+
+This project uses codebase-memory-mcp to maintain a knowledge graph of the codebase.
+ALWAYS prefer MCP graph tools over grep/glob/file-search for code discovery.
+
+## Priority Order
+1. `search_graph` — find functions, classes, routes, variables by pattern
+2. `trace_path` — trace who calls a function or what it calls
+3. `get_code_snippet` — read specific function/class source code
+4. `query_graph` — run Cypher queries for complex patterns
+5. `get_architecture` — high-level project summary
+
+## When to fall back to grep/glob
+- Searching for string literals, error messages, config values
+- Searching non-code files (Dockerfiles, shell scripts, configs)
+- When MCP tools return insufficient results
+
+## Examples
+- Find a handler: `search_graph(name_pattern=".*OrderHandler.*")`
+- Who calls it: `trace_path(function_name="OrderHandler", direction="inbound")`
+- Read source: `get_code_snippet(qualified_name="pkg/orders.OrderHandler")`

-GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
-Version 3, 29 June 2007
-
-Copyright © 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.

+                    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,

+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

+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

+
+            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

+
+  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

 # narratio
 
-`narratio` is a Go orchestration application for processing D&D session audio into transcripts and generated artifacts.
+Narratio is a stage-driven Go orchestrator for turning D&D session audio into
+polished transcripts, validated Notarius extraction lanes, and generated
+artifacts.
 
-## Current Implementation
+It runs a deterministic workflow with manifest-driven continuation, remote
+publish, and restore support.
 
-Implemented now:
-
-- strict config loading/validation (`pipeline.yml` and `session.yml`)
-- local workspace/session layout, locking, and manifest persistence
-- resumable stage control (`run`, `plan`, `resume`, `run-stage`, `status`)
-- real `prepare`, `transcribe`, `merge`, `polish`, `normalize`, `trim`, and `analyze` stages
-- real WhisperX, Seriatim, and Audita adapters
-- real Scriptorium subprocess adapter
-- optional Scriptorium render diagnostics (`render_debug`)
-
-Not implemented yet:
-
-- `archive` stage behavior
-- `notify` stage behavior
-- additional analyze artifacts beyond `session_recap`
-- generic DAG orchestration
-
-## Config Files
-
-Narratio expects two YAML files:
-
-- `pipeline.yml`: pipeline/workspace settings
-- `session.yml`: per-session settings
-
-Pipeline config lookup for CLI commands:
-
-- if `--config <path>` is provided, Narratio uses that path
-- if `--config` is omitted, Narratio searches in this order:
-  - `/usr/local/etc/narratio/pipeline.yml`
-  - `/etc/narratio/pipeline.yml`
-
-Optional secrets-from-files config:
-
-- `pipeline.secrets.env_dir` may point to a directory of secret files
-- each top-level file with an env-var-style name is loaded as an environment variable:
-  - file name = env var name
-  - file contents = env var value (trailing newline/CRLF trimmed)
-- process environment wins: existing env vars are not overwritten
-- if configured, Narratio fails fast when `env_dir` is missing/unreadable
-- relative `env_dir` values resolve from Narratio’s current working directory
-
-YAML decoding is strict (`KnownFields(true)`), so unknown fields fail fast.
-
-## Canonical Stage Order
-
-1. `prepare`
-2. `transcribe`
-3. `merge`
-4. `polish`
-5. `normalize`
-6. `trim`
-7. `analyze`
-8. `archive`
-9. `notify`
-
-## Transcript Tiers
-
-- `transcripts/merged.json`: canonical deterministic merged transcript from Seriatim merge
-- `transcripts/processed.json`: full raw Audita-polished transcript output
-- `transcripts/normalized.json`: Seriatim-normalized transcript from the normalize stage
-- `transcripts/trimmed.json`: gameplay-only normalized polished transcript from trim stage
-
-## Audita Configuration
-
-`pipeline.audita` configures the real Audita subprocess adapter used by `polish`.
-
-Required:
-
-- `binary`
-- `timeout`
-- `base_url`
-- `model`
-
-Optional:
-
-- `llm_api_key_env` (when set, Narratio requires that env var and passes it to Audita as `AUDITA_LLM_API_KEY`)
-- `modules` override list (when empty/omitted, Narratio does not pass `--modules`)
-- `transcript_description`
-- `config_path`
-- `output_schema` (`bare-segments` or `audita-v1`)
-- `work_dir_retention` (`always`, `auto`, or `never`)
-- `total_llm_concurrency` (> 0 when provided)
-- `proposal_llm_concurrency` (> 0 when provided)
-- `validation_model`
-- `validation_llm_concurrency` (> 0 when provided)
-- `report` (defaults to `true`)
-
-Narratio passes only configured optional Audita flags. Omitted optional values are left to Audita runtime defaults.
-
-## Normalize Configuration
-
-`pipeline.normalize` is optional. When omitted, Narratio defaults to:
-
-- `output_path: transcripts/normalized.json`
-- `output_schema: seriatim-intermediate`
-- `report: true`
-
-Allowed `normalize.output_schema` values:
-
-- `seriatim-minimal`
-- `seriatim-intermediate`
-- `seriatim-full`
-
-`normalize.output_path` is treated as session-workdir-relative when not absolute.
-
-Normalize stage behavior summary:
-
-- normalize runs after `polish` and before `trim`
-- normalize resolves `transcripts/processed.json`
-- normalize runs Seriatim `normalize` to produce `transcripts/normalized.json`
-- normalize diagnostics are written to:
-  - `artifacts/seriatim.normalize.report.json` (when enabled)
-  - `logs/seriatim.normalize.stdout.log`
-  - `logs/seriatim.normalize.stderr.log`
-  - `config/seriatim.normalize.generated.yml`
-
-## Trim Configuration
-
-`pipeline.trim` is optional. If omitted, no trim config is loaded. If `trim.enabled` is omitted, it defaults to `false`.
-
-When `trim.enabled: true`:
-
-- `trim.output_path` is required
-- `trim.bounds.prompt_id` is required
-- `trim.bounds.transcript_input_name` is required
-- `trim.bounds.output_path` is required
-- `trim.bounds.timeout` must be a valid Go duration when provided
-- `trim.bounds.render_debug: true` requires `trim.bounds.render_output_path`
-- `trim.bounds.profile_id` may be empty to use the prompt default profile
-
-Trim paths are treated as session-workdir-relative when not absolute.
-
-Example trim config:
-
-```yaml
-trim:
-  enabled: true
-  output_path: "transcripts/trimmed.json"
-  bounds:
-    prompt_id: "dnd_session.bounds"
-    profile_id: ""
-    transcript_input_name: "transcript"
-    output_path: "artifacts/session_bounds.json"
-    timeout: "10m"
-    render_debug: false
-    render_output_path: "artifacts/session_bounds.render.json"
-  seriatim:
-    report: false
+```sh
+narratio run 2026-04-04
 ```
 
-Trim behavior summary:
+This requires resolvable `pipeline.yml`, `campaign.yml`, and concrete
+`session.yml` files or their explicit command-line alternatives.
 
-- trim discovers and validates `transcripts/normalized.json`
-- trim uses Scriptorium bounds (`dnd_session.bounds` by example config) to produce `artifacts/session_bounds.json`
-- bounds IDs are validated against the same normalized transcript ID space that Seriatim trim will consume
-- trim converts bounds to Seriatim keep selector (for example `10-868`) and runs Seriatim trim
-- if trim is disabled, Narratio copies normalized transcript to trimmed transcript and records `trim_action=copy_disabled`

-## Scriptorium Configuration
+Narratio is licensed under the [GPL v3.0 or later](COPYRIGHT).
 
-`pipeline.scriptorium` is optional. When present, Narratio validates and uses it for analyze-stage artifact generation.
-
-Key points:
-
-- `scriptorium.binary` is required when section is present
-- `scriptorium.config_path` is optional
-- `scriptorium.timeout` defaults to `10m` when omitted
-- `scriptorium.render_debug` enables render diagnostics globally
-- artifacts are configured under `scriptorium.artifacts` (map shape supports multiple artifacts)
-- enabled artifacts require `prompt_id` and `output_path`
-- artifact `render_debug` may override global render setting
-- `vars` currently support boolean and string values
-
-Example `session_recap` artifact definition:
-
-```yaml
-scriptorium:
-  binary: "scriptorium"
-  config_path: "/etc/scriptorium/config.yml"
-  timeout: "10m"
-  render_debug: false
-
-  artifacts:
-    session_recap:
-      enabled: true
-      prompt_id: "dnd.session_recap"
-      profile_id: "local-quality" # optional
-      output_path: "artifacts/session_recap.md"
-      timeout: "10m"
-      # render_debug: true # optional per-artifact override
-
-      inputs:
-        transcript:
-          source: "trimmed_transcript"
-          required: true
-
-        previous_recap:
-          source: "previous_session_artifact"
-          artifact: "session_recap"
-          path: "" # optional; set when available
-          required: false
-
-      vars:
-        session_id: true
-        session_date: true
-        campaign_name: true
-        previous_session_id: true
-        output_kind: "session_recap"
-```
-
-Prompt IDs and profile IDs are configuration values. They are not hardcoded in analyze-stage logic.
-
-Do not put secrets in `pipeline.yml`. If API-key behavior is configured, use env var names only.
-
-If `pipeline.secrets.env_dir` is configured, keep only references and secret files there; secret values are still not written to manifests, generated configs, or Narratio-managed logs.
-
-## Scriptorium Runtime Behavior
-
-Narratio integrates with Scriptorium through the public CLI subprocess contract:
-
-- generation: `scriptorium run`
-- diagnostics/testing: `scriptorium render --format json` when `render_debug` is enabled
-
-For the initial implementation, only `session_recap` generation is supported.
-
-Analyze-stage session recap behavior:
-
-- available transcript input sources for configured artifacts: `processed_transcript`, `normalized_transcript`, `trimmed_transcript`
-- session recap should use gameplay-only transcript input (`source: trimmed_transcript`)
-- Narratio resolves `trimmed_transcript` from trim manifest output (`transcript_trimmed`) or fallback `transcripts/trimmed.json`
-- Narratio resolves `normalized_transcript` from normalize manifest output (`transcript_normalized`) or fallback `transcripts/normalized.json`
-- missing trimmed transcript fails clearly and advises running trim stage first
-- `normalized_transcript` is the preferred full-transcript source for future table/meta-analysis artifacts
-- `processed_transcript` remains supported for advanced/debug use cases
-- optionally includes `previous_recap` when configured and resolvable
-- omits optional previous recap when unavailable
-- fails if required inputs are missing
-- validates output file exists and is non-empty
-
-Expected session output paths:
-
-- `artifacts/session_recap.md`
-- `logs/scriptorium.session_recap.stdout.log`
-- `logs/scriptorium.session_recap.stderr.log`
-- `config/scriptorium.session_recap.generated.yml`
-- `artifacts/session_recap.render.json` when render diagnostics are enabled
-
-## Examples
-
-Starter files:
-
-- `examples/pipeline.minimal.yml`
-- `examples/session.minimal.yml`
-- `examples/speakers.yml`
-
-## Commands
-
-Run tests:
-
-```bash
-go test ./...
-```
-
-Plan a run:
-
-```bash
-go run ./cmd/narratio plan --session examples/session.minimal.yml
-```
-
-Use `--config <path>` to override default pipeline lookup when needed.
-
-Run full pipeline:
-
-```bash
-go run ./cmd/narratio run --config examples/pipeline.minimal.yml --session examples/session.minimal.yml
-```
-
-Run analyze only:
-
-```bash
-go run ./cmd/narratio run-stage --config examples/pipeline.minimal.yml --session examples/session.minimal.yml analyze
-```
-
-## Operational Note
-
-Checksum-based stale detection is not implemented yet.
-
-If prepared inputs or prompt/runtime config change, rerun the appropriate upstream stages before relying on downstream artifacts.
-
-Examples:
-
-- glossary/autocorrect/speaker-context changes: rerun at least `merge`, `polish`, `normalize`, `trim`, and `analyze`
-- trim bounds prompt/profile/config changes: rerun at least `normalize`, `trim`, and `analyze`
-- session recap prompt/profile/input-source changes: rerun `analyze`
-
-## Roadmap
-
-Near-term roadmap:
-
-- extend analyze to additional configured artifacts
-- support workflows where later artifacts consume earlier generated artifacts
-- keep orchestration explicit without a generic DAG engine
-- implement archive and notify backends

-# Narratio Architecture
-
-## 1. Purpose
-
-`narratio` is a Go orchestrator for D&D session processing. It runs a stage-based local pipeline from audio input through transcript processing and artifact generation, with manifest-based skip/force/resume behavior.
-
-Narratio integrates with Scriptorium through the **public CLI** (`scriptorium run` and `scriptorium render`) via synchronous subprocess execution.
-
-## 2. Current Status
-
-Implemented:
-
-- strict `pipeline.yml` + `session.yml` loading with strict YAML field checking (`KnownFields(true)`)
-- local workspace/session layout, lock file handling, artifact path helpers, checksums, and atomic writes
-- manifest store and stage status transitions for resumable runs
-- real `prepare`, `transcribe`, `merge`, and `polish` stages
-- real WhisperX HTTP adapter
-- real Seriatim subprocess adapter
-- real Audita subprocess adapter
-- real Scriptorium subprocess adapter
-- real `normalize` stage producing `transcripts/normalized.json`
-- real `trim` stage producing `transcripts/trimmed.json`
-- real `analyze` stage for initial `session_recap` generation
-- optional Scriptorium render diagnostics (`render_debug`) before production run
-
-Still placeholder/future:
-
-- `archive` stage behavior
-- `notify` stage behavior
-- additional Scriptorium artifact types beyond `session_recap`
-- artifact-to-artifact workflows beyond the initial single-artifact implementation
-- generic stale detection based on input/config checksums
-
-## 3. Pipeline and Stage Boundaries
-
-Canonical stage order:
-
-1. `prepare`
-2. `transcribe`
-3. `merge`
-4. `polish`
-5. `normalize`
-6. `trim`
-7. `analyze`
-8. `archive`
-9. `notify`
-
-Boundary rules:
-
-- orchestration logic lives in `internal/app`
-- stage business logic lives in `internal/stage`
-- external-tool CLI construction lives in adapter packages
-- Scriptorium CLI details stay in `internal/adapters/scriptorium`
-
-## 4. Scriptorium Integration Model
-
-Integration mode:
-
-- public CLI subprocesses only (no Scriptorium internal Go packages, no HTTP API)
-- production generation uses `scriptorium run`
-- diagnostics/testing render uses `scriptorium render --format json`
-
-Run invocation shape used by adapter:
-
-```bash
-scriptorium run --prompt <prompt_id> --input name=path --out <output_path>
-```
-
-Optional flags passed when configured:
-
-- `--config <path>`
-- `--profile <profile_id>`
-- repeated `--var name=value`
-- repeated `--input name=path`
-- `--timeout <duration>`
-- `--api-key-env <ENV_NAME>` when configured
-
-Render invocation shape used by adapter:
-
-```bash
-scriptorium render --prompt <prompt_id> --input name=path --format json --out <render_output_path>
-```
-
-Adapter behavior:
-
-- always passes `--out`
-- captures stdout/stderr separately
-- writes generated invocation metadata YAML (redacted, no secrets)
-- treats exit code `0` as success
-- treats exit code `1` as failure
-- treats exit code `2` as failure with `validation_failed=true` and preserves output metadata when available
-- validates successful output files exist and are non-empty
-- does not treat non-empty stderr as failure by itself
-
-## 5. Configuration Contract
-
-CLI pipeline config path resolution:
-
-- when `--config <path>` is provided, that path is used
-- when `--config` is omitted, Narratio searches defaults in order:
-  - `/usr/local/etc/narratio/pipeline.yml`
-  - `/etc/narratio/pipeline.yml`
-
-Optional pipeline secrets directory:
-
-- `pipeline.secrets.env_dir` enables loading environment variables from local files before command execution
-- file name = env var name; file contents = env var value (trailing newline/CRLF trimmed)
-- only env-var-style file names are considered; other entries are ignored
-- existing process environment values are preserved (not overwritten)
-- if configured, unreadable/missing `env_dir` fails command execution early
-- relative `env_dir` values are resolved from current working directory
-
-`pipeline.scriptorium` is optional. Existing pipelines without Scriptorium continue to work.
-
-`pipeline.trim` is optional. Existing pipelines without trim config continue to work.
-
-`pipeline.normalize` is optional. Existing pipelines without normalize config continue to work.
-
-`pipeline.audita` drives the real Audita subprocess adapter for the `polish` stage.
-
-Audita required fields:
-
-- `binary`
-- `timeout`
-- `base_url`
-- `model`
-
-Audita optional fields:
-
-- `llm_api_key_env` (enforced only when configured)
-- `modules` override list (when omitted/empty, Narratio does not pass `--modules`)
-- `transcript_description`
-- `config_path`
-- `output_schema` (`bare-segments` or `audita-v1`)
-- `work_dir_retention` (`always`, `auto`, `never`)
-- `total_llm_concurrency` (> 0 when provided)
-- `proposal_llm_concurrency` (> 0 when provided)
-- `validation_model`
-- `validation_llm_concurrency` (> 0 when provided)
-- `report` (default `true`)
-
-Narratio passes only configured optional Audita flags; omitted optional values defer to Audita defaults.
-
-When `pipeline.normalize` is omitted, defaults are applied:
-
-- `output_path: transcripts/normalized.json`
-- `output_schema: seriatim-intermediate`
-- `report: true`
-
-When `pipeline.normalize` is present:
-
-- `output_path` must be non-empty
-- `output_schema` must be one of `seriatim-minimal`, `seriatim-intermediate`, or `seriatim-full`
-- relative `output_path` values are session-workdir-relative paths
-- Seriatim binary settings still come from `pipeline.seriatim`
-
-When `pipeline.trim` is present:
-
-- `enabled` is optional and defaults to `false` when omitted
-- relative `output_path`, `bounds.output_path`, and `bounds.render_output_path` values are session-workdir-relative paths
-- do not store secrets in trim config values
-
-When `pipeline.trim.enabled: true`:
-
-- `output_path` is required and non-empty
-- `bounds.prompt_id` is required and non-empty
-- `bounds.transcript_input_name` is required and non-empty
-- `bounds.output_path` is required and non-empty
-- `bounds.timeout` must parse as a Go duration when provided
-- `bounds.render_debug: true` requires non-empty `bounds.render_output_path`
-- `bounds.profile_id` may be empty to use the prompt default profile
-- prompt IDs are config values, not hardcoded stage logic
-
-When `pipeline.scriptorium` is present:
-
-- `binary` is required and non-empty
-- `config_path` is optional; when provided it must be non-empty
-- `timeout` is optional; when provided it must parse as a Go duration
-- default `timeout` is `10m`
-- unknown YAML fields fail strict decode
-
-Artifacts are configured as a map under `pipeline.scriptorium.artifacts` so multiple artifacts are possible in the config shape.
