-3. Neither the name of the copyright holder nor the names of its contributors may be used to endorse or promote products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.
+  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
+to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
+the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
+share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
+software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
+GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
+any other work released this way by its authors.  You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
 
-THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND CONTRIBUTORS "AS IS" AND ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE DISCLAIMED. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER OR CONTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; LOSS OF USE, DATA, OR PROFITS; OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF THIS SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
+want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
+free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
+these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have
+certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
+you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
+
+  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
+freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
+or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
+know their rights.
+
+  Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
+(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
+giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
+
+  For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
+that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and
+authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
+changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
+authors of previous versions.
+
+  Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
+modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
+can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
+protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic
+pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
+use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we
+have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
+products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
+stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
+of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
+
+  Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
+States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
+software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
+avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
+make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that
+patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+                       TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+  0. Definitions.
+
+  "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
+
+  "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
+works, such as semiconductor masks.
+
+  "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
+License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
+"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
+
+  To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
+in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
+exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
+earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
+
+  A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
+on the Program.
+
+  To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
+permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
+infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
+computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
+distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
+public, and in some countries other activities as well.
+
+  To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
+parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
+a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
+
+  An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
+to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
+feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
+tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
+extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
+work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
+the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
+menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
+
+  1. Source Code.
+
+  The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
+for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
+form of a work.
+
+  A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
+standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
+interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
+is widely used among developers working in that language.
+
+  The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
+than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
+packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
+Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
+Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
+implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
+"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
+(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
+(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
+produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
+
+  The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
+the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
+work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
+control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
+System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
+programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
+which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
+includes interface definition files associated with source files for
+the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
+linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
+such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
+subprograms and other parts of the work.
+
+  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
+can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
+Source.
+
+  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
+same work.
+
+  2. Basic Permissions.
+
+  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
+copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
+conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
+permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
+covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
+content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
+rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
+
+  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
+convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
+in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
+of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
+with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
+the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
+not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
+for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
+and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
+your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
+
+  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
+the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
+makes it unnecessary.
+
+  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
+
+  No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
+measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
+11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
+similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
+measures.
+
+  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
+circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
+is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
+the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
+modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
+users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
+technological measures.
+
+  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
+
+  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
+receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
+appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
+keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
+non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
+keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
+recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
+
+  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
+and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
+
+  5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
+
+  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
+produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
+terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
+    it, and giving a relevant date.
+
+    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
+    released under this License and any conditions added under section
+    7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
+    "keep intact all notices".
+
+    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
+    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
+    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
+    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
+    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
+    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
+    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
+
+    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
+    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
+    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
+    work need not make them do so.
+
+  A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
+works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
+and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
+in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
+"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
+used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
+beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
+in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
+parts of the aggregate.
+
+  6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
+
+  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
+of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
+machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
+in one of these ways:
+
+    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
+    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
+    customarily used for software interchange.
+
+    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
+    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
+    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
+    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
+    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
+    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
+    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
+    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
+    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
+    Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
+
+    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
+    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
+    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
+    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
+    with subsection 6b.
+
+    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
+    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
+    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
+    further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
+    Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
+    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
+    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
+    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
+    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
+    Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
+    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
+    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
+
+    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
+    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
+    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
+    charge under subsection 6d.
+
+  A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
+from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
+included in conveying the object code work.
+
+  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
+tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
+or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
+into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
+doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
+product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
+typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
+of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
+actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
+is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
+commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
+the only significant mode of use of the product.
+
+  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
+procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
+and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
+a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
+suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
+code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
+modification has been made.
+
+  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
+specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
+part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
+User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
+fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
+Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
+by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
+if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
+modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
+been installed in ROM).
+
+  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
+requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
+for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
+the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
+network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
+adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
+protocols for communication across the network.
+
+  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
+in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
+documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
+source code form), and must require no special password or key for
+unpacking, reading or copying.
+
+  7. Additional Terms.
+
+  "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
+License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
+Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
+be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
+that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
+apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
+under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
+this License without regard to the additional permissions.
+
+  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
+remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
+it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
+removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
+additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
+for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
+add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
+that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
+
+    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
+    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
+
+    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
+    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
+    Notices displayed by works containing it; or
+
+    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
+    requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
+    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
+
+    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
+    authors of the material; or
+
+    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
+    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
+
+    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
+    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
+    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
+    any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
+    those licensors and authors.
+
+  All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
+restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
+received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
+governed by this License along with a term that is a further
+restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
+a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
+License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
+of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
+not survive such relicensing or conveying.
+
+  If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
+must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
+additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
+where to find the applicable terms.
+
+  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
+form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
+the above requirements apply either way.
+
+  8. Termination.
+
+  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
+provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
+modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
+this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
+paragraph of section 11).
+
+  However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
+license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
+provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
+finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
+holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
+prior to 60 days after the cessation.
+
+  Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
+reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
+violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
+received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
+copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
+your receipt of the notice.
+
+  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
+licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
+this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
+reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
+material under section 10.
+
+  9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
+
+  You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
+run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
+occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
+to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
+nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
+modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
+not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
+covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
+
+  10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
+
+  Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
+receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
+propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
+for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
+
+  An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
+organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
+organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
+work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
+transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
+licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
+give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
+Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
+the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
+
+  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
+rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
+not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
+rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
+(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
+any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
+sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
+
+  11. Patents.
+
+  A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
+License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
+work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
+
+  A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
+owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
+hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
+by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
+but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
+consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
+purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
+patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
+this License.
+
+  Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
+patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
+make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
+propagate the contents of its contributor version.
+
+  In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
+agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
+(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
+sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
+party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
+patent against the party.
+
+  If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
+and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
+to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
+publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
+then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
+available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
+patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
+consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
+license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
+actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
+covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
+in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
+country that you have reason to believe are valid.
+
+  If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
+arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
+covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
+receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
+or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
+you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
+work and works based on it.
+
+  A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
+the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
+conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
+specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
+work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
+in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
+to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
+the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
+parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
+patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
+conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
+for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
+contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
+or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
+
+  Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
+any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
+otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
+
+  12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
+
+  If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
+covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
+not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
+to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
+the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
+License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
+
+  13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
+permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
+under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
+combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
+License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
+but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
+section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
+combination as such.
+
+  14. Revised Versions of this License.
+
+  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
+the GNU General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
+Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
+Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
+option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
+version or of any later version published by the Free Software
+Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
+GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
+by the Free Software Foundation.
+
+  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
+versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
+public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
+to choose that version for the Program.
+
+  Later license versions may give you additional or different
+permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
+author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
+later version.
+
+  15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
+
+  THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
+APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
+HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
+OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
+THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
+PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
+IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
+ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  16. Limitation of Liability.
+
+  IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
+THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
+GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
+USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
+DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
+PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
+EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
+SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+  17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
+
+  If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
+above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
+reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
+an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
+Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
+copy of the Program in return for a fee.
+
+                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>

+    This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
+    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
+    the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
+    (at your option) any later version.
+

+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of

+    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
+    along with this program.  If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+  If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
+notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
+
+    <program>  Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+    This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+
+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
+parts of the General Public License.  Of course, your program's commands
+might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
+
+  You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
+if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
+For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
+<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+  The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
+into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you
+may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
+the library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
+Public License instead of this License.  But first, please read

+# ADR 0001: Adopt ReleaseKit for release management
+
+## Status
+
+Accepted.
+
+## Date
+
+2026-10-07
+
+## Context
+
+Audita maintains custom release scripts, build tooling, delivery configuration,
+and tests for mechanics shared across applications in the same suite.
+[ReleaseKit](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/ReleaseKit) provides a common implementation and standard workflow for
+those responsibilities.
+
+## Decision
+
+Adopt ReleaseKit for shared release validation, source publication, binary
+builds, version information, and hosted delivery. Audita will follow its standard
+workflow and supply product identity, delivery targets, release notes, and
+necessary product-specific checks.
+
+Better maintainability and less locally owned release-focused code outweigh any
+small advantage from retaining Audita's custom release procedure. Changes to
+that procedure are an accepted consequence of standardization.
+
+## Alternatives considered
+
+Retaining the custom procedure would preserve its exact behavior and local
+control. It would also retain responsibility for duplicated mechanics, tests,
+and maintenance across projects. The shared implementation offers greater
+long-term value.
+
+## Consequences
+
+Audita's release integration becomes smaller, with common mechanics and their
+tests maintained upstream. Audita benefits from shared fixes and takes on
+ReleaseKit dependency maintenance.
+
+Adoption requires updates to release tooling, CI wiring, documentation, and
+runtime version reporting. The [release policy](../policy/release.md) continues
+to govern compatibility and release completion; the
+[release procedure](../release.md) will describe the adopted workflow.

 # Audita CLI Reference
 
-## Shortest Useful Command
+The shared version-2 configuration parser and offline profile inspection serve
+`process`, `config validate`, and `config print-effective`.
+The [configuration reference](config.md) owns fields, defaults, and validation;
+the [migration guide](migrations/v2.md) maps retired inputs.
+
+## Commands and help
 
 ```sh
-audita process transcript.json --glossary glossary.yaml --output corrected.json
+audita process <transcript.json> --glossary <glossary.yml> [flags]
+audita config validate --config <config.yml> [flags]
+audita config print-effective [flags]
+audita version
 ```
 
-This command runs the core workflow with your input files. For a copyable example
-using maintained inputs and explicit prerequisites, see the [README](../README.md).
-Commands here assume `audita` is on `PATH`; use `./bin/audita` after a local build.
+Root invocation, `--help`, `-h`, and command help succeed without loading a config
+file or resolving secrets. Unknown commands and flags return exit code `2`.
+`process` accepts exactly one transcript path, either before the flags or after
+them. With flags first, put the transcript last. Both config commands reject
+positional arguments and process-only flags.
 
-## Command Overview
+All three commands accept `--config <path>` and `--overlay <name>`. `config validate`
+requires an explicit nonempty `--config`; the other commands select the explicit
+file, then `/usr/local/etc/audita/config.yml`, then `/etc/audita/config.yml`.
+Missing system candidates are skipped; inaccessible selected files are errors.
+No file means a configuration error. `AUDITA_CONFIG` is ignored. The selected
+overlay is loaded beside the main file, not used to locate profile files.
 
-- `audita process`: process one transcript JSON file.
-- `audita config validate`: validate a versioned YAML config file.
-- `audita config print-effective`: print redacted effective config JSON.
+`audita version` prints `audita <version>` and a newline to stdout, with no
+application configuration or provider setup. It returns `0` on success with
+empty stderr. `help version`, `version -h`, and `version --help` print command
+usage to stdout and return `0`. Help follows standard flag parsing and can
+short-circuit trailing arguments. Other invalid invocations return `2` with a
+usage error on stderr. The command uses ReleaseKit's public
+`buildinfo.Version()` accessor. It reports an injected release identifier when
+present, otherwise the executable's main-module version when available and not
+`(devel)`, and `dev` when neither source provides a release identifier.
 
-General help:
+## Setting overrides
 
-```sh
-audita --help
-audita process --help
-audita config --help
-```
+Only flags actually supplied override file or overlay settings. `--modules ''`
+clears the module pipeline, and an explicit numeric zero reaches configuration
+validation. The shared setting flags are:
 
-## `process`
+| Setting | Flags |
+| --- | --- |
+| Profile selection | `--proposal-profile`, `--validation-profile` |
+| Pipeline and output | `--modules`, `--output-schema` |
+| Validation budget | `--validation-max-prompt-tokens` |
+| Chunking | `--target-sections`, `--max-section-tokens`, `--min-section-tokens` |
+| Normalization (numeric seconds) | `--normalize-max-segment-gap`, `--normalize-ellipsis-gap`, `--normalize-max-segment-duration`, `--normalize-max-segment-tokens` |
+| Confidence thresholds | `--glossary-confidence-threshold`, `--homophones-confidence-threshold`, `--spoken-word-confidence-threshold`, `--grammar-confidence-threshold` |
+| Context | `--transcript-description` |
+| Reporting | `--reporting[=true\|false]`, `--report-dir DIR` |
+| Debug | `--debug[=true\|false]`, `--work-dir DIR` |
 
-Usage:
+`process` alone accepts `--glossary` (required) and `--output`.
+An omitted or empty output value selects stdout. Nonempty output filenames are
+used literally, including whitespace.
+Reporting defaults to enabled. `--reporting=false` disables all three ordinary
+reports; an explicit false overrides a true file or overlay setting. For stdout
+output, reports use the effective `reporting.stdout_dir`, which defaults to the
+invocation working directory. For file output, they go beside the transcript
+unless `--report-dir` is explicitly supplied. The flag selects the report
+directory for either transcript destination; a config-file or overlay value for
+`reporting.stdout_dir` alone affects stdout output only. A selected report
+directory must be nonblank when reporting is enabled. With reporting disabled,
+the report destination is inactive and is not probed. `--debug` separately
+enables retained detailed artifacts under `--work-dir`; selecting `--work-dir`
+alone does not enable capture. Configuration inspection does not create or
+probe these output directories.
+Per-role model, base URL, key, timeout, retry, and concurrency flags have been
+removed. Models and generation controls belong to PromptKit profiles, backend
+credentials and capacity to configuration, and retry/deadline settings to the
+shared LLM section. Legacy configuration environment overrides are ignored.
 
-```sh
-audita process <transcript.json> [flags]
-```
+## Streams and exit status
 
-Input requirements:
-- exactly one transcript JSON positional argument is required;
-- `--glossary <path>` is required.
+`config validate` loads settings and both selected PromptKit profiles offline,
+then prints `config is valid` on success. `config print-effective` accepts
+`--view settings|profiles|explain` and defaults to `settings`. Settings writes
+ConfigKit's redacted effective-settings YAML. Profiles writes an Audita-owned
+YAML summary of selected ID, backend, model, sampling controls, per-attempt
+timeout, service tier, and reasoning effort for each role. It omits credentials,
+endpoints, and arbitrary extra provider parameters. Explain writes a YAML
+sequence of field paths, source origins, and recorded derivations without
+resolved setting values. An inherited field may also include an `inheritance`
+sequence; each step identifies `from`, `to`, and `reference` paths as JSON
+pointers. These fields describe the effective inheritance chain without
+including configuration values. A direct child override reports its own source
+instead. Debug configuration origins use the same explanation shape. These views
+share the same settings and profile validation path as `process`. Unknown views
+are usage errors. The effective settings YAML is for inspection and is not
+guaranteed reloadable.
 
-Place the transcript path first, followed by flags, as shown above. Flag values
-may use `--name value` or `--name=value`. Unknown flags or extra positional
-arguments are errors. Flags before a final transcript path are also accepted;
-do not interleave further flags after a positional argument consumed by the flag
-parser.
+For `process`, `--output` writes the corrected transcript to a file and leaves
+stdout empty on success. Without it, stdout carries transcript JSON only on
+success. Enabled reporting creates `errors.yml`, `recoveries.yml`, and
+`report.md` in the selected directory. Successful stderr begins with
+`Completed: N corrections applied; E work units with errors; R recoveries.`
+Report and debug locations follow only when created. Model-operation failures
+can coexist with a completed run and applied corrections; read the YAML reports
+for details. Debug artifacts are created only with `--debug`. See the
+[report contract](integrations/output-files.md).
 
-[Configuration discovery and precedence](config.md#loading-model) determine the
-initial settings; explicit process flags supply overrides. Configuration is loaded
-before process help is printed, so invalid discovered configuration can also make
-process help fail. Input formats belong to the
-[input-file contract](integrations/transcript-glossary-files.md).
+Exit codes are `0` for success, `1` for runtime or output failure, and `2` for
+usage or configuration input errors. Invalid settings and profiles return `2`;
+broken embedded assets, caller cancellation, fatal processing, and required
+output failures return `1`. A late report-write failure can follow a published
+transcript; exit status and report status remain authoritative.
+Configuration commands inspect profiles without contacting a provider.

-### `process` Output and Exit Behavior
-
-- With `--output`: stdout is expected to be empty on success.
-- Without `--output`: stdout contains transcript JSON only on success.
-- `--report-json` writes a file and is never printed to stdout.
-- Stderr is human-readable diagnostics/errors.
-- Processing failures include the diagnostics directory path when initialization
-  succeeded. Later report-write or retention errors can omit that path.
-- Output files may already exist when a later reporting or cleanup failure occurs.
-- Rejected/skipped corrections and warnings can occur in a successful run; inspect
-  the [report format](integrations/output-files.md#process-report) for details.
-- Diagnostic wording is human-readable and is not a machine-stable JSON channel.
-
-Exit behavior:
-- `0`: success.
-- `1`: runtime failure during processing/reporting/output or retention handling.
-- `2`: CLI usage or configuration input error.

-### `process` Examples
-
-Write corrected transcript to a file:
-
-```sh
-audita process transcript.json \
-  --glossary glossary.yaml \
-  --output corrected.json
-```
-
-Emit transcript JSON to stdout:
-
-```sh
-audita process transcript.json --glossary glossary.yaml
-```
-
-Use explicit config and write report JSON:
-
-```sh
-audita process transcript.json \
-  --glossary glossary.yaml \
-  --config audita.yml \
-  --output corrected.json \
-  --report-json report.json
-```
-
-Override the module sequence:
-
-```sh
-audita process transcript.json \
-  --glossary glossary.yaml \
-  --modules glossary,homophones,grammar \
-  --output corrected.json
-```
-
-## Configuration Commands
-
-### `config validate`
-
-```sh
-audita config validate --config examples/minimal-config.yml
-audita config validate --config examples/production-config.yml
-```
-
-The only command-specific flag is `--config <path>`, which is required.
-Positional arguments are rejected. Success prints `config is valid` to stdout
-and returns zero; usage, file-read, parse, and validation errors go to stderr and
-return `2`. See [applied configuration sources](config.md#effective-precedence)
-and [validation boundaries](config.md#examples).
-
-### `config print-effective`
-
-```sh
-audita config print-effective --config examples/minimal-config.yml
-```
-
-The only command-specific flag is optional `--config <path>`. Positional
-arguments are rejected. Without an explicit file, [discovery](config.md#loading-model)
-applies. Success prints redacted configuration JSON to stdout and returns zero.
-Usage and configuration errors return `2`; serialization or stdout-write failures
-return `1`.
-
-The printed JSON reflects the effective in-memory configuration; it is not a YAML
-configuration file and is not the process-report schema. Use it to inspect merged
-settings, not as a file to pass back to the YAML loader.
-
-## Help
-
-Root invocation without arguments and root help print usage successfully. Use
-`--help` or `-h` for subcommand help. Help normally returns zero; process help has
-the configuration-loading caveat described above. Unknown commands return `2`.

 # Audita Configuration
 
-This is the canonical reference for discovery, settings, defaults, environment
-mapping, and validation. [CLI syntax](cli.md), [artifact lifecycle](operations.md),
-and [file formats](integrations/output-files.md) have separate owners.
+This reference describes the version-2 configuration loader in `internal/core/config`.
+Use the maintained [local](../examples/minimal-config.yml) and
+[service](../examples/production-config.yml) examples with their separately
+selected [local profiles](../examples/profiles/local/) and
+[service profiles](../examples/profiles/service/), plus the optional
+[testing overlay](../examples/overlays/testing.yml).
+The [ConfigKit inheritance example](../examples/configkit-inheritance.yml)
+shows a local child backend reusing and overriding sibling settings.
+Choose real models for your endpoint; a testing profile makes no cost or quality
+guarantee. See the [migration guide](migrations/v2.md) for retired inputs.
 
-## Loading Model
+## Loading and precedence
 
-For processing and effective-config inspection, the first applicable source
-selects one YAML file:
+The application selects one main YAML file: an explicit `--config`, then
+`/usr/local/etc/audita/config.yml` if present, then `/etc/audita/config.yml`
+if present. Missing system candidates are skipped; an explicit missing or empty
+path, inaccessible selected file, or absence of any selected file is an error.
+`config validate` requires an explicit file. ConfigKit loads built-in defaults,
+the selected file, an optional named overlay from `overlays/<name>.yml` beside the
+main file, and only explicitly supplied setting overrides, in that order. Imports
+and secret-directory bootstrap are disabled. Unknown fields and missing, null,
+or non-integer `version: 2` are errors. Version-1 files require migration; no
+compatibility loader or implicit environment configuration remains.
 
-1. Explicit CLI config path.
-2. `AUDITA_CONFIG`.
-3. `/usr/local/etc/audita/config.yml`, if present.
-4. `/etc/audita/config.yml`, if present.
+After overlay and explicit CLI override precedence is applied, ConfigKit resolves
+native sibling inheritance before typed decoding. Any input mapping may use
+`extends: <sibling-name>`; the child keeps its key, inherits parent settings, and
+overrides them with its own settings. Selected overlay and CLI values therefore
+participate in inheritance at their normal precedence. The generic syntax and
+resolution rules are defined by ConfigKit v0.7.1's
+[sibling inheritance contract](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/ConfigKit/src/tag/v0.7.1/docs/config.md#sibling-inheritance).
 
