would just be a second
+version of something the tool can already answer on demand, and a second copy is exactly the
+kind of thing that quietly goes stale. Treating it as derived output rather than a fourth thing
+to maintain means there is nothing there to fall out of sync - regenerating it is cheaper than
+reconciling it. The one part that genuinely can't be recomputed - the judgment a pass produced -
+is carried out into `kb/` or `kb/log.md` before the report itself is discarded, which is the
+distinction between what's recomputable and what isn't.
+
+## Where `work/` fits
+
+[work/CONTRACT.md](../work/CONTRACT.md) describes a workshop, not a fifth pipeline stage: a
+place for the notes, extracts and open decisions of a task that spans more than one session, on
+its way toward becoming a `kb/` page. It sits beside the raw -> kb -> reports flow rather than
+inside it - closer in spirit to a desk than to a conveyor belt.
+
+## The shape this produces
+
+Four stages, each answering a different question: `raw/` - what was actually said; `types/` +
+`tools/` - how to turn that into structured understanding; `kb/` - what is now known;
+`reports/` - what a pass over the corpus noticed in passing. Keeping them separate is what lets
+each one be trusted for what it is, instead of every layer having to double as all four at
+once.

+# Why the stack version splits compatibility from migration
+
+A stack version number looks like it answers one question. It actually answers two, and the two
+are independent of each other.
+
+## Two questions, not one
+
+The first question is whether the new version is a drop-in replacement for the old one - whether
+an existing instance can install it, and can also go back, without anyone doing hand-work. That
+is what a version number *is*: a promise. The second question is whether the existing corpus in
+`kb/` needs to change shape to keep working under the new version. These sound like the same
+question, because most of the time a change that breaks compatibility also happens to touch
+content, and most of the time a change that leaves content untouched also happens to be
+compatible. The correlation is real; it just is not a law. `instructions/dev/version-parts.md`
+carries the actual test for telling them apart and the steps that follow from it - this page is
+about why the split exists at all.
+
+## Why "kb/ untouched" is not proof of anything
+
+The tempting shortcut is: if no page in `kb/` had to change, the bump can't be that serious. This
+is exactly backwards for a class of changes that live entirely outside the corpus - a renamed
+release artefact, a Python import path, an environment variable, the URL an instance's own
+updater points at. None of those touch a single page. All of them can strand an existing
+instance just as thoroughly as a rewritten type-spec would. The corpus is the part of the stack
+that looks at itself; the compatibility question is about everything an instance depends on to
+keep functioning, most of which the corpus never sees.
+
+## Reading compatibility off the leftmost non-zero component
+
+Semantic versioning gives every component a job, but only one of them is where an existing
+instance's tooling actually looks to decide "is this safe." On a `2.x` stack that is MAJOR; on a
+still-pre-1.0 `0.x` stack, by the same convention, it's MINOR - the leftmost slot that isn't
+pinned to zero is the one an automated updater treats as the compatibility boundary. Bump
+anything to its left, or bump that slot itself, and the promise changes. Everything to the right
+of it can move as freely as the project likes without touching that promise. This is why the
+question "is it boundary-crossing" always resolves to one specific digit, not to a feeling about
+how big the change is.
+
+## Downgrade is half the promise
+
+It's natural to test compatibility by only asking "does the upgrade work." The other half -
+"can an instance that upgraded put the old version back and land where it started" - carries
+equal weight, and it's the half that's easy to forget because forward motion is what everyone is
+testing for anyway. A state file the old version can no longer parse, a generated index in a new
+shape, a stamp file that got renamed: none of these have to break the upgrade to break the
+downgrade. An instance that can go forward but not back has already lost the property a
+compatible version number is supposed to guarantee.
+
+## A promise made to a machine, not only to a person
+
+A human reading a changelog can absorb "this technically isn't compatible but it's fine, just
+update those two things by hand." An instance's own update mechanism cannot. It reads a version
+number, decides whether to pull the new release, and has no channel for nuance - which is exactly
+why the update path itself is one of the sharpest ways to cross the boundary invisibly: if the
+new version moves where updates come from, the very channel that would have told an instance to
+adjust is the channel that just broke. The version number isn't documentation aimed at a reader;
+it's an input consumed by code that has no other way to ask.
+
+## The 2.0.0 story
+
+This isn't hypothetical for this stack. The rebranding that produced Chemenu renamed the repo,
+the release artefact, and the Python package - and left every page in `kb/` untouched. The first
+instinct was a MINOR bump, on the reasoning that nothing in the corpus needed migrating. That
+reasoning was correct on its own terms and answered the wrong question. Three things broke
+underneath it: every existing instance's `update_url` pointed at a repo path that no longer
+existed and, because it's a machine-written file, couldn't be hand-repaired; the release artefact
+name changed, breaking every download script and pin against it; and the import name changed,
+breaking anything importing the package from outside the shipped tree. The corpus had nothing to
+say about any of this, because none of it lived in the corpus.
+
+What caught the mistake was a person looking at the diff and asking whether it really was a
+drop-in replacement, not a validator. No check in `docs verify` or anywhere else confirms that a
+version part was chosen correctly - it only confirms that a boundary-crossing bump documents
+what it breaks. The 2.0.0 entry in `CHANGES.md` carries the corrected reasoning in full, and the
+version bump that shipped it was `--major --no-migration`: boundary-crossing and untouched
+corpus, at the same time, which is precisely the combination the two-question split exists to
+make visible.
+
+## Why a number is only spent by a release
+
+Everything above is about what a version number *promises*. A separate question turned out to
+matter just as much in practice: how many numbers get handed out along the way to making one
+release. For a while the answer was "one per bump," and that turned out to be the wrong grain
+entirely.
+
+Two mechanisms decide when a number gets minted, and they answer different questions. CI's
+version gate asks a *commit*-level one: has this tree changed since the last push, and if so
+has `VERSION` moved with it. A release asks something else entirely: is this a state worth
+handing to someone, under a number they will pin against. Tying the second to the first - every
+`VERSION` move firing the release workflow - answers the gate correctly and the release question
+by accident, because it treats every bump as if it were about to ship when most bumps are steps
+toward a release that has not happened yet.
+
+The failure mode is not phantom numbers; every one of those releases was real, tagged and
+downloadable. It is that "real" stopped meaning anything. On 2026-09-03 this repository cut four
+releases in six hours - `4.3.0` through `4.3.3` - for one continuous arc of work, two of them for
+prose changes alone. Someone tracking the feed saw four upgrades and had no way to tell which, if
+any, was a moment worth stopping for. A release is a promise addressed to a consumer, and a
+promise made four times an afternoon is not a smaller promise, it is a less legible one.
+
+The fix is not to slow the gate down - it still wants `VERSION` to move every time, and it still
+gets that. It is to stop treating every movement as a number worth publishing. Between two
+releases the stack now carries one running candidate, escalating through `-beta.N` as bumps
+accumulate, and only `version release` spends the number for real by fixing it and closing its
+changelog entry. A number is proposed by a bump and spent by a release; conflating the two was
+the actual defect, not the arithmetic of any single bump.
+
+This is also why a candidate never gets to a distributed instance. The promise a released version
+makes - "install this, and it is exactly what its number says" - has no equivalent for something
+still being decided during a single dev checkout's session. `release.yml`'s only job with respect
+to this is refusing to act on a suffixed `VERSION` at all: not because a beta is unsafe, but
+because there is nothing yet to promise.
+
+## Where the procedure lives
+
+The drop-in test, the catalogue of changes that cross the boundary with no page touched, and the
+steps for a boundary-crossing bump - the `--breaking` line, the migration document or
+`--no-migration` reason, talking to the user before bumping - are one procedure, kept at one
+place: [instructions/dev/version-parts.md](../instructions/dev/version-parts.md).

+Chemenu has three hard limits - the Mass-Update Gate, the Publish-Remote Gate, and the

+place as every other piece of guidance a session is holding - alongside the task, the user's
+last message, and whatever context made the moment feel urgent. Under pressure, or with a
+plausible-sounding reason ("this batch is different, it's mechanical"), that guidance can be
+reasoned around without anyone deciding to break a rule. Nothing enforces it; it just competes
+for attention with everything else in the context window, and sometimes loses.
+
+A check compiled into the tool doesn't have that problem, because it isn't part of the
+conversation at all. It runs before the command dispatches, regardless of how convincing the
+case for skipping it seemed a moment earlier. The difference isn't that code is smarter than a
+well-written instruction - it's that code doesn't get talked into anything.
+
+## Why three different mechanisms, not one
+
+The three gates ask three different questions, and each one's shape follows from what kind of
+question it is.
+
+The Mass-Update Gate asks *is this change too large to publish unreviewed* - a judgment that
+varies changeset by changeset, so it clears with a `--confirm` token tied to the specific
+output the user just read. Approval is scoped to that one publish.
+
+The Publish-Remote Gate asks something underneath that: *is this even the right repository*.
+That's not a per-push judgment, it's a standing property of the checkout - true or false for
+every publish that checkout will ever attempt, not just this one. A confirm token would let an
+agent clear it once and then treat the answer as settled, which is exactly backwards for a
+question whose answer shouldn't move at all mid-session. The only way past it is the user
+editing `.wikitool-remotes.json` directly, outside the gate's own flow.
+
+The Iteration Budget Gate asks a third kind of question - not "is this instance correct" but
+"has this session stopped making progress." That's read from the shape of the call history
+itself (call count, repeated identical calls), not from anything about the content of any one
+call.
+
+## Numbers that come from measurement, not intuition
+
+The iteration ceiling didn't start where it sits now. It used to run 15-25, borrowed from a
+general rule of thumb, until four real ingest runs measured 24, 26, 29 and 30 calls apiece -
+every one of them an ordinary workflow doing nothing wrong, and every one of them at or past
+where the old ceiling would have refused it. A limit that the normal case keeps tripping stops
+functioning as a limit; it becomes background noise a session learns to route `--override-budget`
+around as a matter of course, and the whole point of a hard-coded check is that it isn't supposed
+to feel routine.
+
+That's the deeper reason these numbers live in a tool rather than in prose: prose is read once
+and remembered loosely, but a threshold enforced every call is tested by every call, and a
+threshold that fails its own test gets noticed and re-measured rather than quietly ignored.

+---
+# Keep kb/ curated enough to develop against, without a second corpus
+
+This instance runs one `kb/` for two purposes at once: a public demo and the testbed this stack
+is developed against. There is deliberately no fixture corpus, no `--with-demo` export, and no
+second repository - see Gitea #28. The corpus's size and shape are set by what targeted
+development needs, not by a synthetic fixture size or a demo aesthetic.
+
+## When to run
+
+- Before judging whether the corpus can exercise a change under development - ranking, index
+  scaling, orphan detection, a new label, a new type-spec.
+- Before a reactive fix touches `kb/` content rather than the failing code - the floors below
+  are what decides whether the fix may proceed as-is.
+- Picking up Gitea #28 or #30, or any issue that references this file.