-
-For each artifact definition:
-
-- `enabled: true` requires non-empty `prompt_id`
-- `enabled: true` requires non-empty `output_path`
-- `timeout` must parse as Go duration when present
-- optional per-artifact `render_debug` may override global `scriptorium.render_debug`
-- `inputs` are named and each input requires non-empty `source`
-- inputs may be optional (`required: false`)
-- `vars` values currently support `string` and `bool`
-
-Prompt IDs and profile IDs are configuration values, not hardcoded stage logic.
-
-Trim config shape:
-
-```yaml
-trim:
-  enabled: true
-  output_path: "transcripts/trimmed.json"
-  bounds:
-    prompt_id: "dnd_session.bounds"
-    profile_id: ""
-    transcript_input_name: "transcript"
-    output_path: "artifacts/session_bounds.json"
-    timeout: "10m"
-    render_debug: false
-    render_output_path: "artifacts/session_bounds.render.json"
-  seriatim:
-    report: false
-```
-
-## 6. Transcript Tiers
-
-Narratio currently produces and uses four transcript tiers:
-
-- `transcripts/merged.json`: canonical deterministic merged transcript from Seriatim merge
-- `transcripts/processed.json`: full raw Audita-polished transcript output (includes pre/post-game content)
-- `transcripts/normalized.json`: normalized transcript generated by Seriatim normalize
-- `transcripts/trimmed.json`: gameplay-only normalized polished transcript from trim stage
-
-Trim reads `transcripts/normalized.json`, validates bounds IDs against that same transcript ID space, and writes `transcripts/trimmed.json`.
-
-## 7. Normalize Stage (Current Implementation)
-
-Normalize stage behavior:
-
-- stage order position: after `polish` and before `trim`
-- discovers processed transcript from manifest polish outputs (`transcript_processed`) when present, else `work/<session_id>/transcripts/processed.json`
-- validates processed transcript JSON shape (`segments` array required)
-- runs Seriatim `normalize` to produce normalized transcript
-- validates normalized transcript JSON shape (`segments` array required)
-- validates normalize report JSON when enabled
-
-Expected normalize outputs and diagnostics:
-
-- `transcripts/normalized.json`
-- `artifacts/seriatim.normalize.report.json` (when normalize report is enabled)
-- `logs/seriatim.normalize.stdout.log`
-- `logs/seriatim.normalize.stderr.log`
-- `config/seriatim.normalize.generated.yml`
-
-## 8. Trim Stage (Current Implementation)
-
-Trim stage behavior:
-
-- stage order position: after `normalize` and before `analyze`
-- discovers normalized transcript from manifest normalize outputs (`transcript_normalized`) when present, else `work/<session_id>/transcripts/normalized.json`
-- validates normalized transcript JSON shape (`segments` array required)
-- when `trim.enabled: false` (or trim config omitted), deterministically copies normalized transcript to `transcripts/trimmed.json` and records `trim_action=copy_disabled`
-- when `trim.enabled: true`:
-  - runs Scriptorium bounds prompt using configured `trim.bounds.prompt_id`
-  - writes bounds output to configured path (typically `artifacts/session_bounds.json`)
-  - parses and validates bounds output against the same normalized transcript being trimmed
-  - converts bounds range to Seriatim keep selector (for example `10-868`)
-  - runs Seriatim `trim` to produce `transcripts/trimmed.json`
-  - supports no-trim bounds actions (`none`/`copy`) by copying normalized transcript unchanged
-- validates trimmed transcript JSON shape (`segments` array required)
-
-Expected trim outputs and diagnostics:
-
-- `artifacts/session_bounds.json`
-- `transcripts/trimmed.json`
-- `logs/scriptorium.bounds.stdout.log`
-- `logs/scriptorium.bounds.stderr.log`
-- `config/scriptorium.bounds.generated.yml`
-- `logs/seriatim.trim.stdout.log`
-- `logs/seriatim.trim.stderr.log`
-- `config/seriatim.trim.generated.yml`
-- optional bounds render-debug outputs when enabled:
-  - `artifacts/session_bounds.render.json`
-  - `logs/scriptorium.bounds.render.stdout.log`
-  - `logs/scriptorium.bounds.render.stderr.log`
-  - `config/scriptorium.bounds.render.generated.yml`
-
-Render-debug files are diagnostics. They are recorded in stage metadata/log/config refs and are not treated as canonical stage output artifact refs.
-
-## 9. Analyze Stage (Current Implementation)
-
-The current real analyze implementation supports only `scriptorium.artifacts.session_recap`.
-
-Behavior:
-
-- if `pipeline.scriptorium` is missing, analyze returns a skipped result with metadata
-- if no Scriptorium artifacts are enabled, analyze returns a skipped result with metadata
-- if enabled artifacts exist but `session_recap` is not enabled, analyze fails clearly
-- available transcript input sources for configured artifacts: `processed_transcript`, `normalized_transcript`, `trimmed_transcript`
-- `session_recap` should use `trimmed_transcript` input (`transcripts/trimmed.json`) for in-universe recap generation
-- `trimmed_transcript` input is resolved from manifest (`trim` output kind `transcript_trimmed`) when available, otherwise fallback path `work/<session_id>/transcripts/trimmed.json`
-- `normalized_transcript` input is resolved from manifest (`normalize` output kind `transcript_normalized`) when available, otherwise fallback path `work/<session_id>/transcripts/normalized.json`
-- `processed_transcript` input is resolved from manifest (`polish` output kind `transcript_processed`) when available, otherwise fallback path `work/<session_id>/transcripts/processed.json`
-- `normalized_transcript` is the preferred full-transcript source for future table/meta-analysis artifacts
-- `processed_transcript` remains available for advanced/debug use cases
-- transcript inputs are validated as JSON with top-level `segments` array
-- configured inputs are resolved by source
-- optional `previous_recap` is omitted when unavailable
-- required `previous_recap` fails before invocation when unavailable
-- vars are built from config + session metadata
-- `render_debug` controls pre-run `scriptorium render` diagnostics
-- render failure stops stage before production run
-- render output is validated as JSON
-- production call uses Scriptorium adapter `RunArtifact`
-- successful run output must exist and be non-empty
-- missing `trimmed_transcript` input for configured `trimmed_transcript` source fails clearly with guidance to run trim stage first
-- manifest records output refs, logs, generated config paths, and non-secret provenance metadata
-
-## 10. Session Recap Paths
-
-Current expected paths for `session_recap`:
-
-- artifact output: `artifacts/session_recap.md`
-- run stdout log: `logs/scriptorium.session_recap.stdout.log`
-- run stderr log: `logs/scriptorium.session_recap.stderr.log`
-- run generated invocation/config: `config/scriptorium.session_recap.generated.yml`
-- render output (when enabled): `artifacts/session_recap.render.json`
-- render stdout log: `logs/scriptorium.session_recap.render.stdout.log`
-- render stderr log: `logs/scriptorium.session_recap.render.stderr.log`
-- render generated invocation/config: `config/scriptorium.session_recap.render.generated.yml`
-
-## 11. Security and Privacy
-
-- do not store secrets in pipeline YAML, generated invocation YAML, logs, or manifest metadata
-- if API-key integration is configured, pass env var names only (never raw key values)
-- with `pipeline.secrets.env_dir`, secret file values are loaded into process env only and are not persisted in manifest metadata or generated configs
-- avoid logging transcript content or rendered prompt content by default
-- treat generated artifacts and logs as potentially sensitive session material
-
-## 12. Operational Caveat (Pre-Stale-Detection)
-
-Checksum-based stale detection is not implemented yet.
-
-If prepared inputs or prompt/runtime configuration change (for example glossary files, prompt IDs, profile IDs, or relevant pipeline settings), rerun the appropriate prior stages to refresh downstream artifacts.
-
-Examples:
-
-- glossary or autocorrect changes usually require rerunning at least `merge`, `polish`, `normalize`, `trim`, and `analyze`
-- trim prompt/profile changes require rerunning at least `normalize`, `trim`, and `analyze`
-- session recap prompt/profile/input-source changes require rerunning `analyze`
-
-## 13. Roadmap
-
-Planned next steps:
-
-- extend analyze beyond `session_recap` to additional configured artifacts
-- support artifact inputs that consume prior generated artifacts
-- keep this composable without adding a generic DAG engine in the near term
-- implement real `archive` backend behavior
-- implement real `notify` backend behavior
-- add checksum-based stale detection and stale transitions
-
-Architectural invariants remain:
-
-- strict config decoding/validation
-- manifest-driven run control
-- clear stage/adapter separation
-- configuration-driven prompt/profile/input/vars/output mapping
-- Scriptorium integration through public CLI subprocess contract

+## Shortest Useful Command
+
+```bash
+narratio run 2026-04-04
+```
+
+This runs the canonical full pipeline for session `2026-04-04`.
+
+## Command Overview
+
+Top-level commands:
+
+- `version`: print the Narratio build version.
+- `run <session_id>`: run all or one contiguous range of the canonical stage order.
+- `regenerate-artifacts <session_id>`: force-run extraction through analysis.
+- `run-stage <stage> <session_id>`: run one stage.
+- `analyze <session_id>`: force-run analyze.
+- `publish <session_id>`: force-run publish.
+- `clean <session_id>` or `clean --all`: remove local work/spool state.
+- `session <subcommand>`: session helper commands.
+- `config <subcommand>`: validate, display, source-trace, catalog, or compare resolved pipeline configuration.
+
+Session subcommands:
+
+- `session init <session_id>`
+- `session plan <session_id>`
+- `session validate <session_id>`
+- `session status <session_id>`
+- `session restore <session_id>`
+- `session artifacts <session_id>`
+- `session locks <session_id>`
+- `session locks add <session_id> <source>`
+- `session locks remove <session_id> <source>`
+
+## Common Config Flags
+
+Most session-aware commands accept:
+
+- `--config <pipeline.yml>`
+- `--campaign <id>`
+- `--campaign-file <campaign.yml>`
+- `--session <session.yml>`
+- `--session-id <session_id>`
+- `--previous-session-id <session_id>`
+- `--overlay <name>`
+- `--secrets-dir <directory>`
+
+Rules:
+
+- `--campaign` and `--campaign-file` are mutually exclusive.
+- `--session` is not used by `session init`.
+- if both positional `<session_id>` and `--session-id` are provided, values must match.
+- `--previous-session-id` is a strict expectation: the selected session file
+  must contain the same `previous_session_id`.
+- `--overlay` selects `overlays/<name>.yml` relative to the pipeline root. It
+  may be supplied once; omitted, empty, and the exact name `default` select the
+  base configuration, while an unknown named overlay fails. The same selection
+  applies to all common-flag commands, including `regenerate-artifacts`.
+- `--secrets-dir` selects ConfigKit credential-file bootstrap explicitly. A
+  relative value uses caller CWD. Without the flag, a present `secrets/`
+  directory beside the resolved root pipeline is used; an absent one is skipped.
+- `clean --all` cannot be combined with campaign/session selectors.
+- notification delivery is currently limited to the configured `noop` mode; see
+  the [configuration reference](./config.md#notifications).
+
+## Session ID Input Rules
+
+Session-aware commands accept one of these forms:
+
+- positional session ID: `... <session_id>`
+- compatibility flag: `... --session-id <session_id>`
+
+When both are present, command parsing requires an exact match.
+
+Commands with additional positionals keep their command-specific order:
+
+- `run-stage <stage> <session_id>` or `run-stage <stage> --session-id <session_id>`
+- `session locks add <session_id> <source>` or `session locks add --session-id <session_id> <source>`
+- `session locks remove <session_id> <source>` or `session locks remove --session-id <session_id> <source>`
+
+## Command Reference
+
+### `config validate`, `config show`, `config sources`, `config artifacts`, and `config diff`
+
+```bash
+narratio config validate [--config <pipeline.yml>] [--campaign <id> | --campaign-file <campaign.yml>] [--overlay <name>] [--secrets-dir <directory>]
+narratio config show [--config <pipeline.yml>] [--campaign <id> | --campaign-file <campaign.yml>] [--overlay <name>] [--secrets-dir <directory>]
+narratio config sources [--config <pipeline.yml>] [--campaign <id> | --campaign-file <campaign.yml>] [--overlay <name>] [--secrets-dir <directory>]
+narratio config artifacts [--config <pipeline.yml>] [--campaign <id> | --campaign-file <campaign.yml>] [--overlay <name>] [--secrets-dir <directory>]
+narratio config diff <left-overlay> <right-overlay> [--config <pipeline.yml>] [--campaign <id> | --campaign-file <campaign.yml>] [--secrets-dir <directory>]
+```
+
+These commands resolve the selected overlay, defaults, ordinary paths, and—if
+a campaign is selected—the campaign-owned party. They neither discover or load
+a session nor create a workspace, manifest, run, lock, adapter, or remote
+connection. Like every pipeline-loading command, they bootstrap the selected or
+conventional secrets directory before resolving configuration; `config show`
+never includes bootstrap reports or secret values in its YAML output.
+Typed credential references, including `notarius.credentials[]`, must therefore
+resolve even though these inspection commands never construct an adapter.
+
+Campaign selection is optional for a pipeline without party-driven artifact
+families. A pipeline with `scriptorium.artifact_families` needs a selected or
+configured default campaign so Narratio can expand its concrete artifacts and
+publish rules. `--campaign` and `--campaign-file` remain mutually exclusive.
+Session, range, force, and artifact-execution flags are not accepted.
+
+`config validate` writes a concise root-path, selected-overlay (or `none`), and
+effective-digest summary after successful complete validation. `config show`
+writes one deterministic, secret-free YAML document containing defaulted and
+expanded concrete configuration. It omits ConfigKit directives, artifact
+family declarations, and runtime provenance.
+
+`config sources` reports the same fully validated resolution without printing
+effective values. Its header identifies the root, ordered imports, selected
+overlay and its file, selected campaign, party source, and digest. The
+remaining tab-separated records are sorted as `path`, `role`, and `source`.
+Roles distinguish root, import, overlay, centralized default, campaign, party,
+and generated family ownership. A generated party member has
+one family record and one party record at the same logical path. The output
+never reads or prints secret values.
+
+`config artifacts` prints the concrete catalog used by analysis, ordered by
+artifact key. Its tab-separated header is `key`, `source`, `definitions`,
+`enabled`, `output`, `dependencies`, `family`, `character`, `family_source`, and
+`party_source`. Definitions and effective dependencies are sorted comma-separated
+lists, and control characters in fields are escaped. Family-member rows identify
+their family, character, defining family file, and party file. An empty catalog
+prints only the header. Ordinary artifacts can be inspected without a campaign;
+party-driven families retain the campaign requirement. See
+[Scriptorium Artifact Entries](./config.md#scriptorium-artifact-entries) for the
+configuration layout.
+
+`config diff` resolves both supplied overlay names independently and compares
+their fully resolved, secret-free effective mappings. It does
+not accept `--overlay`; the two positional names must be distinct, valid
+overlays. When party-driven families are present, both overlays must resolve to
+the same selected campaign and party. Use `--campaign-file` if overlay-specific
+campaign configuration would otherwise select different files.
+
+Equal overlays print `no differences`. Otherwise, sorted tab-separated records
+use one of these forms, with compact JSON values:
+
+```text
+added    <path>    <right-value>
+removed  <path>    <left-value>
+changed  <path>    <left-value>    <right-value>
+```
+
+Mappings are flattened to their logical field paths; lists remain one atomic
+value. The command compares defaulted concrete artifacts and publish rules, not
+overlay names, source-file layout, or formatting. It succeeds when differences
+are found, making it suitable for review and migration checks.
+
+### `version`
+
+```bash
+narratio version
+```
+
+Official release binaries report their exact Git tag. Binaries built directly
+from source without release linker metadata report `dev`.
+
+### `run`
+
+```bash
+narratio run <session_id> [--from <stage>] [--through <stage>] [--force] [--artifacts <name[,name...]>] [...common config flags]
+```
+
+Behavior:
+
+- evaluates one inclusive contiguous range of the canonical stage order;
+- defaults an omitted `--from` to `prepare` and an omitted `--through` to
+  `cleanup`, so omitting both retains full-pipeline behavior;
+- rejects unknown endpoints and a `--from` endpoint after `--through`;
+- runs `render` before `extract`; an omitted or disabled Notarius
+  configuration records an explicit `notarius_disabled` self-skip;
+- resolves every selected typed credential during the initial configuration
+  load, including Notarius credentials when extract is disabled, outside the
+  selected range, or later skipped as resumable;
+- skips already-succeeded stages unless `--force` is set or a stage-specific
+  resume check finds its durable result obsolete;
+- applies `--force` only to stages in the selected range;
+- rejects repeated `--from`, `--through`, or `--force` options, including
+  `--name=value` spellings;
+- continues interrupted or partially completed sessions by running non-succeeded stages;
+- writes the session manifest as the sole durable progress ledger. Each
+  invocation also creates its run-local directory and returns an immediate
+  command summary; neither creates another durable progress record.
+- reports the resolved overlay (or `none`) and effective configuration digest.
+
+When `--artifacts` is present, the selected range must contain `analyze` or
+`publish`. Either consumer is sufficient, including a one-stage range.
+
+### `regenerate-artifacts`
+
+```bash
+narratio regenerate-artifacts <session_id> [--artifacts <name[,name...]>] [...common config flags]
+```
+
+Exactly equivalent to:
+
+```bash
+narratio run <session_id> --force --from extract --through analyze [caller options]
+```
+
+The command always reruns extraction. Analysis rebuilds the selected configured
+artifacts and any prerequisites required by those targets; without
+`--artifacts`, it uses the normal default analysis selection. Publish and notify
+never run. Common session/configuration options and repeatable artifact values
+pass through unchanged.
+
+The forced extraction rebuilds the complete configured Notarius bundle,
+disables Notarius checkpoint loading, and requests chunk-plan refresh.
+`--artifacts` narrows only the analysis work; it never selects Notarius lanes.
+
+Because the expansion owns `--force`, `--from`, and `--through`, callers cannot
+supply those options. The shared `run` parser reports them as duplicate
+singleton flags. The alias has no private execution options or behavior, and
+runtime diagnostics may identify the operation as `run`.