-These files are alternatives, not layers merged together. Missing system files
-are skipped. An empty or missing explicitly selected path is an error, as is an
-inaccessible selected file. Without a selected file, built-in defaults apply.
-The validation command requires an explicit file and does not use discovery.
+`extends` is reserved structural input in base files, imports, overlays, and
+other application input mappings, including mapping values supplied by explicit
+CLI setting overrides. ConfigKit consumes it before typed decoding. A previously
+valid backend whose ID is literally `extends` cannot be represented under this
+rule. Rename that backend to a non-conflicting ID and update every PromptKit
+profile that selects it. This compatibility impact means the upgrade does not
+promise that every previously valid configuration remains valid.
 
-## Effective Precedence
+Inherited values count as explicit input, including zero, false, empty, and
+null. Existing field rules still apply: for example, inherited backend
+concurrency must be positive, while an inherited queue capacity of zero is
+valid. Parent backends undergo the same decoding and application validation as
+other backends, whether or not a selected profile uses them. A child
+`credential: null` removes the child's inherited credential; it does not remove
+the parent's credential reference, which remains subject to ordinary secret
+resolution.
 
-| Operation | Applied sources, lowest to highest precedence |
-| --- | --- |
-| Process | Built-in defaults, selected file, environment overrides, explicit CLI overrides |
-| Print effective configuration | Built-in defaults, selected file, environment overrides |
-| Validate configuration file | Built-in defaults, explicit file |
+Validation runs after overlays, explicit overrides, and derived settings have
+resolved. An override can therefore repair an invalid lower-precedence setting
+when that setting can be decoded. ConfigKit retains field origins and derivations
+for effective-configuration inspection. Its effective YAML redacts resolved
+credentials.
 
-File validation does not apply configuration environment overrides, but it still
-resolves environment variables named by `api_key_env` fields. Each configuration
-layer is validated as it is applied: a later override cannot repair an invalid
-earlier layer. [Config commands](cli.md#configuration-commands) provide inspection
-and validation without processing a transcript or contacting an LLM.
+### PromptKit profiles and operator prompts
 
-## File Schema
+`profiles_dir` selects a PromptKit configuration root, resolved against the
+selected main file's directory unless it is absolute. The root may contain
+keyed `profiles`, `backends`, and `prompts` definitions; it is not limited to
+profile-only files. IDs come from literal YAML mapping keys, never filenames.
+Multiple definitions may share a document, and a document may contribute to any
+of the supported mappings. Directory discovery is recursive, but discovery
+order does not establish field precedence. Contributions within each source
+group must compose without conflicting values.
 
-The file is YAML with required `version: 1`. Unknown fields are rejected.
-The remaining sections and fields below are optional. Omitted values preserve
-lower-precedence settings, except for the documented inheritance rules.
-Complete copyable files are in [examples](#examples).
+PromptKit assembles sources in this order: its selected catalogs and owned
+defaults, Audita's embedded prompt/schema inputs, operator documents under
+`profiles_dir`, then the application backend mapping. The application mapping
+owns each configured endpoint, concurrency limit, queue capacity, and credential
+environment lookup. Other supported provider fields can be contributed by the
+operator documents. Imports remain disabled. The current maintained examples
+select separate roots: [local](../examples/profiles/local/) and
+[service](../examples/profiles/service/), so definitions for one backend do not
+enter the other example's final configuration.
 
-### Pipeline and Output
+Both selected roles must resolve to an existing profile, registered backend,
+nonblank effective model, and nonblank endpoint. The normalized effective
+endpoint must match the application backend endpoint. A selected profile cannot
+introduce a competing `api_key_env` lookup; the application backend credential
+supplies the runtime key when required. Other unselected profiles may be
+partial, but every final backend, profile, and prompt definition is validated
+when the engine is constructed. A malformed or conflicting unused definition
+can therefore make the selected root invalid. A missing selected root is an
+operator configuration error; an empty root may contribute no definitions.
 
-| YAML field | Default | Meaning |
+Profile IDs and parent IDs are exact, literal keys. PromptKit profiles can use
+native `extends` inheritance; child fields override inherited fields, while
+unmentioned controls survive changes to model or backend. For example:
+
+```yaml
+profiles:
+  "shared~base":
+    backend: service
+    model: example-model
+    temperature: 0.4
+    top_p: 0.8
+  "proposal fast":
+    extends: "shared~base"
+    model: faster-model
+    temperature: 0
+```
+
+Presence matters. Explicit `temperature: 0` is sent as zero; omission leaves it
+unspecified; null suppresses an inherited temperature. Other fields have their
+own native null and omission rules. Provider `extra_params` maps merge
+recursively, and a null provider value is sent as JSON null. See the pinned
+[PromptKit format reference](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/promptkit/src/tag/v0.14.0/docs/formats.md)
+for the complete field semantics.
+
+Operator documents can also override an embedded prompt/version, including its
+messages and definition-level output settings. Shared variables supplied by the
+adapter are rendered only when an effective message references them; Audita does
+not append omitted shared text. Audita's per-call schemas, structural repair
+budget, and downstream domain validators remain in force. The engine captures
+effective definitions and message-file contents when constructed, so edits are
+observed only by a newly constructed runtime.
+
+### Migrating PromptKit profile documents
+
+For the PromptKit v0.11 format, wrap each profile's fields under
+`profiles: {<literal-id>: ...}`, remove inner `id`, and replace
+`base_profile` with `extends`. Profile and prompt IDs are mapping keys, so they
+need not match source filenames. Review zeros, omitted values, and nulls against
+the native presence rules before deploying. Select a root whose final
+definitions have valid backend references; eager validation applies even to
+unselected definitions. See the complete maintained [local](../examples/minimal-config.yml)
+and [service](../examples/production-config.yml) examples and the pinned
+[consumer migration guide](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/promptkit/src/tag/v0.14.0/docs/consumers/pkg-promptkit.md#migrate-from-the-previous-configuration-api).
+This incompatible profile-format migration is intended for an Audita major
+release; no automatic file conversion is provided.
+
+The [CLI inspection views](cli.md#streams-and-exit-status) show selected
+controls and field provenance separately from ConfigKit's redacted settings
+YAML. Inspection resolves both roles without provider calls.
+
+## Settings
+
+| Field | Default | Rule |
 | --- | --- | --- |
-| `pipeline.modules` | `[glossary, homophones, glossary, spoken_word, grammar]` | Ordered module sequence. Supported keys are `glossary`, `homophones`, `spoken_word`, and `grammar`; repeated keys are allowed. An omitted or empty YAML list leaves the sequence unchanged. |
-| `output.schema` | `bare-segments` | Output encoder selection: `bare-segments` or `audita-v1`. See [output formats](integrations/output-files.md#corrected-transcript). |
+| `profiles_dir` | `profiles` | Nonempty PromptKit document root; resolved relative to the selected main file, or absolute. |
+| `backends.<id>.endpoint` | None | Required nonempty endpoint for each backend. At least one backend is required. |
+| `backends.<id>.concurrency` | `1` | Positive finite capacity; shared by both roles using that backend. |
+| `backends.<id>.queue_capacity` | `1024` | Nonnegative; zero disables waiting admission. |
+| `backends.<id>.credential` | Unset | Optional environment-variable secret reference; omission or null means unauthenticated use. |
+| `llm.proposal_profile` | None | Required nonempty profile ID. |
+| `llm.validation_profile` | Final proposal profile | Omission inherits the final proposal selection; explicit empty or null fails. |
+| `llm.transient_retries` | `2` | Nonnegative additional attempts per generation. |
+| `llm.repair_attempts` | `2` | Additional structural repair generations, from zero through three. |
+| `llm.operation_timeout` | `15m` | Positive Go duration string per logical call. |
+| `pipeline.modules` | `[glossary, homophones, glossary, spoken_word, grammar]` | Ordered module keys; repeats are meaningful and an explicit empty list runs no correction modules. |
+| `output.schema` | `bare-segments` | `bare-segments` or `audita-v1`. See [output formats](integrations/output-files.md). |
+| `validation.max_prompt_tokens` | `2048` | Positive validation batching budget. |
+| `chunking.target_sections` | Unset | Optional positive target; omission or null selects automatic chunking. |
+| `chunking.max_section_tokens` | `8192` | Positive maximum estimate. |
+| `chunking.min_section_tokens` | `2048` | Positive and no greater than maximum. |
+| `normalization.max_segment_gap` | `4.0` | Nonnegative numeric seconds. |
+| `normalization.ellipsis_gap` | `3.5` | Nonnegative numeric seconds. |
+| `normalization.max_segment_duration` | `60.0` | Positive numeric seconds. |
+| `normalization.max_segment_tokens` | `2048` | Positive token estimate. |
+| `thresholds.glossary`, `.homophones`, `.spoken_word`, `.grammar` | `0.8` each | Confidence thresholds in `[0, 1]`. |
+| `context.description` | Empty | Trimmed prompt context, at most 500 bytes. |
+| `reporting.enabled` | `true` | Write the ordinary three-file report bundle when processing. |
+| `reporting.stdout_dir` | `.` | Report directory for stdout transcript output; a `--report-dir` flag can select reports for either transcript destination. |
+| `diagnostics.debug` | `false` | Persist detailed debug artifacts when processing. |
+| `diagnostics.work_dir` | `/tmp/audita` | Parent of the retained debug run directory; required only when debug is enabled. |
 
-Module keys select correction stages. Validator chains are built into each module;
-there is no configuration field for selecting individual validator keys.
+Module keys select correction modules; validator chains remain built into them.
+The loader preserves module order and repetitions. Normalization time settings
+accept numeric seconds only. The operation timeout uses a duration string.
+`reporting.stdout_dir` must be nonblank when it supplies the active report
+destination: for stdout output, or for file output when `--report-dir` is
+explicitly supplied. File output without that flag uses the transcript's parent,
+so the configured value is inactive. Reporting-disabled runs do not select a
+report directory. `diagnostics.work_dir` must be nonblank only with debug
+enabled. These path requirements are checked when choosing process destinations,
+not during configuration inspection.
 
-### LLM Settings
+## Credentials
 
-The same fields are supported under `llm.proposal` and `llm.validation`.
+A backend credential is a ConfigKit secret reference containing an environment
+variable name, such as `credential: AUDITA_SERVICE_KEY`. Every reference that
+survives overlay and override resolution must name a set, nonempty variable,
+including credentials on backends unused by the selected roles. A replacement
+reference resolves only the replacement; null removes the reference. General
+`AUDITA_*` and `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` variables have no implicit setting effect.
+Secret values are available to the runtime through the resolved reference, while
+ConfigKit's effective output and provenance contain no resolved secret values.
 
-| Field suffix | Proposal default | Meaning |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| `base_url` | `https://openrouter.ai/api/v1` | Endpoint base URL; the [LLM contract](integrations/openai-compatible-llm.md#endpoint-and-authentication) defines how it is used. |
-| `model` | `openrouter/google/gemma-4-31b-it` | Model identifier sent to the endpoint. Availability is determined by that endpoint. |
-| `api_key_env` | Unset | Name of an environment variable containing the API key; see [secrets](#secrets). |
-| `timeout` | `600` seconds | Positive integer seconds or a duration string resolving to whole seconds, such as `120s`. |
-| `max_retries` | `3` | Non-negative retry count after the initial attempt; retry conditions belong to the [LLM contract](integrations/openai-compatible-llm.md#retries-and-timeouts). |
-
-Validation settings inherit the effective proposal settings individually. Empty
-validation model, base URL, or API key values inherit the proposal value; omitted
-validation timeout and retry count inherit, while an explicit retry count of zero
-is retained in configuration. The current HTTP adapter interprets a retry count
-of zero as its default of three retries, so zero does not disable retries.
-No API key is required by local config validation. Model and base-URL
-usability are checked during client setup/requests, not by an online config check.
-
-### Concurrency
-
-| YAML field | Default | Meaning |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| `concurrency.total_llm` | `1` | Positive total concurrent LLM-call limit. |
-| `concurrency.proposal_llm` | `1` | Positive proposal-call limit, no greater than total. |
-| `concurrency.validation_llm` | Inherits total | Positive validation-call limit, no greater than total. |
-
-In a YAML file, setting total alone does not change proposal concurrency. At the
-environment or CLI layer, setting total without setting proposal at that same
-layer also sets proposal to that total, even if a lower layer supplied a proposal
-value. Unset validation concurrency inherits the final total. The canonical total
-setting wins over its legacy alias when both appear at the same layer.
-
-Validation prompt budgeting is available through environment or CLI only:
-`AUDITA_VALIDATION_MAX_PROMPT_TOKENS` has default `2048` and must be positive.
-There is no YAML field for it.
-
-### Chunking and Normalization
-
-| YAML field | Default | Meaning and validation |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| `chunking.target_sections` | Unset | Optional positive target count. Processing rejects targets impossible for the normalized transcript and token constraints. |
-| `chunking.max_section_tokens` | `8192` | Positive maximum section token estimate. |
-| `chunking.min_section_tokens` | `2048` | Positive minimum used in chunk balancing; no greater than maximum. |
-| `normalization.max_segment_gap` | `4.0` seconds | Non-negative gap limit for same-speaker merging. |
-| `normalization.ellipsis_gap` | `3.5` seconds | Non-negative gap threshold for inserting an ellipsis during merging. |
-| `normalization.max_segment_duration` | `60.0` seconds | Positive merged-segment duration limit. |
-| `normalization.max_segment_tokens` | `2048` | Positive merged-segment token estimate limit. |
-
-The three normalization time fields accept numeric seconds or YAML duration
-strings. Their environment and CLI overrides use numeric seconds. Section token
-counts are estimates; config validation does not test whether a particular input
-can satisfy the selected chunking target.
-
-### Thresholds, Context, and Diagnostics
-
-| YAML field | Default | Meaning and validation |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| `thresholds.glossary` | `0.8` | Glossary correction confidence threshold, in `[0, 1]`. |
-| `thresholds.homophones` | `0.8` | Homophone correction confidence threshold, in `[0, 1]`. |
-| `thresholds.spoken_word` | `0.8` | Spoken-word correction confidence threshold, in `[0, 1]`. |
-| `thresholds.grammar` | `0.8` | Grammar correction confidence threshold, in `[0, 1]`. |
-| `context.description` | Empty | Trimmed background context for prompts; limited to 500 bytes of UTF-8 text after trimming. It does not replace transcript content. |
-| `diagnostics.work_dir` | `/tmp/audita` | Non-empty parent directory for run artifacts. |
-| `diagnostics.retention` | `auto` | Accepted values: `auto`, `always`, `never`. Exact lifecycle behavior, including the current behavior of `never`, belongs to [operations](operations.md#retention-behavior). |
-
-## Environment Overrides
-
-Values are read when the variable is set. Empty values are not generally equivalent
-to unset values: numeric overrides must parse, and empty strings may clear a
-setting or fail validation. Numeric environment values use integers or floating
-point seconds as indicated above, not duration strings.
-
-| Environment variable | Setting |
-| --- | --- |
-| `AUDITA_CONFIG` | Config file selection |
-| `AUDITA_MODULES` | Module sequence as comma-separated keys |
-| `AUDITA_LLM_API_KEY` | Direct proposal API key |
-| `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` | Proposal API key fallback when `AUDITA_LLM_API_KEY` is unset |
-| `AUDITA_MODEL` | Proposal model |
-| `AUDITA_BASE_URL` | Proposal endpoint |
-| `AUDITA_LLM_TIMEOUT_SECONDS` | Proposal timeout |
-| `AUDITA_MAX_RETRIES` | Proposal retries |
-| `AUDITA_VALIDATION_LLM_API_KEY` | Direct validation API key |
-| `AUDITA_VALIDATION_MODEL` | Validation model |
-| `AUDITA_VALIDATION_BASE_URL` | Validation endpoint |
-| `AUDITA_VALIDATION_LLM_TIMEOUT_SECONDS` | Validation timeout |
-| `AUDITA_VALIDATION_MAX_RETRIES` | Validation retries |
-| `AUDITA_TOTAL_LLM_CONCURRENCY` | Total concurrency |
-| `AUDITA_LLM_CONCURRENCY` | Legacy total-concurrency alias |
-| `AUDITA_PROPOSAL_LLM_CONCURRENCY` | Proposal concurrency |
-| `AUDITA_VALIDATION_LLM_CONCURRENCY` | Validation concurrency |
-| `AUDITA_VALIDATION_MAX_PROMPT_TOKENS` | Validation prompt budget |
-| `AUDITA_TARGET_SECTIONS` | Section target |
-| `AUDITA_MAX_SECTION_TOKENS` | Section maximum |
-| `AUDITA_MIN_SECTION_TOKENS` | Section minimum |
-| `AUDITA_NORMALIZE_MAX_SEGMENT_GAP` | Merge gap |
-| `AUDITA_NORMALIZE_ELLIPSIS_GAP` | Ellipsis gap |
-| `AUDITA_NORMALIZE_MAX_SEGMENT_DURATION` | Merged duration limit |
-| `AUDITA_NORMALIZE_MAX_SEGMENT_TOKENS` | Merged token estimate limit |
-| `AUDITA_GLOSSARY_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD` | Glossary threshold |
-| `AUDITA_HOMOPHONES_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD` | Homophone threshold |
-| `AUDITA_SPOKEN_WORD_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD` | Spoken-word threshold |
-| `AUDITA_GRAMMAR_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD` | Grammar threshold |
-| `AUDITA_WORK_DIR` | Diagnostics directory |
-| `AUDITA_WORK_DIR_RETENTION` | Retention selection |
-
-There is no environment override for output schema or transcript description.
-Use file configuration or the corresponding [CLI flags](cli.md#process-flag-reference).
-
-## Secrets
-
-File config accepts environment variable names through `api_key_env`, not literal
-API-key fields. Names must be non-empty and match an environment-variable
-identifier; an unset named variable resolves to an empty value. Runtime environment
-key overrides take precedence over keys resolved from a file. CLI key flags supply
-direct values and take precedence over environment settings.
-
-Effective-config inspection redacts API keys. Configured LLM secrets are also
-redacted by the runtime's error and diagnostic handling, but transcript content
-is still sensitive: see [artifact handling](operations.md#artifact-handling).
-
-## Examples
-
-- [Minimal configuration](../examples/minimal-config.yml): starts from defaults
-  and obtains the proposal key from the environment.
-- [Production-oriented configuration](../examples/production-config.yml): illustrates
-  both LLM targets, concurrency, chunking, normalization, thresholds, and diagnostics.
-  Its explicit section target is intended for larger inputs, not the tiny sample.
-- [Tiny transcript](../examples/tiny-transcript.json) and
-  [tiny glossary](../examples/tiny-glossary.yaml): inputs for the README quickstart.
-
-Use the [CLI configuration commands](cli.md#configuration-commands) to validate
-files and inspect effective settings. Validation checks local structure and
-constraints; it does not verify credentials, model availability, or endpoint access.

 # OpenAI-Compatible LLM Integration
 
-This document owns the external protocol used by Audita's structured LLM adapter.
-Settings, inheritance, defaults, and credential supply belong to

-[LLM runtime internals](../internal/llm-runtime.md).
+Audita uses the pinned [PromptKit](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/promptkit)
+built-in OpenAI-compatible transport. PromptKit owns chat-completions wire framing,
+provider envelope parsing, transient retries, per-generation timeouts, and JSON
+Schema repair. A backend's configured base endpoint must support the selected
+profile's model and structured JSON-schema responses; local configuration
+inspection does not contact the provider.
 
-## Endpoint and Authentication
+Audita selects a role profile, supplies its registered backend credential, and
+passes the embedded response schema as a complete per-call output contract. It
+prepares each call once, checks that the prepared target still matches the
+inspected backend and endpoint, then executes that same prepared request. A
+profile cannot introduce a separate credential environment lookup. An absent
+backend credential permits an unauthenticated local service.
 
-Audita sends an HTTP `POST` to the configured base URL with trailing slashes

+cancellation or an earlier deadline also applies. See [configuration](../config.md#settings)

+for the pinned protocol and retry details.
 