+
+## The floors
+
+Each is mechanically checkable with an existing `wikitool` command; none needs new tool code.
+A floor exists to keep some class of bug observable, not to describe an aesthetic target - so
+when a session is about to make one of these numbers *worse*, that is the signal to stop and
+think, not a number to defend for its own sake.
+
+| Floor | Check | Why this number |
+|---|---|---|
+| Every page type has ≥1 page | `wikitool search --field type=types/<t>.md` | A type with zero pages means its schema, its collection contract and its lint rules are unexercised |
+| Every declared subtype has ≥1 page | `wikitool search --field <x>_type=<v>` | Same reasoning, one level down - `entity_type`, `concept_type`, `source_type` |
+| ≥5 pages corpus-wide with ≥3 `sources:` entries | one-off script, see below | Provenance fan-in - multiple sources backing one claim - is a real case only a handful of pages exercise; fewer than 5 and a provenance-index bug can hide |
+| Orphan pages (no inbound link) between 1 and 10 | `wikitool lint` | Zero orphans makes orphan detection itself unobservable; more than 10 means the corpus stopped being curated |
+| Average outbound wikilinks per page ≥4 | one-off script, see below | Below this, ranking and graph-traversal work has too little structure to exercise |
+
+A floor is a lower bound only. There is no upper bound on page count or on any of these numbers
+except the orphan ceiling above - a corpus that outgrows these floors through real ingests is
+not a problem this file cares about.
+
+**Measured 2026-09-03** (see Gitea #28): 181 pages, 14/14 types and subtypes covered, 12 pages
+with ≥3 sources, 3 orphans, 6.2 average outbound links. All floors held without any manufactured
+content - the corpus was already big enough when the question was asked.
+
+A type or subtype sitting at exactly the floor - one page - shows no set-level bugs, only that
+the type is *reachable*. That is a soft target for the next `wiki-ingest` that happens to
+produce a matching page, never a reason to write one: filing an unsourced page to clear a floor
+is exactly what AGENTS.md invariant 3 forbids, floor or no floor. The same holds for an
+authorised link label with zero live uses (`wikitool xref` reports these) - fill it when a real
+edge calls for it, never manufacture one to exercise the label.
+
+To check the two floors without a dedicated command, walk `kb/**/*.md` (excluding
+`INDEX.md`/`COLLECTION.md`/`CONTRACT.md`/`CONVENTIONS.md`), parse frontmatter, and: count pages
+whose `related:` array (resolved against page titles) has ≥3 entries for outbound density; count
+`sources:` array length ≥3 for the provenance floor. `wikitool search` and `wikitool lint`
+cover everything else in the table.
+
+## What a reactive fix may do to kb/ content
+
+Three tiers, by how much of the corpus a change touches:
+
+1. **Pointwise - always allowed.** Creating, updating, renaming or deleting a single page
+   through the normal tools (`new`, `touch`, the page-lifecycle procedure), below the
+   Mass-Update Gate's threshold. This is ordinary work and needs no special permission.
+2. **Corpus-wide - planned only, never reactive.** A migration, a vocabulary sweep, a bulk
+   `touch` across many pages. This needs its own issue and, per `work/CONTRACT.md`, a `work/`
+   run - never a same-session reaction to whatever the session was originally doing. If a
+   session hits the Mass-Update Gate (exit 42, see `instructions/gates.md`) while working on
+   something else, it does not fetch the `--confirm` token to push through: it stops, opens an
+   issue for the corpus-wide change, and finishes the original task without it.
+3. **Reactive - never allowed.** Deleting or reshaping a page to make a failing test pass;
+   restructuring corpus content to route around a tool bug (AGENTS.md invariant 7); using
+   `kb/` as a scratch surface for a tool experiment. If a stack change under development needs a
+   corpus shape that does not exist, build it as a pytest fixture (see the next section) -
+   never manufacture it in `kb/`.
+
+## Relationship to the test fixtures
+
+`tools/chemenu/tests/conftest.py`'s `kb_dir`/`raw_dir` fixtures and `test_pipeline_l0.py` cover
+the **small, isolated** case: a handful of pages, built fresh per test, hermetic. `kb/` covers
+the **large, connected** case: 181+ pages, grown link density, real provenance history that no
+per-test fixture reconstructs economically. The cut: if a `tmp_path` tree can reproduce what the
+test needs, it belongs in a fixture; if the test needs density or scale that only a grown corpus
+has, it belongs against `kb/`. Neither absorbs the other's job - see
+[testing-conventions.md](testing-conventions.md).
+
+## Decision points
+
+- **A floor would be violated by an in-progress change - is that a blocker?** Only for the
+  orphan ceiling and the type/subtype floors, since those two can go to zero. The density and
+  provenance floors move gradually with ordinary ingests and are not gating on any single
+  session.
+- **Corpus is "too small" for a feature under development?** That is not this file's problem to
+  solve by adding pages - see tier 3 above. Either the feature waits for a real ingest to supply
+  the shape, or it gets a pytest fixture.

+   the destructive steps, and every box in the criteria list.
+
+2. **The body is the working state, not a historical first post - keep it
+   current as you go.** It is this stack's plan file: the same thing a harness's
+   own plan document is, and it is maintained the same way. Not written once,
+   not brought up to date at the end, but **updated whenever something in it
+   stops being true** - a decision made, a criterion met, an approach ruled out,
+   a new constraint found.
+
+   The test is an abort, not a milestone. A session can end at any moment - an
+   interrupt, a context limit, a crash, a human walking away - and whatever the
+   body says at that instant is the entire handover. So the standard is: **at
+   every point, a fresh session must be able to open the body and pick the work
+   up from there**, without a human re-explaining it and without reading back
+   through the comments. If the body would mislead someone who read it right
+   now, it is already out of date, whether or not the work is finished.
+
+   That means updating *during* the work, not only at its end:
+
+   - a decision gets made → the decision and its reasoning replace the question
+   - an acceptance criterion is done → tick it, in the same session that did it
+   - something turns out differently than the issue assumed → the assumption is
+     corrected where it stands, not contradicted three paragraphs later
+   - work is deferred or dropped → say so, with the reason, where the criterion is
+
+   **Rewrite, never append.** Do not add to a text that has become wrong: an
+   additively grown log forces every later reader to reconstruct the current
+   state by filtering the whole history, which is the exact cost the body exists
+   to remove. Comments carry the history (step 3); the body carries the state.
+
+   Body rewrites and comments are an LLM session's job. A human normally
+   touches only labels and metadata directly.
+
+   **Reading an issue, the body is the state and comments are history.** A
+   session picking an issue up reads the body as the spec; comments are read
+   for provenance - why something was decided, what was tried - never as
+   the current instruction. A recommendation in a comment can be older than
+   the body's decision and read just as convincingly: on #30 an earlier
+   comment recommended a smaller, `verify`-only command, while the body had
+   since settled on building the full `merge` command. A session trusting
+   the comment would have built the wrong thing, with a plausible
+   justification out of this repo's own tracker.
+
+   **A body that is demonstrably wrong is corrected first, not worked
+   around.** "Body beats comment" is a rule of precedence, not a licence to
+   execute a stale spec. Where a comment or the tree proves a claim in the
+   body false, the body is rewritten before the work starts - the rewrite
+   above is the fix; leaning on the comments as the "real" state is not.
+   #10 is the case: its body claimed coverage had never been measured while
+   three comments carried a percentage, a statement count and a CI run
+   number.
+
+   **Where two comments contradict each other, evidence decides, not
+   recency.** On #10, one comment showed a retrieved artifact with zero
+   items on a finished run - the report was not actually retrievable - and
+   a later comment declared the same criterion met without re-checking. The
+   later comment is not the newer truth, only the unchecked one. Resolve it
+   into the body with the evidence named, or mark the point open.
+
+3. **Comment a changelog, never a copy.** A body rewrite gets one short comment
+   naming only what changed against the previous state - what is new, what is
+   gone, what was corrected. Do not snapshot the old body into a comment: a full
+   copy per revision forces a human to diff two prose texts, which is not a
+   readable history, only another copy.
+
+   One comment per *session's worth* of change, not per edit. Step 2 asks the
+   body to be kept current continuously, and a comment for every tick would bury
+   the board in noise; the changelog line summarises what that session moved.
+   Trivial upkeep - a typo, a tightened sentence - needs no comment at all.
+
+   ```
+   **Changelog:** Decision 2 tightened - `kind/` may now change over an
+   issue's life. Old acceptance criterion 3 dropped (covered by #42).

+   and it comes due at the worst moment, because a closed body is the version
+   everyone reads afterwards and nobody revisits.
+
+   Either way the body reaches its final state *before* the issue closes:
+   proposals that were decided read as decided, a "to decide" section has become

+   implemented, which were deliberately left out and why, and what was verified.
+   The issue is the only place that record survives - a changelog entry says
+   what changed, not what was decided against.
+
+   **A closing report in a comment does not satisfy this.** It reads as
+   complete to whoever writes it and leaves a body still phrased as open work:
+   unticked boxes, an undecided decision section, present tense about a defect
+   that no longer exists. #44 closed exactly that way, with a thorough comment
+   above a body that still asked for a decision that had already been made and
+   shipped. Nothing mechanical catches it (see below), which is why it is a step
+   rather than a habit.
+
+## Renames and other decay in the tracker
+
+A rename is not finished when the tree is green. Renaming a package, a path,
+a command, a flag or the repository itself moves text that lives outside the
+working tree, and the open issues are the largest such text. Nothing catches
+them - `wikitool` does not know this tracker exists and must not learn (see
+"What no tool checks" below) - so a pass over the open issues is part of the
+rename, in the session that did it, not a follow-up someone remembers.
+
+Distinguish a wayfinder from a piece of evidence: a path meant to point at
+where something *is* gets pulled through; a path quoted for what was true at
+a time is left standing and dated. Note per corrected body what was pulled
+through and when, so the next pass can tell a checked body from one that
+merely looks right. Closed issues are out of scope - they guide nobody.
+
+Renames are not the only thing that ages an issue text. A page a body cites
+can vanish from `kb/` (`wikitool search` against the cited titles is the
+second pass), and an old body can carry private infrastructure detail into
+what is now a public tracker - both found in the same issue, both worth the
+same look.
+
+## What no tool checks
+
+`wikitool` does not know this tracker exists, and should not learn. It ships to
+instances that have no issues at that URL, while this file and the workflow it
+describes are pruned by `dist export` - a Gitea client inside the shipped tool
+would be a dev-only dependency carried by every instance, to check a board none
+of them have. The tracker is reachable only through the `gitea-mcp` server, in a
+session, by an agent.
+
+So there is no `docs verify` for the board. Nothing reports a closed issue whose
+body still reads as open, a body that contradicts its own comments, or an issue
+missing one of the four mandatory labels. Every one of those is caught by a
+session following this file, or not at all - which is the argument for the
+sequence in step 7 being explicit about the order (body first, then close),
+rather than leaving it to be inferred from step 2.