+
+### `run-stage`
+
+```bash
+narratio run-stage <stage> <session_id> [--force] [--artifacts <name[,name...]>] [...common config flags]
+```
+
+Valid stage names:
+
+- `prepare`
+- `transcribe`
+- `merge`
+- `polish`
+- `normalize`
+- `trim`
+- `render`
+- `extract`
+- `analyze`
+- `publish`
+- `notify`
+- `cleanup`
+
+Rules:
+
+- `--artifacts` is accepted only for `analyze` and `publish` stage targets.
+
+### `analyze`
+
+```bash
+narratio analyze <session_id> [--artifacts <name[,name...]>] [...common config flags]
+```
+
+Equivalent to:
+
+```bash
+narratio run-stage analyze <session_id> --force [...common config flags]
+```
+
+This selects only `analyze`: it does not invoke Notarius, replace extraction,
+or remove existing extract outputs. `--artifacts` narrows the forced analysis
+targets and their required analysis prerequisites.
+
+### `publish`
+
+```bash
+narratio publish <session_id> [--artifacts <name[,name...]>] [...common config flags]
+```
+
+Equivalent to:
+
+```bash
+narratio run-stage publish <session_id> --force [...common config flags]
+```
+
+This command selects only `publish`; it does not invoke cleanup. Use a normal
+full run to include configured cleanup, or `run-stage cleanup` to retry cleanup
+from valid publication evidence.
+
+### `clean`
+
+```bash
+narratio clean <session_id> [--dry-run] [--clear-cache] [...common config flags]
+narratio clean --all [--dry-run] [--clear-cache] [--config <pipeline.yml>]
+```
+
+Behavior:
+
+- session mode removes the selected session's local work and spool state;
+- `--all` removes all local session work and spool state;
+- cache remains unless `--clear-cache` is provided.
+
+See [Operations: Cleanup](./operations.md#cleanup) for manual and pipeline-stage
+deletion scope.
+
+### `session plan`
+
+```bash
+narratio session plan <session_id> [--from <stage>] [--through <stage>] [--force] [--artifacts <name[,name...]>] [...common config flags]
+```
+
+Uses the same inclusive bounds, endpoint validation, force scope, and artifact
+selection contract as `run`. It validates config and prints run/skip decisions
+for selected stages only without creating the local workdir or changing the
+manifest. Resume-capable selected stages are checked against durable evidence.
+The output includes the resolved overlay (or `none`) and effective configuration
+digest without writing provenance or any manifest state.
+For `analyze`, the preview also lists explicit targets, prerequisite-only work,
+execution order, and reusable current artifacts with concise reasons. These
+artifact decisions come from the same reconciliation and work planner used by
+execution; the preview does not predict output identities.
+
+### `session validate`
+
+```bash
+narratio session validate <session_id> [...common config flags]
+```
+
+Read-only preflight checks for config validity, required inputs, audio mode,
+previous-session requirements, publish outputs, and independent remote locks.
+
+### `session status`
+
+```bash
+narratio session status <session_id> [...common config flags]
+```
+
+Prints local manifest state and, when storage is available, status for the
+pointer-selected remote commit and its declared published outputs. Current
+publish metadata reports `published`, `carried_locked`, `locked_unpublished`,
+`optional_missing`, and `unselected`; carried output lines include the run
+derived from their exact declared key, the key itself, and its declared
+destination. A separately displayed `dest` is the destination requested by the
+current configuration and may differ while an older declaration is locked.
+
+### `session init`
+
+```bash
+narratio session init <session_id> --output ./session.yml [options]
+narratio session init <session_id> --remote [options]
+```
+
+Required target selection:
+
+- exactly one of:
+  - `--output <path>`
+  - `--remote`
+
+Options:
+
+- `--config <pipeline.yml>`
+- `--campaign <id>` or `--campaign-file <campaign.yml>`
+- `--secrets-dir <directory>`
+- `--previous-session-id <id>`
+- `--date <YYYY-MM-DD>`
+- `--title <text>`
+- `--audio-dir <path>`
+- `--audio-s3-prefix <prefix>`
+- `--force`
+
+Rules:
+
+- `--audio-dir` and `--audio-s3-prefix` are mutually exclusive.
+- if campaign `session_template_file` is configured, `session init` renders it.
+- generated session YAML must be concrete (no unresolved `{{ ... }}` placeholders).
+
+### `session restore`
+
+```bash
+narratio session restore <session_id> [--dry-run] [--force] [--include-audio] [...common config flags]
+```
+
+Behavior:
+
+- discovers committed remote current state;
+- plans local restores;
+- writes an execution report;
+- blocks unresolved conflicts. `--force` permits replacement only of eligible
+  regular files.
+
+See [Operations: Restore Workflow](./operations.md#restore-workflow) for the
+default restore scope, report location, and conflict-handling workflow.
+
+### `session artifacts`
+
+```bash
+narratio session artifacts <session_id> [--remote] [...common config flags]
+```
+
+Lists effective built-in, configured Scriptorium, and configured extraction
+sources; reports planned, available, unavailable, and published state without
+reading payload bodies; and includes publish rules, lock state, and optional
+remote published-state availability. Remote inspection uses exact commit
+declarations and displays the five current publish outcomes when recorded.
+
+### `session locks`
+
+```bash
+narratio session locks <session_id> [...common config flags]
+narratio session locks add <session_id> <source> [--reason <text>] [--force] [...common config flags]
+narratio session locks remove <session_id> <source> [...common config flags]
+```
+
+Behavior:
+
+- list mode validates and reports independent remote locks sorted by source;
+- add creates one lock and reports an existing lock unless `--force` is used;
+- `--force` performs one generation-matched replacement and reports a
+  concurrent change for operator retry; and
+- remove is idempotent and reports when the source was not locked.
+
+See [Operations: Publish Locks](./operations.md#publish-locks) for lock storage
+and publication behavior.
+
+## `--artifacts` Selection Rules
+
+An artifact-family key selects all of its concrete character members. A
+concrete generated key selects only that member; mixed family and concrete
+selection is deduplicated and executed as concrete keys. The resulting plan
+and command output identify both the concrete key and, where applicable, its
+family and character ID.
+
+- accepted on `run`, `session plan`, `run-stage`, `analyze`, and `publish`;
+- repeatable and comma-separated values are combined, surrounding whitespace
+  is removed, and duplicate names are collapsed;
+- names must exist in `pipeline.scriptorium.artifacts`;
+- empty entries are invalid;
+- on `run-stage`, only `analyze` and `publish` accept the option.
+
+Effects:
+
+- selects explicit analyze targets; required configured prerequisites may be
+  reused or rebuilt before them;
+- filters publish rules that source `narratio.artifact.<name>`;
+- does not filter built-in transcript/bounds or explicitly configured
+  `narratio.extraction.<name>` publish sources; and
+- does not select or filter Notarius lanes.
+
+## Common Workflows
+
+Run full pipeline:
+
+```bash
+narratio run 2026-04-04
+```
+
+Dry-run restore plan:
+
+```bash
+narratio session restore 2026-04-04 --dry-run
+```
+
+Generate a concrete session file from template/default structure:
+
+```bash
+narratio session init 2026-04-04 --output ./session.yml --date 2026-04-04 --title "Session 12"
+```
+
+Force publish only:
+
+```bash
+narratio publish 2026-04-04
+```
+
+Regenerate post-transcript artifacts without publishing:
+
+```bash
+narratio regenerate-artifacts 2026-04-04 --artifacts session_recap,player_handout
+```
+
+## Output And Exit Behavior
+
+- Successful commands write their result or summary to standard output and
+  exit with status `0`.
+- Command failures and invalid invocations write an error to standard error and
+  exit with status `1`.
+- An unknown top-level command also prints the top-level usage summary to
+  standard error.
+- `session restore --help` prints its command-specific usage and exits with
+  status `0`.
+
+Output is intended for operator inspection. Narratio does not currently offer
+a machine-readable CLI output mode; durable machine-readable state is recorded
+in manifests and reports described in [Operations](./operations.md).

+# Configuration Reference
+
+## Purpose
+
+Narratio resolves three YAML documents:
+
+- `pipeline.yml`: pipeline/runtime settings
+- `campaign.yml`: campaign identity and stable input defaults
+- `session.yml`: session identity, metadata, and audio source selection
+
+## Discovery and Selection
+
+### `pipeline.yml`
+
+When `--config` is omitted, search order is:
+
+1. `/usr/local/etc/narratio/pipeline.yml`
+2. `/etc/narratio/pipeline.yml`
+
+### `campaign.yml`
+
+Selection rules:
+
+- if `--campaign-file` is set, use that path;
+- else if `--campaign <id>` is set, use `{pipeline.campaigns.root}/{id}/campaign.yml`;
+- else use `{pipeline.campaigns.root}/{pipeline.campaigns.default_campaign_id}/campaign.yml`.
+
+### `session.yml`
+
+When `--session` is omitted, local search order is:
+
+1. `/usr/local/etc/narratio/session.yml`
+2. `/etc/narratio/session.yml`
+
+If local session discovery fails and a `session_id` is known, Narratio attempts remote session loading from:
+
+- `{root_prefix}/campaigns/{campaign}/sessions/{session_id}/session.yml`
+
+using configured object storage.
+
+The downloaded remote session file is command-scoped: Narratio removes it after
+the command finishes and records only the remote object provenance alongside
+the durable copied session input.
+
+### Read-only effective pipeline inspection
+
+`narratio config validate`, `narratio config show`, `narratio config sources`,
+and `narratio config artifacts` use the same `--config`, `--campaign`,
+`--campaign-file`, and
+`--overlay` selection rules as pipeline commands, but do not select, discover,
+or load a session. They resolve configured typed credential references as part
+of the ordinary ConfigKit load but expose only their environment-variable names;
+they do not create runtime state.
+`narratio config diff <left-overlay> <right-overlay>` uses the same pipeline and
+campaign selectors, resolves each named overlay with an independent ConfigKit
+load, and does not accept a separate `--overlay` flag.
+
+Campaign selection is optional only when the resolved pipeline has no
+`scriptorium.artifact_families`. When families are declared, Narratio selects a
+campaign through an explicit flag or `pipeline.campaigns.default_campaign_id`,
+then parses the campaign-owned party and expands concrete artifacts and any
+family publish rules before validation. `config validate` prints the resulting
+root, overlay, and effective digest. `config show` emits the normalized
+effective pipeline YAML, with defaults and concrete expansion included but
+ConfigKit directives and family declarations omitted. This review projection is
+not promised to be a reloadable authoring document. `config sources` prints a stable
+source projection instead of effective values: root/import/overlay/default
+ownership plus campaign/party and generated-family records. Canonical derived
+players trace to the party. `config artifacts` lists the concrete artifact map,
+effective dependencies, and defining sources. The [CLI reference](cli.md#config-validate-config-show-config-sources-config-artifacts-and-config-diff)
+owns command syntax and output conventions.
+
+`config diff` compares normalized field values rather than YAML text or source
+ownership. It emits sorted `added`, `removed`, and `changed` records, uses
+compact deterministic JSON values, treats lists atomically, and reports `no
+differences` when the complete effective configurations are equal. Concrete
+family members and generated publish rules participate after expansion; moving
+an equal value between eligible root/import sources does not create a
+difference.
+
+### Migrating to the maintained bundle
+
+Use the [production/testing bundle](../examples/production-testing/pipeline.yml)
+as the complete copyable migration reference. Keep production settings in the
+base, split them into explicit additive imports, and place testing differences
+in the fixed `overlays/testing.yml` overlay. Put ordinary artifacts and families
+in the recommended one-definition files shown by that bundle. Convert campaign
+rosters to [canonical party input](integrations/party.md), then express character
+work as families. Inspect the result with `config validate`, `config show`,
+`config sources`, and `config artifacts`; use `config diff default testing` to
+review the overlay before running a session. Unversioned party documents are
+rejected.
+
+### Identity segments
+
+Campaign IDs (`campaign_id` and `default_campaign_id`), session IDs, previous
+session IDs, and Narratio run IDs are opaque portable segments. They must use
+only ASCII letters, digits, `.`, `_`, and `-`; empty values, `.`/`..`, path
+separators, drive forms, whitespace, control characters, and non-ASCII text are
+rejected. Narratio does not trim or rewrite these values. Existing manifests or
+remote state with an unsafe legacy identity must be migrated before use.
+
+## Validation and Merge Rules
+
+- ConfigKit performs strict typed YAML decoding and accepts exactly one document;
+  unknown fields, duplicate keys, and trailing documents fail load.
+- A pipeline file may explicitly import additive YAML fragments through the
+  root-only `configkit.imports` list. Imported files contribute fields to one
+  logical pipeline document; they do not override fields supplied by the root
+  or another import.
+- An omitted overlay, an empty overlay option, and the exact name `default`
+  select the base configuration. Any other name selects
+  `overlays/<name>.yml` relative to the pipeline root. Move previously selected
+  `profiles/<name>.yml` files there; the old directory is not searched, and
+  `--profile` is no longer accepted for Narratio pipeline selection. Explicit
+  imports from a directory named `profiles` remain valid.
+- Campaign, session, and canonical-party documents are strict single-source
+  ConfigKit schemas. They do not enable imports, overlays, or `configkit`
+  directives.
+- Configured timeout and retry-delay durations must be positive. An omitted
+  artifact timeout continues to inherit its configured Scriptorium timeout.
+- Session files must be concrete; unresolved `{{ ... }}` placeholders fail load.
+- Session and party inputs inspected before typed loading are limited to 8 MiB.
+- Pipeline defaults are applied before validation.
+- Defaults apply only to absent fields. Explicit empty strings, zero values,
+  `false`, and `null` retain ConfigKit's typed meaning and are then checked by
+  Narratio domain validation; they are not silently replaced by defaults.
+  Explicit null optional stage sections stay absent, while required sections
+  fail validation.
+- Campaign and session identities must agree.
+- Required stable files (`speakers_file`, `autocorrect_file`, `glossary_file`,
+  `party_file`) are campaign-owned; the first three may be overridden by the
+  session. The optional `spell_catalog_file` also inherits a campaign value
+  when omitted by the session.
+- `party_file` is parsed when pipeline and campaign configuration are combined.
+  It must be a versioned [canonical party](integrations/party.md), is
+  campaign-owned and derives the players input internally. `players_file` and
+  session `party_file` are unsupported configuration keys.
+- Exactly one audio mode must be configured in session input:
+  - local (`audio_dir` or `audio_files`), or
+  - S3 (`audio_s3.prefix`).
+
+### Pipeline imports and overlays
+
+Large pipeline configurations may be split into explicitly named fragments and
+may use fixed-path selected overlays:
+
+```yaml
+configkit:
+  imports:
+    - path: config/storage.yml
+    - path: config/integrations.yaml
+
+campaigns:
+  root: /usr/local/share/narratio/campaigns
+```
+
+The maintained [production/testing bundle](../examples/production-testing/pipeline.yml)
+is a complete copyable example of this structure, including canonical-party
+artifact families.
+
+Imports are resolved relative to the directory containing the root pipeline
+file and are loaded in declaration order. Narratio does not scan directories or
+infer fragments. Each import must be a confined regular `.yml` or `.yaml` file:
+absolute paths, traversal, symlinks, directories, duplicate files, and an
+import of the root pipeline itself are rejected. Imported files cannot declare
+another `configkit` control section.
+
+Base merging is additive. A map may be extended by multiple files when every
+leaf is distinct, but a scalar, list, or map/list/scalar kind cannot be claimed
+more than once, even when the repeated values are identical. Conflict errors
+name the full field path and every source that claimed it. Narratio additionally
+rejects an artifact or artifact-family key declared by more than one base file,
+even when those files contribute disjoint children.
+
+Overlay names are case-sensitive and use ConfigKit's safe fixed-path naming
+rules. Only the selected overlay is opened; a malformed unselected overlay does
+not affect a base or different-overlay load. Maps merge recursively, overlay
+scalars replace base scalars, and overlay lists replace base lists completely.
+Explicit `false`, zero, empty strings, empty containers, and null values remain
+explicit inputs and are not refilled by defaults. Overlays cannot inherit,
+stack, import files, or declare another ConfigKit control section.
+
+During ConfigKit loading, Narratio applies fresh typed defaults, recorded
+entry-level defaults and normalization, read-only file-local validation, and
+ordinary path resolution before computing a deterministic effective
+configuration digest. The digest represents the normalized, secret-free
+runtime pipeline mapping; it excludes ConfigKit directives, source
+provenance, overlay identity, and raw environment secret values. Equivalent
+effective mappings therefore have the same digest regardless of how fields are
+split among the root and imports.
+
+An imported field has the same meaning it would have in a monolithic root
+pipeline. In particular, ordinary relative pipeline paths continue to resolve
+from the root pipeline directory, not from the importing fragment's directory.
+
+## Minimal Working Configuration
+
+`pipeline.yml`
+
+```yaml
+campaigns:
+  root: /usr/local/share/narratio/campaigns
+  default_campaign_id: sample-campaign
+whisperx:
+  transcribe_url: https://transcription.example.com/transcribe
+```
+
+`campaign.yml`
+
+```yaml
+campaign_id: sample-campaign
+inputs:
+  speakers_file: ./speakers.yml
+  autocorrect_file: ./autocorrect.yml
+  glossary_file: ./glossary.yml
+  party_file: ./party.yml
+```
+
+`session.yml` (local audio)
+
+```yaml
+session_id: 2026-05-03
+inputs:
+  audio_dir: ./audio
+```
+
+## Secrets Handling
+
+- Do not place raw secrets in YAML.
+- Credential fields contain environment-variable names, represented internally
+  as ConfigKit typed secret references (for example
+  `pipeline.notarius.credentials: [NOTARIUS_LLM_API_KEY]`). A configured reference
+  must resolve to a nonempty environment value during load.
+- Every surviving reference is resolved during ordinary pipeline loading,
+  regardless of whether its integration is disabled, outside the selected
+  stage range, or eligible for resume. Omit the field or set it to `null` when
+  that deployment should not require the credential.
+- Every command that loads a pipeline accepts `--secrets-dir <path>`. When the
+  flag is omitted, Narratio uses a present `secrets/` directory beside the
+  resolved root `pipeline.yml`; an absent conventional directory is ignored.
+  Explicit relative paths are resolved from the caller's working directory,
+  and a missing or empty explicit selection is an error.