-The endpoint must support the configured model and structured JSON-schema
-responses. Local configuration validation does not probe that support.
-
-## Request Shape
-
-The payload contains `model`, an array of `messages` with string `role`/`content`,
-and `response_format`. The structured-output portion has this illustrative shape:
-
-```json
-{
-  "type": "json_schema",
-  "json_schema": {
-    "name": "correction_set",
-    "strict": true,
-    "schema": {"type": "object"}
-  }
-}
-```
-
-The actual schema is supplied for the call; the fragment above is not a complete
-request schema. Runtime calls use `correction_set` and `validator_decision_set`
-identities. The adapter requires a non-empty resolved model, non-empty message
-roles/content, a schema name, and valid schema JSON. It sends strict mode to the
-provider; local typed decoding and proposal/decision checks still apply afterward.
-
-## Response Handling Contract
-
-A successful response must be a JSON envelope with at least one `choices` item.
-Audita reads the first choice's `message.content`, accepting a non-empty string
-containing JSON or a non-null raw JSON value that can decode into the expected
-output type. Empty content, missing choices, and incompatible payloads fail.
-The adapter also reads optional `model` and token-usage metadata.
-
-There is no streaming protocol or provider SDK dependency in this integration.
-Audita uses this chat-completions contract, not other provider API shapes.
-
-## Retries and Timeouts
-
-The effective adapter retry count is additional attempts after the initial request;
-see [configuration](../config.md#llm-settings) for the current zero-value behavior.
-Transport/read errors, malformed response envelopes/content, typed decode failures,
-HTTP `429`, and server-error responses are retryable. Other non-success HTTP
-responses and a response missing choices are not retried by the adapter.
-Cancellation or an expired context stops retrying.
-
-The configured HTTP timeout applies per request; it is not a whole-process time
-budget. A parent process can impose its own overall timeout. See
-[configuration](../config.md#llm-settings) for timeout and retry values and
-[subprocess guidance](subprocess.md) for parent responsibilities.
-
-## Error Behavior
-
-For non-success responses, error detail comes from provider `error.message`, then
-a top-level `message`, otherwise the HTTP status and response body. Configured
-keys are redacted from surfaced errors and LLM diagnostic payloads.
-
-Malformed structured responses can become section/batch warnings and rejected
-proposals rather than fatal run errors, depending on the call site. Other adapter
-failures can terminate processing with partial results. Consult the
-[report contract](output-files.md#module-outcomes) for those outcomes and
-[operations](../operations.md#artifact-handling) for handling diagnostic contents.
+A model operation that exhausts structural repair, a live-parent local operation
+timeout, capacity rejection, transport failure, malformed provider response,
+or provider HTTP failure is recoverable for that operation. Proposal generation
+then contributes no candidates from that response; a failed validation batch
+marks its candidates unavailable while other batches and later modules can
+continue. Caller cancellation, broken assets or configuration, and unknown
+internal failures remain fatal and cancel peers. Audita decodes into domain
+types only after PromptKit validates the JSON. Ordinary reports use safe reason
+codes and counts rather than provider messages. Full request/response content
+is written only with `--debug`; see [operations](../operations.md#diagnostics-directory).

-# Output Files and Report Formats
-
-This document owns externally consumed corrected-transcript and report formats,
-and describes the correction ledger and utilization diagnostics. It documents
-current serialized shapes without making every debugging artifact a versioned
-compatibility promise. Physical filenames, placement, retention, and permissions
-belong to [operations](../operations.md); invocation and output channels belong to
-the [CLI](../cli.md#process-output-and-exit-behavior).
+# Output Files and Reports
 
 ## Corrected Transcript
 
-The [output setting](../config.md#pipeline-and-output) selects the envelope:
+The corrected transcript uses the selected `output.schema`: `bare-segments`
+or `audita-v1`. Its schema and text rules are unchanged by resilience
+reporting. See [configuration](../config.md#settings) for selection and
+[operations](../operations.md#required-output-files) for placement and writes.
 
-| Encoder | JSON shape |
+With reporting enabled, Audita produces three ordinary files:
+
+- `errors.yml`: affected work units and run-level failures;
+- `recoveries.yml`: successful logical model operations with repair, service
+  retry, or response filtering;
+- `report.md`: a concise overview and complete per-chunk matrices.
+
+The YAML documents have Audita-owned schemas `audita-errors` and
+`audita-recoveries`, each with integer `version: 1`. Both contain, in order,
+`schema`, `version`, `run_id`, `status`, `started_at`, `completed_at`, `summary`,
+and an always-present `errors` or `recoveries` sequence. Status is
+`in_progress`, `completed`, or `failed`. Times are UTC RFC3339 strings;
+`completed_at` is null until finalization. A recoverable model error can appear
+with `status: completed`.
+
+## Summary Counts
+
+Both documents carry the same summary, in this order:
+
+| Count | Meaning |
 | --- | --- |
-| `bare-segments` | Top-level array of segment objects |
-| `audita-v1` | Object with `schema: "audita-v1"`, `version: "v1"`, and `segments` containing the segment array |
+| `work_units_total` | Configured module instances × initial chunks. |
+| `work_units_started`, `work_units_completed`, `work_units_interrupted`, `work_units_not_started` | Explicit processing states. |
+| `work_units_with_errors` | Distinct units with recoverable operation failures. |
+| `run_errors` | Fatal processing or output failures outside that unit count. |
+| `corrections_applied` | Approved proposals applied, not replacement occurrences. |
+| `llm_operations` | Structured-client invocations, including pre-dispatch failures. |
+| `proposal_responses` | Structurally usable proposal responses. |
+| `recoveries` | Successful operations with one or more recovery reasons. |
+| `proposal_responses_with_filtering` | Proposal responses that filtered at least one defective proposal. |
 
-Both emit these segment fields:
+Unknown counts before processing are `null`; completed empty counts are `0`.
+Retries and repair generations are details of one operation, not additional
+operations. Provider token usage, execution timing, and attempt-level evidence
+remain in opt-in debug files.
 
-| Field | Type | Meaning |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| `id` | Integer | Identifier in the normalized transcript |
-| `speaker` | String | Speaker label |
-| `start`, `end` | Numbers | Start/end times in seconds |
-| `text` | String | Text after normalization and accepted corrections |
-| `categories` | Array of strings, optional | Segment categories; omitted when empty |
+## Error and Recovery Records
 
-Input IDs and segment boundaries need not survive normalization unchanged;
-normalization can merge segments and reassign IDs. The output describes the
-resulting transcript, not a lossless copy of the source JSON. Input acceptance
-rules belong to the [input-file contract](transcript-glossary-files.md).
+An `errors` record with `scope: work_unit` identifies zero-based `stage_index`
+and `chunk_index`, module key/instance, initial segment range, applied-correction
+count, and a `failures` sequence. Each failure identifies the operation
+(`proposal`, `validation`, or `validation_input`), optional validator and
+zero-based batch index, safe reason/message, sorted proposal indices when
+known, and execution counts when available. Multiple failed batches in one
+work unit form one error record. `scope: run` instead records phase, safe reason
+and message, optional origin, and output path where relevant. It can describe
+a fatal error or secondary output-write failure without inventing a failed
+model work unit. Raw provider errors and transcript text are absent.
+For `validation_decisions_invalid`, proposal indices identify only candidates
+whose required decisions were unavailable. Other candidates in the same batch
+may still be approved or rejected normally.
 
-## Process Report
+Each recovery identifies its work unit and successful operation, with sorted
+`reasons`, a safe message, available execution counts, and sorted
+`filtered_proposals` details. One recovery can contain `output_repaired`,
+`service_recovered`, and `proposals_filtered` together. Filtering covers
+defective response proposals; low confidence, protected-term rejection,
+ordinary editorial rejection, and an apply-time conflict caused by an earlier
+accepted correction are not filtering recoveries. Failed operations are errors,
+not recoveries. The initial chunk identity remains stable even if earlier
+modules change its text.
+`validation_decisions_filtered` records unexpected validator decision indices
+ignored from a successful validation batch. It may accompany repair or service
+recovery reasons, but it does not add `filtered_proposals` or increment
+`proposal_responses_with_filtering`. A batch with unavailable requested decisions
+is an error even when unexpected indices were also ignored.
 
-The report is a JSON object. `report_metadata` identifies its schema separately
-from the transcript output envelope:
+## Markdown Overview
 
-| Metadata field | Type / current value |
-| --- | --- |
-| `report_schema_name` | String: `audita-process-report` |
-| `report_schema_version` | String: `v1` |
-| `output_schema` | String identifying the selected transcript encoder |
-| `config_version` | Optional integer, present when file configuration was loaded |
+`report.md` includes run ID, status, corrections, work coverage, error and
+recovery totals, input/output paths, and full work-unit error and recovery
+matrices. Rows show every initial chunk with 1-based chunk number and initial
+segment range; columns follow configured module-instance order, including
+repeats. Completed error cells are `0` or `1`; recovery cells are operation
+counts. `—` means not started and `n*` means interrupted with n facts recorded.
+An empty stage or chunk set is identified as having no work units. Short reason breakdowns count
+records containing each reason; a recovery can have several reasons, so those
+counts need not sum to the recovery total. The report refers to both YAML
+files. It does not include transcript excerpts or correction lists.
 
-The remaining top-level fields are:
+## Debug-Only Files
 
-| Field | Type and meaning |

-| `status` | String: `success` or `failed` |
-| `operation` | String; currently `process` |
-| `transcript_path`, `glossary_path` | Input path strings |
-| `output_path` | Optional transcript destination string |
-| `modules` | Array of configured module keys, including repeats |
-| `started_at`, `completed_at` | RFC 3339 timestamps, possibly fractional; completion is an optional field populated by completed process runs |

-Failures can preserve partial module results. Missing summaries indicate unavailable
-information, not necessarily zero work. Early configuration failures occur before
-report construction. Report success describes processing results; a later file-write
-or cleanup error can still cause a nonzero CLI exit. Use the exit result and report
-together as explained in [subprocess guidance](subprocess.md).
-
-Error phases identify where processing failed, for example `transcript_read`,
-`glossary_read`, `transcript_schema`, `glossary_schema`, `chunking`, `runner_setup`,
-`runner_execution`, `output_schema`, `serialization`, `output_write`, and
-`stdout_write`. This is not an exhaustive enumeration or a promise that every
-late failure is represented in a successfully written report. Error messages are
-human-readable, not structured fields to parse for control flow.
-
-### Chunking and Diagnostics Metadata
-
-`chunking` contains integer fields `chunk_count`, `min_estimated_chunk_tokens`,
-`max_estimated_chunk_tokens`, `total_estimated_transcript_tokens`,
-`max_section_tokens`, and `min_section_tokens`, plus optional integer
-`target_sections`. Token counts are estimates.
-
-`diagnostics` contains optional path strings:
-
-- `directory_path`
-- `source_transcript_path`, `parsed_source_transcript_path`, `normalized_transcript_path`
-- `normalization_summary_path`, `chunking_summary_path`
-- `utilization_summary_path`, `correction_ledger_path`
-- `invocation_metadata_path`, `redacted_effective_config_path`, `error_log_path`
-
-The [operations guide](../operations.md#diagnostics-directory) defines the physical
-artifacts and path-lifetime caveats.
-
-### Module Outcomes
-
-`modules_summary` contains integer `module_count`, `total_applied_changes`, and
-`total_skipped_changes`, plus optional string `failed_module_instance`.
-`total_skipped_changes` counts both apply-time skipped changes and validator
-rejections. Their detailed records are stored in separate arrays.
-
-Each `module_results` object contains:
-
-| Field | Type and meaning |
-| --- | --- |
-| `module_key`, `module_instance` | Strings; the instance distinguishes repeated occurrences of a configured module |
-| `replacement_policy` | Optional string describing the module's replacement policy |
-| `status` | String describing module outcome (`success` or `failed`) |
-| `proposal_count` | Integer |
-| `started_at`, `completed_at` | Optional timestamps |
-| `error_message` | Optional failure detail |
-| `warnings` | Optional array of warning records |
-| `validator_decisions` | Optional array of decision records |
-| `validator_rejected` | Optional array of rejected-correction records |
-| `applied_changes`, `skipped_changes` | Optional arrays of apply outcomes |
-
-A validator decision has `validator_name` (string), `proposal_index` (integer),
-`approved` (boolean), `reason_code` and `message` (strings), and optional
-`diagnostic_artifact_path` (string).
-
-Rejected corrections include `validator_name`, `proposal_index`, `module_key`,
-`module_instance`, `target_segment_id`, `original_text`, `corrected_text`,
-`reason_code`, and `message`. Applied changes include the same correction identity
-and text fields without validator/reason/message fields, plus integer
-`replacement_count`. Skipped changes include correction identity/text fields,
-`skip_reason`, and `message`.
-
-A warning has string `scope`, `reason_code`, and `message`; optional integer
-`section_index` and `batch_index`; and optional string `validator_name` and
-`diagnostic_artifact_path`. Warnings, skipped changes, and rejected corrections
-can occur without a failed run. Proposal indexes associate outcomes with their
-proposal within a module instance; they are not transcript segment IDs.
-
-## Correction Ledger
-
-The ledger is an array of correction entries; it can be `null` when no module
-results are available and empty when modules produced no entries. Unlike the
-process report, it has no separate schema-version envelope.
-
-Each entry has required `module_key`, `module_instance`, integer `proposal_index`,
-and `disposition`. The current dispositions are:
-
-| Disposition | Meaning |
-| --- | --- |
-| `applied` | The proposed change was applied |
-| `skipped` | The proposal reached application but was skipped |
-| `rejected` | A validator rejected the proposal |
-| `failed` | Module-level failure record, not necessarily an individual proposal |
-
-Optional fields are `run_id`, integer `segment_id`, `original_text`,
-`proposed_corrected_text`, `applied_corrected_text`, `replacement_policy`,
-`disposition_reason_code`, and `disposition_message`. Optional validator arrays
-are `deterministic_validator_decisions` and `llm_validator_decisions`; each record
-contains string `validator_key`, boolean `approved`, string `reason_code`, and
-optional string `message`.
-
-Module failure entries can have the zero-value proposal index and no correction
-text or segment. Do not interpret them as evidence that proposal zero failed.
-Empty optional values are omitted. The ledger records disposition, not a replay
-or resume protocol.
-
-## Utilization Diagnostics
-
-This unversioned JSON object describes observations from the runtime, not service
-limits or performance guarantees:
-
-- `effective_concurrency`: integer `total_llm`, `proposal_llm`, `validation_llm`.
-- `run_timing`: millisecond integers `run_wall_time_ms`, `scheduler_queue_wait_ms`,
-  `llm_execution_time_ms`, `deterministic_validation_time_ms`; integer
-  `max_in_flight_llm_calls` and `average_in_flight_llm_calls`.
-- `llm_calls`: integer `total_proposal_calls` and `total_validation_calls`.
-- Optional `modules`: records with `module_key`, `module_instance`, integer
-  `proposal_llm_calls` and `validation_llm_calls`, and millisecond integer
-  `scheduler_queue_wait_ms`, `llm_execution_time_ms`,
-  `deterministic_validation_time_ms`, and `module_wall_time_ms`.
-- Optional `validators`: records with `module_key`, `module_instance`,
-  `validator_key`, boolean `llm_backed`, integer `calls`, and millisecond integer
-  `elapsed_ms`.
-
-Aggregated execution/wait durations can overlap in concurrent work; they need
-not sum to wall time. The observed average concurrency is serialized as an integer.
-Other source snapshots, prompt payloads, and diagnostic files are debugging
-material; their placement is documented in operations without defining a separate
-public schema for every file.
+With `--debug`, `correction-ledger.json` contains proposed candidates and
+their application, rejection, or interruption details. `llm-execution.json`
+holds logical calls and PromptKit execution events; `utilization-diagnostics.json`
+groups backend capacity and timing observations while preserving known and
+complete usage semantics. Interaction request/response artifacts, selected
+profiles, configuration provenance, and input snapshots are also debug-only.
+These files are diagnostic evidence, not an alternate ordinary report schema.
+Each candidate-backed ledger entry includes `proposed_corrected_text`, the
+literal replacement span, even when it is `""` for a deletion. Applied entries
+also include `applied_corrected_text`, likewise `""` for an applied deletion.
+Rejected, unavailable, skipped, and interrupted entries omit the applied field; a module
+failure without a candidate omits both. These fields are replacement spans,
+not full resulting-segment text. Deterministic decision records now identify
+the blank-result guard as `non_empty_resulting_segment` (formerly
+`non_empty_corrected_text`); its `empty_resulting_segment` reason is unchanged.
+Validator decision records carry `disposition`: `approved`, `rejected`, or
+`unavailable`. A missing or duplicate required decision is `unavailable`, not
+an editorial rejection. The candidate ledger uses the same distinction in its
+top-level disposition. Interaction response artifacts retain supplied model
+decisions and the reconciliation result, including unavailable and ignored
+indices; unexpected indices never create candidate ledger entries.

-that a file was written. The CLI distinguishes primary processing errors from
-secondary diagnostic/report write errors.
-
-## Process Report Mapping
-
-`internal/framework/processreport.Build` maps invocation facts, normalization and
-chunking summaries, and runner output into `reporting.ProcessReport`. Core reporting
-owns the Go data structures and JSON writer. The builder attaches diagnostic
-metadata when a run-directory path is available.
-
-Module mapping copies outcomes from runner results, collects summary counts, and
-preserves available partial module results on failure. The CLI failure path does
-not pass normalization or chunking summaries to report construction even when
-some earlier processing completed. Consumer interpretation belongs to the
-[process-report contract](../integrations/output-files.md#process-report).
-
-## Correction Ledger and Utilization
-
-`BuildCorrectionLedger` flattens module changes, rejections, and failures into
-ledger entries. It associates validator records by proposal index within each
-module, separates execution classes through validator metadata, and sorts entries
-by module instance, proposal index, and disposition.
-
-Runner instrumentation collects utilization; CLI orchestration writes it when
-run output is available. Report assembly does not independently measure calls.
-For the serialized forms see [ledger](../integrations/output-files.md#correction-ledger)
-and [utilization](../integrations/output-files.md#utilization-diagnostics).
-
-## CLI Coordination and Retention
-
-CLI orchestration writes caller-selected reports and run-local artifacts before
-asking diagnostics to apply retention. `HasSkippedCorrections` derives the
-retention input from runner outcomes. Keep the exact lifecycle definition in
-[operations](../operations.md#retention-behavior), not in another internal table.
-
-On a processing failure, secondary report-write errors do not replace the original
-error. On the success path, an external report-write failure returns before the
-run-local report write; retention errors occur later. This ordering explains why
-artifacts and process exit status must be assessed together.
-
-## Redaction
-
-Effective configuration uses config redaction. LLM diagnostic and error paths
-use `llm.ConfiguredSecrets` and the runtime's redaction helpers. Keep these separate
-mechanisms aligned with the [architecture requirement](../policy/architecture.md#errors-and-secret-handling).
-Operational handling of transcript-bearing artifacts belongs to
-[operations](../operations.md#artifact-handling).
+Debug is independent. Only `diagnostics.debug` creates a unique retained child
+under `diagnostics.work_dir`. CLI passes empty diagnostics paths and nil writers
+when debug is off. With debug on, source/normalized snapshots, invocation,
+effective settings, origins, profiles, initial chunk summary, correction ledger,
+indexed execution/utilization, and model interactions are written. Runner
+candidate capture includes proposals later rejected or interrupted. Ledger
+mapping uses optional string pointers so an empty proposed replacement is
+serialized for every candidate and an empty applied replacement appears only
+when that candidate applied; see the [public artifact contract](../integrations/output-files.md#debug-only-files).
+Debug write failures reach the CLI through an explicit concurrency-safe diagnostic
+callback and produce redacted stderr messages without aborting processing.
+Completed validator decisions returned with a fatal batch error remain available
+to the debug ledger; they never authorize applying an incompletely validated edit.
+Runner decision records carry the validator's explicit approved, rejected, or
+unavailable disposition into the ledger. Unavailable candidates have a distinct
+top-level ledger disposition, while fatal interruptions remain interrupted when
+no rejection or unavailable decision was returned. Successful validation
+interaction payloads contain the full decoded response, final content, and
+reconciliation outcomes; ignored indices do not become ledger candidates.
+Every debug writer uses all configured backend secrets for redaction, including
+unselected backend credentials and source snapshots. Debug can still contain
+sensitive transcript and prompt content.

 # Audita LLM Runtime
 
-## Scope
-
-This document describes the structured LLM runtime and scheduler behavior.
-
 ## Client Boundary
 
-All runtime LLM calls go through `contracts.StructuredLLMClient`.
+`llm.NewRuntime` assembles one PromptKit engine for both roles. PromptKit's
+catalogs and defaults are followed by Audita's embedded prompt and schema
+inputs, operator documents from `profiles_dir`, and the highest-priority
+application backend mapping. Audita owns backend endpoints, capacity settings,
+and resolved credentials; native PromptKit layering owns profile inheritance,
+prompt overrides, and provider-specific fields. Imports are disabled. The
+runtime inspects both selected roles offline, requiring complete model and
+endpoint values and rejecting competing profile credential lookups. A
+role-bound `llm.RoleClient` implements `structuredoutput.Client`; proposal and
+validator contracts alias that interface. Both roles share engine-local backend
+capacity.
 
-Primary adapter:
-- `internal/framework/llm/OpenAICompatibleClient`
+Successful construction captures the final definitions and referenced message
+contents. The runtime does not reload operator documents or message files during
+calls. If final engine construction fails, an embedded-only diagnostic
+construction distinguishes shipped asset failures from invalid operator input.
+An asset failure remains an asset error; when embedded construction succeeds,
+the original failure remains a configuration error. The diagnostic engine
+never replaces or executes the requested configuration, and caller cancellation
+skips this path. The captured inspection also supplies an internal source
+ledger: all loaded host YAML plus effective, source-relative host
+`content_file` resources are tracked for output-collision checks.
 