+name: stack-close
+description: Close out a stack-dev work package after its publish has landed - rewrite the issue body to its final state, check for docs/ staleness, and name which model ran which phase of the session. Use right after a stack-dev session's tools/wikitool publish succeeds, or when resuming a package that was published but never closed.
+---
+
+# Stack Close
+
+**Purpose:** Carry out the unchecked closing phase of a stack-development work package, as its
+own skill rather than a break `stack-dev` has to remember to ask for mid-flow.
+
+**Trigger:** A `stack-dev` session's `tools/wikitool publish` just succeeded - `stack-dev` ends
+there and hands off here rather than continuing into this phase in the same breath. Also: `publish`
+printed its stack-machinery note ("this publish touched stack machinery...") and nothing has
+closed the work package it belongs to yet; or a package was published in an earlier session and
+never went through this skill (the gap this split exists to make impossible to skip past
+silently - see [issue-tracking.md](../issue-tracking.md)'s note that a closed body is the version
+everyone reads afterwards and nobody revisits).
+
+**This directory is dev-only.** Same boundary as `stack-dev`
+([its own note](../stack-dev/SKILL.md) has the full reasoning) - `dist export` prunes
+`instructions/dev/` wholesale, so this skill never reaches a distributed instance.
+
+## Why this is a separate skill, not `stack-dev`'s step 6
+
+The two phases around the mechanical middle of a stack-dev session have no mechanical guard at
+all - `pytest`, `docs verify` and `instructions verify` cover the code and tests in between, and
+nothing covers a changelog entry's accuracy, a `docs/` page's staleness, or an issue body's final
+state (see [claude-code-model-selection.md](../../claude-code-model-selection.md)). Asking the
+same session to notice it has crossed into that second unchecked stretch - as a prose break inside
+`stack-dev`'s own step 6 - failed twice in a row on this stack (Gitea #42, then #30): both times
+the session knew the rule and skipped past it anyway, because nothing in the moment forced the
+question. Splitting the phase into its own skill does not add a check either - `wikitool` still
+does not know this tracker exists and must not learn (see
+[issue-tracking.md](../issue-tracking.md) § What no tool checks) - but it removes the thing that
+was actually failing: the closing *procedure* is no longer sitting in the session's context as a
+next step to run past - it exists only inside a skill someone has to invoke.
+
+**Be precise about what that does and does not buy**, because the honest version is weaker than
+"now it cannot be skipped". What did **not** change is the trigger: `stack-dev`'s "invoke it now"
+is still a sentence, and `publish`'s stack-machinery note is deliberately generic enough not to
+name this skill at all. Two of the three links in that chain remain self-discipline. The split
+narrows the failure, it does not close it - treat a session that reaches this text as the
+mechanism having worked *this time*, not as proof that it always will.
+
+See Gitea #47 for the full incident history and the rejected alternative (a
+model-switched subagent - not buildable in Claude Code, where a fork inherits the parent's model
+and a fresh subagent starts without the session's context).
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Offer the model switch back up, once, and keep working either way.**
+
+   > Ab hier greift kein maschineller Check mehr - Issue-Body, `docs/`-Veralterung und
+   > Changelog-Prosa prüft nichts. Wenn du zurück auf Opus willst, ist jetzt der Moment.
+
+   **Never block on the answer.** The change is already published; a session that stops here
+   leaves exactly the state this skill exists to prevent.
+
+2. **Rewrite the issue body to its final state, then close.** The test is what a reader who
+   opens the closed issue tomorrow would conclude:
+
+   - every acceptance criterion ticked, or struck with the reason it was dropped
+   - proposals that were decided read as decided; a "to decide" section has become the decision
+     and its reasoning
+   - nothing left in the present tense about a defect that no longer exists
+   - what was verified is named - which checks ran, which CI run - not a commit hash alone
+
+   Then one short comment naming what changed against the previous state, and nothing else -
+   [issue-tracking.md](../issue-tracking.md) steps 2-3 and 7 have the full shape; this is that
+   procedure, run at the point this skill exists to guarantee it actually gets run.
+
+   **A closing report in a comment does not satisfy this**, however thorough: it reads as
+   complete to whoever writes it and leaves a body still phrased as open work. Nothing mechanical
+   catches it, which is why this is a step - and now a whole skill - rather than a habit. #44 and
+   #45 both closed exactly this way on the old, single-skill shape, the second an hour after the
+   rule was first written down.
+
+3. **Check whether a `docs/` page or new human doc went stale.** A `docs/` page carries no
+   normative sentence, so nothing verifies it by construction (AGENTS.md § File naming) - the
+   same is true of `README.md`/`INSTALL.md`/`DEVELOPMENT.md` prose and a new instruction's own
+   wording, which `instructions verify` checks structurally but never for what it claims. If the
+   change this package shipped moved the reasoning one of these pages documents, update it now;
+   if none did, say so rather than leaving the question unasked.
+
+4. **Name which model ran which phase - not only this one.** This is the handover in full, not
+   a note about the tail alone: state the model for the design/version-part/boundary-judgment
+   phase (`stack-dev` step 3), for the mechanical middle (code, tests, the version bump), and for
+   this closing phase - all three, even when they are all the same model. A handover that only
+   flags a cheap-model *closing* phase stays silent exactly when the earlier, equally unchecked
+   design phase also ran cheap and nobody offered the switch back then either; naming all three
+   every time is what keeps that omission from being the quiet default.
+
+## Decision points
+
+- **The work package spans several sessions?** Run this skill once, at the point the package is
+  actually finished and its last publish has landed - not after every individual publish. A
+  package still open across sessions keeps its body current per
+  [issue-tracking.md](../issue-tracking.md) step 2 in the meantime; that is maintenance, not
+  closing.
+- **Resuming a package whose publish landed in an earlier, already-ended session?** Run this
+  skill now, on whatever model the current session is - do not reopen the earlier session to run
+  it "correctly." The handover in step 4 names the earlier phases from the historical record
+  (the issue's comments, `CHANGES.md`) rather than from memory.
+- **Nothing to close - the session's own exploration, no publish happened?** This skill does not
+  apply; there is no package to rewrite a body for.
+
+## Scope
+
+Follows a `stack-dev` session's publish. Not for wiki content work - use
+`wiki-ingest`/`wiki-query`/`wiki-manage`/`wiki-lint`/`wiki-status` for that, whose own closing
+conventions (`kb/log.md`, page provenance) are unrelated to this tracker-body procedure.

+that builds a tree does the same thing - that is the rule here, not a per-test judgment.
+
+`kb_dir` did not, until Gitea #44. Two things came of that. A test calling
+`kb_state.write_kb_state()` overwrote the real `.wikitool-kb.json`, which `git status` made
+visible within the minute. Quieter and worse: `lint`'s collection lookup resolved a page
+against `config.KB_DIR`, so every fixture page read back as "no collection" and the
+`unauthorised_labels` check skipped every edge in silence - the finding had no working test at
+all, and its green run read like an assurance.
+
+Two guards came out of it, both in `conftest.py`:
+
+| Guard | Default | Cost |
+|---|---|---|
+| `repository_tree_guard` (session) | on | two `git status --porcelain` calls per run |
+| `per_test_tree_guard` | off, `CHEMENU_TREE_GUARD=each` turns it on | one `git status` per test |
+
+The session guard compares the working tree before against after and fails the run if anything
+moved, so it says nothing about uncommitted work a developer already had. It cannot name the
+test that did it; `CHEMENU_TREE_GUARD=each` can, and is the way to bisect once it fires. Where
+git is unavailable or the checkout is not a repository, both are silently inert.
+
+Neither guard sees the second, quieter half: a check that silently *does nothing* under test
+writes no file. That one is only caught by a test that asserts the finding actually fires -
+which is why `test_unauthorised_label_is_judged_in_a_tree_that_is_not_the_configured_kb`
+lints a tree `ROOT` deliberately points away from.
+
+**A function that takes a directory resolves against that directory.** `run_lint(kb_dir)`
+reading `config.KB_DIR` for one of its own lookups was the defect behind the quiet half, and
+no fixture can fix that shape from the outside.

+description: Which part of the stack version a change bumps - the compatibility question (is the new version a drop-in replacement?) separated from the migration question (must existing content change?), plus what to do before a breaking bump.
+---
+# Pick the version part for a stack change
+
+Two questions decide a version bump, and they are **not the same question**:
+
+1. **Is the new version a drop-in replacement for the old one?** This is what the version
+   number itself says. Compatibility is read off the **leftmost non-zero component** - on this
+   stack (`4.x`) that is MAJOR, on a `0.x` stack it is MINOR. A bump that changes it is called
+   *boundary-crossing* below, because that is the term `version bump` and `docs verify` use in
+   their own messages.
+2. **Must existing content be migrated?** This is a *consequence* a boundary crossing may or
+   may not have. `kb/` staying untouched does not make a change compatible, and
+   `version bump --no-migration` exists precisely because boundary-crossing bumps with an
+   untouched corpus are a real case.
+
+Getting these backwards is how a genuinely breaking change ships as a MINOR. It happened once
+already (see the case study at the end), which is why this file exists.
+
+## The candidate model
+
+Between two releases the stack carries **one running candidate**, not a fresh version per
+`bump`. Before that, every bump minted a number *and* a release: CI's version gate requires
+`VERSION` to move on every stack-touching push, and `release.yml` fires on every `VERSION`
+move, so releases were being cut at commit granularity. 2026-09-03 produced four of them in
+six hours (`4.3.0` through `4.3.3`) for one arc of work - all four real, none of them a
+meaningful unit to anyone downstream. A candidate closes that gap without touching the gate:
+`VERSION` still moves on every bump, it just escalates the *same* number instead of handing out
+a new one, and only `version release` turns it into something the release workflow acts on.
+
+- **State lives in `VERSION` itself**, as an optional `-beta.N` suffix (`4.4.0-beta.3`). No
+  second state file: the last release is read back out of `CHANGES.md` (the newest entry with no
+  suffix), and the escalation stage is the difference between the candidate's base and that
+  release - derived, not stored.
+- **`--major`/`--minor`/`--patch` is max-wins escalation**, not a step you can undo. A `--patch`
+  bump on a candidate already at MINOR only advances its bump count (`N`); nothing ever steps a
+  candidate back down. Declaring the part is still your judgment call, made the same way the
+  steps below describe - `escalate()` only ever raises it further.
+- **A candidate is never released.** Pre-release is a dev-checkout state; `release.yml` only acts
+  on a suffix-free `VERSION`, so a distributed instance never sees a `-beta.` version at all, and
+  its parser never has to know the suffix exists.
+- **One `CHANGES.md` entry per candidate**, not per bump. The first bump of a candidate opens it
+  (heading, date, author, and a machine-managed `<!-- wikitool:bumps -->` list seeded with that
+  bump's `--title`); every later bump of the *same* candidate updates that entry in place -
+  heading, date and the bumps list all move, but the entry's own prose (written below the
+  skeleton, by hand) is left alone. `version notes` therefore still prints exactly one entry per
+  release, whatever a candidate's history of bumps looked like.