+- Each immediate regular file whose name is a valid environment-variable name
+  supplies one value. ConfigKit removes trailing CR/LF, permits a symlink as the
+  selected directory, rejects non-hidden symlink entries, and limits input to
+  1 MiB per file, 8 MiB total, and 1024 entries. Dot-prefixed entries (including
+  files, directories, and symlinks) are ignored and omitted from bootstrap
+  reports, but still count toward the directory entry limit.
+- An existing process environment value takes precedence over a credential file.
+- On POSIX, operators must provision the directory with no group/other access
+  (normally `0700`) and files with no group/other access (normally `0600`);
+  ConfigKit validates type and bounds but does not enforce permission modes.
+- Bootstrap happens once per command, before any configuration load or adapter
+  construction. Safe reports contain filenames, paths, and statuses, never values.
+
+## Publish Configuration Summary
+
+Publish rules live under `pipeline.publish`.
+
+```yaml
+publish:
+  enabled: true
+  upload_run: true
+  outputs:
+    - source: narratio.transcript.final_trimmed
+      dest: transcripts/final.trimmed.json
+      required: true
+    - source: narratio.transcript.final_markdown
+      dest: transcripts/final.md
+      required: true
+    - source: narratio.transcript.final_trimmed_markdown
+      dest: transcripts/final.trimmed.md
+      required: true
+    - source: narratio.artifact.session_recap
+      dest: artifacts/session_recap.md
+      required: true
+```
+
+Rules:
+
+- `outputs[].source` is required.
+- `outputs[].dest` may be omitted when derivable from source.
+- extraction sources require an explicit `outputs[].dest` and publish only when
+  a rule names that source; the Notarius index and complete bundle are not
+  publish sources.
+- `outputs[].required` defaults to `true`.
+- publish locks are independent remote session objects managed with
+  `narratio session locks`; they are not pipeline configuration fields.

+
+### Audita Selection and Credentials
+
+`pipeline.audita.config_path` optionally passes an Audita v2 configuration file;
+when empty, Audita uses its own native config discovery. `overlay`,
+`proposal_profile`, and `validation_profile` are independent, optional Audita
+selectors. Empty or omitted strings add no command-line override. Narratio's
+selected pipeline overlay is never inferred as an Audita overlay, and Narratio
+does not create or validate Audita's backend or PromptKit profile files. Prepare
+them with [Audita's v2 migration guide](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/audita/src/tag/v2.0.0/docs/migrations/v2.md).
+
+Omit `modules` or set it to `null` to use Audita's configured default sequence.
+Set `modules: []` to run no correction modules. A nonempty list is passed in
+order, including repetitions. Narratio does not add a reporting or debug flag;
+Audita's external configuration controls those settings.
+
+`pipeline.audita.credentials` lists secret-reference names, not values. Narratio
+resolves every listed name during pipeline loading and forwards the captured
+nonempty value under that exact name to Audita. It does not inspect Audita's
+configuration to discover names or map them to aliases. Audita v2 resolves
+credentials for **all configured backends**, even ones not selected by the
+current profiles: list every named backend credential in the selected Audita
+configuration. An unauthenticated backend needs no reference. Omission, `null`,
+or `[]` forwards nothing. A Narratio overlay replaces the entire list, and
+`[]` clears it. See the [Audita integration contract](./integrations/audita.md)
+for the subprocess and redaction boundary.
+
+<a id="notarius-configuration-profile"></a>
+
+### Notarius Configuration Overlay
+
+Migration: rename `pipeline.notarius.config_profile` to `config_overlay`.
+The old field is rejected; there is no compatibility alias. For Notarius v0.8+
+move selected downstream files from `profiles/` to `overlays/` beside its root
+configuration. This does not rename PromptKit LLM profiles.
+The renamed selector also changes extraction resume evidence for named
+selections: their existing extraction is regenerated on the next applicable
+run, with normal dependent invalidation. Omitted/base selections do not acquire
+a new invalidation solely from this rename.
+
+`pipeline.notarius.config_overlay` optionally selects a Notarius ConfigKit
+configuration overlay when extraction executes:
+
+```yaml
+notarius:
+  config_overlay: downstream-economy
+```
+
+When the field is omitted or `null`, Narratio supplies no downstream overlay
+selector and preserves Notarius's existing configuration-selection behavior.
+When present, Narratio forwards the exact string to Notarius, including an
+empty string or `default`, which explicitly select Notarius's composed base
+configuration. Notarius owns selector interpretation and validation; Narratio
+does not restrict overlay names, resolve overlay files, or rewrite the value.
+
+This selection is independent of Narratio's own `--overlay` selection. A
+Narratio overlay may explicitly select a differently named Notarius overlay,
+but Narratio never forwards its own overlay name automatically. It is also
+independent of `pipeline.notarius.credentials`: an overlay may change either or
+both fields according to the deployed Notarius configuration. See the
+[Notarius integration contract](./integrations/notarius.md) for invocation and
+failure behavior.
+
+### Notarius Credentials
+
+`pipeline.notarius.credentials` optionally lists environment-variable names
+to forward to the Notarius child process:
+
+```yaml
+notarius:
+  credentials: [OPENROUTER_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY]
+```
+
+The list contains variable names, not credential values. Those names must
+match the references used by the Notarius/PromptKit profiles that Notarius
+loads. Notarius owns profile lookup; Narratio neither infers those names nor
+remaps them. Omission, `null`, or `[]` forwards nothing. Each selected reference
+must resolve at pipeline load time through the process environment or existing
+secrets-directory bootstrap, even when Notarius is disabled, extract is outside
+the requested range, or a completed extraction can be reused.
+
+The Notarius child receives only Narratio's minimal execution environment plus
+these exact selected names and loaded values. Other credentials are not forwarded.
+Changing a value, name, presence, or absence does not invalidate extract's
+semantic resume evidence. The public names remain part of safe effective
+inspection, so renaming them may appear in `config diff` and change the effective
+configuration digest; rotating only their values does neither. An overlay
+replaces the whole list, including with `[]` to clear it.
+
+See the [Notarius integration contract](./integrations/notarius.md) for the
+delivery and redaction boundary.
+
+### Notarius Cache Controls
+
+`pipeline.notarius.resume` defaults to `false`. When true, an executed ordinary
+extraction passes `--resume`; the deployed Notarius configuration must already
+enable checkpoint recording and should select an explicit persistent checkpoint
+root. Narratio does not inspect or generate that configuration.
+
+`pipeline.notarius.chunk_cache` is empty by default, leaving Notarius's
+configured mode in control. A nonempty value must be `auto`, `bypass`, or
+`refresh` and is passed as `--chunk_cache`. Forced extraction takes precedence
+over both fields: it omits `--resume` and passes `--chunk_cache refresh`.
+Neither field changes Narratio's semantic extraction fingerprint, so changing
+them alone does not rerun an otherwise complete durable extraction.
+
+### Notarius Reference Bindings
+
+`pipeline.notarius.references` maps a Notarius CLI selector to a prepared
+Narratio source, not to a filesystem path:
+
+```yaml
+notarius:
+  references:
+    glossary: narratio.input.glossary
+    party: narratio.input.party
+    players: narratio.input.players
+    spell_catalog: narratio.input.spell_catalog
+```
+
+Supported sources are `narratio.input.party`, `narratio.input.players`,
+`narratio.input.glossary`, and `narratio.input.spell_catalog`. Each map entry is
+required by its presence: omit a binding when the selected Notarius pipeline
+does not need it. A spell-catalog binding additionally requires an effective
+campaign or session `spell_catalog_file`.
+
+Selectors accept Notarius's `slot`, `chunk.slot`, `lane.slot`,
+`lane.extract.slot`, `lane.merge.slot`, and `lane.normalize.slot` forms.
+Narratio trims whitespace around
+selectors and their dot-separated components, rejects empty components and
+`=`, rejects duplicate normalized selectors, and limits the map to 256 entries.
+It validates only selector structure and the prepared source vocabulary;
+Notarius owns target-slot declarations and media compatibility.
+
+Before extraction, Narratio resolves every binding from the current prepared
+session manifest and streams it into a verified, content-addressed session
+snapshot whose absolute path is passed to Notarius. Missing, unsafe, empty,
+changed-during-copy, or checksum-inconsistent prepared evidence fails with
+guidance to force `prepare`. Bindings are sorted by normalized selector and are
+part of extraction fingerprint and resume identity. See the
+[Notarius integration contract](./integrations/notarius.md) for the subprocess
+boundary and the [complete example](../examples/pipeline.full.annotated.yml)
+for a copyable configuration.
+
+### Notarius Output Entries
+
+For each `pipeline.notarius.outputs.<name>`:
+
+| Field | Type | Required | Rule |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `lane_id` | string | Yes | unique Notarius lane ID |
+| `media_type` | string | Yes | exact accepted descriptor media type |
+| `schema_id` | string | Yes | exact accepted descriptor schema ID |
+| `schema_version` | string | Yes | exact accepted descriptor schema version |
+| `module_key` | string | No | exact accepted module key when set |
+
+Output names must match `^[a-z][a-z0-9_]*$` and become selectable sources named
+`narratio.extraction.<name>`. Lane IDs must be unique. Every declared output is
+required from a successful Notarius result; a missing, rejected, duplicate, or
+contract-incompatible lane fails extraction. See the
+[complete maintained example](../examples/pipeline.full.annotated.yml) for the
+current ten-lane D&D mapping and the [Notarius contract](./integrations/notarius.md)
+for compatibility ownership.
+
+### Scriptorium Credentials
+
+Set `scriptorium.credentials: [OPENROUTER_API_KEY]` in the pipeline file to
+forward that provider key to Scriptorium. List additional provider names only
+when the selected downstream configuration needs them. The same list applies
+to trim bounds generation, analysis (including character families), and their
+render-debug calls. Scriptorium retains provider/profile selection; Narratio
+does not pass a model-request `--api-key-env` override.
+
+As with Audita and Notarius, names are ConfigKit secret references resolved at
+pipeline load time using the existing environment/secrets bootstrap precedence,
+even when no Scriptorium stage executes. Omitted, null, or empty lists forward
+nothing. An overlay replaces the entire list; `[]` clears it. Captured values
+are forwarded under their exact names and registered for diagnostic redaction.
+Inspection and generated metadata contain names only. Credential changes do
+not invalidate completed trim or analysis work; rotating values also leaves
+the effective configuration digest unchanged. Other environment variables
+retain the shared minimal subprocess inheritance rules.
+
+### Scriptorium Artifact Entries
+
+For each `pipeline.scriptorium.artifacts.<name>`:
+
+| Field | Type | Required | Rule |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `enabled` | bool | No | `false` if omitted |
+| `depends_on[]` | list[string] | No | explicit ordering-only edges; must reference configured artifact keys, may not self-reference, and join inferred input edges in one acyclic graph |
+| `render_debug` | bool | No | per-artifact override |
+| `prompt_id` | string | Conditional | required when artifact is enabled |
+| `profile_id` | string | No | empty |
+| `output_path` | string | Conditional | required when enabled; also required when referenced by publish/output/input rules |
+| `timeout` | duration | No | artifact override |
+| `inputs` | map | No | input key names must be non-empty |
+| `vars` | map | No | values must be string or bool; `session_id` is reserved and overwritten by Narratio |
+
+Narratio adds `session_id=narratio-session-<session_id>` to every Scriptorium request for sticky upstream LLM routing. If an artifact config sets `vars.session_id`, Narratio replaces that value before invoking Scriptorium. Use a different variable name if a prompt needs the raw Narratio session ID as content.
+
+Without `--artifacts`, analyze executes enabled configured artifacts. With an
+explicit `--artifacts` list, the exact named configured artifacts are the
+one-invocation targets even if their `enabled` values are false. Analyze closes
+those targets over the effective dependency graph: a current prerequisite is reused, while a
+stale, missing, or failed prerequisite is rebuilt before its dependent.
+Unrelated artifacts are not executed. Named targets and any prerequisite that
+may require rebuilding must therefore have valid executable fields. This
+override affects analyze planning only; publish uses the list only to filter
+configured `narratio.artifact.<name>` output rules.
+
+For each artifact input `pipeline.scriptorium.artifacts.<name>.inputs.<input_name>`:
+
+| Field | Type | Required | Rule |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `source` | string | Yes | built-in runtime source, prepared input source, `narratio.extraction.<name>`, `narratio.artifact.<name>`, or `narratio.previous_session.artifact.<name>` |
+| `required` | bool | No | optional input requirement |
+
+`artifact` and `path` are obsolete and rejected by strict configuration
+loading. Use the canonical `source` identifier to select the input; Narratio
+does not provide adapter-specific input passthrough fields.
+
+Each `narratio.artifact.<name>` input source automatically contributes an
+effective dependency on that configured artifact. Narratio unions these inferred
+edges with explicit `depends_on` entries, then trims, deduplicates, and sorts the
+result during final configuration resolution. Authors use `depends_on` only for
+ordering constraints that are not already expressed by an artifact input.
+Use [`narratio config artifacts`](./cli.md#config-validate-config-show-config-sources-config-artifacts-and-config-diff)
+to inspect keys, definition sources, outputs, and effective dependencies without
+loading a session or creating runtime state.
+
+### Scriptorium Artifact Families
+
+`pipeline.scriptorium.artifact_families` declares a shared artifact template
+for every canonical campaign character. Configuration resolution expands each
+family into ordinary `pipeline.scriptorium.artifacts` entries before analyze
+planning or Scriptorium invocation. Party parsing rejects unsupported document
+schemas before family expansion.
+
+For each `pipeline.scriptorium.artifact_families.<name>`:
+
+| Field | Type | Required | Rule |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `enabled`, `prompt_id`, `profile_id`, `timeout`, `render_debug`, `depends_on`, `inputs`, `vars` | ordinary artifact fields | No | copied to each generated artifact under the corresponding ordinary rules |
+| `for_each` | string | Yes | exactly `party.characters` |
+| `output_path_pattern` | string | Yes | safe path beneath `artifacts/` with exactly one `{character_id}` token and no other brace syntax |
+| `member_vars` | map | No | maps an ordinary Scriptorium variable name to a supported canonical character selector |
+| `member_dependencies` | list | No | unique family keys; each generated member depends on the corresponding generated member of each listed family |
+| `publish` | map | No | typed family publish policy (`enabled`, `required`, `dest_pattern`) expanded into concrete publish outputs when enabled |
+
+Generated keys are `<family>_<character_id>` and generated output paths must
+not collide with explicit artifacts or another generated artifact. Families
+expand even when disabled; normal analyze selection still omits disabled
+artifacts unless they are explicitly selected by their concrete key.
+
+Supported `member_vars` selectors are `character_id`, `player.name`,
+`character.name`, `character.class_summary`, and `character.alias_summary`.
+Their resolved values are strings. A member variable may not reuse a static
+`vars` name; `session_id` remains owned and overwritten by Narratio as for any
+other Scriptorium artifact.
+
+Within a family only, an input source may use
+`narratio.member_artifact.<family>`. Resolution rewrites the source to the
+corresponding ordinary `narratio.artifact.<family>_<character_id>` source and
+infers the concrete member dependency. Use `member_dependencies` only for
+additional same-character ordering constraints that are not already inputs.
+This syntax is rejected in explicit artifacts and never reaches runtime stages
+or Scriptorium.
+
+### Notifications
+
+Narratio currently supports only `notification.mode: noop`, which is also the
+default when the section is omitted. The notify stage performs no delivery in
+this mode. Backend, recipient, timeout, and other provider settings are
+rejected by strict configuration loading until Narratio has a provider
+integration.
+
+### Campaign
+
+| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `campaign_id` | string | Yes | canonical opaque campaign identity |
+| `session_template_file` | string | No | used by `session init` when set |
+| `inputs.speakers_file` | string | Yes | stable input default |
+| `inputs.autocorrect_file` | string | Yes | stable input default |
+| `inputs.glossary_file` | string | Yes | stable input default |
+| `inputs.party_file` | string | Yes | stable campaign party source; relative paths resolve from `campaign.yml` |
+| `inputs.spell_catalog_file` | string | No | optional spell-catalog overlay default; required when a Notarius reference selects `narratio.input.spell_catalog` |
+
+### Session
+
+| Field | Type | Required in session file | Notes |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `session_id` | string | Yes | opaque identity; must match CLI session target when provided |
+| `previous_session_id` | string | No | opaque identity; must not equal `session_id` |
+| `campaign` | string | No | opaque identity; filled from `campaign_id` during resolve if omitted |
+| `date` | string | No | metadata |
+| `title` | string | No | metadata |
+| `inputs.speakers_file` | string | No | overrides campaign stable input |
+| `inputs.autocorrect_file` | string | No | overrides campaign stable input |
+| `inputs.glossary_file` | string | No | overrides campaign stable input |
+| `inputs.spell_catalog_file` | string | No | overrides the optional campaign spell catalog; empty or omitted inherits the campaign value |
+| `inputs.audio_dir` | string | Conditional | local audio mode |
+| `inputs.audio_files[]` | list[string] | Conditional | local audio mode |
+| `inputs.audio_s3.prefix` | string | Conditional | S3 audio mode |
+
+Audio rules:
+
+- configure local mode (`audio_dir` or `audio_files`) or S3 mode (`audio_s3.prefix`), not both.
+- `audio_s3` requires `pipeline.storage.backend: s3` and a configured S3 bucket.
+
+### Storage backend selection
+
+`local` is the default and disables remote object-store operations. Configure
+`s3` explicitly before supplying `storage.s3`; a populated S3 block does not
+select a backend on its own. Unknown backend names and an S3 block paired with
+`local` are rejected during configuration validation.
+
+### Previous-session expectation
+
+`previous_session_id` is optional in a session file. When a command supplies
+`--previous-session-id`, however, the session file must contain the same value;
+an omitted or different value is rejected before the command performs work.

+# Development
+
+This is the first-read landing page for people and LLM coding agents working on
+Narratio. It provides a concise repository orientation and routes each kind of
+change to its canonical documentation.
+
+Narratio is a stage-driven Go orchestrator for turning D&D session audio into
+polished transcripts and generated artifacts. Start with the
+[README](../README.md) for product context,
+[Architecture](policy/architecture.md) for normative system boundaries, and the
+[Internal Overview](internal/overview.md) for implemented component ownership.
+
+Agents must read [Agent Policy](policy/agents.md) before recommending, planning,
+or implementing changes. It owns implementation discipline and the default
+commit-after-completed-work rule; it does not authorize pushing or releasing.
+
+## Go Prerequisite
+
+Maintained development and verification require Go 1.26. Use the official Go
+1.26 toolchain before running repository commands.