-## Adapter and Response Schema Registry
+For each logical call, the adapter starts an operation context and a diagnostic
+record before preparation. It supplies the reserved hardening text, the selected
+profile and resolved backend credential, and the complete embedded schema/repair
+contract. `PrepareExecution` produces the exact messages and hashes retained in
+an Audita snapshot. The adapter checks the prepared backend and endpoint before
+`RunPrepared`. It records available final content, usage, model, and profile
+metadata and decodes only a validated result. Call hooks expose logical
+start/finish records and PromptKit execution events for debug utilization.
 
-The adapter implements the [LLM wire contract](../integrations/openai-compatible-llm.md).
-It maps internal structured requests to HTTP messages and decodes provider content
-into the supplied Go output target. Endpoint, authentication, response shapes, and
-retry conditions are defined in that contract rather than repeated here.
+The [integration contract](../integrations/openai-compatible-llm.md) describes
+wire ownership and failure behavior. `structuredoutput.Failure` has a safe
+message, fixed reason code, typed cause, and recoverable/fatal/canceled class.
+Counts distinguish provider attempts, transient retries, and structural
+repairs, including on errors. Secrets from all configured backends, including unselected
+ones, are available to the diagnostics redaction boundary.
 
-`internal/framework/responseschema` stores the per-call response schema definitions
-and diagnostic metadata. Proposal generation and validation choose their schema
-before invoking the client. Provider strict mode does not replace local checks.
+CLI explain output and debug configuration origins share a value-free projection
+of effective field origins. The [CLI contract](../cli.md) defines its optional
+inheritance evidence fields.
 
-## Error Classification
+## Orchestration
 
-The adapter marks retryable errors internally and uses context state and attempt
-count to decide whether to retry. It sanitizes errors before returning them.
-`internal/framework/structuredoutput` classifies malformed output for proposal
-and validator call sites, which can turn those errors into warnings and rejected
-section/batch work. Other errors propagate through the runner.
-
-## Scheduling and Concurrency
-
-`internal/framework/llm/Scheduler` provides FIFO, context-aware permit gating.
-
-CLI orchestration composes global and stage schedulers; runner instrumentation
-measures them. Limit definitions and inheritance belong to
-[configuration](../config.md#concurrency).
-
-Scheduler release is guarded to avoid permit leaks on cancellation/error. Runner
-collects utilization observations; their serialized shape is defined by the
-[output-file contract](../integrations/output-files.md#utilization-diagnostics).
-
-## Diagnostics and Redaction
-
-`internal/framework/llm/DiagnosticsWriter` writes request/response/error artifacts.
-
-Configured secrets are derived from `llm.ConfiguredSecrets(cfg)` and redacted from:
-- diagnostics payloads;
-- surfaced runtime/adapter errors.
-
-## Changing LLM Integration or Scheduling
-
-Review client, scheduler, redaction, and structured-output malformed-response
-coverage alongside runner orchestration and utilization tests. Use the
-[testing policy](../policy/testing.md) to select sufficient checks; preserve the
-[LLM integration contract](../integrations/openai-compatible-llm.md) and
-[architecture invariants](../policy/architecture.md#correction-and-concurrency-invariants).

+CLI processing supplies two role clients from the same engine to the runner.
+PromptKit's per-backend admission applies to both roles and every generation,
+retry, and repair. The runner still processes module instances in order,
+collects concurrent section work deterministically, and cancels remaining
+section work only on fatal failures. `llm.DiagnosticsWriter` remains the protected
+request/response artifact writer. `llm.ObservationCollector` captures metadata
+events under a short mutex and freezes them after runner work joins. Its logical
+records include preparation failures; summary usage comes from terminal events
+once per call and retains knownness and completeness for each field. Runner wall
+and validator timings remain separate from provider attempts. Ordinary reports
+derive compact runner outcomes; full observations are debug-only.

+1. CLI filesystem adapters read transcript and glossary files. Schema parsing
+   produces source objects; transcript segments enter canonical normalization.
+2. Normalization sorts and merges segments using configured time and token

+3. The runner partitions the normalized transcript exactly once before its
+   module loop. Initial section identity, segment membership, and token
+   estimates stay fixed while text evolves.
+4. Module instances execute in configured order. Sections may propose
+   concurrently, but proposal indices follow section order and response order.
+5. Deterministic validators precede LLM-backed validators. Every submitted
+   candidate receives one decision per validator on a normal return. Fatal returns
+   may preserve a checked subset of completed decisions as diagnostic evidence.
+   Recoverable failed batches mark their candidates unavailable; successful
+   survivors continue through all required validators.
+6. Only fully approved proposals reach application. Corrections apply in
+   proposal-index order within their owning section. Existing replacement
+   policies and apply-time safety checks resolve stale conflicts.
+7. CLI encodes the final transcript and publishes active files through the
+   output session. `framework/processreport` builds one snapshot for YAML,
+   Markdown, and CLI totals. Debug evidence is captured separately when enabled.
 
-## Inputs
+`runner.Run` returns the final working transcript, initial section inventory,
+explicit `not_started`/`interrupted`/`completed` work units, compact model
+operation outcomes, and per-module results. Candidate payloads are retained
+in the returned output only when debug capture is requested. A work unit can
+complete with model errors and applied corrections. Recoverable model failures
+never trigger shared cancellation. Fatal setup, internal, application, or
+parent-cancellation errors cancel peers, join workers, and preserve earlier
+committed module text for partial reports; no completed transcript is published.
 
-Pipeline inputs are:
-- effective config (`internal/core/config`);
-- transcript JSON (`internal/core/schema`);
-- glossary YAML (`internal/core/schema`).
+Required transcript/report write failures are fatal. Optional debug writes
+report safely to stderr without changing decisions or exit status. See
+[operations](../operations.md) for file placement and failure handling, and
+[architecture policy](../policy/architecture.md#correction-and-concurrency-invariants)
+for invariants.
 
-## Pipeline Phases
-
-1. **Input loading:** CLI filesystem adapters read inputs; schema parsing produces
-   source transcript and glossary objects. Source segments are converted to the
-   canonical transcript shape before normalization.
-2. **Normalization:** the normalizer sorts and merges segments using its configured
-   time/token rules, reassigns IDs, and produces summary counters.
-3. **Chunking:** the chunker partitions the normalized transcript and returns
-   sections and token estimates, or fails when constraints are impossible.
-4. **Proposal generation:** the runner executes configured module instances in
-   sequence. Sections can generate proposals concurrently; results are collected
-   for deterministic indexing.
-5. **Validation:** deterministic validators run before LLM-backed validators.
-   LLM validation is batched by prompt budget; candidate decisions feed application.
-6. **Application:** `internal/framework/proposals` clones transcript state and
-   applies approved proposals in index order through replacement-policy checks.
-7. **Serialization and reporting:** the CLI encodes the final transcript, maps
-   runner output into reports, writes artifacts, and delegates retention to
-   diagnostics. See [report assembly](diagnostics-reporting.md).
-
-## Runner Outputs
-
-`runner.Run` returns:
-- final transcript;
-- per-module results;
-- utilization diagnostics.
-
-CLI/reporting then map this into process report and diagnostics artifacts.
-
-## Failure Behavior
-
-CLI orchestration labels failures at the phase boundary. Runner execution failures
-can return completed or partial module results, which report assembly preserves.
-[Report fields](../integrations/output-files.md#process-report) define how consumers
-see these outcomes; [CLI semantics](../cli.md#process-output-and-exit-behavior)
-define streams and exits. Diagnostic write failures do not always abort processing.
-
-## Ordering and State
-
-The runner mutates its working transcript between module instances, after collecting
-section results and validating proposals. Proposal indexes follow section order;
-reports are derived from actual run results. Global requirements are owned by the
-[architecture policy](../policy/architecture.md#correction-and-concurrency-invariants).

 # Audita Prompt Registry

+- `validators.meaning_reversal_review` (`v1`)
+- `validators.editorial_review` (`v1`)
 
-## Registry Ownership
+PromptKit reads the embedded definitions as shipped defaults and renders their
+messages from named string variables. Operator documents in `profiles_dir` may
+contribute native keyed prompt definitions and override an embedded
+prompt/version, including its messages and definition-level output settings.
+The effective operator text is captured when the runtime is constructed; the
+embedded assets remain the source of Audita's shipped task instructions. The
+role-bound adapter supplies
+`HardeningPolicy` alongside `ProposalContract` and `ValidationContract` from
+embedded fragments under `assets/shared`, after caller variables so callers
+cannot replace those instructions. Common literal-span and identity guidance
+lives in the proposal fragment; shared candidate-reference, context, and
+confidence guidance lives in the validation fragment. Module-specific policies
+and examples remain in YAML. Proposal prompts receive the section JSON, glossary
+JSON where used, and transcript description block. Validator prompts receive
+the correction payload and description block.
+The embedded prompt assets retain the shipped task instructions and
+output-schema association. An operator override controls which template
+variables its messages reference: supplying a shared variable does not append
+its text when the effective message omits that reference. The role-bound runtime
+supplies the complete JSON Schema output contract and repair count; the
+definition does not own an operator-facing repair default.
+The correction-set schema requires a string replacement and accepts an empty
+string. Proposal guidance uses it for eligible span deletion and permits literal
+spacing edits; validator guidance evaluates the full before/after segment under
+each validator's existing remit. A blank resulting segment remains a domain
+rejection, not a structural schema error.
 
-Prompt registry lives in `internal/prompts` and embeds assets under `internal/prompts/assets/**`.
+`internal/framework/responseschema` remains the only embedded source for
+`correction_set.v1.json` and `validator_decision_set.v1.json`. It exposes that
+filesystem to PromptKit and retains Audita's schema-key lookup. PromptKit's
+prepared execution supplies definition and rendered hashes; Audita does not
+recompute or promise equality with hashes from the removed template renderer.
+The small Audita registry records only prompt ID, version, source, and embedded
+path. Prepared runtime metadata belongs in diagnostics rather than the registry.
 
-Registered prompt IDs:
-- `modules.glossary.proposal`
-- `modules.homophones.proposal`
-- `modules.spoken_word.proposal`
-- `modules.grammar.proposal`
-- `validators.spoken_form_plausibility`
-- `validators.meaning_reversal_review`
-- `validators.editorial_review`
-- `validators.grammar_review`
-- `validators.spoken_word_review`
+The structured-call contract carries prompt ID/version, string variables,
+response-schema key, and logical-call attribution. Module and validator callers
+pass these values through the role-bound adapter. See the
+[LLM runtime](llm-runtime.md) for runtime assembly and
+[configuration](../config.md) for operator-selected profiles.
 
-## Metadata Model
+Proposal instructions describe literal matching, each module's replacement policy,
+source-based proposal identity, and confidence in whether an edit is warranted.
+Proposal `id` and validator `correction_index` values are short, one-based
+references scoped to each request, not internal transcript/proposal identities.
+Mapping belongs to [proposal generation](modules.md) and
+[validator reconciliation](validators.md). Validator instructions distinguish
+confidence in the verdict from the verdict itself. Compact output examples
+illustrate the supplied schema without requiring fixed JSON formatting or key
+order. The grammar article exception and glossary mishearing exception apply
+consistently across their instructions.

+Oversized single inputs are rejected with a consolidated

+model failures make only their batch candidates unavailable while other
+batches continue. PromptKit validates each complete response against the
+validator-decision JSON Schema and performs configured structural repair before
+Audita receives decoded decisions. Each actual batch presents candidates
+numbered from 1, independent of their internal proposal indices. Audita then
+reconciles those local references: one usable entry keeps its
+approval or editorial rejection; a missing or duplicate requested entry makes
+only that candidate unavailable; unexpected indices are ignored. An empty list
+makes all requested candidates unavailable. Decisions and unavailable indices
+map back to internal proposal identities; results are ordered by request identity
+and satisfy strict internal cardinality before the runner advances
+approved candidates. An unavailable candidate never advances as approved.
+Invalid confidence in a decoded test double also makes only its candidate
+unavailable; production schema validation still rejects out-of-range confidence
+before reconciliation. A partially unavailable batch records one failed
+operation with only those requested indices, while a successful batch with
+ignored extras records a decision-filtering recovery. Fatal errors stop the
+chain without returning unchecked candidates as approved. A local result builder
+retains already-collected decisions and operations on early returns; full
+cardinality checks and final sorting remain explicit on completed paths.
+Reconciliation makes no semantic retry or extra model call; guided recovery remains

+## Supplemental Validation Context
+
+Request construction prepares one segment-position lookup and protected vocabulary
+for all candidates. Glossary selection remains candidate-specific, including the
+proposed replacement text.
+
+Each candidate includes the immediately preceding and following source segments
+available within its fixed chunk, labeled `preceding` or `following` with speaker,
+text, and categories, plus glossary entries whose names, aliases, or
+recognized plurals appear in its original/resulting text or those neighbors.
+Glossary matching reuses the protected vocabulary; entries retain glossary order.
+Model-facing candidate and neighboring context omit internal segment IDs.
+This supplies evidence such as a troupe definition for a proposed `Jesters`
+correction or an adjacent speaker turn explaining deliberate repetition. A correction
+already clear from its own segment does not require such evidence. No audio,
+out-of-chunk context, or complete transcript is implied.
+
+Context is serialized inside the validation item and included in the existing
+payload token estimate. If one enriched item exceeds the configured limit, optional
+neighbors are removed from the end first, then glossary entries from the end,
+until it fits or only required candidate data remains. Required before/after text
+is never truncated. Existing oversized-candidate handling still applies if that
+required data does not fit. Context is supplemental, not a promise that every
+relevant definition or neighboring utterance always fits. This uses the existing
+payload estimator, not a new guarantee about the provider's full context window.
+
+## Protected-Name Repetition
+
+Spoken-word cleanup may reduce repeated protected-name occurrences when every
+original protected identity still appears in the resulting segment and surviving
+spellings satisfy existing capitalization checks. Full-segment preview supports
+both a replacement of the repeated phrase and deletion of a redundant span. This
+exception only relaxes the deterministic count guard; editorial and meaning-reversal
+validation still decide whether the repetition was accidental and the edit preserves
+meaning. Intentional emphasis and substantive references remain protected by those
+reviews. Other modules retain their existing protection rules.

+# Migrating to Audita v2
+
+Audita v2 adopts ConfigKit for configuration and PromptKit for LLM execution.
+Version-1 configuration files, environment overlays, and retired flags are not
+accepted. Copy a maintained [local](../../examples/minimal-config.yml) or
+[service](../../examples/production-config.yml) example, then select real models
+in the accompanying `examples/profiles/` files. A testing overlay is shown at
+`examples/overlays/testing.yml`; its model choice carries no cost, speed, or
+quality guarantee.
+
+## Configuration and invocation
+
+Use `version: 2` in a YAML main file. `--config` selects that file; otherwise
+`process` and `config print-effective` look at
+`/usr/local/etc/audita/config.yml`, then `/etc/audita/config.yml`.
+`config validate` requires `--config`. `AUDITA_CONFIG` no longer selects a file.
+Settings resolve from defaults, main file, optional `--overlay <name>` in
+`overlays/<name>.yml`, then explicitly supplied setting flags. General `AUDITA_*`
+environment overlays no longer apply. Unknown fields and version-1 files fail;
+there is no automatic converter.
+
+Keep transcript as the positional path and `--glossary` and `--output` as
+invocation paths. The former `--report-json` output has been replaced by the
+default `errors.yml`, `recoveries.yml`, and `report.md` bundle; use
+`--reporting=false` to disable it or `--report-dir` for stdout output. Keep
+`pipeline.modules` / `--modules` and
+`output.schema` / `--output-schema`. An explicit `pipeline.modules: []` or
+`--modules ''` runs no correction modules; omission uses the default sequence.
+Ordered repetitions still matter.
+
+Move `llm.proposal.base_url` and `llm.validation.base_url` to a shared
+`backends.<id>.endpoint` when both roles use one service. Move old role models to
+PromptKit profile files and select them with `llm.proposal_profile` and
+`llm.validation_profile`, or `--proposal-profile` and
+`--validation-profile`. Omitted validation selection inherits the final proposal
+selection; explicit empty or null is invalid. `profiles_dir` defaults to
+`profiles` beside the main config. Complete profiles name a registered backend
+and model. Per-role `--base-url`, `--validation-base-url`, `--model`, and
+`--validation-model` are retired.
+
+Move old `llm.*.api_key_env` to `backends.<id>.credential`, a scalar name of a
+nonempty environment variable, such as `credential: AUDITA_SERVICE_KEY`.
+Credentials on every surviving backend must resolve, including unselected
+backends. Omit or set null for an unauthenticated local backend. Profiles cannot
+perform another key lookup. `--llm-api-key` and `--validation-llm-api-key` are
+retired. `AUDITA_LLM_API_KEY`, `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`, and
+`AUDITA_VALIDATION_LLM_API_KEY` have no implicit meaning, though any of those
+names can be used explicitly as a credential reference.
+
+Replace `concurrency.total_llm`, `.proposal_llm`, and `.validation_llm` plus
+`--total-llm-concurrency`, `--llm-concurrency`,
+`--proposal-llm-concurrency`, and `--validation-llm-concurrency` with
+`backends.<id>.concurrency` (default 1) and optional `queue_capacity` (default
+1024; zero means no waiting admission). One backend capacity is shared by both
+roles and all retry/repair attempts within this Audita process. It does not
+coordinate other processes.
+
+Move old role `timeout` values and `--llm-timeout-seconds` /
+`--validation-llm-timeout-seconds` to profile `timeout_seconds`, a per-attempt
+limit, and `llm.operation_timeout`, a Go duration such as `15m` covering the
+whole logical call. Replace old `max_retries` and `--max-retries` /
+`--validation-max-retries` with common `llm.transient_retries` (additional
+eligible attempts per generation) and `llm.repair_attempts` (additional
+generations for structurally invalid JSON). Explicit zero disables either
+feature. Cancellation and the operation deadline cover capacity waiting,
+backoff, generation, and repairs. PromptKit owns which failures can retry or
+repair; Audita does not retry semantic rejections.
+
+The following domain settings and explicit flags retain their meaning:
+
+| File field | Explicit flag |
+| --- | --- |
+| `validation.max_prompt_tokens` | `--validation-max-prompt-tokens` |
+| `chunking.target_sections` | `--target-sections` |
+| `chunking.max_section_tokens`, `.min_section_tokens` | `--max-section-tokens`, `--min-section-tokens` |
+| `normalization.max_segment_gap`, `.ellipsis_gap`, `.max_segment_duration`, `.max_segment_tokens` | `--normalize-max-segment-gap`, `--normalize-ellipsis-gap`, `--normalize-max-segment-duration`, `--normalize-max-segment-tokens` |
+| `thresholds.glossary`, `.homophones`, `.spoken_word`, `.grammar` | `--glossary-confidence-threshold`, `--homophones-confidence-threshold`, `--spoken-word-confidence-threshold`, `--grammar-confidence-threshold` |
+| `context.description` | `--transcript-description` |
+| `reporting.enabled`, `.stdout_dir` | `--reporting[=true\|false]`, `--report-dir` |
+| `diagnostics.debug`, `.work_dir` | `--debug[=true\|false]`, `--work-dir` |
+
+Normalization gaps and durations are **numeric seconds**, so replace `4s`,
+`3.5s`, and `60s` with `4.0`, `3.5`, and `60.0`. The operation timeout remains a
+Go duration string. `chunking.target_sections` may be omitted or null for
+automatic chunking; zero is invalid. Null is not a general synonym for omission:
+nonoptional scalar settings reject it. Empty `context.description` clears
+context. Legacy `diagnostics.retention` and `--work-dir-retention` are removed.
+Debug is off by default and its directory is retained whenever enabled.
+
+Remove old implicit variables `AUDITA_MODULES`, `AUDITA_MODEL`,
+`AUDITA_VALIDATION_MODEL`, `AUDITA_BASE_URL`, `AUDITA_VALIDATION_BASE_URL`,
+`AUDITA_LLM_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`, `AUDITA_VALIDATION_LLM_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`,
+`AUDITA_MAX_RETRIES`, `AUDITA_VALIDATION_MAX_RETRIES`,
+`AUDITA_TOTAL_LLM_CONCURRENCY`, `AUDITA_LLM_CONCURRENCY`,

+`AUDITA_SPOKEN_WORD_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD`,
+`AUDITA_GRAMMAR_CONFIDENCE_THRESHOLD`, `AUDITA_WORK_DIR`, and
+`AUDITA_WORK_DIR_RETENTION`. Put those values in the named fields above or pass
+their surviving explicit flags.
+
+## Inspecting and operating
+
+Run `audita config validate --config <file>` before processing. Use
+`audita config print-effective --config <file> --view settings|profiles|explain`
+to inspect redacted ConfigKit YAML, selected PromptKit profile controls, or
+field origins and derivations. Each view resolves both roles offline without
+calling a provider. `--overlay testing` selects the same overlay for validation,
+inspection, and processing. The old effective-config JSON format is replaced by
+YAML; settings YAML alone does not show profile-owned model controls.
+
+The [ordinary output contract](../integrations/output-files.md) now uses
+version-1 `audita-errors` and `audita-recoveries` YAML documents plus a fixed
+Markdown overview. Compact outcomes distinguish logical operations from
+provider attempts. With debug enabled, utilization remains grouped by backend
+capacity and usage fields retain known/complete flags. Debug runs write
+`effective-config.redacted.yaml`, `selected-profiles.yaml`,
+`config-origins.yaml`, `utilization-diagnostics.json`, and
+`llm-execution.json`. Request and response artifacts remain redacted debugging
+material. See [operations](../operations.md#diagnostics-directory) for placement
+and paths, [configuration](../config.md) for all settings, and the
+[CLI reference](../cli.md) for current flags.
+
+Debug ledger consumers should recognize the deterministic validator key
+`non_empty_resulting_segment` in place of `non_empty_corrected_text`. The
+`empty_resulting_segment` reason is unchanged. Candidate-backed ledger entries
+now include `proposed_corrected_text: ""` for an empty replacement, and applied
+deletions also include `applied_corrected_text: ""`; omitted fields still mean
+there was no candidate or no applied edit, respectively. See the
+[debug artifact contract](../integrations/output-files.md#debug-only-files).