+- **`version bump` opens or continues a candidate; `version release` fixes one.** Only `release`
+  strips the suffix and turns the entry into a real, closed release - see its own row in
+  `tools/CONTRACT.md`. Nothing else does, and nothing auto-fixes a candidate on its own.
+
+## When to run
+
+Before every `tools/wikitool version bump` - the `stack-dev` skill's step 3 sends you here.
+Read it in full the first time a change looks like it might be boundary-crossing; afterwards
+the three-line test below is usually enough.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Apply the drop-in test.** The bump is boundary-crossing if **either** half fails:
+
+   - **Forward:** an existing instance can install the new machinery by copying `tools/`,
+     `types/`, `instructions/`, `AGENTS.md`, `VERSION` and `.wikitool-release.json` over itself,
+     and everything that worked before still works - with **no** hand-work by the user and **no**
+     migration script. Any step beyond the copy, however small, fails this half.
+   - **Backward:** having installed the new version, the user can put the old one back and be
+     where they started. A state file the old version cannot read, a rewritten corpus, a
+     renamed stamp - anything that makes the downgrade fail or leave a broken instance - fails
+     this half.
+
+   Content migration is one way to fail the forward half, not the definition of it.
+
+2. **Check the catalogue** when the answer still feels like a judgment call. Each of these
+   crosses the boundary with `kb/` entirely untouched:
+
+   | What changed | Why the swap is not drop-in |
+   |---|---|
+   | The update path - `update_url`, the release feed, the repo it points at | The instance cannot repair its own `.wikitool-release.json`: it is machine-written, and invariant 1 forbids the hand-edit. The channel that would have told it to update is the channel that broke |
+   | The release artefact's name | Every download script and every pin against it breaks |
+   | The Python package's import name | `from <old> import ...` outside the shipped tree breaks |
+   | A command, subcommand, or flag that was removed or renamed | Scripts, CI workflows and instruction files calling the old spelling break |
+   | An environment variable's name | An instance configured through it silently loses the configuration |
+   | The shape of a machine-read file - `.wikitool-kb.json`, `.wikitool-release.json`, a generated index | The old version cannot read what the new one wrote, so the downgrade half fails even if the upgrade half passed |
+   | A type-spec's required fields | Existing pages stop validating - this one crosses *and* needs a content migration |
+
+   The catalogue is illustrative, not exhaustive. When something is not on it, go back to step 1.
+
+3. **Otherwise pick the compatible part:**
+
+   | Change | Part |
+   |---|---|
+   | Fix, no interface change | `--patch` |
+   | New capability, drop-in in both directions | `--minor` |
+
+4. **Stop and talk to the user before the bump that first escalates a candidate past the
+   boundary.** It is expensive in a way the other two parts are not: every existing instance pays
+   for it, once, by hand. That escalation happens exactly once per candidate - a later bump that
+   keeps the candidate at the same stage (another `--major` on one already there, say) does not
+   re-cross anything and needs no second conversation. Put in front of the user, in this order:
+
+   - **What breaks**, concretely - which file, which name, which call site.
+   - **What each existing instance must do**, as the steps they would actually run.
+   - **The alternatives**, so the break is a choice and not a side effect:
+     - *Avoid it* - keep the old name as an alias, read both file shapes, accept both flag
+       spellings. A compatibility shim carried for one release is usually cheaper than a
+       migration everyone runs.
+     - *Defer and batch it* - hold the break until the next boundary crossing, so instances pay
+       once instead of twice.
+     - *Split it* - ship the compatible half now, the breaking half later behind a deprecation
+       window that the changelog announces in advance.
+   - **Your recommendation**, with the trade-off named.
+
+   Then wait for an explicit go-ahead. Do not bump across the boundary on your own initiative.
+
+5. **Record the break in the escalation bump itself.** The bump that first crosses the boundary
+   requires `--breaking "<what breaks>"`, which writes a `**Breaking Change:**` line into the
+   entry:
+
+   ```bash
+   tools/wikitool version bump --major \
+     --title "<what changed>" \
+     --breaking "<what stops working, and what an instance must do about it>" \
+     --no-migration "<why no page has to change>"     # only if that is true
+   ```
+
+   The line, once written, stays in the entry across every later bump of the same candidate -
+   a follow-up `--major` does not need to repeat `--breaking`, because the entry it would repeat
+   it into is the same one. `--breaking` is refused on a bump that crosses nothing, and required
+   on the one that does. `docs verify` checks the newest boundary-crossing entry still carries
+   the line. Write it for the operator of an instance that has not read this repository: what
+   stops working, and what they do about it.
+
+6. **Then answer the migration question separately.** Boundary-crossing and
+   content-migrating are independent:
+
+   - Content must change → write the migration document under `instructions/migrations/` per
+     [migrate-corpus.md](../migrate-corpus.md). The escalation bump finds it by the document's
+     `migrates_to:` field, matched against the candidate's **base** - a document targets the
+     release the candidate will become, never a `-beta.N` form of it.
+   - Content need not change → `--no-migration "<reason>"`, which records that in the entry.
+
+   Both are also needed by `docs verify`, for the same reason: an instance that learns it must
+   migrate, with nothing telling it how, is a dead end. Like `--breaking`, both persist across
+   later bumps of the same candidate without being repeated.
+
+7. **Fix the candidate once it is ready to ship.** `version bump` only ever opens or escalates
+   one; nothing turns it into a release except `tools/wikitool version release`, which strips the
+   `-beta.N` suffix and closes the entry - see its row in `tools/CONTRACT.md`. That is also the
+   point to pass a summarising `--title` if the candidate collected several bump titles along the
+   way; without one, the heading simply keeps whichever bump last set it.
+
+8. **Write the entry's body.** `bump` leaves it empty on purpose. A boundary-crossing entry
+   earns a paragraph that says *why this is breaking* - it is the one thing a future reader
+   cannot reconstruct from the diff, and it is what the next session in this position will read
+   instead of guessing.
+
+## Decision points
+
+- **The change ships no code - only `README.md`, `INSTALL.md`, `EVALS.md`, or `.gitea/`?** No
+  bump at all; CI's version gate is scoped to what changes behaviour.
+- **A break you can see coming but are not making yet?** File it as an issue and let it
+  accumulate. Boundary crossings are cheaper in batches, and step 4's "defer" alternative is
+  only real if someone wrote the break down.
+- **Unsure between MINOR and boundary-crossing?** It is boundary-crossing. The cost of an
+  unnecessary MAJOR is one extra release note; the cost of a MINOR that actually breaks is an
+  instance whose update path fails while its version number promised it would not.
+- **The break only affects this repository, not a distributed instance** - something under
+  `instructions/dev/`, say? Then it is not a stack break at all: `dist export` never shipped it.
+  Judge by what an *exported* instance sees.
+
+## Scope
+
+Applies to the stack version in `VERSION` - `tools/`, `types/`, `instructions/`, `AGENTS.md`
+and the contracts. It says nothing about the content shape in `.wikitool-kb.json`, which is
+advanced by `wikitool migrate done` and described by [migrate-corpus.md](../migrate-corpus.md),
+and nothing about wiki content operations, which are logged in `kb/log.md` and carry no version
+at all.
+
+Choosing the part remains a judgment call, deliberately: `docs verify` checks that a
+boundary-crossing entry *documents* its break and its migration, never that the part was chosen
+correctly. No validator can tell a renamed flag from a new one.
+
+## Case study: 2.0.0
+
+The Chemenu rebranding renamed the repo, the release artefact and the Python package. No page
+in `kb/` changed, so the first attempt was `1.9.0` - the migration question, answered correctly,
+substituted for the compatibility question, which was never asked. Three things broke: every
+existing instance's `update_url` pointed at a repo path that no longer existed and could not be
+hand-repaired; the artefact name changed; the import name changed. The correct bump was
+`--major --no-migration`, and the `CHANGES.md` entry for `2.0.0` carries the reasoning in full
+under "Warum das trotzdem MAJOR ist". The error was caught by the user, not by the
+documentation - which is what step 4 is for.

+description: Ready-made answers for kb/CONVENTIONS.md and each COLLECTION.md - the proven collection contracts and language profiles this stack has shipped, offered as a palette to adopt or adapt, never as a binding source.
+manual: true
+---
+# Pick a profile for a collection or for this instance's conventions
+
+**This page is a palette, not an enum.** Each `kb/<name>/COLLECTION.md` stays authoritative for
+its own collection and `kb/CONVENTIONS.md` for the instance as a whole; an entry here is a
+proven starting point, nothing more. Adopting one means *copying its text into* that file - not
+pointing at this page and inheriting whatever it says later. Nothing in the stack reads this
+document, and `profile:` in a contract's frontmatter records where the text came from, not where
+it lives.
+
+That direction is deliberate and it is the opposite of how this repo used to work. Language,
+tone, naming and the relationship vocabulary sat in `kb/CONTRACT.md`, a file `dist export` ships
+verbatim - so every instance that wanted something else edited a stack file, and an upstream
+merge handed the stack's answer back. What binds is now the instance's; what ships is this
+catalogue, and it binds nothing.
+
+## When to run
+
+- Setting up a new instance: the KB-language step of
+  [setup-instance.md](setup-instance.md) sends you here to fill `kb/CONVENTIONS.md`.
+- Adding a collection to an existing instance, and wanting a contract that already works rather
+  than a blank one.
+- Rewriting an existing `COLLECTION.md` or `kb/CONVENTIONS.md` and wanting to see what the
+  alternatives were.
+
+Not for changing what the *stack* enforces. That is [kb/CONTRACT.md](../kb/CONTRACT.md), and it
+is not a profile.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Decide what you are filling.** Two different files, and they are not interchangeable:
+
+   | File | Holds | Profiles below |
+   |---|---|---|
+   | `kb/CONVENTIONS.md` | Language, section headings, naming forms, tone, relationship labels, confidence rubric - once per instance | [Language profiles](#language-profiles) |
+   | `kb/<name>/COLLECTION.md` | What one collection holds, its quality goal, its local linking and naming rules | [Collection profiles](#collection-profiles) |
+
+2. **Copy the entry's text into the file**, then edit it until it is true of this instance.
+   A profile you adopted and then changed is still that profile's `profile:` value - the field
+   records the starting point, not a promise of fidelity.
+
+3. **Record it.** `profile: <name>` in the file's frontmatter, or `profile: none` for a
+   collection written from scratch. `wikitool docs verify` checks the field is there; it does
+   not check the value against this page, because a collection an instance invented has no
+   entry here to name.
+
+4. **Set `required_by_stack:` on a collection - and set it correctly.** This one is *not* a
+   choice: it says whether `wikitool` resolves against the collection by name, and
+   `docs verify` checks it against the stack's own list. `sources` is `true`, everything else
+   is `false`. See [kb/CONTRACT.md § Collections](../kb/CONTRACT.md#collections).