+
+## Policy Reading Guide
+
+| Policy | Read before… |
+| --- | --- |

+| [Release](policy/release.md) | Preparing or publishing a release, changing release procedures, or making versioning and compatibility decisions. |
+
+- Read applicable policies before making decisions they govern; multiple policies
+  may apply.
+- Select policies using the task triggers above. Follow cross-references to
+  relevant sections when needed to resolve a concrete question.
+- Reuse policies already available in context; reread when changed or no longer
+  available.
+- Expand reading when the task's scope expands.
+- When revising a policy itself, read that policy and any provisions elsewhere
+  affected by the revision.

+## What To Read
+
+| When working on | Read | Why |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Finding the package or component that owns current behavior | [Internal Overview](internal/overview.md) | It is the implemented component inventory and routes to focused internal documents. |
+| Application shape, boundaries, dependency direction, runtime invariants, safety properties, or dependencies | [Architecture](policy/architecture.md) | It defines the intended system shape, ownership, and non-goals. |
+| Any documentation addition or revision | [Documentation Policy](policy/documentation.md) | It defines canonical owners, audiences, current-behavior rules, and maintenance requirements. |
+| Adding, changing, reviewing, rewriting, or deleting tests | [Testing Policy](policy/testing.md) | It defines risk-based sufficiency, durable test boundaries, test-double guidance, and test lifecycle decisions. |
+| CLI composition or command behavior | [Internal Overview](internal/overview.md) and [CLI Reference](cli.md) | The overview routes to command ownership; the reference owns public syntax and invocation behavior. |
+| Configuration loading, resolution, or user-visible configuration | [Internal Overview](internal/overview.md) and [Configuration](config.md) | The overview routes to implementation ownership; the reference owns fields, defaults, discovery, and validation. |
+| Session workflow, status, restore, cleanup, or object storage | [Restore Internals](internal/command-restore.md), [Workspace Internals](internal/workspace.md), [Storage Internals](internal/storage.md), [Operations](operations.md), and [Troubleshooting](troubleshooting.md) | These separate implementation mechanics, operator procedures, and symptom-driven recovery. |
+| Pipeline sequencing or the behavior of a stage | [Internal Overview](internal/overview.md) and its focused stage documents | The overview owns the implemented stage inventory and routes to each stage contract. |
+| Adapters or external tool contracts | [Adapter Internals](internal/adapters.md) and [Integration Contracts](integrations/README.md) | The internal guide owns adapter composition and mechanics; integration documents own external formats and protocols. |
+| Manifests, artifacts, workspace paths, or publish behavior | [Manifest Internals](internal/manifest.md), [Artifact Internals](internal/artifacts.md), [Workspace Internals](internal/workspace.md), [Publish Internals](internal/stage-publish.md), and [Operations](operations.md) | These separate implementation state and resolution from operator-visible layout and lifecycle. |
+| Maintained configuration or input examples | [Configuration](config.md) and [Examples](../examples/README.md) | The reference owns field meanings; the examples directory owns complete copyable files. |
+| Preparing, validating, or publishing a release | [Release Policy](policy/release.md) and [Release Procedure](release.md) | Policy owns requirements; the procedure owns concrete validation, guarded publication, and optional later inspection. |
+| Proposed or unimplemented behavior | `docs/roadmap/` | Future work belongs only in roadmap documentation until implemented. |
+
+For an existing subsystem, also inspect its focused tests and package-level
+contracts before changing behavior.
+
+## Validation
+
+Use focused package tests while iterating. Push and pull-request CI runs these
+repository-wide checks and cross-builds the declared targets:
+
+```sh
+go test ./...
+go test -race ./...
+go vet ./...
+go build ./...
+```
+
+The full suite includes documentation-link and Woodpecker dependency checks
+and loads maintained pipeline and session examples. For focused diagnosis,
+run `go test ./internal/doccheck` or
+`go test ./internal/config -run '^TestExamplesLoadAndValidate$'` directly;
+these are available developer tools, not additional CI steps. Tag CI
+independently revalidates the tagged source before asynchronous asset delivery;
+it is not a second synchronous release prerequisite. The normal maintainer
+entry point is the single publication command in the
+[Release Procedure](release.md).
+
+Woodpecker also runs `go test -race -shuffle=on -count=3 ./...` on its scheduled
+job to expose ordering and repeatability defects. Current runners cross-compile
+the supported Linux amd64 and arm64 targets and the best-effort macOS arm64
+target. The macOS cross-build establishes compilation only, not native runtime
+evidence. Add a native check only when an official runner label and successful
+native-run evidence are available.

-# Audita Subprocess Operations
+# Integration: Audita
 
-This document describes how parent processes should invoke `audita process` safely in production orchestration.
+Narratio invokes Audita v2's `process INPUT --glossary PATH --output PATH`
+subprocess for `polish`. The configured timeout and parent cancellation bound
+execution. Narratio passes explicit `--config`, `--overlay`,
+`--proposal-profile`, `--validation-profile`, `--transcript-description`,
+`--output-schema`, and `--modules` only when selected. An omitted module list
+leaves Audita's default sequence in place; `modules: []` passes an explicit
+empty argument and runs no correction modules. Order and repetitions are kept.
+Narratio passes no debug, work-directory, or reporting flags, leaving those
+choices to Audita's own configuration.
 
-## Recommended command form
+Audita owns its ConfigKit file, backend and profile definitions, native config
+discovery, and their validation. Narratio does not create an Audita
+configuration or infer downstream overlay/profile names from its own selected
+pipeline overlay. An empty Narratio Audita selector adds no CLI override.
+The [configuration reference](../config.md#audita-selection-and-credentials)
+owns Narratio's fields and defaults. Audita's
+[v2 migration guide](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/audita/src/tag/v2.0.0/docs/migrations/v2.md)
+owns its downstream file format.
 
-Use explicit file outputs for orchestrated runs:
+Each name in `pipeline.audita.credentials` is a ConfigKit secret reference
+resolved when Narratio loads the pipeline. Narratio forwards only the selected
+names and their captured, nonempty values under those exact names, in the
+minimal child environment; it never maps them to a fixed alias or rereads the
+parent environment. Every name is registered for captured stdout/stderr and
+failure-diagnostic redaction. Audita resolves credentials for all configured
+backends, including unselected ones, so operators must list every backend
+credential that its selected configuration needs. The downstream files and
+provider output remain Audita's responsibility, outside Narratio's
+captured-stream redaction boundary.
 
-```sh
-audita process <transcript.json> \
-  --transcript-description "Brief context that may help resolve ambiguous terms." \
-  --glossary <glossary.yaml> \
-  --output <output-transcript.json> \
-  --report-json <report.json>
-```
+The corrected transcript is the only canonical polish output. A successful
+invocation must produce a valid JSON transcript with a top-level `segments`
+array within Narratio's 64 MiB bound. Exit zero is accepted even if Audita's
+ordinary reports describe recoverable model errors or no corrections. Narratio
+does not parse report status, counts, or Markdown. It discovers only
+`errors.yml`, `recoveries.yml`, and `report.md` next to the requested output,
+each subject to a 16 MiB read bound. Missing reports are allowed, for example
+when Audita reporting is disabled externally. Available reports are diagnostic
+references, not canonical artifact outputs. See Audita's
+[ordinary output contract](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/audita/src/tag/v2.0.0/docs/integrations/output-files.md)
+for their schemas, and [operations](../operations.md) for placement and
+publication.
 
-Additional flags that may be situationally appropriate:
-- `--config <path>` to select an explicit versioned config file.
-- `--output-schema <bare-segments|audita-v1>` to select transcript output shape.
-- `--work-dir <dir>` to control diagnostics location.
-- `--work-dir-retention <always|auto|never>` to control retained run directories.
-- `--total-llm-concurrency`, `--proposal-llm-concurrency`, and `--validation-llm-concurrency` when orchestration needs to set explicit LLM throughput controls.
-- `--modules ...` only when intentionally overriding the default sequence.
+On nonzero exit, Narratio preserves the original subprocess error and
+available run-local evidence; it never promotes a transcript merely because
+the file exists. The adapter returns safe paths, exit details, and selection
+metadata on failure. Narratio's `audita.generated.v2` YAML records the
+invocation, including arguments, paths, and credential names but never values;
+it is a diagnostic record, not a generated Audita config file.
 
-For config-driven orchestration, validate config files in CI/preflight:
-
-```sh
-audita config validate --config <path>
-```
-
-## Stdout behavior
-
-- With `--output`: stdout is expected to be empty on success.
-- Without `--output`: stdout contains transcript JSON only on success.
-- Report JSON is never written to stdout.
-
-## Stderr behavior
-
-- Success path should be quiet or minimal human-readable logs.
-- Failure path writes concise human-readable errors.
-- When a diagnostics run directory exists, failure stderr includes its path.
-- Prompt/response diagnostic payloads are not streamed to stderr.
-
-## Output file behavior
-
-- `--output` writes transcript JSON in the selected output schema to the provided path.
-- Output write failures return nonzero and surface actionable errors.
-- The command does not silently ignore output write errors.
-
-## Report JSON behavior
-
-- `--report-json` writes a machine-readable process report to the requested path.
-- Run-directory `report.json` is written independently under diagnostics.
-- Best-effort failure reports are emitted when possible without masking the primary failure.
-- Report write failures return nonzero with clear stderr messaging.
-- Report diagnostics metadata references run-directory artifacts including utilization diagnostics and correction ledger paths when available.
-
-## Diagnostics directory behavior
-
-- Each run creates (when possible) a per-run diagnostics directory.
-- Typical artifacts include transcript, normalization, chunking, invocation, effective config, LLM diagnostics, `utilization-diagnostics.json`, `correction-ledger.json`, `report.json`, and `error.log` on failure.
-- Failed runs retain diagnostics.
-- Under `auto` retention, successful runs with skipped/rejected corrections are retained; clean successful runs may be removed.
-
-## Exit codes
-
-- `0`: success.
-- Nonzero: failure (input/schema/config/module/LLM/runtime/output/report/diagnostics errors).
-
-Treat any nonzero as a failed subprocess invocation.
-
-## Timeout and cancellation
-
-- Runtime operations propagate context cancellation and request timeouts through LLM/scheduler paths.
-- On cancellation or timeout, the process exits nonzero and should not hang.
-- If diagnostics were initialized before failure, failure artifacts remain available for debugging.
-
-## Secret redaction expectations
-
-API keys and configured secret values are redacted from:
-- reports (`--report-json` and run-dir `report.json`);
-- diagnostics artifacts (including effective config and LLM interaction artifacts);
-- surfaced adapter/runtime errors;
-- test fixtures and regression outputs.
-
-Parent-process logs should still avoid printing raw environment variables.
-
-## Parent-process pipe guidance
-
-To avoid deadlocks in orchestrators:
-- always read both stdout and stderr concurrently when invoking as a subprocess;
-- prefer file outputs (`--output`, `--report-json`) for machine workflows;
-- treat stderr as human-readable diagnostics, not structured data;
-- parse structured results from output/report files.
-
-For Go callers, prefer `exec.CommandContext` with explicit timeout/cancellation and buffered/streamed readers for both pipes.

+The [complete Narratio example](../../examples/pipeline.full.annotated.yml)
+records the exact current constraints for all ten D&D lanes. Treat the linked
+Notarius documents as canonical when changing those values; Narratio does not
+duplicate the complete schemas.
+
+## Invocation
+
+When `pipeline.notarius.enabled` is true, Narratio resolves the executable,
+configuration path, input path, output directory, and working directory to
+absolute paths. Configured references require support for the `--reference`
+contract introduced in Notarius v0.6.0. Cache controls require support for the
+selected `--resume` and `--chunk_cache` flags. Notarius v0.8.1 is the tested
+cache integration baseline, not an unconditional minimum version; Narratio
+does not impose a runtime version gate. Each reference binding is a separate
+argument before `--json`. When `pipeline.notarius.config_overlay` is present,
+its exact value is another argument pair before `--json`:
+
+```text
+notarius run <pipeline_id> --config <config_path> --input <trimmed_json> --output-dir <staging_dir> [--resume] [--chunk_cache <mode>] [--reference <selector>=<verified_snapshot_path>]... [--config-overlay <name>] --json
+```
+
+Notarius v0.8.1 is a known supporting version for `--config-overlay`; using the
+option requires a compatible Notarius executable, but deployments that omit the
+field acquire no additional version requirement. Omitted or null configuration
+adds no flag. Supplied empty, `default`, and named selectors are forwarded
+without normalization so Notarius can apply its own ConfigKit semantics. This
+option selects a Notarius configuration overlay, not a PromptKit profile through
+`--llm-profile`, and Narratio never substitutes its own selected overlay name.
+A missing or invalid downstream overlay is an ordinary Notarius subprocess
+failure: Narratio does not retry without the selector or fall back to another
+overlay.
+
+Reference paths are absolute stable snapshots streamed from manifest-verified
+canonical files prepared inside the current Narratio session workspace. They
+live at `cache/notarius/references/<sha256>/<prepared-basename>` and retain the
+full lowercase content digest. Narratio verifies snapshot checksum and size
+before and after the subprocess, reconstructs missing or corrupt regular files
+from a still-valid prepared source, and passes only configured bindings,
+ordered lexically by normalized selector, as direct argument-vector entries
+without shell interpretation. Symlinks, directories, other non-regular
+conflicts, and prepared-source mismatches fail rather than being deleted. A CLI
+binding takes precedence over a matching external path in Notarius
+configuration. Narratio never emits `--without-reference`.
+
+For canonical party configuration, the `party` binding is the unchanged,
+validated authored roster and the `players` binding is its generated
+projection. Both retain their established `narratio.input.party` and
+`narratio.input.players` source IDs, and both are resolved from the prepared
+manifest rather than from campaign configuration at extraction time.
+
+The maintained D&D boundary binds only the four campaign-owned external slots:
+
+```text
+notarius run dnd-session \
+  --config <absolute config path> \
+  --input <absolute trimmed transcript path> \
+  --output-dir <absolute staging directory> \
+  --reference glossary=<absolute verified glossary snapshot> \
+  --reference party=<absolute verified party snapshot> \
+  --reference players=<absolute verified players snapshot> \
+  --reference spell_catalog=<absolute verified spell catalog snapshot> \
+  --json
+```
+
+The spell-catalog binding is omitted when the campaign does not maintain that
+optional overlay. Registry, scene-description, combat-turn, and occurrence
+handoffs generated during the same Notarius run remain in Notarius pipeline
+composition and must not be emitted as CLI references. The linked CLI and D&D
+consumer documents own selector targeting, declared slots, media compatibility,
+and generated-handoff collision rules.
+
+Standard output is reserved for the JSON receipt. Standard error is captured
+separately as diagnostic output. Narratio applies the configured timeout and
+does not interpret stdout as a receipt unless the subprocess exits successfully.
+It does not pass a Narratio session ID or run `notarius config validate`
+automatically; the configured working directory and Narratio's minimal child
+environment apply to the subprocess.
+
+Ordinary extraction maps `pipeline.notarius.resume: true` to `--resume` and a
+nonempty `pipeline.notarius.chunk_cache` to `--chunk_cache <mode>`. Forced
+extraction always omits `--resume` and supplies `--chunk_cache refresh`.
+Notarius owns checkpoint enablement, recording, identity, and both cache roots;
+Narratio neither reads nor synthesizes its configuration. Use explicit
+persistent roots in Notarius when reuse must span subprocess invocations.
+Changing a reference path/digest or other upstream identity input correctly
+causes a cold miss. Chunk refresh bypasses lookup and publishes the accepted
+replacement for the active source; it does not delete unrelated plans or
+checkpoint state.
+
+When `pipeline.notarius.credentials` is absent, null, or empty, Narratio adds no
+credentials to that environment. When configured, each list entry names an
+environment variable whose already-loaded nonempty value is forwarded under
+that exact name. Operators must use the names referenced by the selected
+Notarius/PromptKit providers. Narratio does not inspect the Notarius configuration
+to infer providers or destination names, and it does not forward unrelated
+credentials from its parent environment or secrets directory. A Narratio
+overlay replaces the whole credential list; `[]` clears it.
+
+Every selected name is registered with Narratio's shared streaming redactor.
+Credential bytes written by the child to captured stdout, captured stderr, or
+stderr-derived failure diagnostics are replaced with `<redacted>`, including
+custom names not known to the built-in sensitive-name list. Narratio does not
+serialize the credential into arguments, stage metadata, manifests, or
+generated configuration.
+
+This captured-stream protection is not a filesystem sandbox. Notarius remains
+responsible for keeping credentials out of files it writes directly, including
+bundle artifacts and its own diagnostics. Narratio does not scan or rewrite
+arbitrary downstream files and cannot promise redaction of transformed or
+encoded credentials.
+
+## Accepted Result
+
+Narratio's tested invocation baseline is Notarius v0.8.1. The accepted
+receipt remains `notarius.run-result.v2`; reference flags do not change the
+receipt or ten-lane output contract. The receipt
+must identify the configured pipeline, and its `index_file` must be exactly
+`index.json` beneath the reported bundle root. The production index must name
+the management files exactly as `manifest.json`, `rejected.json`,
+`warnings.json`, and `diagnostics.json`. All receipt, index, and lane paths must
+stay inside that bundle; symlinks and non-regular lane payloads are rejected.
+
+Supported receipt and index shapes tolerate unknown fields for forward
+compatibility, while required identity, validation, count, manifest,
+rejection, warning, diagnostic, and lane-list fields remain mandatory.
+Narratio applies bounded reads to the receipt, index, rejection, warning, and
+diagnostic documents. Warning and diagnostic envelopes, group counts,
+occurrence counts, truncation state, framework-owned origins, and
+receipt-to-bundle counts must be internally consistent. Optional chunk-map and
+evidence-context descriptors must carry their complete generic contract
+metadata when present.
+
+For every entry in `pipeline.notarius.outputs`, Narratio requires exactly one
+index descriptor with the configured lane ID, media type, schema ID, schema
+version, and, when configured, module key. Missing, duplicate, rejected, or
+incompatible required lanes fail extraction even if Notarius exited zero. A
+configured lane whose v2 validation summary is `rejected` or `incomplete` also
+fails extraction.
+An accepted reused producer may report `producer_attempt_count: 0`; Narratio
+preserves that valid summary rather than treating it as a missing field.
+Unconfigured lanes may remain in the preserved bundle but do not become
+selectable Narratio sources.