 # Audita Operations
 
-This document owns runtime workflow, physical artifact placement, retention, and
-recovery. Use the [CLI reference](cli.md) for invocation and stream/exit semantics,
-[configuration](config.md) for settings, and [output-file contracts](integrations/output-files.md)
-for logical formats.
+This guide owns physical output placement and failure handling. The
+[CLI reference](cli.md) owns flags and streams, [configuration](config.md) owns
+settings, and the [output contract](integrations/output-files.md) owns schemas.
 
 ## Normal Workflow
 
-1. Choose a configuration and validate it using the
-   [configuration commands](cli.md#configuration-commands).
-2. Prepare input files conforming to the [input contract](integrations/transcript-glossary-files.md).
-3. Run the [processing command](cli.md#process-examples), choosing explicit output
-   and report destinations when those files must survive run-directory cleanup.
-4. Inspect the corrected transcript and process report. Review rejected or skipped
-   corrections when the report indicates them; successful execution does not mean
-   every proposed correction was applied.
+1. Validate a version-2 configuration and its selected profiles with
+   `audita config validate --config config.yml`.
+2. Prepare a transcript and glossary following the [input contract](integrations/transcript-glossary-files.md).
+3. Run `audita process input.json --config config.yml --glossary glossary.yaml --output corrected.json`.
+4. Check the exit status, stderr summary, corrected transcript, and reports.
+   A completed run can contain recoverable model errors and still apply
+   corrections that passed every required validator.
 
-Processing creates a run directory, loads and normalizes the inputs, chunks the
-transcript, executes the correction pipeline, writes results, and applies
-retention. Early configuration failures happen before run-directory creation.
-Failures after initialization attempt to preserve diagnostic evidence; individual
-artifact writes can fail, so a run directory need not contain every listed file.
+## Required Output Files
 
-## Output Files
+Reporting is enabled by default. For file transcript output, `errors.yml`,
+`recoveries.yml`, and `report.md` go in the transcript output's parent directory
+unless `--report-dir` is explicitly supplied. For stdout transcript output, they
+go in the effective `reporting.stdout_dir` (default `.`), including a
+`--report-dir` override. A config-file or overlay value for
+`reporting.stdout_dir` alone does not redirect file-output reports. An active
+selected report directory must be nonblank. `--reporting=false` suppresses all
+three reports and leaves their destination inactive, so it is not probed merely
+because `--report-dir` was supplied. It does not suppress the stderr summary or
+fatal errors. Stdout contains only transcript JSON; file output leaves it empty.
 
-The caller chooses transcript and optional external report destinations using the
-[CLI](cli.md#process-output-and-exit-behavior). These are separate from the per-run
-diagnostic directory unless the caller deliberately places them inside it.
-Choose existing, writable parent directories. Output/report files can be overwritten
-by subsequent runs using the same destinations.
+Existing report directories and parents for regular transcript files must be
+writable. Audita prevents report writes from overwriting transcript, glossary,
+loaded application configuration, host YAML discovered under `profiles_dir`,
+or host message files referenced by effective PromptKit `content_file` fields,
+and rejects conflicting output destinations. Source paths come from the
+runtime's captured configuration; unrelated files in the selected directory
+remain eligible output destinations. The final transcript may intentionally
+replace its own input after successful processing; other input/configuration/
+profile sources remain protected.
+Preparation never truncates an existing transcript. Device and pipe destinations
+(such as `/dev/null` and named pipes) receive ordinary writes at publication time;
+they are not opened during preflight or replaced with regular files. A pipe write
+can wait for its reader, and stream write errors are fatal. With reporting enabled,
+reports still use the output path's parent unless an explicit `--report-dir`
+selects another directory; disable reporting when that placement is unsuitable
+for a stream destination.
 
-A later report or cleanup failure can occur after transcript output was written.
-Inspect the process result and available report before treating the files as a
-completed run. Retention of the diagnostic directory does not archive caller-selected
-output files elsewhere.
+With reporting enabled, all three reports are initialized as `in_progress` before
+input processing. Output is encoded fully before publication. Each regular output
+file is replaced through a temporary file on its destination filesystem:
+transcript first, then `errors.yml`,
+`recoveries.yml`, and `report.md`. This is per-file replacement, not a
+multi-file transaction. New files honor the process umask; replacing an existing
+file preserves its permission bits. A late report error may leave the transcript
+published; the process exits nonzero and attempts failed-status reports. On fatal processing
+or cancellation, no completed transcript is published, but partial reports are
+finalized where possible. An uncatchable termination can leave `in_progress`.
 
 ## Diagnostics Directory
 
-The [diagnostics configuration](config.md#thresholds-context-and-diagnostics)
-selects the parent work directory. Runs create children named like
-`run-<unix-nanoseconds>`. The runtime creates the work directory if needed.
-Report paths may be relative when the supplied work directory is relative;
-resolve them using the invocation's working directory.
+`--debug` or `diagnostics.debug` enables detailed evidence independently of
+reporting. One directory named `run-<id>` is created under
+`diagnostics.work_dir` (default `/tmp/audita`), which `--work-dir` can override,
+and retained on success or failure. Selecting `--work-dir` alone does not enable
+capture. Without debug, no directory or payload files are created. The parent
+is created when needed only for debug. Failure to
+write optional debug evidence prints a redacted stderr diagnostic but does not
+change correction decisions or the exit status.
 
-| Artifact in the run directory | Purpose |
-| --- | --- |
-| `source-transcript.json` | Original transcript input |
-| `source-transcript-parsed.json` | Parsed source representation |
-| `normalized-transcript.json` | Transcript after normalization |
-| `normalization-summary.json` | Normalization counters |
-| `chunking-summary.json` | Section/token summary |
-| `invocation.json` | Invocation metadata |
-| `effective-config.json` | Redacted configuration snapshot |
-| `report.json` | Run's [process report](integrations/output-files.md#process-report) |
-| `correction-ledger.json` | [Correction dispositions](integrations/output-files.md#correction-ledger) |
-| `utilization-diagnostics.json` | [Concurrency and timing observations](integrations/output-files.md#utilization-diagnostics) |
-| `error.log` | Failure details when written |
-
-LLM request, response, and error diagnostics are also written within the run
-directory. Their nested naming and payloads are debugging details. Prefer paths
-provided by the report and its decision/warning records over reconstructing those
-paths. The report describes intended artifact locations, not proof that every
-write succeeded or that the files still exist after retention.
-
-## Retention Behavior
-
-[Configuration](config.md#thresholds-context-and-diagnostics) owns accepted
-retention values and the default. Current lifecycle behavior is:
-
-| Run outcome / selection | Directory outcome |
-| --- | --- |
-| Failed run | Retained regardless of selection |
-| Successful run, `always` | Retained |
-| Successful run, `auto` | Retained if corrections were skipped or rejected; otherwise removed |
-| Successful run, `never` | Currently retained, the same outcome as `always` |
-
-The name `never` does not currently mean deletion. Warnings alone do not trigger
-retention under `auto` unless they also produce skipped or rejected corrections.
-An external report outside the run directory survives automatic cleanup, but its
-artifact paths can then point to removed files.
-
-## Artifact Handling
-
-Run artifacts can contain full transcripts, glossary-related context, and LLM
-prompts/responses. Configured-key redaction does not anonymize those contents.
-Choose a work directory whose ownership and permissions fit the transcript data,
-and retain or share artifacts intentionally. Credential-supply mechanisms are
-owned by [configuration](config.md#secrets).
-
-For a debugging run, select retained diagnostics using the
-[retention flag](cli.md#process-flag-reference). Copy needed artifacts before
-removing completed run directories manually. Avoid deleting a directory while
-its run is active. Audita does not provide a separate archival/backup or remote
-artifact storage facility.
+Debug evidence includes invocation and effective settings, configuration
+origins, selected profiles, redacted source and normalized snapshots,
+normalization and initial chunk summaries, all captured proposed candidates
+and validator decisions in `correction-ledger.json`, execution/utilization
+records, and model interaction files. Individual artifact writes can fail; a
+directory's existence does not prove every file was written. These files can
+contain transcript text and prompt/response payloads. Configured backend
+credentials are redacted, but the transcript itself is not anonymized. Protect
+and retain the directory according to the sensitivity of the input.
 
 ## Failure Inspection and Recovery
 
-1. Read stderr and the exit classification defined by the [CLI](cli.md#process-output-and-exit-behavior).
-2. Locate the external report, or the run directory identified by the error when
-   available. If a late error omits the path, inspect the selected work directory.
-3. Read the available report and error log. Use
-   [report status and error fields](integrations/output-files.md#process-report)
-   to identify the failed phase, then inspect referenced artifacts.
-4. Correct the concrete input, configuration, endpoint, or filesystem issue and
-   rerun the command with diagnostics retained if further investigation is needed.
+Exit `0` means processing and every enabled required output completed. Exit
+`1` means cancellation, fatal processing, or required-output failure. Exit `2`
+identifies usage or configuration/destination selection errors. Recoverable
+model-operation failures appear in `errors.yml` as one record per affected
+work unit; they do not automatically make the run fail. `recoveries.yml`
+records successful operations that needed retry, repair, or proposal filtering.
+`report.md` shows every initial chunk and configured module instance, including
+interrupted and unattempted work. Ordinary reports omit transcript excerpts and
+full decision ledgers; enable debug when those are needed.
 
-Each invocation starts a new run. There is no implemented resume/checkpoint API;
-recovery is a rerun, not continuation from an artifact. Failures during early
-configuration or directory creation may leave no report or diagnostic files.
+Read stderr and report status first. If a required output failed after a
+transcript was published, do not treat the file alone as proof of a completed
+run. Fix the input, service, or destination problem and rerun. Audita has no
+resume/checkpoint API.

+
+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION
+
+   1. Definitions.
+
+      "License" shall mean the terms and conditions for use, reproduction,
+      and distribution as defined by Sections 1 through 9 of this document.
+
+      "Licensor" shall mean the copyright owner or entity authorized by
+      the copyright owner that is granting the License.
+
+      "Legal Entity" shall mean the union of the acting entity and all
+      other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common
+      control with that entity. For the purposes of this definition,
+      "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the
+      direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or
+      otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the

+
+      "You" (or "Your") shall mean an individual or Legal Entity
+      exercising permissions granted by this License.
+
+      "Source" form shall mean the preferred form for making modifications,
+      including but not limited to software source code, documentation
+      source, and configuration files.
+
+      "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
+      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
+      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
+      and conversions to other media types.
+
+      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
+      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
+      separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
+      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
+      the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
+      to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
+      submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
+      or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
+      the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
+      means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
+      to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
+      communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
+      and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
+      Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
+      excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
+      designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+
+   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+   APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.
+
+      To apply the Apache License to your work, attach the following
+      boilerplate notice, with the fields enclosed by brackets "[]"
+      replaced with your own identifying information. (Don't include
+      the brackets!)  The text should be enclosed in the appropriate
+      comment syntax for the file format. We also recommend that a
+      file or class name and description of purpose be included on the
+      same "printed page" as the copyright notice for easier
+      identification within third-party archives.

+
+ Creative Commons Corporation (“Creative Commons”) is not a law firm and does not provide legal services or legal advice. Distribution of Creative Commons public licenses does not create a lawyer-client or other relationship. Creative Commons makes its licenses and related information available on an “as-is” basis. Creative Commons gives no warranties regarding its licenses, any material licensed under their terms and conditions, or any related information. Creative Commons disclaims all liability for damages resulting from their use to the fullest extent possible.
+
+Using Creative Commons Public Licenses
+
+Creative Commons public licenses provide a standard set of terms and conditions that creators and other rights holders may use to share original works of authorship and other material subject to copyright and certain other rights specified in the public license below. The following considerations are for informational purposes only, are not exhaustive, and do not form part of our licenses.
+
+Considerations for licensors: Our public licenses are intended for use by those authorized to give the public permission to use material in ways otherwise restricted by copyright and certain other rights. Our licenses are irrevocable. Licensors should read and understand the terms and conditions of the license they choose before applying it. Licensors should also secure all rights necessary before applying our licenses so that the public can reuse the material as expected. Licensors should clearly mark any material not subject to the license. This includes other CC-licensed material, or material used under an exception or limitation to copyright. More considerations for licensors.
+
+Considerations for the public: By using one of our public licenses, a licensor grants the public permission to use the licensed material under specified terms and conditions. If the licensor’s permission is not necessary for any reason–for example, because of any applicable exception or limitation to copyright–then that use is not regulated by the license. Our licenses grant only permissions under copyright and certain other rights that a licensor has authority to grant. Use of the licensed material may still be restricted for other reasons, including because others have copyright or other rights in the material. A licensor may make special requests, such as asking that all changes be marked or described.
+
+Although not required by our licenses, you are encouraged to respect those requests where reasonable. More considerations for the public.
+
+Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License
+
+By exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International Public License ("Public License"). To the extent this Public License may be interpreted as a contract, You are granted the Licensed Rights in consideration of Your acceptance of these terms and conditions, and the Licensor grants You such rights in consideration of benefits the Licensor receives from making the Licensed Material available under these terms and conditions.
+
+Section 1 – Definitions.
+
+     a.	Adapted Material means material subject to Copyright and Similar Rights that is derived from or based upon the Licensed Material and in which the Licensed Material is translated, altered, arranged, transformed, or otherwise modified in a manner requiring permission under the Copyright and Similar Rights held by the Licensor. For purposes of this Public License, where the Licensed Material is a musical work, performance, or sound recording, Adapted Material is always produced where the Licensed Material is synched in timed relation with a moving image.
+
+     b.	Adapter's License means the license You apply to Your Copyright and Similar Rights in Your contributions to Adapted Material in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Public License.
+
+     c.	BY-SA Compatible License means a license listed at creativecommons.org/compatiblelicenses, approved by Creative Commons as essentially the equivalent of this Public License.
+
+     d.	Copyright and Similar Rights means copyright and/or similar rights closely related to copyright including, without limitation, performance, broadcast, sound recording, and Sui Generis Database Rights, without regard to how the rights are labeled or categorized. For purposes of this Public License, the rights specified in Section 2(b)(1)-(2) are not Copyright and Similar Rights.
+
+     e.	Effective Technological Measures means those measures that, in the absence of proper authority, may not be circumvented under laws fulfilling obligations under Article 11 of the WIPO Copyright Treaty adopted on December 20, 1996, and/or similar international agreements.
+
+     f.	Exceptions and Limitations means fair use, fair dealing, and/or any other exception or limitation to Copyright and Similar Rights that applies to Your use of the Licensed Material.
+
+     g.	License Elements means the license attributes listed in the name of a Creative Commons Public License. The License Elements of this Public License are Attribution and ShareAlike.
+
+     h.	Licensed Material means the artistic or literary work, database, or other material to which the Licensor applied this Public License.
+
+     i.	Licensed Rights means the rights granted to You subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License, which are limited to all Copyright and Similar Rights that apply to Your use of the Licensed Material and that the Licensor has authority to license.
+
+     j.	Licensor means the individual(s) or entity(ies) granting rights under this Public License.
+
+     k.	Share means to provide material to the public by any means or process that requires permission under the Licensed Rights, such as reproduction, public display, public performance, distribution, dissemination, communication, or importation, and to make material available to the public including in ways that members of the public may access the material from a place and at a time individually chosen by them.
+
+     l.	Sui Generis Database Rights means rights other than copyright resulting from Directive 96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal protection of databases, as amended and/or succeeded, as well as other essentially equivalent rights anywhere in the world.
+
+     m.	You means the individual or entity exercising the Licensed Rights under this Public License. Your has a corresponding meaning.
+
+Section 2 – Scope.
+
+     a.	License grant.
+
+          1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License, the Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to exercise the Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material to:
+
+               A. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or in part; and
+
+               B. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material.
+
+          2. Exceptions and Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, where Exceptions and Limitations apply to Your use, this Public License does not apply, and You do not need to comply with its terms and conditions.
+
+          3. Term. The term of this Public License is specified in Section 6(a).
+
+          4. Media and formats; technical modifications allowed. The Licensor authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in all media and formats whether now known or hereafter created, and to make technical modifications necessary to do so. The Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any right or authority to forbid You from making technical modifications necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective Technological Measures. For purposes of this Public License, simply making modifications authorized by this Section 2(a)(4) never produces Adapted Material.
+
+          5. Downstream recipients.
+
+               A. Offer from the Licensor – Licensed Material. Every recipient of the Licensed Material automatically receives an offer from the Licensor to exercise the Licensed Rights under the terms and conditions of this Public License.
+
+               B. Additional offer from the Licensor – Adapted Material. Every recipient of Adapted Material from You automatically receives an offer from the Licensor to exercise the Licensed Rights in the Adapted Material under the conditions of the Adapter’s License You apply.
+
+               C. No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose any additional or different terms or conditions on, or apply any Effective Technological Measures to, the Licensed Material if doing so restricts exercise of the Licensed Rights by any recipient of the Licensed Material.
+
+          6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be construed as permission to assert or imply that You are, or that Your use of the Licensed Material is, connected with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by, the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution as provided in Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i).
+
+     b.	Other rights.
+
+          1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not licensed under this Public License, nor are publicity, privacy, and/or other similar personality rights; however, to the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed Rights, but not otherwise.
+
+          2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this Public License.
+
+          3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed Rights, whether directly or through a collecting society under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly reserves any right to collect such royalties.
+
+Section 3 – License Conditions.
+
+Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the following conditions.
+
+     a.	Attribution.
+
+          1. If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified form), You must:
+
+               A. retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor with the Licensed Material:
+
+                    i.	identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed Material and any others designated to receive attribution, in any reasonable manner requested by the Licensor (including by pseudonym if designated);
+
+                    ii.	a copyright notice;
+
+                    iii. a notice that refers to this Public License;
+
+                    iv.	a notice that refers to the disclaimer of warranties;
+
+                    v.	a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the extent reasonably practicable;
+
+               B. indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and retain an indication of any previous modifications; and
+
+               C. indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this Public License, and include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, this Public License.
+
+          2. You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1) in any reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and context in which You Share the Licensed Material. For example, it may be reasonable to satisfy the conditions by providing a URI or hyperlink to a resource that includes the required information.
+
+          3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the information required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent reasonably practicable.
+
+     b.	ShareAlike.In addition to the conditions in Section 3(a), if You Share Adapted Material You produce, the following conditions also apply.
+
+          1. The Adapter’s License You apply must be a Creative Commons license with the same License Elements, this version or later, or a BY-SA Compatible License.
+
+          2. You must include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, the Adapter's License You apply. You may satisfy this condition in any reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and context in which You Share Adapted Material.
+
+          3. You may not offer or impose any additional or different terms or conditions on, or apply any Effective Technological Measures to, Adapted Material that restrict exercise of the rights granted under the Adapter's License You apply.
+
+Section 4 – Sui Generis Database Rights.
+
+Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that apply to Your use of the Licensed Material:
+
+     a.	for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right to extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database;
+
+     b.	if You include all or a substantial portion of the database contents in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights, then the database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights (but not its individual contents) is Adapted Material, including for purposes of Section 3(b); and
+
+     c.	You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.
+For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights.
+
+Section 5 – Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.
+
+     a.	Unless otherwise separately undertaken by the Licensor, to the extent possible, the Licensor offers the Licensed Material as-is and as-available, and makes no representations or warranties of any kind concerning the Licensed Material, whether express, implied, statutory, or other. This includes, without limitation, warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or the presence or absence of errors, whether or not known or discoverable. Where disclaimers of warranties are not allowed in full or in part, this disclaimer may not apply to You.
+
+     b.	To the extent possible, in no event will the Licensor be liable to You on any legal theory (including, without limitation, negligence) or otherwise for any direct, special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary, or other losses, costs, expenses, or damages arising out of this Public License or use of the Licensed Material, even if the Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such losses, costs, expenses, or damages. Where a limitation of liability is not allowed in full or in part, this limitation may not apply to You.
+
+     c.	The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and waiver of all liability.
+
+Section 6 – Term and Termination.
+
+     a.	This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with this Public License, then Your rights under this Public License terminate automatically.
+
+     b.	Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under Section 6(a), it reinstates:
+
+          1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; or
+
+          2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.
+
+     c.	For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations of this Public License.
+
+     d.	For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so will not terminate this Public License.
+
+     e.	Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public License.
+
+Section 7 – Other Terms and Conditions.
+
+     a.	The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different terms or conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed.
+
+     b.	Any arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the Licensed Material not stated herein are separate from and independent of the terms and conditions of this Public License.
+
+Section 8 – Interpretation.
+
+     a.	For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and shall not be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose conditions on any use of the Licensed Material that could lawfully be made without permission under this Public License.
+
+     b.	To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and conditions.
+
+     c.	No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the Licensor.
+
+     d.	Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted as a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities that apply to the Licensor or You, including from the legal processes of any jurisdiction or authority.
+
+Creative Commons is not a party to its public licenses. Notwithstanding, Creative Commons may elect to apply one of its public licenses to material it publishes and in those instances will be considered the “Licensor.” Except for the limited purpose of indicating that material is shared under a Creative Commons public license or as otherwise permitted by the Creative Commons policies published at creativecommons.org/policies, Creative Commons does not authorize the use of the trademark “Creative Commons” or any other trademark or logo of Creative Commons without its prior written consent including, without limitation, in connection with any unauthorized modifications to any of its public licenses or any other arrangements, understandings, or agreements concerning use of licensed material.