+
+## Language profiles
+
+A language profile answers all of `kb/CONVENTIONS.md` at once. There is one today, because one
+is what this repo has actually run.
+
+### `german`
+
+The profile this repo's own instance uses, and the reason this catalogue exists: it was the
+stack's hardcoded behaviour until the conventions file existed.
+
+| Decides | Value |
+|---|---|
+| `language:` | `de` |
+| `sections:` | `Beziehungen` / `Siehe auch` / `Fußnoten` |
+| Naming | Human-readable titles with spaces; singular for entities; a decision named like any other concept, no `adr-NNN-` prefix; `X vs Y` for comparisons |
+| Tone | Wikipedia register, with a German buzzword and filler list |
+| Relationship labels | `hängt ab von` · `verwendet` · `implementiert` · `erweitert` · `ersetzt` · `steht in Konflikt mit` · `benötigt` · `erzeugt` · `konsumiert` · `besitzt` · `pflegt` · `läuft auf` · `verwandt mit` |
+| Confidence rubric | 0.5 base, +0.2 per supporting source (max +0.6), recency and source-quality bonuses; hedge with "möglicherweise"/"kann" below 0.6, "unsicher"/"unbestätigt" below 0.4 |
+| Terminology | [german-terminology.md](german-terminology.md) - which English terms stay English, and which have a settled German form |
+
+**The full text to copy** is this repo's own [kb/CONVENTIONS.md](../kb/CONVENTIONS.md). An
+instance adopting it takes that file, not this table; the table is what the profile *decides*,
+so you can tell at a glance whether it is the one you want.
+
+Adopting it also means keeping `german-terminology.md`. An instance on any other language
+deletes or replaces that file - it is the profile's lookup material, not the stack's.
+
+### `english`
+
+What `kb/CONVENTIONS.md.template` ships as its default, so "adopt `english`" means "fill in the
+template and change nothing structural". `sections:` are `Relationships` / `See Also` /
+`Footnotes`, which are also the names this stack wrote before it had a conventions file - so a
+corpus that predates the split needs no translation pass to adopt this profile.
+
+There is no worked text for the rest of it. The template's placeholders are the questions;
+`german` above is what a filled answer looks like.
+
+### Writing a third one
+
+A language profile is not a translation of `german`. Two of its sections are judgment about a
+language rather than vocabulary in it - which foreign technical terms stay untranslated, and how
+to hedge a low-confidence claim - and those are exactly the two that read as awkward when
+translated mechanically. Write them, do not convert them.
+
+The one part that is mechanical: `section_aliases:`. Whatever the corpus used before goes in
+that list, and the pages then migrate one at a time instead of all at once.
+
+## Collection profiles
+
+The four collections this repo runs. Each is a whole `COLLECTION.md`, and **the text to copy is
+the file itself** - `dist export` ships each one as `kb/<name>/COLLECTION.md.template`, which a
+new instance adopts by renaming. What follows is what each decides, so you can tell whether you
+want it.
+
+### `entities`
+
+Concrete, pointable things: projects, deployed systems, tools, technologies, people.
+
+- **Quality goal:** pointability plus currency - what the thing is, where it actually is, and
+  whether that is still true.
+- **Areas** driven by the `entity_type:` field: `projects/`, `systems/`, `tools/`,
+  `technologies/`, `people/`. Areas, not collections - they inherit the contract and carry no
+  `COLLECTION.md`.
+- **Per-area emphasis** spelled out, so a system page is not written like a technology page.
+- `required_by_stack: false`.
+
+Take it when the wiki is about things that exist. Adapt the area list first: it is the part most
+likely to be wrong for another domain.
+
+### `concepts`
+
+Ideas rather than things: architectures, patterns, protocols, workflows, recurring problems,
+and the decisions taken about them.
+
+- **Quality goal:** explanatory sufficiency - the page answers *why it is done this way* without
+  the reader opening the entity pages that use it.
+- Carries the **ADR shape**: context, decision, consequences, status, and the rule that a
+  superseded decision is never rewritten.
+- Routes head-to-head arguments out to `comparisons/` rather than hosting them.
+- `required_by_stack: false`.
+
+Take it whenever `entities` is taken - the split between the two is what keeps either from
+becoming an essay.
+
+### `sources`
+
+One page per ingested source, carrying the `raw_files:` provenance every citation resolves
+against.
+
+- **Quality goal:** faithful compression - what *this source* said, not what was concluded from
+  it. A source page improved beyond its source is no longer evidence.
+- Titles carry the `Source - ` prefix, applied by `wikitool new source`.
+- `required_by_stack: **true**`. `sources coverage`, `[^cite-id]` resolution and
+  `kb/provenance.md` resolve against the name `sources`.
+
+Not optional in the way the others are. An instance may rewrite its authoring rules and may not
+rename or drop it.
+
+### `comparisons`
+
+Structured head-to-head evaluations of two or more things that already have pages.
+
+- **Quality goal:** decidability - named, checkable dimensions and a stated trade-off, so a
+  reader with a concrete situation can choose.
+- Every subject must already have a page; a comparison is a view over existing knowledge.
+- **Exempt from the orphan check** - comparisons are reached through the catalog, not through
+  inbound prose links.
+- `required_by_stack: false`.
+
+Skip it in a wiki that records rather than decides. It is the one of the four that is genuinely
+optional.
+
+## Decision points
+
+- **A profile is almost right?** Copy and edit. There is no partial adoption and no override
+  file - the copy *is* the mechanism, and `profile:` still records where it started.
+- **Two collections want the same profile?** Fine. `profile:` is not unique, and two
+  collections holding different subject matter under the same authoring rules is an ordinary
+  outcome.
+- **Changing `sections:` after pages exist?** That is a corpus migration, not an edit. Put the
+  old names in `section_aliases:` first, then translate page by page - the tool keeps finding
+  the old headings for as long as the alias stands. See
+  [migrate-corpus.md](migrate-corpus.md).
+- **Tempted to make this page binding** - to have `COLLECTION.md` say `profile: entities` and
+  nothing else? Do not. That is the arrangement this split was written to end: the instance
+  would be bound by a file the stack ships and upgrades, which is how an upstream merge changes
+  an instance's authoring rules without anyone deciding to.
+
+## Scope
+
+Covers what an instance authors under `kb/`. It says nothing about what the stack enforces
+([kb/CONTRACT.md](../kb/CONTRACT.md)), what a page structurally is
+([types/type-spec.md](../types/type-spec.md)), or how a command behaves
+([tools/CONTRACT.md](../tools/CONTRACT.md)). None of those are profiles, and none of them are
+the instance's to change.

+description: The link-label catalogue - every relationship label a page may declare in related:, grouped by register, with the reader need each one names. A palette to authorise from in a COLLECTION.md, never binding on its own.
+manual: true
+---
+# Pick a link label
+
+**This page is a palette, not an enum.** It lists every label this stack ships with and what
+each one asserts. What a page may actually *use* is decided by its own collection: each
+`kb/<name>/COLLECTION.md` authorises a subset per destination, and `wikitool lint` checks
+`related:` against that authorisation rather than against this file. A collection that
+authorises six labels has six, however long this list gets.
+
+A label is an **identifier, not prose**. It is written into `related:` as a machine value and
+rendered verbatim into the page body, so it is never translated - not in a German wiki, not in
+any other. Which words a page is *written* in stays [kb/CONVENTIONS.md](../kb/CONVENTIONS.md)'s;
+this is not one of them.
+
+## The invariant every label obeys
+
+Every label completes, with the page carrying the link as the grammatical subject:
+
+> `[source] <label> [target]`
+
+The page containing the link asserts something **about** the target. `Hermes depends-on
+PostgreSQL` reads correctly on Hermes' page; the same fact written on PostgreSQL's page is a
+different label (`required-by`), not the same one pointing back. Omitted helper verbs ("is",
+"a") are fine where they do not reverse the endpoints.
+
+This is Commonplace's ADR-058, adopted wholesale, and it is what makes a label checkable rather
+than a matter of taste: read the sentence out loud, and if it says the opposite of what you
+meant, the label is wrong.
+
+## Direction is authored, never mirrored
+
+Each direction is a separate decision. A link back from the target is welcome when it
+independently helps a reader *there* - and unnecessary when it does not. **Do not add a reverse
+edge merely to mirror the first one.** The inbound view is rendered from the graph by
+`index rebuild` and `search`, so a reader landing on the target sees what points at it whether
+or not anyone wrote a second edge.
+
+That is why most labels below have no inverse. Only three pairs do, because in each the reverse
+direction is a genuine primary statement someone would write on its own: `depends-on` /
+`required-by`, `runs-on` / `hosts`, and `composition` / `part-of`.
+
+**A self-dual label is still written once.** `alternative-to` is its own inverse - the sentence
+reads identically from either end - and that makes it the easiest label in the catalogue to
+write twice by reflex. Symmetry means the relation holds in both directions, not that both pages
+must declare it: one edge per pair, and the other page's inbound view carries it. The difference
+is not cosmetic at scale. Seven mutually substitutable tools are 21 pairs; declared once each
+that is 21 edges, declared from both ends it is 42, and the second 21 say nothing the first did
+not. This is the shape a `see-also` clique already had in this corpus before the labels existed,
+and relabelling such a clique without dropping to one edge per pair moves the problem rather
+than fixing it.
+
+The third was added after the 4.0.0 migration, from measurement rather than from the desk. A
+parent-child structure - a tier list and its tiers, a spectrum and its levels - produces the
+question on nearly every page: the parent writes `composition`, and the child then reaches for
+either `part-of` or `see-also`. The migration run answered `see-also`, on the reading that
+`part-of` would be a mirror, and left sixteen edges saying "these two are related" about a
+relationship the catalogue already had a word for. It is not a mirror: the parent's sentence
+lists its parts, the child's names the whole it belongs to, and a reader landing on the child
+needs the second one.
+
+## When to run
+
+Adding or changing a `related:` entry, authorising labels in a `COLLECTION.md`, or judging
+whether a relationship is worth naming as a formal edge at all.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Decide whether this is an edge.** Not every mention is one. An edge is a reader aid: it
+   says *follow this if you need X*. A subject mentioned once in passing is prose with a
+   `[[wikilink]]`, not a declared relationship. Over-declaring is how a graph becomes a list of
+   everything adjacent to everything.
+
+2. **Say the sentence.** `[this page] <label> [that page]`. If it reads backwards, you want the
+   other page to carry the edge, or a different label.
+
+3. **Pick from the register that fits the pair**, below. Prefer the most specific label that is
+   true; fall back outward only when nothing fits.
+
+4. **Check the collection authorises it** for that destination -
+   `kb/<name>/COLLECTION.md`'s `outbound:` block. If the label you want is not authorised and
+   should be, that is a collection-contract change, made deliberately, not a lint error to
+   route around.