+
+Each accepted configured lane is registered as
+`narratio.extraction.<output_key>`. The bundle index is retained for audit and
+resume validation but is not selectable. Scriptorium and publish rules consume
+only explicitly named lane sources; `--artifacts` never selects Notarius lanes.
+
+## Failure And Compatibility Behavior
+
+- Startup and nonzero-exit errors fail extraction and retain captured diagnostics.
+- Invalid receipt JSON or an unsupported receipt schema fails before bundle use.
+- Unsafe or incompatible index data and required-lane rejection fail before the
+  staged bundle is promoted to durable storage.
+- Contract and external provenance metadata are preserved on lane artifact
+  records and through explicit publication.
+- Undeclared selectors, incompatible reference files, and external/generated
+  reference collisions are Notarius errors and fail extraction normally.
+
+Rejection, validation, warning, and diagnostic summaries retain bounded stable
+identity, category, origin, reason-code, status, and occurrence fields without
+copying free-form external messages into Narratio manifest metadata or reading
+lane payload bodies.
+
+Configuration fields and defaults are in [Configuration](../config.md).
+Operator paths, rerun procedures, and bundle retention are in
+[Operations](../operations.md). See [Troubleshooting](../troubleshooting.md)
+for failure recovery.
+
+## Opt-in Integration Test
+
+The production-boundary cache test requires an absolute path to a locally
+built Notarius v0.8.1-compatible executable. It uses only a local
+OpenAI-compatible `httptest` provider and temporary cache/config/output roots:
+
+```sh
+NARRATIO_TEST_NOTARIUS_BINARY=/absolute/path/to/notarius \
+  GOWORK=off go test ./internal/stage \
+  -run '^TestNotariusCacheReuseIntegration$' -count=1 -v
+```
+
+When the variable is unset, the normal test suite skips this test and never
+searches `PATH`, a sibling checkout, the network, or a real provider.

+# Canonical Party Input
+
+`party.yml` is a campaign-owned roster input. It must be a single, versioned
+`narratio.party.v1` document when Narratio resolves a pipeline, campaign, and
+session together.
+
+```yaml
+schema_version: narratio.party.v1
+
+characters:
+  arannis:
+    player:
+      name: Eric
+    character:
+      name: Arannis
+      alias:
+        - Ari
+        - The Grey Owl
+      classes:
+        - name: wizard
+          level: 8
+```
+
+`characters` is a non-empty mapping. Each key is a stable character ID using
+the configured-artifact key grammar: a lowercase ASCII letter followed by zero
+or more lowercase ASCII letters, digits, or underscores. Character order is
+preserved where roster order matters.
+
+Every entry has `player.name`, `character.name`, and a non-empty
+`character.classes` list. Class entries require a non-empty `name` and may
+include a positive integer `level`. The optional, intentionally singular
+`character.alias` field is a list. Names, aliases, and class names must be
+non-empty, trimmed display strings without control characters. Character names
+and aliases must be unique across the full roster under Unicode-aware
+case-insensitive comparison; player names may repeat.
+
+The document has exactly one YAML document and accepts no unknown fields.
+`schema_version` is required: a missing, wrong, or malformed value is an error.
+
+## Migration
+
+Unversioned party inputs are rejected. Replace each legacy party document with
+the versioned structure above, move each roster entry under `characters`, and
+remove separate player and session-party settings: those keys are unsupported.
+
+The configuration rules and source-relative path behavior are defined in the
+[Configuration Reference](../config.md).
+
+## Derived players document
+
+During `prepare`, Narratio copies the canonical party source bytes unchanged
+to `inputs/party.yml` and writes this deterministic players-only projection to
+`inputs/players.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+schema_version: narratio.players.v1
+players:
+    - name: Eric
+      character:
+        id: arannis
+        name: Arannis
+        alias:
+            - Ari
+            - The Grey Owl
+```
+
+There is one entry per character, sorted by stable character ID. Repeated
+player names remain separate entries. The optional `alias` list retains its
+declared order and is omitted when empty. The projection carries no class
+data. Its prepared manifest record is marked `derived_from_party`; it is not a
+separate user-provided `players_file`.

-# Narratio -> Scriptorium CLI Integration
+# Integration: Scriptorium
 
-## 1. Purpose
+## Purpose
+Define the Scriptorium adapter contract used by `analyze` and trim-bounds generation in `trim`.
 
-This document defines how Narratio should invoke Scriptorium through the **public CLI**.
+## External Boundary
 
-This is a **subprocess integration contract**, not an internal Go API contract.
-
-## 2. Assumptions
-
-- `scriptorium` is installed and available on `PATH`.
-- Scriptorium is configured with `config.yml`.
-- `config.yml` provides `prompt_dir`, `profile_dir`, and `schema_dir` as needed.
-- Prompt and profile libraries are already deployed for the environment.
-- Narratio provides prepared artifact files (for example polished transcript, glossary, previous recap, campaign notes).
-- Initial integration is synchronous subprocess execution.
-- Narratio remains the orchestrator.
-
-In normal operation, Narratio does not need to pass `--prompt-dir` and `--profile-dir` if they are supplied by Scriptorium config.
-
-Narratio may pass `--config <PATH>` when it must use a non-default Scriptorium config file.
-
-## 3. Core Commands Narratio May Call
-
-Primary commands for subprocess integration:
+Narratio invokes Scriptorium as a subprocess in these modes:
 
 - `scriptorium run`
 - `scriptorium render`
 
-For production generation, use `scriptorium run`.
-
-`scriptorium render` is for debugging, dry-runs, test assertions, and validating command construction without LLM execution.
-
-Note: `scriptorium serve` and HTTP API exist, but they are not the initial integration path.
-
-## 4. Command Selection Guidance
-
-- Use `run` to generate an output artifact.
-- Use `render` to inspect the prepared prompt and effective settings without calling the LLM.
-- Use `render --format json` when Narratio/tests need structured prepare output.
-
-## 5. Recommended `run` Invocation Shape
-
-Production shape:
-
-```bash
-scriptorium run \
-  --prompt <prompt_id> \
-  --input transcript=<processed-transcript-path> \
-  --out <output-artifact-path>
-```
-
-Common optional additions:
-
-- `--config <path>`: use a specific Scriptorium config file.
-- `--profile <profile_id>`: override prompt default profile.
-- `--var name=value` (repeatable): small metadata values.
-- `--input name=path` (repeatable): additional named artifacts.
-- `--timeout <duration>`: per-run timeout override.
-- Runtime model override flags (`--llm-base-url`, `--model`, etc.) only for exceptional/operator-directed cases.
-
-## 6. Recommended `render` Invocation Shape
-
-Human-readable debug shape:
-
-```bash
-scriptorium render \
-  --prompt <prompt_id> \
-  --input transcript=<processed-transcript-path> \
-  --format text
-```
-
-Structured debug/test shape:
-
-```bash
-scriptorium render \
-  --prompt <prompt_id> \
-  --input transcript=<processed-transcript-path> \
-  --format json \
-  --out <render-debug-path>
-```
-
-`render` does **not** call the LLM, does **not** validate model output, and does **not** perform repair.
-
-## 7. Inputs
-
-- Pass inputs as repeated `--input name=path` flags.
-- `name` must match the Prompt Definition input name.
-- Prefer absolute paths, or paths relative to a working directory controlled by Narratio.
-- Pass Audita output as the primary transcript input.
-- Additional inputs may include glossary, previous recap, campaign notes, event logs, final state maps, or other prompt-specific artifacts.
-- Scriptorium reads input files directly; Narratio does not need to inline file content for CLI use.
-
-## 8. Variables
-
-Use repeated `--var name=value` for small metadata values.
-
-Typical examples:
-
-- `session_date`
-- `session_id`
-- `campaign_name`
-- `previous_session_id`
-- `output_kind`
-
-Large content belongs in input files, not `--var` values.
-
-## 9. Prompt IDs and Output Artifact Types
-
-Narratio should treat prompt IDs as configuration, not hardcoded business logic.
-
-Narratio config may map stage/output names to prompt IDs, for example:
-
-- session recap prompt
-- structured event extraction prompt
-- glossary suggestion prompt
-- player-facing summary prompt
-
-Prompt IDs used by Narratio should come from the deployed Scriptorium prompt library.
-
-## 10. Profiles
-
-- Prompts may declare `default_profile`.
-- Narratio may omit `--profile` to use prompt default profile.
-- Narratio may pass `--profile` to force profile selection.
-- This enables environment/profile selection like `local-fast`, `local-quality`, `frontier`, `batch`, or test profiles.
-- Profile names should generally be Narratio configuration values.
-
-## 11. Runtime Overrides
-
-Supported runtime override flags:
-
-- `--llm-base-url`
-- `--model`
-- `--api-key-env`
-- `--temperature`
-- `--max-tokens`
-- `--top-p`
-- `--timeout`
-
-Guidance:
-
-- Keep normal model/runtime settings in Execution Profiles.
-- Use runtime overrides only for explicit per-run exceptions, tests, or operator overrides.
-- Never pass raw API keys on the command line.
-- `--api-key-env` names an environment variable; Narratio must ensure that variable is set in subprocess environment.
-
-## 12. Config Behavior
-
-- Default config path: `/etc/scriptorium/config.yml`.
-- `--config <PATH>` overrides default path.
-- Missing default config is allowed by Scriptorium.
-- If `--config` is provided explicitly, the file must exist and be valid.
-- CLI flags override `config.yml`.
-- `config.yml` overrides built-in application defaults.
-
-Narratio can either:
-
-- rely on system default config path, or
-- carry an explicit config path and pass `--config`.
-
-## 13. Environment Handling
-
-Subprocess environment recommendations:
-
-- Pass through required API-key environment variables referenced by `api_key_env`.
-- Do not pass raw API keys as CLI arguments.
-- Avoid logging full environment dumps.
-- Capture stdout and stderr separately.
-- Use a controlled working directory.
-- Prefer absolute artifact paths.
-
-## 14. Output Handling
-
-For `scriptorium run`:
-
-- Use `--out` when Narratio needs durable artifact files.
-- Without `--out`, artifact content is written to stdout.
-- Preferred orchestration pattern: always use `--out`, then treat the file as stage output artifact.
-- Capture stderr for diagnostics.
-
-For `scriptorium render`:
-
-- Use `--out` to store render diagnostics.
-- Use `--format json` when tests need to inspect selected profile, effective runtime settings, input hashes, prompt hash, and rendered messages.
-
-## 15. Exit Status and Errors
-
-Current CLI behavior (verified from implementation/tests):
-
-- `0`: success.
-- `1`: runtime/parse/config/load/render/generation/IO error.
-- `2`: run completed but output validation failed (`ValidationFailed`).
-
-Additional details:
-
-- On `run`, output artifact write happens before exit code selection. If validation fails, artifact may still be written and exit code is `2`.
-- `stderr` carries both errors and normal run summary output; non-empty stderr alone does not imply failure.
-- `render` returns `0` on success and `1` on failures.
-
-Narratio should treat non-zero exit codes as failed stage execution, but may record generated artifact paths if a run exited `2` and output file exists.
-
-## 16. Recommended Narratio Integration Pattern
-
-1. Build CLI args from Narratio stage configuration.
-2. Use subprocess context cancellation/timeout.
-3. Pass absolute input paths.
-4. Pass `--out` to a session-scoped artifact path.
-5. Add `--var` metadata values.
-6. Optionally add `--config`.
-7. Optionally add `--profile`.
-8. Ensure required API-key env vars are present.
-9. Run subprocess synchronously.
-10. Capture stdout/stderr separately.
-11. On success, store output artifact path and invocation metadata in stage artifacts.
-12. On failure, store exit code and stderr diagnostics in stage status.
-
-## 17. Suggested Narratio Configuration Shape
-
-Illustrative `pipeline.yml` shape:
-
-```yaml
-scriptorium:
-  binary: scriptorium
-  config_path: /etc/scriptorium/config.yml
-  timeout: 10m
-  render_debug: false
-  artifacts:
-    session_recap:
-      enabled: true
-      prompt_id: dnd.session_recap
-      profile_id: local-quality   # optional
-      output_path: artifacts/session_recap.md
-      timeout: 10m
-      render_debug: false          # optional artifact override
-      inputs:
-        transcript:
-          source: trimmed_transcript
-          required: true
-        previous_recap:
-          source: previous_session_artifact
-          artifact: session_recap
-          path: ""                 # optional
-          required: false
-      vars:
-        session_id: true
-        session_date: true
-        campaign_name: true
-        previous_session_id: true
-        output_kind: session_recap
-```
-
-The key idea: map Narratio artifact names to prompt ID, optional profile, expected inputs, vars, and output destination.
-
-## 18. Testing Strategy for Narratio Integration
-
-- Use `scriptorium render --format json` to verify command construction without LLM calls.
-- Use dedicated test prompt/profile libraries for integration tests.
-- Use small fixture transcripts.
-- Verify missing-input failure behavior.
-- Verify prompt `default_profile` behavior.
-- Verify explicit `--profile` override behavior.
-- Verify `--config` behavior (default and explicit).
-- Verify output file creation when `--out` is used.
-- Verify stderr capture on failures.
-- Avoid real API keys in tests.
-
-## 19. Security and Privacy Notes
-
-- Never pass raw API keys on command line.
-- Do not log full rendered prompts by default; transcripts may contain sensitive content.
-- Avoid logging prompt content unless explicit debug mode is enabled.
-- Treat generated artifacts as potentially sensitive.
-- Use session-scoped, access-controlled output paths.
-- `api_key_env` names should come from environment management, not embedded secrets.
-
-## 20. Initial D&D Artifact Generation Examples
-
-These are examples only. Use prompt IDs from the deployed prompt library.
-
-Session recap:
-
-```bash
-scriptorium run \
-  --prompt dnd.session_recap \
-  --input transcript=/work/session-42/transcript.polished.md \
-  --input glossary=/work/session-42/glossary.yml \
-  --out /work/session-42/artifacts/session_recap.md
-```
-
-Structured events:
-
-```bash
-scriptorium run \
-  --prompt dnd.structured_events \
-  --input transcript=/work/session-42/transcript.polished.md \
-  --out /work/session-42/artifacts/structured_events.json
-```
-
-Glossary suggestions:
-
-```bash
-scriptorium run \
-  --prompt dnd.glossary_suggestions \
-  --input transcript=/work/session-42/transcript.polished.md \
-  --input previous_recap=/work/session-41/artifacts/session_recap.md \
-  --out /work/session-42/artifacts/glossary_suggestions.md
-```
-
-Player-facing summary:
-
-```bash
-scriptorium run \
-  --prompt dnd.player_summary \
-  --input transcript=/work/session-42/transcript.polished.md \
-  --input structured_events=/work/session-42/artifacts/structured_events.json \
-  --out /work/session-42/artifacts/player_summary.md
-```
-
-## 21. Non-Goals
-
-Initial Narratio integration should not:
-
-- call Scriptorium internal Go packages
-- use HTTP API as the primary path
-- expect Scriptorium to read S3 refs directly
-- make Scriptorium responsible for Narratio stage state
-- make Scriptorium responsible for notification
-- require Scriptorium to understand D&D workflow semantics beyond prompt definitions
-
-## 22. Future Extension Notes
-
-Possible later extensions:
-
-- HTTP API integration
-- S3 artifact references if Scriptorium adds S3 reader support
-- richer render diagnostics and policy controls
-- token budgeting/prompt-size checks
-- batch execution if Scriptorium later adds batch support
+The request timeout and parent cancellation bound each invocation. Internal
+runner composition is documented in
+[the adapter implementation guide](../internal/adapters.md).
+
+## Request Contract
+Both request types carry:
+- binary/config/prompt/profile IDs;
+- input map and vars map;
+- output path;
+- timeout;
+- generated config + stdout/stderr log paths;
+- optional list of already-resolved credential references;
+- optional working directory.
+
+## Result Contract
+`ArtifactResult` returns:
+- output/log/generated-config paths;
+- exit code and duration;
+- command mode (`run` or `render`);
+- prompt/profile provenance;
+- `ValidationFailed` marker;
+- metadata map.
+
+## Validation and Failure Semantics
+Request validation fails for:
+- missing binary, prompt id, or output path;
+- non-positive timeout;
+- empty input/var names;
+- empty input path values;
+- unresolved or empty selected credential references.
+
+Both modes use the shared credential forwarding used by Audita and Notarius:
+selected names and captured values augment the minimal child environment, and
+all selected values are registered for captured-stream redaction. The adapter
+does not reread the parent environment or override Scriptorium's provider
+selection with `--api-key-env`. Generated invocation records and result metadata
+contain `credential_env_names`, never credential values. This does not scan or
+redact files written directly by Scriptorium. Selection semantics belong in
+[Scriptorium credentials](../config.md#scriptorium-credentials).
+
+Run behavior:
+- subprocess errors propagate with context;
+- `run` exit code `2` is mapped to `ValidationFailed=true`;
+- successful subprocess still fails if output file is missing or empty.
+
+Each artifact result is limited to 64 MiB and must be a regular file without
+symlinked path components.
+
+Render behavior:
+- subprocess errors propagate;
+- output file must exist and be non-empty.
+
+## Deterministic Behavior
+- input and var maps are sorted into deterministic `--input` and `--var` CLI args.
+- stage wiring adds `session_id=narratio-session-<session_id>` to every Scriptorium request for sticky upstream routing, overriding any configured `vars.session_id`.
+- generated invocation YAML (`scriptorium.generated.v1`) is emitted when requested.
+- adapter is stateless and does not own artifact-selection policy.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Operator-selected values are defined under `pipeline.scriptorium.*`, including
+per-artifact settings under `pipeline.scriptorium.artifacts.*`, in the
+[configuration reference](../config.md#pipeline).
+
+Maintained examples with Scriptorium config:
+
+- [Full annotated pipeline](../../examples/pipeline.full.annotated.yml)
+- [Production-shaped pipeline](../../examples/pipeline.production.yml)

+# Integration: Seriatim
 
-`seriatim` merges per-speaker WhisperX-style JSON transcripts into a single JSON transcript that preserves speaker identity and chronological order.
+## Purpose
+Define the Seriatim adapter contract used by `merge`, `normalize`, `trim`, and `render`.
 
-The current implementation supports the `merge` command. It reads one or more input JSON files, optionally maps each input file to a canonical speaker using `speakers.yml`, sorts all segments by timestamp, detects and resolves overlaps when word-level timing is available, assigns consecutive numeric `id` values, and writes a merged JSON artifact.