+                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+                       Version 3, 29 June 2007
+
+ Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+                            Preamble
+
+  The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
+software and other kinds of works.
+
+  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
+to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
+the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
+share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
+software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
+GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
+any other work released this way by its authors.  You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
+want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
+free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
+
+  To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
+these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have
+certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
+you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
+
+  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
+freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
+or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
+know their rights.
+
+  Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
+(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
+giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
+
+  For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
+that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and
+authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
+changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
+authors of previous versions.
+
+  Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
+modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
+can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
+protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic
+pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
+use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we
+have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
+products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
+stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
+of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
+
+  Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
+States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
+software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
+avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
+make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that
+patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+                       TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+  0. Definitions.
+
+  "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
+
+  "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
+works, such as semiconductor masks.
+
+  "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
+License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
+"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
+
+  To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
+in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
+exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
+earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
+
+  A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
+on the Program.
+
+  To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
+permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
+infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
+computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
+distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
+public, and in some countries other activities as well.
+
+  To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
+parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
+a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
+
+  An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
+to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
+feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
+tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
+extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
+work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
+the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
+menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
+
+  1. Source Code.
+
+  The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
+for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
+form of a work.
+
+  A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
+standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
+interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
+is widely used among developers working in that language.
+
+  The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
+than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
+packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
+Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
+Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
+implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
+"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
+(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
+(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
+produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
+
+  The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
+the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
+work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
+control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
+System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
+programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
+which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
+includes interface definition files associated with source files for
+the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
+linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
+such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
+subprograms and other parts of the work.
+
+  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
+can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
+Source.
+
+  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
+same work.
+
+  2. Basic Permissions.
+
+  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
+copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
+conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
+permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
+covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
+content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
+rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
+
+  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
+convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
+in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
+of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
+with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
+the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
+not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
+for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
+and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
+your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
+
+  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
+the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
+makes it unnecessary.
+
+  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
+
+  No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
+measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
+11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
+similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
+measures.
+
+  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
+circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
+is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
+the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
+modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
+users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
+technological measures.
+
+  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
+
+  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
+receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
+appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
+keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
+non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
+keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
+recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
+
+  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
+and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
+
+  5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
+
+  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
+produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
+terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
+    it, and giving a relevant date.
+
+    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
+    released under this License and any conditions added under section
+    7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
+    "keep intact all notices".
+
+    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
+    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
+    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
+    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
+    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
+    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
+    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
+
+    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
+    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
+    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
+    work need not make them do so.
+
+  A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
+works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
+and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
+in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
+"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
+used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
+beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
+in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
+parts of the aggregate.
+
+  6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
+
+  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
+of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
+machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
+in one of these ways:
+
+    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
+    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
+    customarily used for software interchange.
+
+    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
+    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
+    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
+    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
+    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
+    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
+    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
+    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
+    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
+    Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
+
+    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
+    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
+    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
+    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
+    with subsection 6b.
+
+    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
+    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
+    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
+    further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
+    Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
+    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
+    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
+    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
+    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
+    Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
+    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
+    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
+
+    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
+    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
+    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
+    charge under subsection 6d.
+
+  A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
+from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
+included in conveying the object code work.
+
+  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
+tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
+or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
+into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
+doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
+product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
+typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
+of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
+actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
+is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
+commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
+the only significant mode of use of the product.
+
+  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
+procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
+and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
+a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
+suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
+code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
+modification has been made.
+
+  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
+specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
+part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
+User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
+fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
+Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
+by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
+if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
+modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
+been installed in ROM).
+
+  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
+requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
+for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
+the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
+network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
+adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
+protocols for communication across the network.
+
+  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
+in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
+documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
+source code form), and must require no special password or key for
+unpacking, reading or copying.
+
+  7. Additional Terms.
+
+  "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
+License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
+Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
+be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
+that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
+apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
+under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
+this License without regard to the additional permissions.
+
+  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
+remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
+it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
+removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
+additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
+for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
+add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
+that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
+
+    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
+    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
+
+    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
+    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
+    Notices displayed by works containing it; or
+
+    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
+    requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
+    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
+
+    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
+    authors of the material; or
+
+    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
+    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
+
+    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
+    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
+    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
+    any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
+    those licensors and authors.
+
+  All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
+restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
+received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
+governed by this License along with a term that is a further
+restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
+a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
+License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
+of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
+not survive such relicensing or conveying.
+
+  If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
+must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
+additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
+where to find the applicable terms.
+
+  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
+form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
+the above requirements apply either way.
+
+  8. Termination.
+
+  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
+provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
+modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
+this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
+paragraph of section 11).
+
+  However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
+license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
+provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
+finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
+holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
+prior to 60 days after the cessation.
+
+  Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
+reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
+violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
+received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
+copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
+your receipt of the notice.
+
+  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
+licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
+this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
+reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
+material under section 10.
+
+  9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
+
+  You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
+run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
+occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
+to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
+nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
+modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
+not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
+covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
+
+  10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
+
+  Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
+receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
+propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
+for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
+
+  An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
+organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
+organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
+work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
+transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
+licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
+give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
+Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
+the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
+
+  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
+rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
+not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
+rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
+(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
+any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
+sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
+
+  11. Patents.
+
+  A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
+License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
+work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
+
+  A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
+owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
+hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
+by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
+but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
+consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
+purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
+patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
+this License.
+
+  Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
+patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
+make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
+propagate the contents of its contributor version.
+
+  In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
+agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
+(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
+sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
+party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
+patent against the party.
+
+  If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
+and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
+to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
+publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
+then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
+available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
+patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
+consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
+license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
+actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
+covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
+in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
+country that you have reason to believe are valid.
+
+  If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
+arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
+covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
+receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
+or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
+you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
+work and works based on it.
+
+  A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
+the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
+conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
+specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
+work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
+in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
+to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
+the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
+parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
+patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
+conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
+for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
+contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
+or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
+
+  Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
+any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
+otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
+
+  12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
+
+  If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
+covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
+not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
+to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
+the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
+License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
+
+  13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
+
+  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
+permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
+under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
+combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
+License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
+but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
+section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
+combination as such.
+
+  14. Revised Versions of this License.
+
+  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
+the GNU General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
+Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
+Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
+option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
+version or of any later version published by the Free Software
+Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
+GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
+by the Free Software Foundation.
+
+  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
+versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
+public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
+to choose that version for the Program.
+
+  Later license versions may give you additional or different
+permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
+author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
+later version.
+
+  15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
+
+  THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
+APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
+HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
+OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
+THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
+PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
+IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
+ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+  16. Limitation of Liability.
+
+  IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
+THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
+GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
+USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
+DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
+PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
+EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
+SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+  17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
+
+  If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
+above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
+reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
+an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
+Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
+copy of the Program in return for a fee.
+
+                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+
+    This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
+    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
+    the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
+    (at your option) any later version.
+
+    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
+    GNU General Public License for more details.
+
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
+    along with this program.  If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+  If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
+notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
+
+    <program>  Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
+    This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+
+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
+parts of the General Public License.  Of course, your program's commands
+might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
+
+  You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
+if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
+For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
+<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+  The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
+into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you
+may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
+the library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
+Public License instead of this License.  But first, please read
+<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html>.

+                   GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+                       Version 3, 29 June 2007
+
+ Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+
+  This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates
+the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public
+License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.
+
+  0. Additional Definitions.
+
+  As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser
+General Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNU
+General Public License.
+
+  "The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License,
+other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below.
+
+  An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided
+by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library.
+Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode
+of using an interface provided by the Library.
+
+  A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an
+Application with the Library.  The particular version of the Library
+with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked
+Version".
+
+  The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the
+Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code
+for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are
+based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version.
+
+  The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the
+object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data
+and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the
+Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.
+
+  1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.
+
+  You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License
+without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.
+
+  2. Conveying Modified Versions.
+
+  If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a
+facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application
+that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the
+facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified
+version:
+
+   a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to
+   ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the
+   function or data, the facility still operates, and performs
+   whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or
+
+   b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of
+   this License applicable to that copy.
+
+  3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.
+
+  The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from
+a header file that is part of the Library.  You may convey such object
+code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated
+material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure
+layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates
+(ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:
+
+   a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the
+   Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
+   covered by this License.
+
+   b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
+   document.
+
+  4. Combined Works.
+
+  You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that,
+taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the
+portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse
+engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of
+the following:
+
+   a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that
+   the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
+   covered by this License.
+
+   b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
+   document.
+
+   c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during
+   execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among
+   these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the
+   copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.
+
+   d) Do one of the following:
+
+       0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this
+       License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form
+       suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to
+       recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of
+       the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the
+       manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying
+       Corresponding Source.
+
+       1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
+       Library.  A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time
+       a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer
+       system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version
+       of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked
+       Version.
+
+   e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise
+   be required to provide such information under section 6 of the
+   GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is
+   necessary to install and execute a modified version of the
+   Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the
+   Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If
+   you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany
+   the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application
+   Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation
+   Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL
+   for conveying Corresponding Source.)
+
+  5. Combined Libraries.
+
+  You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
+Library side by side in a single library together with other library
+facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this
+License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your
+choice, if you do both of the following:
+
+   a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based
+   on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities,
+   conveyed under the terms of this License.
+
+   b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it
+   is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the
+   accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
+
+  6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
+
+  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
+of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new
+versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
+differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
+
+  Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
+Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version
+of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version"
+applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
+conditions either of that published version or of any later version
+published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you
+received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser
+General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser
+General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
+
+  If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide
+whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall
+apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is
+permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the
+Library.

-## Purpose and System Shape
+## Purpose And Ownership
+
+The adopted policy defines the application's purpose and the architectural
+constraints contributors must follow. It owns system boundaries, responsibility
+and dependency rules, established invariants, and explicit non-goals.
+
+Describe the concrete package inventory and implementation mechanics in internal
+documentation. Link to canonical public contracts for their exact behavior and
+to ADRs for decision rationale.
+
+## Architectural Approach
+
+Hexagonal architecture is strongly recommended, including encapsulating external
+integrations and APIs within internal adapters. Keep domain and application
+logic independent of external integration details, and make dependency direction
+clear in the adopted policy.
+
+Implement that separation with proportionate, idiomatic code. Choose interfaces
+and package layout to serve the application's actual boundaries. Use adapters
+for collaborators with external integration responsibilities.
+
+## Adopted Constraints And Implemented Structure
+
+Architectural constraints govern current and future development. Record
+implemented structure accurately, proposals and implementation status in the
+roadmap, and significant decisions and rationale in ADRs. Describe a target
+structure as implemented when its changes land.
+
+Constraints must reflect deliberately selected requirements and decisions.

+**Base Policy Version:** 1.8
+
+**Last Updated**: 2026-09-28

+
+## Purpose And Scope
+
+This policy defines project licensing conventions and a repeatable House Format
+for upstream attribution and license notices. It covers the project's own code
+and upstream components incorporated into or distributed with the application
+or library, including relevant transitive dependencies and copied code,
+documentation, or assets.
+Determine treatment from the component's terms and actual use.
+
+Consulting development guidance or using tooling alone does not require an
+attribution entry. Copying or adapting documentation for inclusion in the
+repository is different: preserve its applicable attribution and license terms.
+A material's role as development guidance does not exempt copied documents.
+Apply any express permissions for attribution-free reuse of example formatting.
+
+The baseline is a publicly available source repository with releases published
+alongside it. The format is independent of language, forge, and build system.
+It does not require attribution for every development tool, establish license
+compatibility, or resolve every obligation arising from use or distribution.
+
+Audita uses the existing GPL-3.0-or-later application grant in
+[`COPYRIGHT`](../../COPYRIGHT). The Gitea distribution and publication procedure
+are documented in the [release runbook](../release.md).
+
+## Canonical Locations
+
+The [documentation policy](documentation.md) assigns ownership:
+
+- `COPYRIGHT`: project name, copyright statements, SPDX expression, grant,
+  warranty disclaimer, and third-party statement.
+- `LICENSE` contains the complete, unmodified project license text, including
+  incorporated companion text. Dependency attribution does not relicense the project.
+- `docs/oss/attribution.md`: canonical component entries.
+- `docs/oss/licenses/`: complete, verbatim standard and applicable companion texts.
+
+Use recognizable license filenames, such as `Apache-2.0.txt` or `LGPL-3.0.txt`.
+A shared standard text may serve multiple entries. Keep explanations outside
+license texts and preserve distinct versions and exceptions.
+
+## Upstream Reference Examples
+
+Use the commit-pinned upstream examples to create actual project notices.
+Retain their links and keep the example collection upstream; keep applicable
+license texts locally as specified above.
+
+## Project Licensing
+
+Unless the author specifies otherwise, use **GPL version 3 or later**
+(`GPL-3.0-or-later`) for applications and **LGPL version 3 or later**
+(`LGPL-3.0-or-later`) for libraries. An author's explicit choice takes precedence:
+for example, a one-off script may use MIT. Such a choice requires no exception
+rationale, additional approval, or compensating controls under this policy.
+
+These defaults guide new license selection. Adopting this policy does not
+relicense existing code or override third-party terms. Preserve an existing
+license unless the author deliberately changes it. For mixed-purpose projects,
+follow the author's selected scope rather than inferring different licenses for
+individual packages.
+
+Use the upstream [application COPYRIGHT example](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/policy/src/commit/d84a38ebab26f048cafbe59a2246700c35d29843/examples/licensing/application/COPYRIGHT)
+or [library COPYRIGHT example](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/policy/src/commit/d84a38ebab26f048cafbe59a2246700c35d29843/examples/licensing/library/COPYRIGHT)
+to create the project’s root `COPYRIGHT` file.
+Use verified project names, contribution years, and copyright holders.
+For another selected license, adapt the grant, SPDX expression, disclaimer, and
+text references together to reflect the author's selected grant.
+
+For GPLv3 projects, copy the complete GPLv3 text into `LICENSE`. For LGPLv3
+projects, place the complete LGPLv3 text followed by the complete GPLv3 text in
+`LICENSE`; the LGPL incorporates the GPL terms. Keep the texts unmodified and
+place project-specific statements in `COPYRIGHT`. For the default grants, the
+grant and SPDX expression in `COPYRIGHT` must expressly identify `or-later`;
+follow the author’s choice if a different grant is selected.
+
+For other licenses, provide their complete text and any required project-specific
+fields; the standard reference collection remains unchanged. Keep `COPYRIGHT`,
+`LICENSE`, SPDX expressions, and README descriptions consistent with the actual
+grant. This convention introduces no blanket requirement for per-file headers;
+preserve notices or add them where the applicable terms require them.
+
+Identify separately licensed documentation or assets in the project grant, with
+links to their attribution and license information. An application's default
+code license does not override the terms of incorporated documentation.
+
+## Upstream Attribution House Format
+
+Begin `docs/oss/attribution.md` with `# Open Source Attribution Notices`,
+followed directly by component entries. These comprise the complete document.
+
+Each entry presents these five fields in order, with blank lines between them:
+
+1. **Project name** as a level-two heading. An optional identification paragraph
+   may follow, such as `Selected module: MODULE at VERSION.` with the module and
+   version in backticks. For copied documentation, a concise `Material:` sentence
+   may identify the affected files and whether they were adapted or copied
+   without modification. A factual qualifier such as `(transitive dependency)`
+   is permitted. Limit optional identification prose to factual component and
+   material scope.
+2. **Upstream copyright statement or statements**, preserving their wording.
+   Put multiple statements in separate paragraphs. Include this field when the
+   selected upstream source supplies an applicable statement; otherwise, omit it.
+3. **SPDX license identifier or expression**, when applicable, using
+   `SPDX-License-Identifier: EXPRESSION`.
+4. **License and notice links**, beginning `License and notices:`, separated
+   by ` | `, and ending with a period. Label local standard texts by license
+   name, such as `MIT` or `Apache 2.0`. Label upstream files by their actual
+   filenames, such as `COPYRIGHT`, `LICENSE`, `NOTICE`, or `PATENTS`.
+5. **Source repository link**, rendered exactly as `[Source](COMMIT_URL).`.
+
+Use the upstream [attribution example](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/policy/src/commit/d84a38ebab26f048cafbe59a2246700c35d29843/examples/licensing/attribution.md)
+to create the project’s `docs/oss/attribution.md`.
+The example illustrates omitted fields and multiple copyrights and licenses.
+Replace the uppercase placeholders and illustrative URLs with actual component
+information. Local license links are relative to the destination
+`docs/oss/attribution.md`; copy the applicable texts into its `licenses/`
+directory. Do not copy example entries for components the project does not use.
+
+These are five fields, not a line limit. Omit the SPDX field when no applicable
+identifier exists; identify nonstandard terms through the linked text. Preserve
+licensing alternatives and exceptions, and record a selected option when
+relevant through the factual license identification. Do not invent an identifier
+or silently resolve an unsettled licensing choice.
+
+Keep entries factual. Do not add agent-authored explanations of license
+expressions, file-level license scope, research performed, retained source
+notices, or compliance conclusions. Avoid filler such as "none is invented
+here" and embellished link labels such as "upstream LICENSE", "additional
+patent grant", or "at the imported commit". Preserve actual required upstream
+content; this rule excludes editorial additions, not required notices. Policy
+interpretation and exception reasoning belong in the adopted OSS policy or an
+appropriate decision record, not the attribution document.
+
+## License Texts And Upstream Links
+
+Link standard license texts to their local copies. Link project-specific
+notices to their upstream copies. Every upstream repository or notice link must
+identify the exact commit corresponding to the
+imported version, including the selected source revision for copied material.
+
+Classify material according to its contents. An upstream `LICENSE`,
+`COPYING`, or similar file may contain project-specific notices or exceptions
+in addition to standard wording. Link both the local standard text and the
+commit-specific upstream file when needed. Make companion license texts directly
+reachable from the entry.
+
+For project-specific license and attribution material, this policy accepts
+direct links to the applicable upstream texts as satisfying reproduction,
+inclusion, or copy requirements. This is the adopted house interpretation.
+Agents must apply it without adding local-copy requirements or seeking repeated
+approval solely because a license uses those terms.
+
+This interpretation concerns notice reproduction. Concrete obligations such as
+marking modified files or supplying corresponding source receive their own
+applicable treatment. Preserve required notices already present in incorporated
+source files; the central attribution entry does not authorize stripping them.
+
+## Discoverability
+
+End the project's README with two friendly statements linking to its actual
+grant in `COPYRIGHT` and the attribution document. For example, for a project
+with the stated license:
+
+```markdown
+PROJECT_NAME is licensed under the [LGPL v3.0 or later](COPYRIGHT).
+
+[Open Source attribution notices](docs/oss/attribution.md) are available.
+```
+
+Each new checked-in release document and its hosted download page must end
+with links whose visible text is `COPYRIGHT | LICENSE | ATTRIBUTION`. Use absolute
+URLs to those files at the release's immutable tag or corresponding immutable source
+revision so the links work in both locations. This release navigation is distinct
+from upstream component links, which must use the imported commit.
+
+Reuse the checked-in release document as the hosted release body where supported.
+The release procedure owns concrete URLs and publication mechanics for delivering
+the links through the selected channel. Do not maintain duplicate notice lists.
+These conventions do not by themselves require separate downloadable license
+assets, source bundles, or a different binary package format.
+
+## Maintenance And Exceptions
+
+Update project licensing statements together when the author changes the grant
+or its scope. Update upstream notices in the change that adds, removes, upgrades,
+copies, or changes the distribution of a relevant component. Check the selected source's license
+and notices rather than assuming they are unchanged. Update affected entries,
+commit links, and texts; retain historical versions through Git.
+
+When the toolchain used for distributed binaries changes, check the Go runtime
+and standard-library entries against that toolchain's exact source revision,
+including any vendored packages incorporated into those binaries.
+
+Check affected statements, faithful standard-text copies, and link destinations
+as part of ordinary change review. For a future release tag, check intended file
+paths against the candidate source; the tag need not resolve remotely before
+publication. Do not add publication-time network checks, CI polling, recurring
+legal sign-offs, mandatory scanners, or a full software bill of materials merely
+to implement this policy.
+
+Use the House Format routinely. Raise an exception only for a concrete obligation
+or unresolved rights question it does not address, including any arising from a
+particular distribution channel. Record the issue and selected treatment in the
+adopted OSS policy or an appropriate decision record. Attribution entries
+contain the resulting factual identification and required material, without
+repeating that reasoning. Resolve the issue before the affected use or
+distribution without reopening settled choices.
+Common ownership of projects is neither required nor a blanket exception.
+
+Apply the formatting convention prospectively. Do not rewrite published tags,
+notes, binaries, or checksums to retrofit it. Address actual omissions deliberately
+under the applicable terms and the [release correction policy](release.md#immutability-and-failure-recovery).
+Ordinary attribution maintenance and release links are preparation work, not new
+release approval gates.