+
+5. **Write it with the tool**, never by hand:
+
+   ```bash
+   tools/wikitool xref add --a "<This Page>" --b "<That Page>" --rel <label>
+   ```
+
+## The catalogue
+
+### Operational
+
+Concrete things and how they stand to one another - the register this instance runs on. Mostly
+entity to entity.
+
+| label | inverse | asserts |
+|---|---|---|
+| `depends-on` | `required-by` | cannot function without the target |
+| `required-by` | `depends-on` | the target cannot function without this |
+| `runs-on` | `hosts` | executes on the target as its substrate |
+| `hosts` | `runs-on` | provides the substrate the target executes on |
+| `uses` | — | employs the target at runtime, but survives without it |
+| `produces` | — | emits the target as an artifact or data |
+| `consumes` | — | reads the target as an artifact or data |
+| `maintains` | — | carries the upkeep of the target |
+| `owns` | — | is accountable for the target's existence and decisions |
+| `authored` | — | created the target as a one-time act |
+| `alternative-to` | itself | serves the same purpose as the target, so a reader choosing between them wants both |
+
+`uses` versus `depends-on` is the distinction worth keeping sharp: if removing the target breaks
+this thing, it is `depends-on`.
+
+`authored`, `owns` and `maintains` are three different sentences about the same pair, and often
+three different people: origination, accountability, labour. `owns` is a *standing* claim - it
+says someone answers for this thing now - so it reads false about a person who is dead or long
+gone from the project, however plainly they made it. That is the case `authored` exists for, and
+picking `owns` for it is not a weaker edge but a wrong one.
+
+`alternative-to` versus `contrasts` versus `compares-with`: `contrasts` asserts a *difference
+worth reading both for*, `alternative-to` asserts *substitutability* - two things a reader might
+pick between for the same job. `compares-with` weighs them on named dimensions, which in this
+instance is what routes to a `kb/comparisons/` page. Two agent CLIs are `alternative-to`; two
+opposed design principles are `contrasts`, and swapping the two says something false about both.
+
+### Realization
+
+How an idea becomes a running thing. Usually concept to entity or the reverse.
+
+| label | asserts |
+|---|---|
+| `implements` | is a concrete realization of the target |
+| `operationalized-from` | is the prescriptive form of the target's theory |
+| `mechanism` | is the mechanism by which the target works |
+| `procedure` | is the procedure for carrying out the target |
+| `applies-when` | applies under the condition the target describes |
+| `operates-on` | acts upon the target as its subject matter |
+| `invokes` | calls the target as a step within itself |
+
+### Conceptual
+
+Inference and comparison between ideas.
+
+| label | asserts |
+|---|---|
+| `extends` | develops the target's argument further |
+| `grounds` | provides the basis the target rests on |
+| `rests-on` | takes the target as its premise |
+| `enables` | is the operational prerequisite that makes the target possible |
+| `precondition` | must hold before the target applies |
+| `exemplifies` | is an instance of the general claim the target makes |
+| `abstracted-from` | generalizes from the target |
+| `contrasts` | differs from the target in a way worth reading both for |
+| `compares-with` | is weighed against the target on shared dimensions |
+| `contradicts` | asserts something the target denies |
+| `addresses` | is a response to the problem the target describes |
+| `composition` | is composed of the target |
+| `part-of` | is a component of the target |
+
+`composition` / `part-of` is the third **inverse pair**, alongside `depends-on` / `required-by`
+and `runs-on` / `hosts` in the operational register. Being a pair does not make the second edge
+obligatory - direction is still authored - it settles *which label* the second edge takes when
+someone does write it. The child of a `composition` writes `part-of`, not `see-also`: what it
+is a component of is a primary statement about the child, and `see-also` says strictly less
+about the same fact.
+
+`grounds` / `rests-on` is a genuine pair and both directions are primary statements; they are
+listed separately rather than as inverses because either page may legitimately carry only its
+own side.
+
+`addresses` is the edge from a solution to the problem it answers - a decision to the trouble
+that forced it, a mechanism to the failure it prevents. Keep it apart from `rests-on`, which
+takes the target as a *premise* the source argues from: a decision usually does both, and the
+one worth writing is the one a reader here would follow. `addresses` has no inverse. The problem
+page's inbound view already answers "what did anyone do about this?", which is the only reason
+someone would want the reverse.
+
+### Lineage
+
+Where something came from, and what replaced it.
+
+| label | asserts |
+|---|---|
+| `supersedes` | replaces the target, which is now historical |
+| `derived-from` | was produced from the target |
+| `adapted-from` | was reworked from the target for a different purpose |
+| `defined-in` | takes its definition from the target |
+
+A superseded page is never deleted or rewritten - see the collection contract for
+`kb/concepts/`.
+
+### Evidence
+
+The provenance register. Distinct from `sources:` and `[^cite-id]`, which are the *mechanical*
+provenance path: these two are authored claims about how strongly something is backed.
+
+| label | asserts |
+|---|---|
+| `evidenced-by` | is supported by the target as evidence |
+| `is-evidence-for` | serves as evidence for the target's claim |
+
+### Universal
+
+| label | asserts |
+|---|---|
+| `see-also` | nothing more specific applies, and a reader here would still want the target |
+
+**`see-also` is the last resort and should stay rare.** A collection where it is the commonest
+label has a vocabulary problem, not a lot of loosely related pages. The previous vocabulary's
+`verwandt mit` was exactly that, and it is the reason this catalogue exists.
+
+## Extending it
+
+Adding a label is a line of data, never a code change:
+
+1. Add a row here, in the register it belongs to, with the sentence it completes.
+2. Authorise it in the `COLLECTION.md` of every collection that may use it.
+
+The registers are advisory groupings for readers, not a schema - nothing checks that a label is
+used only within its register. Invent an intra-collection label the work needs and propose it
+here afterwards; the architecture is deliberately loose, because the link theory is still
+developing.
+
+## Decision points
+
+- **Two labels both fit?** Take the more specific one. If they are equally specific and mean
+  different things, the relationship is probably two edges.
+- **The relationship reads better from the other page?** Write it there. Nothing is lost - the
+  inbound view renders it here.
+- **You want a reverse edge for navigation?** You do not need one. That is what the rendered
+  inbound view is for, and it is complete in a way an authored mirror never was.
+- **Nothing fits at all?** Use `see-also` and say so in the commit, or propose a label. Do not
+  stretch a label whose sentence reads false - a wrong edge is worse than a weak one, because
+  it is machine-readable and will be believed.
+
+## Scope
+
+Covers labels on `related:` edges between pages. Says nothing about `sources:` (the provenance
+field, unlabelled by construction), `[^cite-id]` footnotes
+([kb/CONTRACT.md](../kb/CONTRACT.md#provenance-and-citation)), or `tags:` (search keys, not
+relationships).

+description: 'Adopt the instance-owned authoring conventions introduced in 3.0.0 - write kb/CONVENTIONS.md, declare profile:/required_by_stack: on every COLLECTION.md, and replace kb/CONTRACT.md with the shipped one.'

+---
+# Adopt this instance's own authoring conventions (3.0.0)
+
+Until 3.0.0, the rules for writing a page were split by *location*: everything about `kb/` sat
+in `kb/CONTRACT.md`, a file every distribution ships verbatim. Half of it was never the stack's
+to decide - the language pages are written in, the three tool-owned section headings, the naming
+forms, the tone, the relationship labels, the confidence rubric - so an instance that wanted
+something else edited a file the stack also ships, and an upstream merge handed the stack's
+answer back.
+
+3.0.0 splits it by *ownership* instead. `kb/CONTRACT.md` keeps only what `wikitool` enforces;
+everything else moves into a new `kb/CONVENTIONS.md` that belongs to this instance, and each
+`kb/<name>/COLLECTION.md` now declares what it is. The compiler reads its section headings from
+that file rather than from `tools/chemenu/sections.py`.
+
+**No page changes.** Not one line under `kb/entities/`, `kb/concepts/`, `kb/sources/` or
+`kb/comparisons/` is touched. What changes are the contracts beside them, which is why this is
+`mechanical` and takes minutes rather than a workshop.
+
+## When to run
+
+After installing 3.0.0 machinery over an instance that was on 2.x, when `tools/wikitool doctor`
+reports `FAIL conventions` or `tools/wikitool docs verify` reports a `COLLECTION.md` with no
+frontmatter. `tools/wikitool migrate status` names this document.
+
+**Until it has run, the compiler answers out of a fallback.** `xref add` and `cite add` write
+`## Beziehungen` / `## Siehe auch` / `## Fußnoten` - what this stack hardcoded before the
+conventions file existed. That is correct for a corpus written under them and wrong for any
+other, so run this before the next `wiki-ingest` or `wiki-manage`, not afterwards.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Replace `kb/CONTRACT.md` from the release.** It is machinery that happens to live under a
+   content directory, and the tarball update path used to skip it (see `INSTALL.md`, which now
+   names it explicitly). The 3.0.0 version is roughly half the length of the 2.x one - the
+   removed half is what step 2 is about to write into a file of yours.
+
+   ```bash
+   cp <unpacked-release>/kb/CONTRACT.md kb/CONTRACT.md
+   ```
+
+   A private instance cloned from an upstream takes it with the merge instead - see
+   [private-instance.md](../private-instance.md), whose update procedure now re-takes the
+   upstream side for exactly this path.
+
+2. **Write `kb/CONVENTIONS.md`.** Two ways in, and the first is almost always right:
+
+   - **This instance writes German pages** (it did, unless you changed it): copy the release's
+     `kb/CONVENTIONS.md.template` and fill it from the `german` profile in
+     [kb-profiles.md](../kb-profiles.md) - whose worked full text is the origin repo's own
+     `kb/CONVENTIONS.md`. Everything in it was already true of your corpus; it was simply
+     written down somewhere you did not own.
+   - **You had changed the language**, and therefore hold local edits to `kb/CONTRACT.md`,
+     `types/*.md` and `tools/chemenu/sections.py`: those edits are what this file replaces. Copy
+     the canonical heading names out of your old `sections.py` into `sections:`, the labels and
+     tone rules out of your old `kb/CONTRACT.md`, then **discard the local edits under `tools/`
+     and `types/`** and take the shipped versions. That is the whole point of the change: there
+     is nothing left to patch there.
+
+   The minimum the tool needs is the frontmatter:
+
+   ```yaml
+   ---
+   language: de
+   profile: german
+   sections:
+     relationships: Beziehungen
+     see_also: Siehe auch
+     footnotes: Fußnoten
+   ---
+   ```
+
+   Set `sections:` to the names **your existing pages already carry**, not to what you would
+   prefer. Changing them is a separate, real corpus migration; `section_aliases:` is how it is
+   done page by page ([migrate-corpus.md](../migrate-corpus.md)).
+
+   Drop the `wikitool:template-unfilled` sentinel line while filling it in - `doctor` FAILs on a
+   renamed-but-unanswered template exactly as it does for `USER.md`.