+## External Boundary
 
-## Usage
+Narratio invokes Seriatim as a subprocess in these modes:
 
-Run from source:
+- `seriatim merge`
+- `seriatim normalize`
+- `seriatim trim`
+- `seriatim render`
 
-```sh
-go run ./cmd/seriatim merge \
-  --input-file samples/raw/2026-04-19-Eric_Rakestraw.json \
-  --input-file samples/raw/2026-04-19-Mike_Brown.json \
-  --output-file merged.json
-```
+The configured timeout and parent cancellation bound each invocation. Internal
+runner composition is documented in
+[the adapter implementation guide](../internal/adapters.md).
 
-Optional report output:
+## Request/Result Contracts
+- `MergeRequest`/`MergeResult`: multi-input merge to base transcript, optional report.
+- `NormalizeRequest`/`NormalizeResult`: transcript normalization with explicit schema.
+- `TrimRequest`/`TrimResult`: transcript trimming with required keep selector.
+- `RenderRequest`/`RenderResult`: transcript-to-markdown rendering with explicit format and render booleans.
 
-```sh
-go run ./cmd/seriatim merge \
-  --input-file eric.json \
-  --input-file mike.json \
-  --output-file merged.json \
-  --report-file report.json
-```
+Results include output/log/config paths, timing, exit code, and metadata.
 
-## CLI
+## Validation and Failure Semantics
+Runner construction validates:
+- binary presence;
+- timeout > 0;
+- supported output schema (`seriatim-minimal|seriatim-intermediate|seriatim-full`);
+- non-negative coalesce gap.
 
-```text
-seriatim merge [flags]
-```
+Invocation fails on:
+- missing required request paths/inputs;
+- invalid normalize schema override;
+- unsupported render format;
+- subprocess failure;
+- invalid JSON outputs for merge/normalize/trim;
+- missing `segments` array for normalize/trim transcript outputs;
+- empty render output files.
 
-Global flags:
+When report paths are provided/enabled, report files must parse as JSON.
+Each Seriatim JSON or rendered-text result is limited to 64 MiB and must be a
+regular file without symlinked path components.
 
-| Flag | Description |
-| --- | --- |
-| `--help` | Show command help. |
-| `--version` | Show application version. Local builds default to `dev`; release builds inject the release version. |
+## Deterministic Behavior
+- argument ordering is deterministic per command construction.
+- merge env overrides are explicit (`SERIATIM_*`) and only emitted when configured.
+- generated invocation YAML (`seriatim.generated.v1`) is emitted when requested.
+- adapter does not write manifests or choose stage inputs.

-| `--postprocessing-modules` | No | `detect-overlaps,resolve-overlaps,backchannel,filler,resolve-danglers,coalesce,detect-overlaps,autocorrect,assign-ids,validate-output` | Comma-separated postprocessing modules, evaluated in order. |
-| `--coalesce-gap` | No | `3.0` | Maximum same-speaker gap in seconds for `coalesce`; also used as the `resolve-overlaps` context window. Must be a non-negative float. |
+Operator-selected values are defined under `pipeline.seriatim.*` and
+`pipeline.render.*` in the
+[configuration reference](../config.md#pipeline).

-| `SERIATIM_OUTPUT_SCHEMA` | `seriatim-intermediate` | Output schema used when `--output-schema` is not explicitly provided. Allowed values are `seriatim-minimal`, `seriatim-intermediate`, and `seriatim-full`. The CLI flag takes precedence. |
-| `SERIATIM_OVERLAP_WORD_RUN_GAP` | `1.0` | Maximum gap in seconds between adjacent timed words when `resolve-overlaps` builds word-run replacement segments. Must be a positive float. |
-| `SERIATIM_OVERLAP_WORD_RUN_REORDER_WINDOW` | `1.0` | Near-start window in seconds for ordering replacement word runs shortest-first. Must be a positive float. |
-| `SERIATIM_BACKCHANNEL_MAX_DURATION` | `2.0` | Maximum duration in seconds for `backchannel` classification. Must be a positive float. |
-| `SERIATIM_FILLER_MAX_DURATION` | `1.25` | Maximum duration in seconds for `filler` classification. Must be a positive float. |
-
-## Input JSON Format
-
-Each input file must be valid JSON with a top-level `segments` array. The current parser accepts the WhisperX segment subset needed for merging:
-
-```json
-{
-  "segments": [
-    {
-      "start": 1.25,
-      "end": 3.5,
-      "text": "Hello there.",
-      "words": [
-        {"word": "Hello", "start": 1.25, "end": 1.55, "score": 0.98},
-        {"word": "there.", "start": 1.7, "end": 2.0}
-      ]
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-Required segment fields:
-
-- `start`: number, must be `>= 0`.
-- `end`: number, must be `>= start`.
-- `text`: string.
-
-Optional word fields:
-
-- `words`: array of word timing objects.
-- `words[].word`: string.
-- `words[].start`: optional number, must be `>= 0` when present.
-- `words[].end`: optional number, must be `>= start` when present with `start`.
-- `words[].score`: optional number.
-- `words[].speaker`: optional raw speaker label string.
-
-Word-level timing is preserved internally for overlap resolution. If a word is missing `start` or `end`, seriatim keeps the word text, emits a warning in the optional report, and does not use that word as a timing anchor. Word timing is not emitted in the final JSON artifact.
-
-## Speaker Map Format
-
-`speakers.yml` maps input files to canonical speaker names using ordered substring rules:
-
-This file is optional. If `--speakers` is omitted, `seriatim` uses each input file basename as the segment speaker label.
-
-```yaml
-match:
-  - speaker: "Eric Rakestraw"
-    match:
-      - "Eric_Rakestraw"
-      - "Eric"
-
-  - speaker: "Mike Brown"
-    match:
-      - "Mike_Brown"
-      - "mb"
-```
-
-For each `--input-file`, `seriatim` takes the file basename and evaluates the rules in order. The first rule with a matching substring wins, and no later rules are evaluated.
-
-For example, this input:
-
-```text
-samples/raw/2026-04-19-Eric_Rakestraw.json
-```
-
-matches this rule because the basename contains `Eric_Rakestraw`:
-
-```yaml
-- speaker: "Eric Rakestraw"
-  match:
-    - "Eric_Rakestraw"
-```
-
-Important details:
-
-- Matching is against the input file basename, not the full path.
-- Matching is case-insensitive.
-- Rules are evaluated from first to last.
-- Each rule must have a non-empty `speaker`.
-- Each rule must have at least one non-empty `match` string.
-- Duplicate speaker names are invalid.
-- Every input file must match at least one rule or the command fails.
-
-Deprecated old format:
-
-```yaml
-inputs:
-  eric.json:
-    speaker: "Eric Rakestraw"
-```
-
-The old `inputs:` direct mapping format is no longer supported.
-
-## Output JSON Format
-
-`--output-modules json` controls the writer. `--output-schema` controls the JSON contract that writer serializes.
-
-The named schemas are stable public contracts. If a consumer depends on a specific shape, it should request that schema explicitly at runtime. The runtime default selection may change in a future release.
-
-The `seriatim-intermediate` schema is the current default selection when neither `--output-schema` nor `SERIATIM_OUTPUT_SCHEMA` is set. It stays close to the minimal schema, but adds optional `categories` on each segment:
-
-```json
-{
-  "metadata": {
-    "application": "seriatim",
-    "version": "dev",
-    "output_schema": "seriatim-intermediate"
-  },
-  "segments": [
-    {
-      "id": 1,
-      "start": 1.25,
-      "end": 3.5,
-      "speaker": "Eric Rakestraw",
-      "text": "Hello there.",
-      "categories": ["backchannel"]
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-The `seriatim-full` schema uses the full seriatim envelope:
-
-```json
-{
-  "metadata": {
-    "application": "seriatim",
-    "version": "dev",
-    "input_reader": "json-files",
-    "input_files": ["eric.json", "mike.json"],
-    "preprocessing_modules": ["validate-raw", "normalize-speakers", "trim-text"],
-    "postprocessing_modules": ["detect-overlaps", "resolve-overlaps", "backchannel", "filler", "resolve-danglers", "coalesce", "detect-overlaps", "autocorrect", "assign-ids", "validate-output"],
-    "output_modules": ["json"]
-  },
-  "segments": [
-    {
-      "id": 1,
-      "source": "eric.json",
-      "source_segment_index": 0,
-      "speaker": "Eric Rakestraw",
-      "start": 1.25,
-      "end": 3.5,
-      "text": "Hello there.",
-      "overlap_group_id": 1
-    },
-    {
-      "id": 2,
-      "source": "eric.json",
-      "source_ref": "word-run:1:1:1",
-      "derived_from": ["eric.json#0"],
-      "speaker": "Eric Rakestraw",
-      "start": 2.0,
-      "end": 2.5,
-      "text": "Resolved word run",
-      "categories": ["backchannel"]
-    }
-  ],
-  "overlap_groups": [
-    {
-      "id": 1,
-      "start": 1.25,
-      "end": 4.0,
-      "segments": ["eric.json#0", "mike.json#0"],
-      "speakers": ["Eric Rakestraw", "Mike Brown"],
-      "class": "unknown",
-      "resolution": "unresolved"
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-The `seriatim-minimal` schema emits minimal metadata and compact ordered segments:
-
-```json
-{
-  "metadata": {
-    "application": "seriatim",
-    "version": "dev",
-    "output_schema": "seriatim-minimal"
-  },
-  "segments": [
-    {
-      "id": 1,
-      "start": 1.25,
-      "end": 3.5,
-      "speaker": "Eric Rakestraw",
-      "text": "Hello there."
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-Minimal output intentionally omits categories, overlap groups, source/provenance fields, and pipeline configuration metadata.
-
-Intermediate output intentionally omits overlap groups and source/provenance fields, but keeps optional `categories` and minimal metadata.
-
-Segments are sorted deterministically by:
-
-```text
-(start, end, source, source_segment_index/source_ref, speaker)
-```
-
-Final segment IDs are assigned after sorting and start at `1`.
-
-The public Go output contract is available from:
-
-```go
-import "gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/seriatim/schema"
-```
-
-The same package embeds machine-readable JSON Schemas in `schema/full-output.schema.json`, `schema/intermediate-output.schema.json`, and `schema/minimal-output.schema.json`. The default `validate-output` postprocessor validates the selected output shape and verifies final segment IDs are present, sequential, and start at `1`.
-
-## Overlap Detection
-
-The default postprocessing pipeline detects overlapping segment groups.
-
-Overlap behavior:
-
-- A strict timing overlap is required: `next.start < current_group_end`.
-- Segments that only touch at a boundary are not grouped.
-- Groups require at least two distinct speakers.
-- Transitive overlaps are grouped together.
-- Segments in detected groups receive `overlap_group_id`.
-- `overlap_groups[].segments` contains stable references in `source#source_segment_index` format.
-- `class` is currently `unknown`.
-- `resolution` is `unresolved` until `resolve-overlaps` replaces the group.
-
-## Overlap Resolution
-
-The default postprocessing pipeline runs `detect-overlaps`, then `resolve-overlaps`, then `backchannel`, then `filler`, then `resolve-danglers`, then `coalesce`, then a second `detect-overlaps` pass.
-
-For each detected overlap group, `resolve-overlaps` uses preserved WhisperX word timing to build smaller word-run replacement segments:
-
-- The resolution window expands the detected overlap group by `--coalesce-gap` seconds on both sides.
-- Nearby same-speaker context segments are included when they intersect the expanded window and their start or end is within `--coalesce-gap` of the original overlap boundary.
-- Once a segment is selected for replacement, all timed words from that segment participate in word-run construction; the window controls segment selection, not per-word clipping.
-- Context segments that are part of another detected overlap group are not pulled into the current group.
-- Untimed words are included in replacement text in original word order when nearby timed words create a replacement run.
-- Untimed words do not affect replacement segment start/end times or word-run gap splitting.
-- Words for the same speaker are merged into one run when the gap between adjacent words is no greater than `SERIATIM_OVERLAP_WORD_RUN_GAP`.
-- The default word-run gap is `1.0` seconds.
-- Set `SERIATIM_OVERLAP_WORD_RUN_GAP` to a positive number of seconds to override the default.
-- Near-start replacement word runs are reordered so shorter segments come first when adjacent starts are within `SERIATIM_OVERLAP_WORD_RUN_REORDER_WINDOW`.
-- The default word-run reorder window is `1.0` seconds.
-- Set `SERIATIM_OVERLAP_WORD_RUN_REORDER_WINDOW` to a positive number of seconds to override the default.
-- Replacement segment text is built by joining word text with single spaces.
-- Replacement segments include `source_ref` and `derived_from`.
-- Replacement segments omit `source_segment_index` because they are derived from one or more original segments.
-- Resolved overlap groups are removed before the second detection pass.
-- Replacement segments are left without `overlap_group_id` until the second detection pass annotates any remaining overlap.
-- If a speaker has no usable word timing in a group, that speaker's original segment is kept.
-- If no speakers in a group have usable word timing, the original group and annotations remain unchanged.
-
-## Backchannels
-
-The default pipeline runs `backchannel` before `coalesce`. It tags short acknowledgement segments with:
-
-```json
-"categories": ["backchannel"]
-```
-
-Backchannel matching is case-insensitive, ignores punctuation for matching and word-count purposes, trims surrounding whitespace, and requires a matching acknowledgement phrase, no more than three whitespace-delimited words, and duration no greater than `SERIATIM_BACKCHANNEL_MAX_DURATION` seconds. The default maximum duration is `2.0` seconds.
-
-## Fillers
-
-The default pipeline runs `filler` after `backchannel` and before `coalesce`. It tags short filler utterances with:
-
-```json
-"categories": ["filler"]
-```
-
-Filler matching is case-insensitive, ignores punctuation for matching and word-count purposes, trims surrounding whitespace, and requires only filler tokens such as `um`, `uh`, `er`, `erm`, `ah`, `eh`, `hmm`, `mm`, or repeated combinations of those tokens. Matching segments must contain no more than three whitespace-delimited words and have duration no greater than `SERIATIM_FILLER_MAX_DURATION` seconds. The default maximum duration is `1.25` seconds.
-
-## Dangler Resolution
-
-The default pipeline runs `resolve-danglers` before `coalesce` and before the second overlap detection pass. It repairs short derived fragments when they share provenance with a nearby segment:
-
-- Dangling-end fragments have no more than two words and end in punctuation.
-- Dangling-start fragments have no more than two words.
-- Matching uses same-speaker segments with any shared `derived_from` value.
-- Merged segments use `source_ref` values such as `resolve-danglers:1`, keep the target segment's transcript position, and union `derived_from`.
-
-## Coalescing
-
-The default pipeline runs `coalesce` after `resolve-danglers` and before the second overlap detection pass. It merges adjacent same-speaker segments in the transcript's current order when `next.start - current.end <= --coalesce-gap`.
-
-Coalesced segments use `source_ref` values such as `coalesce:1`, include `derived_from`, and omit `source_segment_index`.
-
-Different-speaker backchannel and filler segments do not block coalescing of surrounding same-speaker segments. Same-speaker backchannel and filler segments are merged normally when they are within `--coalesce-gap`. When same-speaker segments are coalesced, any `backchannel` or `filler` category from the merged inputs is dropped from the coalesced segment.
-
-## Autocorrect
-
-Autocorrect is included in the default postprocessing pipeline. If `--autocorrect` is omitted, the module leaves transcript text unchanged and records a skip event in the optional report.
-
-Enable corrections by passing `--autocorrect`:
-
-```sh
-go run ./cmd/seriatim merge \
-  --input-file input.json \
-  --autocorrect autocorrect.yml \
-  --output-file merged.json
-```
-
-`autocorrect.yml` format:
-
-```yaml
-autocorrect:
-  - target: "Hrank"
-    match:
-      - "hrank"
-      - "Frank"
-
-  - target: "Mike Brown"
-    match:
-      - "Mike Pat"
-```
-
-Matching behavior:
-
-- Matching is case-sensitive.
-- Matches apply only to whole tokens, not substrings inside larger words.
-- Punctuation and whitespace can surround a match.
-- Multi-word and hyphenated matches are supported.
-- Duplicate match strings are invalid, including duplicates across separate rules.
-
-## Current Limitations
-
-- Only JSON input is supported.
-- Overlap resolution depends on WhisperX word timing; groups without usable word timing remain unresolved.
-- Alternate output formats are not implemented yet.
-
-## Release Builds
-
-Local builds record version metadata as `dev`. Release builds should inject the release version with `ldflags`:
-
-```sh
-go build -ldflags "-X gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/seriatim/internal/buildinfo.Version=v1.0.0" ./cmd/seriatim
-```

+# Integration: WhisperX
+
+## Purpose
+
+WhisperX transcribes each prepared speaker audio file for Narratio's
+`transcribe` stage. Narratio uses an HTTP boundary and installs each successful
+response as that speaker's raw transcript JSON.
+
+## HTTP Boundary
+
+Narratio sends an HTTP `POST` to the configured transcription URL using
+`multipart/form-data` with:
+
+- `file`: the audio file, retaining its base filename; and
+- `language`: the configured language string.
+
+The server must return a `2xx` response whose body is valid JSON. Narratio does
+not currently require a more specific response schema at this boundary.
+
+The transcription URL must be an absolute `http` or `https` URL. Each
+application attempt creates one bounded multipart framing and streams the audio
+from an open file between that framing; it does not buffer the complete audio
+or spool a multipart copy. The file field precedes the language field.
+WhisperX response acquisition is capped at 10 MiB.
+
+The initial request body and any transport-requested replay use the same
+multipart boundary and framing. Every body opens an independent audio handle
+and replay starts at the beginning. Narratio closes all bodies created for the
+attempt on response, failure, timeout, or cancellation, including when a
+transport abandons an earlier body. Genuine source read/close failures remain
+request failures; deliberate early closure of an abandoned original does not
+poison a valid replay.
+
+## Request And Result Contract
+
+Each adapter request identifies a speaker, a readable audio file, and the
+destination for the raw transcript. The HTTP request carries the audio and
+language; the speaker identifier remains Narratio orchestration metadata.
+
+On success, Narratio atomically writes the response body to the requested
+destination. The adapter result reports that logical output together with the
+attempt count, final HTTP status when available, elapsed duration, and adapter
+identity metadata. A failed or invalid response is not installed as the
+transcript output.
+
+## Retry, Timeout, And Cancellation
+
+- The configured timeout applies independently to each HTTP attempt.
+- `retries` means additional attempts after the first.
+- HTTP `429`, HTTP `5xx`, attempt timeouts, and network errors are retryable.
+- Other HTTP `4xx` responses and explicit cancellation are not retryable.
+- Narratio waits the configured retry delay between attempts and aborts that
+  wait when the parent context is canceled.