 # Release Policy
 
-**Base Policy Version:** 1.0
+**Base Policy Version:** 1.6
 
-**Last Updated**: 2026-09-23
+**Last Updated**: 2026-10-08
+**Upstream Source:** [Standard Repository Policies release](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/policy/src/commit/e833faddf120c789a9b45348edaf75720de16348/docs/policy/release.md)
 
 ## Purpose
 
-This policy defines the minimum requirements for selecting, validating,
-publishing, verifying, and correcting releases. Its goal is to make every
-release intentional, reproducible from an exact source revision, documented
-for consumers, and safe from retrospective replacement.
+This policy defines a proportionate workflow for validating and publishing an
+intended source revision under a fresh version. Releases should require little
+routine intervention, avoid repeated work, and preserve published contents.
 
-The repository-specific commands that implement these requirements belong in
-`docs/release.md`. Historical release summaries belong in `docs/releases/`.
-This is an Audita-specific adaptation of the base policy, not a requirement to
-implement the standard unchanged. Adapt it further when Audita's needs warrant;
-the canonical procedure must agree with the adopted policy.
+Adopt stronger verification or reproducibility requirements through an explicit
+project-specific decision justified by the intended audience and support needs.
 
-## Release Model
+The repository-specific commands belong in `docs/release.md`. Historical release
+summaries belong in `docs/releases/`. The procedure must agree with the adopted
+policy and link to it rather than introduce additional release requirements.
 
-A release identifies one exact source commit with an immutable version tag and
-its checked-in release note. The primary release branch is `main`.
+## Release Model And Completion
 
-Release success means that the intended version tag has been created and
-successfully pushed to the authoritative remote with its source commit. The
-release procedure ends at that point. It must never wait for CI to complete or
-require successful CI status, artifact publication, or consumer installation as
-a completion gate.
+A source release identifies one exact committed source revision through an
+immutable version tag and a version-matched, checked-in release note. The
+primary release branch is `main` unless the adopted policy specifies otherwise.
+The procedure must name the authoritative publication remote.
 
-CI builds and publishes binaries and checksums asynchronously from the tagged
-source. Delayed or failed automation does not reverse release success. Artifact
-availability is a separate status and must not be claimed merely because the tag
-was pushed. Published artifacts must be traceable to the tagged source.
+A successful push of the intended tag, with its source commit available on the
+authoritative primary branch, completes the release. The source commit may be
+pushed before the tag or published together with it through an atomic push.
+The procedure must choose and document the supported approach.
 
-Automation must not silently change the source candidate, move a published tag,
-or replace an existing published artifact.
+Release commands must finish at successful publication. They must not wait for
+or poll CI, require successful CI status, inspect downloadable artifacts, or
+check consumer installation or Go module availability as completion gates.
+A failed or ambiguous push requires resolving the authoritative remote state
+before declaring success or retrying; successful pushes do not require a
+separate remote read-back gate.
+
+Repositories may publish source only. Additional binaries, images, packages,
+checksums, or other declared deliverables may be published asynchronously from
+the tagged source. The procedure must identify those deliverables and the
+responsibility of their automation. Published deliverables must be traceable
+to that source and identify the same version.

+Track source-release completion and artifact delivery separately. Report delivery
+failures and optional investigations under artifact-delivery status.

-## Release Documentation
+## Consumer Minimum And Release Toolchain
 
-Every release made under this policy must include
-`docs/releases/<version>.md` in the tagged source tree. The filename must use
-the complete version tag, and the document must begin with a title containing
-the product name and that exact version.
+Distinguish the minimum toolchain supported for consumers from the toolchain
+maintainers use to build and validate a release. Record the consumer minimum in
+the language's standard metadata and explain its support meaning in canonical
+documentation. Define the selected release toolchain and its setup commands in
+`docs/release.md`. Toolchain selection and upgrade cadence are repository-specific
+choices.
 
-Release notes must contain a short summary and any relevant compatibility or
-upgrade instructions. Fixed sections and explicit no-action boilerplate are not
-required. Keep notes proportionate to the change.
+For Go repositories, normally declare the initial stable release of the selected
+series as the consumer minimum, such as `go 1.26.0`. Use a higher patch minimum
+when a dependency or an identified correctness fix requires it, and document
+the reason.
 
-Release notes are immutable historical summaries. They should link to current
-canonical documentation for exact behavior. Every affected canonical document
-must be updated in the same candidate; a release note must not substitute for
-current documentation or defer required documentation changes.
+For release-policy purposes, successful build and release validation on the
+selected Go patch release are sufficient to presume support across that Go
+series, subject to the declared consumer minimum and concrete evidence of
+incompatibility. Investigate specific compatibility concerns as they arise.
 
-## Candidate Preparation And Validation
+Use the selected release toolchain for candidate validation and release builds,
+including CI jobs performing those tasks. A newer validation patch version alone
+leaves the consumer minimum unchanged.
 
-Use the minimum gates needed for confidence in Audita's release. Provide one
-local command for the selected automated checks, following the
-[testing policy](testing.md). Run the deterministic, offline default test suite
-once for the candidate and verify that both required Linux targets build.
-Avoid duplicate test runs solely to satisfy separate release phases.
+A minor release may raise the Go consumer minimum, including from one Go series
+to the next, both before and after `v1.0.0`. This is an explicit exception to the
+backward-compatibility requirement for minor releases. Patch releases preserve
+the consumer minimum. Explain an increase's impact and required consumer action
+in the release note. Other incompatible changes remain subject to the versioning
+rules above.
 
-Additional checks must address a concrete risk not already covered. Do not
-inherit a mandatory linting, documentation audit, platform matrix, or live-service
-checklist solely from the base policy. Documentation migration validation is
-separate work, not automatically a recurring release gate.
+## Release Documentation And Preparation
 
-Automate mechanical guards. Do not require manual approvals, sign-offs, laptop
-testing, or post-publication inspection as release gates. Version selection and
-a concise release summary remain preparation inputs, not separate approval rounds.
+Every new release must include `docs/releases/<version>.md` in the tagged
+source tree. Use the complete version tag as the filename and begin with a
+title containing the product name and that exact version.
+
+Include a short summary and any relevant compatibility impact or upgrade
+instructions. Choose sections suited to the release and keep the note
+proportionate to the change.
+
+Keep exact current contracts in their canonical documents and update affected
+documentation with the behavior change. Link to those documents from the note
+where useful. If annotated tags are used, derive their summary from the
+checked-in note.
+
+Include the release footer defined by the [OSS policy](oss.md#discoverability)
+in each new release document and preserve it on the hosted download page. The
+release procedure defines the concrete URLs and publication mechanics. Prepare
+these links with the release note; they do not add a network check or approval
+gate.
+
+Handle version selection, release-note content, and retirement of completed
+roadmaps during preparation. Preserve planned and deferred work and repair
+affected links when retiring roadmaps. Reuse ordinary change review for
+unintended files, credentials, and private data. Scope release-content review
+to the tagged source.
+
+## Candidate Validation
+
+Provide one publication command that validates the final committed candidate,
+checks publication state, and publishes the intended refs. A validation-only
+mode or command may be provided for diagnosis, but must not be a required step
+before publication repeats the same checks.
+
+Run the complete deterministic, offline default test suite once for the final
+candidate, following the [testing policy](testing.md). For repositories that
+publish builds, verify the required build targets. Select those targets for
+the application's actual support commitments; native testing on each platform
+and access to particular hardware are not default release prerequisites.
+
+Additional gates must address a concrete risk that the existing checks do not
+adequately cover. Do not automatically require linting, race testing, module
+hygiene audits, documentation audits, credential scans, example validation, or
+expanded platform matrices solely because they are possible. Retain such
+checks when their distinct protection justifies their cost. A one-time migration
+check must not silently become a permanent release requirement.
+
+Release tests must not require real credentials, mutable application services,
+paid APIs, provider probes, or inference calls. The procedure may describe dependency
+preparation separately from offline validation.
+
+Avoid duplicate validation across release phases. Successful checks for the
+same final candidate need not be repeated solely to satisfy another phase;
+any reuse must clearly apply to that exact candidate. Persistent validation
+caches are not required. If the candidate changes, validate the new candidate.
+Cheap publication-state checks may be repeated immediately before pushing
+because local or remote state may have changed during validation.
+
+Automate mechanical guards. Human review gates are strongly disfavored: add one
+only through an explicit project-specific policy decision explaining the
+concrete risk and why ordinary change review or automation is insufficient.
+Do not add routine confirmations for checks the command can perform itself.
 
 ## Publication Guards
 
-The procedure must automate the small set of checks needed to publish the
-intended source under a fresh version:
+Automate the checks needed to publish the intended source under a fresh version:
 
-- valid, unused version on the authoritative remote;
-- clean worktree and index on the primary release branch;

+- the version has the adopted format and is unused locally and on the
+  authoritative remote;
+- the worktree and index are clean on the primary release branch;
+- the source being published is the exact candidate that passed validation,
+  including its matching release note;
+- the remote primary branch already identifies that candidate, or an atomic
+  source/tag push will advance it to that candidate without discarding remote
+  history; and
+- the tag identifies the validated candidate and only the intended refs are
+  published.
 
-Do not require remote CI success. Avoid an additional manual confirmation for
-each mechanical guard. Publish explicit refs rather than all local tags.
-A successful push is the completion signal; a failed or ambiguous push must be
-resolved against remote ref state before declaring success or retrying.
+Fetch the authoritative branch and tag state as needed for these checks.
+Do not force branch or tag updates to bypass a failed guard. Publish explicit
+refs rather than all local tags. Do not require CI success, publication-service
+availability checks, or a separate manual confirmation for each guard.
 
-## Immutability And Correction
+## Immutability And Failure Recovery
 
-Published version tags and published deliverables are immutable. Do not move,
-overwrite, recreate, or delete a published tag. Do not replace an artifact,
-image, package, checksum, signature, provenance statement, or release note
-under an already published version.
+Published version tags and published contents are immutable. Do not move,
+overwrite, recreate, or delete a published tag, or replace a published artifact,
+checksum, signature, provenance statement, or release note under that version.
+The checked-in note at the immutable tag is that release's historical record.
 
-If validation fails before publication, correct and commit the candidate, then
-rerun the release command. Validation must apply to the exact candidate. An
-unpublished local tag may be removed after confirming that it was never published
-or used by a release channel.
+If validation fails before publication, correct and commit the candidate and
+rerun the publication command. If a push fails or its outcome is ambiguous,
+inspect the authoritative remote before retrying. Remove an unpublished local
+tag only after confirming it was never published or used by a release channel.
+An unavailable remote leaves publication status unknown; do not overwrite a tag
+to resolve uncertainty.
 
-If a defect is discovered after publication, leave the published release intact. Correct the defect on the primary branch, choose a
-new patch version or other semantically appropriate new version, write a new
-matching release note, and perform the complete release procedure again.
+Transient network, authentication, CI, or consumer-availability failures do not
+by themselves require a new version. Asynchronous delivery may be retried from
+the same immutable tag. Missing artifacts may be published later, provided
+existing published contents are not replaced and the additions remain consistent
+with the tagged source and any already-published checksum manifest. If that
+cannot be achieved, publish a new version.
 
-A distribution channel's supported yank, deprecation, or advisory mechanism
-may warn consumers away from a defective release, but it must not replace that
-release's contents or reuse its version.
+A defect requiring changes to published source or contents requires a corrected
+commit, a new semantically appropriate version, a matching release note, and

+release without replacing its contents or reusing its version.
 
 ## Repository Release Procedure

+   remote;
+2. version and release-note preparation;
+3. one publication command with its selected local checks and automated guards;
+4. declared deliverables, required build targets, and automation responsibilities;
+5. the successful-push completion point and separately reported delivery status;
+   and
+6. failure handling, ambiguous-push recovery, and asynchronous delivery retries.
 
-## Audita Adaptations
-
-The maintainer approved these deviations from the base policy on 2026-09-23:
-
-- Audita's needs govern policy adaptation rather than strict template compliance.
-- Only Linux amd64 and arm64 are required; macOS arm64 is best effort.
-- A successful tag push completes the release; asynchronous CI cannot block it.
-- Gates are minimal, automated where practical, and avoid redundant validation
-  and human intervention.
-
-The [release procedure](../release.md) and its linked scripts implement these
-requirements. CI delivery remains asynchronous.
+Use copyable commands where practical. Keep optional diagnostics and consumer
+verification clearly optional. The procedure must not turn preparation work,
+ordinary change review, or post-publication investigation into additional
+release gates.

+We optimize for sufficient confidence in important behavior while minimizing friction on future development.
 
 ## Every test has a cost
 
-Testing is not an unqualified good. Every test imposes both an immediate cost and a continuing lifetime cost.
-
-A test must be:
-
-- written and reviewed;
-- understood by future maintainers and coding agents;
-- executed in local and CI workflows;
-- diagnosed when it fails;
-- updated when legitimate behavior changes;
-- maintained as fixtures, APIs, and dependencies evolve; and
-- removed or rewritten when it becomes redundant, brittle, misleading, or obsolete.
-
-Tests also create cognitive and architectural friction. They can constrain refactoring, duplicate policy, slow feedback loops, add noise to failures, and cause harmless implementation changes to require unrelated edits across the suite.
+Every test has an immediate and continuing cost: writing, review, execution,
+diagnosis, fixture maintenance, and updates when legitimate behavior changes.

-Apply this cost-benefit analysis at two levels:
+Evaluate that tradeoff at two levels:
 
 1. **Per test:** What realistic defect does this test detect, how consequential would that defect be, and is that protection worth the test's lifetime cost?
 2. **Across the suite:** Does this collection provide materially more confidence than a smaller, simpler suite would?
 
-The preferred test suite is a **lean suite that provides sufficient confidence in the risks that matter, without redundant or low-value tests**. We seek sufficient confidence with the least unnecessary testing friction, not the fewest possible tests.
+Some friction is intentional. Tests should make dangerous changes—such as breaking compatibility, corrupting data, violating security boundaries, or reintroducing subtle bugs—require deliberate review. Keep ordinary internal changes inexpensive.

 ## Regression tests
 
 A bug fix should normally include a regression test that fails before the fix and passes afterward.

-- test trivial private helpers already exercised through stable package behavior;
-- protect risks already covered more effectively elsewhere;

 - no longer correspond to a plausible failure mode.

-7. Could the implementation be refactored without changing the behavior and without editing this test?
-8. What should cause this test to fail?
-9. What legitimate changes should not cause this test to fail?
-10. What ongoing maintenance, execution, and diagnostic cost will the test impose?
-11. Is there a smaller or more direct test that protects the same risk?
-
-Do not add the test when its expected lifetime cost exceeds its expected protective value.
-
-When deciding not to test plausible behavior, record or be able to explain why the risk is low, already protected, obvious, reversible, or cheaper to detect elsewhere.
+1. Which requested behavior or established contract does it protect, and what realistic defect would violate it?
+2. How likely and consequential is that defect, and is it already protected elsewhere?
+3. What is the narrowest stable boundary that can test it clearly?
+4. Would a correct internal refactor or a change to an incidental default require test edits?
+5. Does its confidence justify its maintenance, execution, and diagnostic cost, or would a smaller test suffice?
 
 ## Definition of sufficient
 
 A test suite is sufficient when:
 
-- important contracts and invariants are protected;
-- meaningful boundaries and failure modes are exercised;
-- realistic and consequential regressions are credibly protected against silent recurrence;
-- behavior involving data integrity, destructive operations, compatibility, security, concurrency, idempotency, and recovery is credibly protected;
-- important external boundaries have realistic integration coverage;
-- representative complete workflows are tested;
-- failures provide useful signal rather than redundant noise;
-- legitimate internal changes usually do not require test edits; and
+- important requested behavior and established contracts are protected against realistic, consequential failures;
+- boundaries and component interactions have coverage where they introduce meaningful risks not protected elsewhere;
+- failures provide useful, distinct signals;
+- tests usually remain stable through legitimate internal changes; and
 - additional tests would mostly repeat existing protection or preserve inconsequential implementation details.
 
-Sufficiency is a risk judgment, not a coverage percentage or test count. Reassess it as the application, its users, and the consequences of failure evolve.
-
-The governing rule is:
-
-> Test heavily where failure is consequential, subtle, or difficult to detect after the fact. Test lightly where failure is obvious, reversible, and inexpensive—and retain no test whose lifetime cost exceeds the confidence it provides.
+Reassess sufficiency as the application, its users, and the consequences of
+failure evolve.

 # Releasing Audita
 
-The [release policy](policy/release.md) defines versioning, supported platforms,
-immutability, and success. This runbook implements it with
-[scripts/release.sh](../scripts/release.sh). Publication ends after a successful
-source/tag push; binary delivery runs asynchronously.
+The [release policy](policy/release.md) owns release requirements. This runbook
+uses the native commands in [scripts/release.sh](../scripts/release.sh), which
+invokes the module-selected ReleaseKit tool. A confirmed source tag completes
+the release; Woodpecker reports binary delivery separately.
 
 ## Prerequisites
 
-Use Bash, Git, and Go 1.25 or newer (CI uses Go 1.25), with dependencies available
-locally or downloadable. Tests themselves are offline. Work from a
-checkout of `main` with permission to push that branch and tags to `origin`.
-For this repository, `origin` is `https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/audita.git`.
-The script uses the checkout's configured `origin`; set it correctly before use.
-The remote must support atomic pushes. No CI credentials or Mac are needed locally.
+Use Bash and Git. The authoritative remote is `origin`,
+which must point to `https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/audita.git`; the
+primary branch is `main`. Source publication needs no delivery credential.
+Woodpecker uses the existing `GITEA_RELEASE_TOKEN` secret for delivery.
 
-CI uses the existing `GITEA_RELEASE_TOKEN` secret for asynchronous asset delivery.
-macOS arm64 is a best-effort development environment; no macOS binary is published.
-
-## Prepare the Candidate
-
-Choose an unused version following the policy. Write
-`docs/releases/<version>.md`, beginning with `# Audita <version>`, followed by a
-short summary and any compatibility or upgrade instructions relevant to the
-release. There are no mandatory boilerplate sections. Update affected canonical
-documentation with behavior changes.
-
-Commit the intended changes, including the note, on `main`. The release script
-requires a clean index and worktree and does not create commits. There is no
-separate approval round. Published notes describe their tagged release; existing
-release history does not need to be reconstructed.
-
-## Validate and Publish
-
-From the repository root, substitute the chosen version:
+The source-build minimum is Go 1.26.0, declared in [go.mod](../go.mod).
+This minimum is required by the selected ReleaseKit dependency.
+Distributed executables do not require a Go installation. The selected release
+toolchain is Go 1.26.8, matching the current Woodpecker image and distributed
+runtime notices. Use that local installation for tool bootstrap, candidate
+validation, and release builds. Replace the installation path below with its
+actual directory:
 
 ```sh
-bash scripts/release.sh --publish v0.2.0
+export PATH="/path/to/go1.26.8/bin:$PATH"
+export GOTOOLCHAIN=local
+go version
 ```
 
-This single invocation:
+Record the reported toolchain with the validation results. The
+[release policy](policy/release.md#consumer-minimum-and-release-toolchain)
+governs the distinction between the consumer minimum and release toolchain,
+support across a Go series, and versioning of minimum increases. When selecting
+a different release toolchain, update the CI image and applicable runtime
+attribution together; a newer build patch alone need not raise the minimum.
 