+
+3. **Declare each collection.** Two frontmatter lines at the top of every
+   `kb/<name>/COLLECTION.md`:
+
+   ```yaml
+   ---
+   profile: <the entry in instructions/kb-profiles.md this contract came from, or none>
+   required_by_stack: false
+   ---
+   ```
+
+   `required_by_stack: true` on `kb/sources/` and **nowhere else**. It is not a preference:
+   `sources coverage`, `[^cite-id]` resolution and `kb/provenance.md` resolve against that name,
+   and `docs verify` checks the field against the stack's own list in both directions.
+
+   For the four default collections, the shipped `kb/<name>/COLLECTION.md.template` files carry
+   the right values already.
+
+4. **Verify.** All three must pass:
+
+   ```bash
+   tools/wikitool doctor          # `conventions` must be OK
+   tools/wikitool docs verify
+   tools/wikitool lint
+   ```
+
+   `migrate verify` is deliberately not in that list: it compares pages, and no page changed.
+   Running it would report nothing and prove nothing.
+
+5. **Record it.**
+
+   ```bash
+   tools/wikitool migrate done 3.0.0 --pages 0
+   ```
+
+   `--pages 0` is honest, not a placeholder - see the note under step 1.
+
+## How to tell a migrated instance from an unmigrated one
+
+`kb/CONVENTIONS.md` exists, carries no `wikitool:template-unfilled` line, and names all three
+slots under `sections:`; every `kb/*/COLLECTION.md` opens with a frontmatter block; and
+`kb/CONTRACT.md` has a `## Language and identifiers` heading rather than a `## Language` one.
+`doctor` answers all of that in one call.
+
+## Decision points
+
+- **`doctor` says `conventions: FAIL` after step 2?** It prints which slot is missing. The three
+  keys are `relationships`, `see_also` and `footnotes` - the *slot* names are fixed, only their
+  values are yours.
+- **A collection this instance invented, with no profile behind it?** `profile: none`. The field
+  records where the text came from; it is free text and `docs verify` does not check it against
+  the catalogue, because an invented collection has no entry there to name.
+- **Tempted to point `profile:` at the catalogue instead of copying the text?** Do not. An
+  adopted profile is a copy; a reference would put your binding authoring rules in a file the
+  stack ships and upgrades, which is the arrangement 3.0.0 exists to end.
+- **Your old `kb/CONTRACT.md` had local edits you still want?** They belong in
+  `kb/CONVENTIONS.md` now. If something you edited has no home there, it was a stack rule you
+  overrode - file it as an issue against the origin repo rather than re-applying it.
+
+## Scope
+
+One instance's contracts, once. It changes no page, no frontmatter on a page, and nothing under
+`raw/`. The machinery half of the 3.0.0 upgrade - copying `tools/`, `types/`, `instructions/`,
+`AGENTS.md`, `VERSION` and `.wikitool-release.json` - is `INSTALL.md`'s, and has to have
+happened before step 1.

+description: Move every relationship from free-text prose in a body bullet to a labelled edge in related:, and every tool-owned body region from heading-matching to a marker pair.
+manual: true
+migrates_to: 4.0.0
+migration_kind: assisted
+obligation: required
+---
+# Move relationships into the data, and generated regions behind markers (4.0.0)
+
+Until 4.0.0 the stack used **prose as an identifier** in three places, and each one cost
+something measurable:
+
+| Was the identifier | Cost |
+|---|---|
+| A section's heading text (`## Beziehungen`) | The KB language was a compiler constant, and the region's *end* was a guess. Content sitting after it was silently deleted on eight pages |
+| A relationship label in a body bullet (`- **hängt ab von:**`) | Nothing could check the vocabulary, so it drifted to **152 distinct labels** across 337 bullets against thirteen that were documented |
+| The reciprocal half of every edge | `xref add` mirrored every link, which made per-collection label authorisation impossible and filled `## Siehe auch` with 555 unlabelled bullets, 353 of them provably redundant |
+
+4.0.0 replaces all three. A region is delimited by a marker pair and rendered from frontmatter;
+a label is a machine value in `related:`, drawn from a catalogue and authorised per destination
+by the source collection; an edge is authored in one direction and the inbound view is computed.
+
+**This one touches pages.** Unlike 3.0.0 it is not a contract reshuffle: every `related:` entry
+and every tool-owned body region changes. It is `assisted` because there is no mapping table -
+mapping free-text German onto a 35-label catalogue is a judgment call per edge, and a large
+minority of the old labels are reverse directions that under the new model are not stored at all.
+
+## When to run
+
+After installing 4.0.0 over an instance on 3.x. `tools/wikitool migrate status` names it, and
+`lint` reports `unlabelled_edges` for every unconverted edge - that count reaching zero is how
+you know the run is finished.
+
+**Nothing breaks while it is outstanding.** Unlabelled edges and undelimited regions are read,
+not rejected: `links.py` treats a bare title as an edge whose label is not declared yet, and
+`provenance.split_cite_block` falls back to the pre-marker layout. That is deliberate - a corpus
+has to stay readable while it is being converted - and it is why the two lint findings stay
+advisory for as long as `kb_version` is below 4.0.0, which is exactly as long as this document
+is outstanding.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Rewrite `kb/CONVENTIONS.md`'s `sections:` block.** Three slots become two, because the
+   See Also region is gone:
+
+   ```yaml
+   sections:
+     links: <your heading for declared relationships>
+     footnotes: <your heading for citation definitions>
+   ```
+
+   Delete `section_aliases:` if you have one - nothing matches on heading text any more, so
+   there is nothing to alias. The heading is now a *rendering* value: changing it re-renders
+   the words above each region on the next write and can no longer split a page.
+
+2. **Add an `outbound:` block to every `kb/<name>/COLLECTION.md`.** Which labels a page may use,
+   per destination collection, with `any` as a wildcard:
+
+   ```yaml
+   outbound:
+     entities: [depends-on, runs-on, uses, see-also]
+     concepts: [implements, see-also]
+   ```
+
+   The catalogue to draw from is [link-taxonomy.md](../link-taxonomy.md); the four contracts in
+   the origin repo are worked examples. **The source collection decides** - that is what makes a
+   35-label palette usable, and it is why the reverse edge can no longer be written
+   automatically. A destination you do not list authorises nothing, which is a real answer.
+
+3. **Fix your page type-spec templates.** If you adopted the 3.0.0 templates, they contain
+   `## {section.relationships}` and `## {section.see_also}`. Those variables no longer exist and
+   would be written into new pages literally. **Delete both sections from the `## Template`
+   block** - a template must not scaffold a tool-owned region at all: it is generated between
+   markers on the first `xref add` / `cite add` and re-rendered on every write.
+
+4. **Convert the corpus**, following [migrate-corpus.md](../migrate-corpus.md). Cut it into
+   units sized against the iteration budget; the origin repo used four, ~45 pages each. Per page:
+
+   - For each labelled bullet under the old relationships heading: say the sentence
+     `[this page] <label> [target]` and pick the catalogue label that makes it true. If it only
+     reads true **backwards**, the edge belongs on the other page - move it there rather than
+     inventing an inverse label the catalogue does not have.
+   - For each bare `- [[X]]` bullet under the old See Also heading: drop it if a labelled edge
+     already connects the pair. Otherwise decide - a real label, or dropped with the reason
+     recorded. **Do not convert them to `see-also` in bulk.** That is the one shortcut this
+     migration explicitly refuses: it would start the new taxonomy with most of its edges on its
+     weakest label, which is the sediment the change exists to remove.
+   - Write edges with `tools/wikitool xref add --a "<A>" --b "<B>" --rel <label>`, never by
+     hand. The body region is rendered from `related:`; editing inside a marker pair is
+     overwritten without warning.
+   - `cite sync` converts a page's old footnote block into a marked region in passing.
+
+5. **Check each unit mechanically before anything else:**
+
+   ```bash
+   tools/wikitool migrate verify --from <pre-migration rev> --path kb/<area> --fail-on-error
+   ```
+
+   It compares wikilink and citation **counts**, footnote definitions, H1, structural
+   frontmatter, and - new in 4.0.0 - the **count of marker pairs per region**. A dropped marker
+   is otherwise silent: the region becomes ordinary prose and the next write appends a second
+   one beside it.
+
+6. **Record it. The checks tighten themselves:**
+
+   ```bash
+   tools/wikitool lint          # unlabelled_edges and unauthorised_labels must be 0
+   tools/wikitool migrate done 4.0.0 --pages <N>
+   ```
+
+   Only once `lint` reports zero of both is the run finished. The two findings are advisory
+   while `kb_version` is below 4.0.0 and hard from the moment `migrate done` records it -
+   nothing to flip by hand, and no window in which a half-converted corpus is refused by the
+   check that is measuring its progress.
+
+   Do not record the migration to silence the findings. The promotion is what makes the run
+   stick: after it, a bare title in `related:` is a hard error rather than a page still
+   waiting, so a corpus recorded early fails its next lint instead of quietly keeping the old
+   shape.
+
+## How to tell a migrated page from an unmigrated one
+
+Its `related:` entries are `- <label>: <title>` rather than bare titles, and its relationship
+and footnote sections sit between `<!-- wikitool:links -->` / `<!-- wikitool:footnotes -->`
+marker pairs. `tools/wikitool links show --page "<Title>"` prints `unlabelled` for every edge
+still waiting, and `lint`'s `unlabelled_edges` count is the corpus-wide version of the same
+question.
+
+## Decision points
+
+- **A label you want is not in the catalogue?** Add it - a row in `link-taxonomy.md` and an
+  entry in the authorising `COLLECTION.md`. No code change is involved, and the registers are
+  advisory groupings rather than a schema. Do not stretch a label whose sentence reads false: a
+  wrong edge is worse than a weak one, because it is machine-readable and will be believed.
+- **`related:` holds an entry with no body bullet to derive a label from?** Expected - the
+  origin repo found 480 edges against 337 bullets, because frontmatter and body had already
+  drifted apart while the label lived only in prose. Read the page and decide; that drift is
+  itself part of what this migration repairs.
+- **A page loses its last inbound edge?** The orphan check will now report it, and that is the
+  check working: directional edges mean a page nothing points at is genuinely unreachable, where
+  the old mirrored model always manufactured a back-link. Either something should point at it,
+  or it is reached through the catalog and that is fine.
+- **Tempted to keep writing reverse edges for navigation?** Do not. `links show` computes the
+  inbound view, and the rendered bullet on the asserting page is an ordinary `[[wikilink]]`, so
+  a backlink panel in an editor already shows it.

+short literal list any more (see below) - it is `chemenu.ownership.is_stack_owned`, the same
+predicate `dist_cmd.py`'s export reads, so a stack change that adds a new machinery path under a
+content stage is recognised automatically rather than needing this document edited first.

+**Your local, uncommitted-by-design files under those stages survive.** Forcing a content stage

+matters because `reports/` is gitignored apart from its contract, so it holds data that is in no
+commit and cannot be recomputed: the telemetry traces `eval score` reads, saved eval reports,
+past lint reports. A merge has no business touching any of it, and does not.