-1. Checks the version, branch, clean candidate, matching note title, and tag absence.
-2. Runs the default offline test suite once, then builds both required Linux targets
-   in a temporary directory using the same build script as CI.
-3. Checks that the candidate and worktree are unchanged and that it includes the
-   current `origin/main` history.
-4. Creates the version tag at that commit and atomically pushes the exact source
-   commit to `main` and the exact tag to `origin`.
-5. Reports release success and exits without polling CI or checking asset availability.
-
-To validate a prepared candidate without remote access, creating a tag, or pushing:
+Prepare dependencies before offline candidate validation:
 
 ```sh
-bash scripts/release.sh --check v0.2.0
+GOWORK=off GOTOOLCHAIN=local go mod download
 ```
 
-This is an optional diagnostic command, not a required step before `--publish`.
-Publication validates within its own invocation; it does not use persistent cached
-results. Both modes require the candidate note and a clean `main` checkout.
+If dependency preparation changes `go.mod` or `go.sum`, include those changes in
+the committed candidate. ReleaseKit's CLI is registered as a Go tool dependency;
+`go mod tidy` retains its dependencies and checksums. The release wrapper changes
+to the repository root and invokes `go tool releasekit` with workspace discovery
+and automatic toolchain downloads disabled. Go builds or reuses the selected
+tool from its normal build cache. Tool preparation precedes offline candidate
+validation.
 
-## Artifact Delivery
+## Prepare and publish the candidate
 
-[Woodpecker](../.woodpecker/release.yml) runs on tag events. It invokes
-[scripts/build-release.sh](../scripts/build-release.sh), then publishes:
+Choose an unused version under the [release policy](policy/release.md), write
+`docs/releases/<version>.md`, and begin it with `# Audita <version>`. Include a
+short summary, relevant compatibility or upgrade instructions, and the required
+`COPYRIGHT | LICENSE | ATTRIBUTION` footer with links for the selected version.
+Update affected canonical documentation with behavior changes.
+
+End each note with this footer, substituting its complete tag for `<version>`:
+
+```markdown
+[COPYRIGHT](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/audita/src/tag/<version>/COPYRIGHT) | [LICENSE](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/audita/src/tag/<version>/LICENSE) | [ATTRIBUTION](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/audita/src/tag/<version>/docs/oss/attribution.md)
+```
+
+Commit the complete candidate on `main`, including the release note, then push
+the branch first:
+
+```sh
+git push origin main
+```
+
+Record the candidate commit. Before publication, remote `main` must identify
+that exact commit. ReleaseKit checks this along with the clean candidate, note,
+version, and remote tag state.
+
+Publish from the repository root, substituting the selected version:
+
+```sh
+bash scripts/release.sh publish VERSION
+```
+
+The command runs `go test -mod=readonly -count=1 ./...` once with module and
+toolchain network access disabled, builds the profile's Linux amd64 and arm64
+targets, and checks the native version output. It creates an annotated tag whose
+message comes from the committed note, then pushes the exact tag object. A
+successful publication completes the source release without waiting for CI or
+checking artifact availability.
+
+`bash scripts/release.sh check VERSION` is an optional local diagnostic. It
+does not inspect remote availability or publish a tag, and it is not a required
+step before `publish`, which performs its own candidate validation.
+
+The wrapper preserves ReleaseKit's exit status: `0` means confirmed publication;
+`1` means a known validation or publication failure/conflict; `2` means usage,
+profile, or version input error; and `3` means the push outcome remains unknown.
+
+## Binary delivery
+
+Woodpecker runs ReleaseKit's `ci-deliver` command for tags under
+`refs/tags/v*`. The tagged `go.mod` selects the ReleaseKit version, and
+`releasekit.json` supplies Audita's build and delivery settings:
 
 - `audita-<version>-linux-amd64`
 - `audita-<version>-linux-arm64`
 - `SHA256SUMS`
 
-Builds disable CGO and use the shared script's release flags. The version is in the
-asset name and source tag; Audita has no CLI version command. Cross-compilation
-checks compilation, not native execution on each architecture.
+Before running Go, the workflow fetches and verifies the event tag, checks it
+out detached, and confirms the source tree is clean. It peels the event object
+ID to its commit before comparing it with the tag's commit, accepting both
+annotated tag objects and commit IDs from Woodpecker. It copies the tagged
+`go.mod` and `go.sum` into temporary module metadata outside the checkout. Go
+confirms that this configuration selects ReleaseKit, then builds its CLI using
+an alternate `-modfile`. The bootstrap executable and temporary files remain
+outside the tagged source. The workflow runs with the selected Go 1.26.8 image,
+`GOWORK=off`, and `GOTOOLCHAIN=local`.
 
-The CI job status and logs show delivery progress or failure. Assets appear on
-the matching Gitea release page when delivery succeeds. A successful tag push
-must not be reported as confirmation that these files are available.
+Delivery uses prepared-checkout mode to verify the existing tag, HEAD, and clean
+worktree without repeating the bootstrap's fetch and checkout.
 
-Consumers can download the binary for their Linux architecture and `SHA256SUMS`
-from that page, check its listed SHA-256 digest with `sha256sum`, and make it
-executable. Optional consumer checks are not maintainer release gates. Digests
-detect file mismatches; they are not an independent signature of authenticity.
-
-## Failure and Retry
-
-**Local validation fails:** correct the issue, commit any changes, and rerun the
-publication command. A failure before tag creation publishes nothing. Temporary
-local build files are removed on exit.
-
-**Push fails or the connection is interrupted:** the script retains the local tag
-and reports failure rather than guessing whether publication succeeded. Inspect
-remote state with the actual version:
+The resulting executable receives:
 
 ```sh
-git rev-parse 'v0.2.0^{commit}'
-git ls-remote origin refs/heads/main refs/tags/v0.2.0
+"$${bootstrap_dir}/releasekit" ci-deliver \
+  --repo "$${CI_WORKSPACE}" \
+  --prepared \
+  --commit "$${expected_commit}" \
+  "$${CI_COMMIT_TAG}"
 ```
 
-If the remote tag identifies the intended candidate and its source is on remote
-`main`, the release succeeded; no CI waiting is needed. An atomic push normally
-updates both refs or neither. If `main` has advanced since publication, fetch it
-and check candidate ancestry rather than requiring tip equality.
+The workflow maps the existing `GITEA_RELEASE_TOKEN` secret to
+`RELEASEKIT_GITEA_TOKEN`. The complete checked-in release note, including its
+licensing footer, supplies the hosted release body. Delivery runs independently
+after source publication; its status and logs report delivery progress or
+failure.
 
-If the tag is absent remotely and was never published or used by a release
-channel, remove only that unpublished local tag (`git tag -d v0.2.0`), resolve
-any rejected branch update, and rerun the command. If the remote tag has a
-different target, do not overwrite it; choose a fresh version. Never force a
-branch or tag update to bypass the guards.
+ReleaseKit handles content-aware retries and retained-artifact recovery. See
+the pinned [publication recovery guide](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/ReleaseKit/src/tag/v0.4.1/docs/consumers/publish.md)
+and [delivery guide](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/ReleaseKit/src/tag/v0.4.1/docs/consumers/delivery.md)
+for those mechanics. A delivery failure does not undo a confirmed source
+release. Retry the same immutable tag after resolving the reported state; do not
+replace published files or a checksum manifest.
 
-**CI delivery fails:** the release remains successful. Inspect the failed tag
-job's logs and retry that same tagged job for a transient failure. Publication is
-configured to skip existing filenames and not overwrite assets. Keep the same
-source and build environment when retrying; inspect any existing assets/checksum
-manifest before filling gaps. Do not regenerate and replace a published manifest
-or binary. If an existing manifest cannot describe the missing rebuilt assets,
-use a new version instead. A pipeline or source defect also requires a corrected
-commit and new version. An outage does not require moving the tag.
+## Failure and recovery
 
-**A released source defect is discovered:** fix it on `main` and publish a new
-appropriate version with a note explaining the correction. Leave the old tag and
-published files intact.
+Fix validation failures in a new committed candidate, then rerun `publish`.
+After a failed push, ReleaseKit retains the local annotated tag and reports the
+captured authoritative endpoint and publication state. Resolve the result
+against that endpoint before retrying. An exact remote tag-object match, with
+its source available on remote `main`, can confirm publication. If the remote
+state cannot be read, the result remains unknown; do not remove or replace the
+tag while uncertain. Follow the pinned [publication recovery guide](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/ReleaseKit/src/tag/v0.4.1/docs/consumers/publish.md)
+for object-level recovery details.
 
-## Maintaining the Release Workflow
-
-The shared build script keeps local and CI build settings aligned. Tests in
-[scripts/release_test.go](../scripts/release_test.go) exercise publication against
-temporary local Git remotes, including guard failures and rejected pushes, with
-Go execution stubbed to avoid recursive builds/tests. They run in `go test ./...`.
-Changes to CI delivery should preserve explicit asset names, checksums, and
-non-overwriting publication. CI delivery is separate from the local success path.
+A source-release success and artifact-delivery status are separate. For a
+partial or uncertain delivery, inspect the job output and follow the pinned
+[delivery recovery guidance](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/ReleaseKit/src/tag/v0.4.1/docs/consumers/delivery.md).
+A source or published-content correction requires a new appropriate version;
+leave the original tag and its contents intact.

+# Audita v2.0.0
+
+Audita v2 adopts ConfigKit for configuration and PromptKit for LLM execution,
+adds resilient processing and focused reports, and improves correction prompts
+and validation. This is an intentional breaking release; existing installations
+must migrate their configuration and invocation settings.
+
+- Configuration uses `version: 2` YAML, named backends, PromptKit model profiles,
+  and optional named overlays. Offline configuration validation and inspection
+  expose effective settings, selected profiles, and provenance.
+- Proposal and validation calls share per-backend capacity. PromptKit handles
+  transport retries and structural response repair within bounded operation
+  timeouts.
+- Transcript chunks remain fixed through the LLM stages. Recoverable model
+  failures preserve progress and allow other work to continue. If every LLM
+  operation fails recoverably, processing still produces the deterministically
+  normalized transcript without LLM corrections. Cancellation, application
+  failures, and required output failures remain fatal.
+- Ordinary output includes `errors.yml`, `recoveries.yml`, and `report.md`, plus
+  a brief completion summary. Detailed correction and LLM diagnostics are opt-in
+  with `--debug`; `--reporting=false` suppresses all three ordinary reports.
+- Empty replacement text supports validated span deletion while preserving a
+  nonblank segment. Validator responses retain usable decisions despite missing,
+  duplicate, or extraneous entries; unavailable decisions never approve an edit.
+- Prompts use short request-local references, consistent shared instructions,
+  and relevant neighboring/glossary context for validation. Spoken-word cleanup
+  can reduce accidental protected-name repetition subject to validation.
+
+Follow the [v2 migration guide](../migrations/v2.md) before upgrading. Version-1
+configuration, implicit environment-setting overlays, retired model/credential/
+concurrency flags, and the former JSON report interface have no compatibility
+shim. Start from the maintained examples linked in that guide, configure profiles
+and credential references, and validate the new configuration. Update report and
+debug consumers for the [current output contract](../integrations/output-files.md).
+
+Linux amd64 and arm64 remain the production targets; macOS arm64 is best effort
+for development. Binary and checksum delivery runs asynchronously after source/tag
+publication, as described in the [release procedure](../release.md).

+# Audita v3.0.0
+
+Audita v3 adopts native configuration inheritance and layered PromptKit
+definitions, and allows transcript and report destinations to be selected
+independently. This is an intentional breaking release: existing PromptKit
+profile files require migration from the v2 release format.
+
+## Changes
+
+- ConfigKit is updated from v0.4.2 to v0.5.0. Application configuration supports
+  native sibling inheritance, and configuration explanations include value-free
+  inheritance provenance.
+- PromptKit is updated from v0.11.2 to v0.12.0, with both backend catalogs at
+  `v3.20260930.0`. Native keyed definitions support profile inheritance and
+  operator prompt overrides. The selected `profiles_dir` can contain profiles,
+  backends, and prompts; application backend endpoints, capacity, and credentials
+  remain authoritative.
+- Effective definitions and referenced prompt message contents are captured at
+  runtime construction. Consumed host configuration and message files are
+  protected from output collisions. Audita retains its per-call schemas, domain
+  validators, retry and repair budgets, and resilient processing behavior.
+- An explicit `--report-dir` now selects reports for either file or stdout
+  transcript output. File output without that flag still places reports beside
+  the transcript. This supports Narratio's independent output destinations;
+  debug capture remains independently selectable.
+
+## Upgrading from v2
+
+1. Convert each old PromptKit profile to a keyed definition under
+   `profiles: {<profile-id>: ...}`, remove its inner `id`, and replace
+   `base_profile` with `extends`. Profile IDs come from mapping keys rather than
+   filenames. No compatibility loader or automatic conversion is provided.
+2. Review explicit zero, omitted, and null generation controls. For example,
+   `temperature: 0` now sends an explicit zero, omission leaves the control
+   unspecified, and null suppresses an inherited control. A zero profile timeout
+   disables PromptKit's generation deadline; Audita's operation deadline still
+   applies.
+3. Select a configuration root whose final definitions are valid. PromptKit now
+   validates unused definitions too, including backend references, and conflicting
+   values within a directory source group are errors. The maintained examples
+   use separate [local](../../examples/profiles/local/) and
+   [service](../../examples/profiles/service/) roots. Runtime source edits take
+   effect on the next invocation.
+4. Rename any application backend literally named `extends` and update its
+   profile references. ConfigKit now reserves that key for inheritance.
+5. Validate the migrated installation with
+   `audita config validate --config /path/to/config.yml`, including any selected
+   testing overlay. Application configuration continues to use `version: 2`.
+
+The [configuration reference](../config.md#promptkit-profiles-and-operator-prompts)
+contains the migrated format and presence rules. Start from the maintained
+[local](../../examples/minimal-config.yml),
+[service](../../examples/production-config.yml), or
+[application inheritance](../../examples/configkit-inheritance.yml) examples.
+The [CLI reference](../cli.md) describes report selection, and the
+[release procedure](../release.md) describes source publication and asynchronous
+Linux binary delivery.

+  invokes the module-selected Go tool, and CI selects the tool from the tagged
+  module metadata. Prepared-checkout delivery reuses the tag checkout already
+  verified during CI bootstrap. Source publication still completes at a
+  successful tag push; Linux binary delivery remains asynchronous.
+- Release builds and CI use Go 1.26.8, with corresponding runtime attribution
+  updated. The source-build minimum is tracked separately from that build
+  toolchain patch version.
+
+## Upgrading from v3.0.1
+
+Source builders must upgrade from the previous Go 1.25.5 minimum to **Go 1.26.0
+or newer**, including any build environments still using Go 1.25. Maintainers
+should follow the updated [release procedure](../release.md) for toolchain setup,
+publication, and delivery recovery.
+
+Go module consumers must use the v3 module path. For example:
+`go install gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/audita/v3/cmd/audita@v3.1.0`. This
+aligns the module path with the v3 release line. Downloaded binaries and
+commands run from a source checkout are unaffected.
+
+Users of distributed Linux binaries need no Go installation. No configuration,
+profile, transcript-format, or command-behavior migration is required for this
+release.

+# Audita v3.1.1
+
+This patch fixes the Woodpecker bootstrap failure that prevented Linux binary
+delivery for v3.1.0. Audita's transcript processing and configuration are unchanged.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Resolve Woodpecker's tag-event object ID to its source commit before checking
+  the tagged checkout and invoking ReleaseKit. Annotated tag events previously
+  failed a comparison between the tag object and commit, stopping the workflow
+  before binary builds began.
+- Add offline regression coverage for annotated and lightweight tag events,
+  including rejection of an unrelated source commit.
+
+No configuration, profile, transcript-format, or command-behavior migration is
+required from v3.1.0. The Go source-build minimum remains 1.26.0. Linux amd64 and
+arm64 binary delivery follows the existing asynchronous
+[release procedure](../release.md#binary-delivery).

+# Deferred Feature Work
+
+**Last updated:** 2026-10-11
+
+**Status:** Deferred or exploratory work; not implemented or scheduled. These
+entries preserve work beyond completed feature and library upgrades.
+Each entry states its intent; inclusion does not commit us to
+implementing every capability.
+
+## Domain-Aware Response Recovery
+
+The implemented [partial-success decision reconciliation](../internal/validators.md#llm-validator-batching)
+preserves usable decisions without another model call. Guided recovery remains
+deferred pending evidence from failures that remain. General per-entry
+salvage from structurally invalid responses is also a separate design question;
+the accepted reconciliation feature retains whole-response structural validation.
+
+Consider bounded feedback and regeneration for model responses that satisfy the
+structural schema but leave requested decisions unavailable after reconciliation.
+The goal would be to recover more usable work before excluding affected
+candidates, when doing so materially improves outcomes.
+
+This capability is explicitly deferred. Current behavior retains PromptKit
+structural repair and per-candidate reconciliation; unavailable requested
+decisions produce errors while other candidates can succeed.
+
+Before implementation, define the Audita/PromptKit ownership boundary, which
+checks are eligible for feedback, how feedback identifies defects without exposing
+secrets, and how regeneration fits bounded budgets and operation deadlines. Reuse
+shared library capabilities where appropriate; do not introduce an uncoordinated
+outer retry loop that multiplies existing retry/repair budgets.
+
+Ordinary editorial rejection is a valid decision, not a reason to regenerate until
+an edit is approved. Recovery must preserve required validation, candidate identity,
+partial-success safety, and truthful error/recovery reporting. Validate with
+controlled responses that distinguish recoverable protocol defects from valid
+negative decisions. Exact APIs, budgets, and sequencing remain undecided.
+
+## Independent Whole-Pipeline Traversal by Chunk
+
+Explore allowing each fixed chunk to advance through its ordered stages without
+waiting for other chunks to finish the current stage. This could reduce waiting
+behind a slow chunk and improve utilization while preserving stage order within
+each chunk and deterministic final recombination.
+
+The resilience feature deliberately retains stage barriers: finish a stage across
+chunks before advancing to the next stage. Fixed boundaries alone do not authorize
+independent traversal.
+
+A future design must establish that stages do not depend on other chunks' evolving
+state, preserve stable identities and partial-success rules, and continue to share
+PromptKit's per-backend capacity across all roles and stages. Reporting must remain
+deterministic despite different completion orders, and fatal cancellation must
+still stop and join active work. Assess whether the scheduling change materially
+improves real workloads before introducing additional orchestration machinery.
+No new scheduler, global limiter, or execution mode is selected by this entry.
+
+## Whole-Segment Removal
+
+Potential future work, subject first to evaluating whether it is worth implementing
+at all. Empty replacement text and deletion of a span within a surviving segment
+are covered by the implemented [span-deletion behavior](../internal/modules.md#proposal-generation-ownership).
+That feature does not remove segment records or permit blank resulting segments.
+
+Before designing segment removal, review representative production examples to
+establish whether whole-segment deletion is a meaningful unmet need. An empty
+replacement alone does not establish that intent: it can express ordinary filler
+or punctuation deletion within a larger segment. Assess how often genuinely
+expendable whole segments occur after deterministic normalization, the transcript
+quality benefit of removing them, and the risk of losing substantive speech.
+Compare those benefits with the implementation and ongoing maintenance costs.
+Retaining the segment and declining the edit is a valid outcome if the benefit is
+small or uncertain. No numerical adoption threshold is selected.
+
+Only if that evaluation supports proceeding should a separate feature design
+choose a representation, authorization and validation rules, and reporting
+semantics. It must address meaning preservation and the effects on segment
+identity, timestamps, fixed chunks, subsequent stages, recombination, and output
+consumers. Do not infer authorization to remove a segment from an empty string
+or introduce segment-removal machinery as part of span-deletion consistency.
+
+## Library Inspection and Configuration Comparison
+
+ConfigKit and PromptKit provide effective-configuration comparison; PromptKit
+also provides prompt/profile listings and contextual prompt requirement
+inspection. Exposing these capabilities in Audita is deferred until a concrete
+operator or development need arises. The dependency upgrade did not select new
+inspection commands.
+
+If a need emerges, define command ownership, selection syntax, report scope, and
+disclosure before implementation. Reuse the libraries' public APIs and consider
+shared CLI conventions alongside any separately selected CommandKit adoption.
+Requirement discovery is advisory evidence rather than proof of execution
+readiness; an empty configuration diff does not prove equivalent execution.
+The library-upgrade review remains available in
+[Git history](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/audita/src/commit/4c5536ab78c72dea58d03b3c51834138d429a59a/docs/roadmap/imports.md).

-# Runtime Behavior Decisions
-
-**Last updated:** 2026-09-23
-
-The documentation migration identified these existing behaviors for separate
-product consideration. No behavior change is approved or implemented by this list.
-
-- Decide whether the `never` retention selection should delete successful-run
-  diagnostics; current behavior is documented in
-  [operations](../operations.md#retention-behavior).
-- Decide whether an explicit zero retry count should disable retries; current
-  adapter behavior is documented in [configuration](../config.md).
-- Decide whether missing or null input timestamps should be rejected; current
-  decoding is documented in the [input contract](../integrations/transcript-glossary-files.md).
-
-These decisions are independent of the completed documentation migration and
-release workflow.