+

+hand; see [tools/CONTRACT.md](../tools/CONTRACT.md) for the full error contract, including what
+a real conflict in `tools/`/`types/`/`instructions/` leaves behind.
 
 Then, as after any stack change: `doctor`, `docs verify`, `instructions verify`, `migrate status`,

 **A source in another language** is still summarized in the KB language: a source page is
 evidence *about* a source, not a substitute for it. Quote verbatim in the original language and
 record the raw file's language in `source_language:`.
 
-### Section headings
+### Generated regions
 
-Three headings are a vocabulary the tool owns rather than prose an author picks: `xref add`
+Two regions of a page body are **generated**, not authored: the links region `xref` owns and the
-writes into Relationships and See Also, and `cite add` owns the trailing Footnotes block. They
+footnotes region `cite` owns. Each sits between a marker pair:
-follow the KB language like everything else - `## Beziehungen`, `## Siehe auch`, `## Fußnoten` -
-and `tools/chemenu/sections.py` is the single place naming them.
 
-Each has aliases the tool still *recognizes* but no longer writes, which is what lets the corpus
+```markdown
-be translated page by page: a page still carrying `## Relationships` is found and appended to
+<!-- wikitool:links -->
-correctly, and `cite sync` leaves an untranslated `## Footnotes` heading alone rather than
+## Beziehungen
-retitling it. Renaming a heading is the translation pass's job, never a side effect of another
+
-command. Any *other* heading an author adds is ordinary prose and is translated with the rest.
+- **depends-on:** [[Hermes]]
+<!-- /wikitool:links -->
+```
+
+The marker is what the tool locates the region by, and everything between the markers -
+**heading included** - is replaced wholesale on the next write. An author never edits inside
+them; anything left there is overwritten without warning, exactly as in `kb/index.md`. A region
+with nothing to show is absent rather than empty.
+
+The heading is therefore a *rendering* value, taken from `kb/CONVENTIONS.md`'s `sections:`. No
+heading text exists in the compiler, and nothing matches on it: changing the declaration
+re-renders the words on the next write and cannot split a page.
+
+That is not how it used to work. The tool located these regions by matching their heading text,
+which made a translated heading a structural fact - and made the region's *end* a guess. It ran
+to the next heading, and before that to the end of the file, which silently deleted whatever sat
+after it on eight pages. Any *other* heading a page carries is ordinary prose.
 
 ## Linking

-## Decisions and ADRs
+## Decisions
 
-An architectural decision is a concept page prefixed `adr-NNN-`, e.g.
+An architectural decision is an ordinary concept page with `concept_type: decision`
-`adr-001-use-go-modules.md`. It records:
+(`tools/wikitool types describe concept`) - not a separate format, and not a separate location.
+There is no `adr-NNN-`-prefixed filename and no dedicated directory: naming follows
+[kb/CONVENTIONS.md § Naming](../CONVENTIONS.md#naming) like every other concept, and the page
+lives in `kb/concepts/` like every other concept.

-A superseded ADR is never deleted or rewritten; a new one supersedes it and both link to the
+A decision superseded by a later one is never deleted or rewritten. The new page declares

+`supersedes` pointing at it; the old one needs no edge back, because its inbound view renders the
+replacement.
+
+`concept_type: decision` is also the one subtype [kb/CONTRACT.md](../CONTRACT.md)'s confidence
+machinery treats differently: `confidence decay` skips it structurally, because elapsed time does
+not falsify a decision - only a later decision superseding it does.
+
+## Authorised labels
+
+The `outbound:` block above is what `wikitool lint` and `xref add` check: which labels a page in
+this collection may use, per destination. The catalogue they are drawn from - and what each one
+asserts - is [instructions/link-taxonomy.md](../../instructions/link-taxonomy.md), which binds
+nothing on its own.
+
+The widest authorisation in this instance, because argumentation is what concept pages do. Note that the operational labels are absent: a concept does not `depend-on` anything - the entity implementing it does.
+
+`addresses` is the one that pairs with this collection's own subtypes: a `concept_type: decision`
+or a mechanism pointing at the `concept_type: problem` it answers. Without it, the collection can
+declare a problem and never say what was done about it. `alternative-to` is self-dual and written
+once per pair - see [instructions/link-taxonomy.md](../../instructions/link-taxonomy.md).
+
+Adding a label here is a deliberate contract change, not a way around a refusal.

+## Historie
+
+Das ursprüngliche Schema vom 2026-08-31 hatte ~~genau zwei Pflicht-Labels, `prio/1..3` und
+`size/XS..L`, und verzichtete ausdrücklich auf eine dritte Achse: Art, Bereich oder Status
+wurden verworfen als der Punkt, ab dem eine Taxonomie eigene Pflege braucht, und das Board
+habe einen einzigen Betreuer.~~ Sieben Labels wurden angelegt und auf alle zehn zu dem
+Zeitpunkt offenen Issues
+angewandt[^s-conversation-issue-triage-labels-and-todo-retirement-session-2026-08-31].
+
+Was sich am 2026-09-02 geändert hat:
+
+| Achse | Vorher | Jetzt |
+|---|---|---|
+| `prio/` | `1`, `2`, `3` | `blocking`, `planned`, `waiting` - reine Umbenennung, Bedeutung unverändert |
+| `size/` | `XS`, `S`, `M`, `L` | `S`, `M`, `L` - `XS` entfällt, die übrigen unverändert |
+| `area/` | - | fünf Werte, neu |
+| `kind/` | - | drei Werte, neu |
+| `status/` | - | zwei optionale Flags, neu |
+
+Der Verzicht auf die dritte Achse fiel damit weg, nicht weil die Begründung falsch war,
+sondern weil ihre Voraussetzung entfallen ist: gepflegt wird das Board nicht mehr von Hand.

+---
+# MCP-Leseserver
+
+**Typ:** Architecture
+
+## Definition
+
+Ein zweiter Konsument desselben Kerns, nicht ein zweites Programm: `tools/chemenu/mcp/` exponiert
+`search`, `types`, `describe_type`, `lint` und `status` über MCP, indem es dieselben Funktionen
+aufruft, die `wikitool` auch aufruft - vermittelt durch `chemenu.api.Corpus`, den In-Process-
+Einstiegspunkt. Ein Golden-Test hält die Ausgaben beider Wege gegeneinander, statt darauf zu
+vertrauen, dass sie übereinstimmen.
+
+## Kernpunkte
+
+- **Kein Schreibpfad, strukturell.** Weder der Server noch `chemenu.api` importiert etwas unter
+  `chemenu.commands` - `new`, `touch`, `xref`, `publish`, `migrate` sind aus diesem Prozess
+  heraus nicht erreichbar, statt aus einer Liste gefiltert zu werden. Ein Test importiert das
+  Servermodul in einem frischen Interpreter und prüft
+  `sys.modules`.[^s-mcp-read-server-implementation-session-2026-09-02]
+- **Zwei Transports.** `stdio` zum Entwickeln und Testen ohne Netz; `streamable-http` für die
+  Auslieferung, der einzige, vor den sich ein HTTP-Reverse-Proxy setzen kann. `sse` ist über das
+  SDK erreichbar und wird bewusst nicht angeboten - der abgelöste Remote-Transport, jetzt darauf
+  zu bauen verschiebt den Wechsel nur.
+- **Jede Antwort trägt den Commit, aus dem sie berechnet wurde** (`commit`, `as_of`). Ein
+  veralteter Checkout antwortet sonst selbstbewusst falsch. `null` heißt: der bediente Baum hat
+  uncommittete Änderungen, die Antwort entspricht keiner Revision. Der Stempel ist die Revision,
+  aus der die Seiten *tatsächlich* gelesen wurden, nicht die zum Zeitpunkt des Stempelns aktuelle
+  - ein Bug, der genau diesen Unterschied überging, wurde beim Schreiben des Golden-Tests selbst
+  gefunden und behoben.[^s-mcp-read-server-implementation-session-2026-09-02]
+- **Telemetrie in den bedienten Baum wird beim Start verweigert**, nicht still umgeleitet. Der
+  Sync, der den Checkout aktuell hält (`git fetch && git reset --hard`), darf `reports/telemetry/`
+  wegräumen; ein Trace, der dort landet, wäre ein Verlust und eine stille Möglichkeit, den Baum
+  zu beschmutzen, dessen Sauberkeit der Korpus-Cache prüft.
+- **Kein Iteration Budget Gate im Server.** Das Gate begrenzt eine Agenten-Session am unbemerkten
+  Iterieren über den Wiki-Zustand, nicht einen Nutzer, der oft sucht - Retrieval ist deshalb
+  bereits generell davon ausgenommen (siehe [[Iteration and Cost Limits]]). Rate Limiting gehört
+  stattdessen vor den Prozess, neben die Authentifizierung.
+- **Authentifizierung ist Middleware, nicht Servercode.** Eine Traefik-ForwardAuth-Instanz
+  (Bearer-Token gegen SHA-256-Hashes) sitzt vor dem Prozess; nicht sauber authentifizierte
+  Zugriffe erreichen Python gar nicht erst.
+- **Gemessen:** Korpus-Parse für 176 Seiten 265 ms → 54 ms (`CSafeLoader`),
+  `wikitool search` end-to-end 593 ms → 347 ms; die verbleibenden ~262 ms sind Modulimport und
+  entfallen im residenten Serverprozess, weil er ihn einmal pro Start statt pro Aufruf
+  zahlt.[^s-mcp-read-server-implementation-session-2026-09-02]
+
+## Beispiele
+
+- `search`/`types`/`describe_type`/`lint`/`status` als die fünf Tools - siehe
+  `tools/chemenu/mcp/server.py`.
+- Der Korpus-Cache (`chemenu/corpus_cache.py`) hält einen Parse pro Commit und cacht nie einen
+  schmutzigen Arbeitsbaum - dieselbe Eigenschaft, die den Antwort-Stempel korrekt hält.
+- `chemenu.api.Corpus`: nimmt einen Root, liefert exakt die `--json`-Formen der CLI, raised statt
+  zu exitieren.
+
+## Wann zu verwenden
+
+- Ein Konsument, der keine Shell auf der bedienenden Maschine ist, soll dieselben Fragen stellen
+  können wie ein Agent, der `wikitool` direkt aufruft.
+- Mehrere gleichzeitige Leser eines Korpus, für die ein Prozess pro CLI-Aufruf (Modulimport,
+  Korpus-Parse) unnötigen Overhead bedeutet.
+
+## Wann NICHT zu verwenden
+
+- Als Ort für einen Schreibpfad - die Ingest-Queue (geplant, Issue #32) ist ein anderes Design
+  mit einer Quarantäne davor, nicht eine Erweiterung dieses Servers.
+- Als Ersatz für den Iteration Budget Gate oder das Traefik-Rate-Limiting - beide bleiben
+  notwendig und leben an anderer Stelle.