+
+Transport replay occurs inside one application attempt and does not consume an
+entry from the configured retry budget or increment the reported attempt
+count. The standard HTTP redirect policy remains in effect; body replay can
+also support body-preserving redirects.
+
+## Validation And Failure Semantics
+
+Client construction rejects a missing or non-HTTP(S) absolute transcription URL,
+a missing language, a non-positive timeout, negative retries, or a negative
+retry delay. A request fails before transmission when its audio or output path
+is missing.
+
+Non-`2xx` status, transport failure, response-size overflow, invalid JSON, or
+failure to install the output causes the transcription to fail. Errors include
+attempt context, and the result retains attempts, final status when available,
+and elapsed duration for diagnostics.
+
+Replay makes a fresh request body available to the HTTP transport; it does not
+provide an exactly-once server guarantee and does not prove recovery from every
+proxy or protocol-level failure. A server may have received work before the
+client learns that a request failed. WhisperX operations should therefore be
+safe to retry for the same input when practical.
+
+## Determinism And Concurrency
+
+Each audio request has stable multipart field names, and successful bytes are
+installed atomically. The transcribe stage may process speaker files in
+parallel, bounded by the configured concurrency. Each validated speaker is
+checkpointed independently; any speaker failure still fails the aggregate
+stage, while committed earlier speakers remain reusable on an ordinary retry.

+# Internal: Adapters
+
+## Purpose
+
+Explain the adapter interfaces and production composition used by application
+and stage orchestration. Externally observable protocols and formats belong in
+the [integration contracts](../integrations/).
+
+## Adapter Boundaries
+
+Narratio stage logic depends on adapter interfaces, not transport-specific details.
+
+Primary adapters:
+
+- `whisperx.Client`
+- `seriatim.Runner`
+- `audita.Runner`
+- `scriptorium.Runner`
+- `notarius.Runner`
+- `storage.ObjectStore`
+- `notify.Sender`
+
+## Ownership
+
+Adapters own:
+
+- HTTP/subprocess/SDK argument and transport details.
+- Backend-specific request/response mapping.
+
+Adapters do not own:
+
+- stage ordering/skip/force logic;
+- manifest transitions;
+- canonical path policy.
+
+## Default Wiring
+
+The application composes default adapters per invocation when they were not
+injected through the stage environment, and only when the selected execution
+plan needs them:
+
+- WhisperX HTTP client for `transcribe`.
+- Seriatim subprocess runner for `merge`, `normalize`, `trim`, or `render`.
+- Audita subprocess runner for `polish`.
+- Scriptorium subprocess runner for `trim` or `analyze`.
+- Notarius subprocess runner for `extract` when extraction is enabled.
+- Noop notifier (`notify.NoopSender`) for `notify`.
+- Object store only when required by selected stages/config.
+
+Remote publish locks are loaded only for a selected, enabled publish that
+uploads a run. Shared session lifecycle setup still applies to every selected
+range, but an unselected integration is neither initialized nor validated by
+application-owned composition. Constructor, clock, randomness, remote-lock,
+and post-publish deletion boundaries are scoped to the invocation; stages still
+receive their collaborators through the stage environment. Each selected stage
+retains its own fail-fast configuration and input validation.
+
+`session plan` is outside production adapter composition. It performs
+resume validation and models selected transitions against cloned manifest
+state without constructing or invoking stage-execution adapters. The shared
+command configuration loader may still use object storage to retrieve a missing
+remote session file before planning begins.
+
+Notarius is composed only when extraction is enabled; the extract stage owns
+prepared reference resolution, receipt, bundle, and configured-lane policy.
+The adapter validates the ordered selector/absolute-path pairs and is the sole
+owner of serializing them as repeated `--reference` arguments before `--json`.
+It also serializes an effective resume request as `--resume` and a nonempty
+validated chunk mode as `--chunk_cache <mode>`. The extract stage, not the
+adapter, resolves force precedence before constructing the request.
+Its request may also carry already-resolved ConfigKit secret references.
+Audita and Scriptorium requests carry the same kind of list. All three adapters use the shared
+subprocess helper to convert their selected references into exact-name child
+environment overrides and sensitive-name registration. That helper rejects
+unresolved or empty programmatic references, but no adapter rereads the
+parent environment or inspects downstream configuration to discover names.
+Empty lists add no credential overrides. See the public [Audita](../integrations/audita.md)
+[Notarius](../integrations/notarius.md), and [Scriptorium](../integrations/scriptorium.md) contracts for selection and
+downstream-file boundaries.
+
+Application-owned object-store construction loads configured filesystem
+secrets before invoking the invocation's storage factory. Production commands
+use the concrete storage adapter constructor; focused tests can supply an
+in-memory backend without changing package state.
+
+## Failure Semantics
+
+- Constructor errors fail stage execution setup early.
+- Runtime adapter errors propagate to stage code and then manifest failure handling.
+- Subprocess adapters persist stage logs/generated configs through stage-managed paths.
+- Shared subprocess execution keeps private lifecycle mechanics separate from
+  Narratio's environment, diagnostics, redaction, and error policy. It starts
+  an owned process group on Linux and macOS. Every terminal path disposes of
+  that owned tree before returning. After a natural leader exit, the runner checks
+  for remaining group members and uses bounded graceful then forceful termination.
+  Cancellation, deadlines, and
+  diagnostic limits use the same terminal disposal path without losing their
+  original result classification. Child environments contain only the execution
+  baseline and adapter-specified values; configured credentials are resolved
+  once by ConfigKit and passed explicitly as sensitive values. Adapters do not
+  re-read their named environment references. Stdout and stderr are redacted while streaming into separate
+  8 MiB diagnostic captures; a bounded wait closes a stream retained by a
+  departed leader's descendant. Unsupported platforms reject owned command
+  execution.

+# Internal: Artifacts
+
+## Purpose
+
+Explain the artifact registry, runtime catalog, resolver, previous-input
+requirements, and shared remote current-state mechanics implemented by
+`internal/artifacts`. Configuration fields that accept source IDs belong in
+[Configuration](../config.md); physical placement belongs in
+[Operations](../operations.md).
+
+## Built-in Source IDs
+
+The internal registry recognizes these stable built-in source IDs:
+
+- `narratio.transcript.base`
+- `narratio.transcript.polished`
+- `narratio.transcript.final`
+- `narratio.transcript.final_trimmed`
+- `narratio.transcript.final_markdown`
+- `narratio.transcript.final_trimmed_markdown`
+- `narratio.bounds.session`
+
+Registry entries bind each ID to its producer, output kind, and content
+validator. The focused stage documents own their input/output flow;
+[Configuration](../config.md) owns where operators may select these IDs.
+
+## Configured, Extraction, And Previous-Session Sources
+
+- configured source ID format: `narratio.artifact.<artifact_key>`
+- extraction source ID format: `narratio.extraction.<output_key>`
+- previous-session source ID format: `narratio.previous_session.artifact.<artifact_key>`
+
+All formats are validated by strict source-policy rules. Configured artifact and
+extraction keys use `^[a-z][a-z0-9_]*$`; source parsers never normalize an
+unrecognized token into a valid source. Extraction sources are registered only
+from `pipeline.notarius.outputs`; the Notarius index has no selectable source
+ID.
+
+Prepared stable source IDs are `narratio.input.players`,
+`narratio.input.party`, `narratio.input.glossary`, and
+`narratio.input.spell_catalog`. Artifact policy owns their canonical manifest
+kind and prepared filename vocabulary. Canonical party mode preserves the
+party source bytes in the party record and supplies the players record from the
+deterministic `derived_from_party` projection; both remain ordinary prepared
+source IDs for consumers.
+
+## Runtime Catalog
+
+`ArtifactCatalog` tracks:
+
+- `planned`: source registered for run context;
+- `executable`: included in the effective analyze artifact set;
+- `available`: the source's canonical evidence owner validates its current
+  manifest record and durable bytes;
+- `provenance`: availability source.
+
+Configured definitions are always registered. Without an explicit selection,
+the effective analyze set contains enabled definitions. With `--artifacts`, the
+exact named configured definitions become the effective set for that invocation,
+regardless of their `enabled` value. The effective-set resolver itself does not
+expand dependencies. Configuration has already materialized the sorted union of
+explicit ordering edges and configured-artifact input edges, and the analyze
+work planner closes targets over that one concrete prerequisite graph.
+Availability is separate from executability. Configuration may normalize a
+family selection into its concrete generated members before this resolver runs.
+The effective set retains optional family
+and character origin metadata, but its keys, catalog sources, and runtime
+lookups remain concrete configured-artifact identities.
+Family publish policies are likewise expanded into ordinary configured-source
+publish rules during configuration resolution.
+Configured outputs, including non-executable prerequisites, become available
+only when the versioned analyze state identifies a current result whose source,
+contract, canonical configured path, size, and checksum match a confined
+no-follow regular file. An incidental canonical file is unavailable, and a
+manifest with an unsupported aggregate-only representation is rejected before
+catalog construction.
+Extraction entries are registered from configuration and become available only
+after compatible extraction evidence is hydrated.
+
+During an analyze invocation, a newly validated and atomically materialized
+configured output is marked available with its producer run ID, contract,
+checksum, and size. Later scheduled dependents therefore observe the same
+semantic identity whether their prerequisite was reused from current manifest
+evidence or produced earlier in the invocation.
+
+Current provenance values:
+
+- `generated.current_analyze_run`
+- `manifest.current_analyze_artifact`
+- `manifest.inputs.previous_cache`
+- `current_session.previous_cache`
+
+## Resolution Rules
+
+Built-ins:
+
+- resolve only from the current manifest's succeeded registered producer;
+- require exactly one output with the registered source ID and output kind, a
+  safe session-rooted path, producer run ID, canonical checksum, and valid
+  content; and
+- verify the registered checksum against the durable bytes. Incidental files,
+  canonical filenames, duplicate outputs, failed/stale producer records, and
+  malformed evidence are unavailable.
+
+Configured sources (`narratio.artifact.*`):
+
+- resolve only through runtime catalog availability;
+- use the shared typed analyze-evidence inspection in
+  `analyze_evidence.go` for prior current-session results;
+- require the supported analyze-state and fingerprint versions, a `current`
+  record for the exact configured key and source ID, a complete contract, the
+  configured canonical relative path, positive stored size, and stored
+  checksum matching bytes read from a confined no-follow regular file; and
+- treat non-current statuses, malformed records, removed keys,
+  unsafe or missing files, and size/checksum mismatches as unavailable without
+  rewriting manifest state. Catalog construction iterates current
+  configuration, so removed or renamed records are not advertised.
+
+`narratio.member_artifact.*` is not a runtime source family. Configuration
+resolution accepts it only in an artifact-family declaration and rewrites it
+to the corresponding configured source before this catalog is built.
+
+Prepared stable sources (`narratio.input.*`):
+
+- resolve only from the current manifest's exact prepared-input record;
+- require the policy-owned canonical path below the session root, a confined
+  non-symlink regular file, a non-empty payload, and a matching SHA-256
+  checksum; and
+- return an immutable source/path/checksum/size identity shared by extract and
+  analyze rather than falling back to campaign/session source paths.
+
+Extraction sources (`narratio.extraction.*`):
+
+- use the shared typed bundle evidence inspection in `extraction_evidence.go`;
+- require a current successful extract record with the exact configured source,
+  compatible contract and Notarius provenance, a confined regular durable
+  payload, matching checksum, and the current resolved trimmed-transcript
+  identity;
+- remain unavailable unless catalog hydration receives valid evidence. Resume
+  treats absent or obsolete evidence as a rerun decision and unsafe evidence as
+  an error; and
+- are never inferred by scanning the Notarius bundle directory.
+
+Previous-session sources (`narratio.previous_session.artifact.*`):
+
+- resolve only from one matching `previous_artifact` input record in the
+  current manifest, including its exact source ID and checksum;
+- are hydrated only from the unique `published_output` declaration for their
+  canonical source in the selected remote commit; and
+- never infer a path from a previous manifest, current configuration, basename,
+  or existing cache file.
+
+Source absence is evaluated by the consuming artifact input. An optional input
+is omitted from that invocation; a required input fails resolution. This is
+separate from a stage's lifecycle outcome.
+
+Validation by content type:
+
+- transcript JSON built-ins: JSON with top-level `segments` array;
+- transcript Markdown built-ins: non-empty text file;
+- bounds built-in: valid JSON;
+- configured/previous-session artifact files: non-empty text file.
+
+## Previous Requirement Collection
+
+`CollectPreviousArtifactRequirements`:
+
+- scans the effective configured artifact set;
+- extracts only canonical previous-session sources;
+- deduplicates by artifact key;
+- merges required and optional references (required wins);
+- returns deterministic ordering and source locations.
+
+## Current-State Helpers
+
+Artifacts package owns shared remote current-state loading mechanics used by
+restore, status and validation checks, and previous-cache planning.
+
+The selected session manifest is accepted only with
+`schema_version: narratio.session-manifest.v1` and complete stage identity.
+An unsupported local or downloaded manifest must be replaced by regeneration,
+verified restore, or republication; artifact resolution never fills in missing
+authority markers.
+
+For a new-protocol current state, the pointer-selected immutable commit is the
+complete restore authority. Callers receive its declared object identities and
+must not supplement them by listing mutable session prefixes.
+
+A `published_output` declaration must use a canonical publish-compatible source
+ID and an exact `runs/{run_id}/published/{destination}` key in the same session.
+Only this declaration type may refer to an earlier run; other declared objects
+remain confined to the selected commit's run.
+
+The reader opens each small control object directly and enforces owner-specific
+limits before decoding: 64 KiB for the mutable commit pointer, 4 MiB for the
+immutable commit manifest, and 8 MiB for the selected session manifest. These
+are exposed as `MaxCurrentCommitPointerBytes`,
+`MaxRemoteCommitManifestBytes`, and `MaxRemoteSessionManifestBytes`.
+
+Each read uses the generation and size metadata returned with its opened body.
+Actual bytes remain subject to a limit-plus-one read even if size metadata is
+absent or inaccurate. Immutable selections then retain their declared-size,
+checksum, generation, and identity checks. No current-state control object is
+downloaded through a temporary file. Artifact and previous-session downloads
+validate their complete sibling temporary file against available committed
+identity before replacing a canonical local path.
+
+Core helpers:
+
+- `LoadCurrentState`
+- `ValidateCurrentStateIdentity`
+- `RemoteCommitManifest` and `CurrentCommitPointer`
+
+Typed missing-state error:
+
+- `CurrentCommitPointerMissingError` (`ErrCurrentCommitPointerMissing`)
+
+Identity validation supports caller-provided expectations:
+
+- expected campaign;
+- expected session ID;
+- expected run ID, or pointer/manifest run-ID consistency check.
+
+Caller policy is intentionally outside artifacts helpers:
+
+- some callers fail on missing current state;
+- some callers downgrade missing state to status/findings;
+- some callers skip optional behavior when state is missing.
+
+## Remote Lock Objects
+
+The artifacts package defines the independent remote-lock payload and identity
+contract. Each canonical publish source maps to one object below the validated
+session `locks/` prefix; its filename is the lowercase SHA-256 digest of the
+exact source followed by `.lock`.
+
+Lock payloads are strict versioned JSON containing the canonical source, an
+optional reason, and a UTC creation time. Reads are bounded to
+`MaxRemoteLockObjectBytes` (64 KiB), reject unknown fields and trailing values,
+and verify that the payload source matches the key digest. Exact lookup reports
+presence explicitly, prefix listing validates every object and sorts by source,
+creation uses an absence precondition, forced replacement uses one observed
+generation, and removal is idempotent.
+
+## Key Path Helpers
+
+`internal/artifacts/paths.go` and S3-key helpers define canonical helpers for:
+
+- session/work/run paths;
+- previous-cache paths;
+- spool/cache paths;
+- S3 session/run/current-state key layout.
+
+New publication creates run-scoped immutable objects, including
+`runs/{run_id}/commit.json` and `runs/{run_id}/session-manifest.json`. The sole
+mutable selector is `current/commit-pointer.json`; readers verify its selected
+commit and declared object generations/checksums.
+
+A `published_output` declaration may identify its commit's run or an earlier
+immutable run in the same campaign/session namespace. The key parser validates
+that namespace, rejects mutable and malformed keys, and derives the originating
+run from the exact declaration. All other commit artifacts remain confined to
+the commit's own run prefix.
+
+Campaign, session, and Narratio run IDs are validated as portable opaque
+segments at configuration and artifact boundaries before they can be used in a
+workspace or S3 namespace. Previous-artifact destinations remain typed,
+multi-segment relative paths and are confined beneath `previous/artifacts`; they
+are not treated as opaque identifiers.
+
+See [Workspace Internals](workspace.md) for how callers consume local helpers
+and [Operations](../operations.md#local-state-layout) for the authoritative
+physical layout.
+
+## Invariants
+
+- source ID formats are stable contracts;
+- artifact resolution is deterministic and manifest-aware;
+- extraction sources are available only from a compatible successful manifest
+  record;
+- previous-session source resolution in `analyze` is local-only;
+- remote current-state key construction remains centralized in artifacts helpers.

+# Internal: Command Restore
+
+## Purpose
+
+Explain the implemented restore discovery, planning, installation, and
+reporting flow in `internal/app`. User invocation belongs in
+[CLI](../cli.md#session-restore), and the operator recovery procedure and
+physical restore scope belong in
+[Operations](../operations.md#restore-workflow).
+
+Restore separates remote authority, local conflict policy, and filesystem
+mutation so each remains testable independently.
+
+The public command supplies production defaults to one private,
+invocation-scoped dependency value. Discovery, planning, and execution use that
+same value, so focused sequencing tests can replace one boundary without
+mutable package hooks.
+
+## Discovery Contract
+
+Discovery delegates current-state pointer and manifest loading to
+`internal/artifacts`, then validates the result against the resolved request:
+
+- campaign must match;
+- session ID must match.
+- run ID must match the pointer-selected committed run.
+
+Restore treats any missing or invalid remote current state as a command error.
+
+## Planning Contract
+
+Restore planner action kinds:
+
+- `download`;
+- `skip_same`;
+- `conflict`.
+
+Planner behavior:
+
+- a new-protocol restore uses only the selected commit's declared artifact set;
+  each action carries that artifact's immutable key, checksum, size, and
+  generation;
+- remote-to-local mapping is traversal-safe;
+- actions are sorted by local relative path and then remote key;
+- planning opens the selected session root and inspects every target by its
+  normalized session-relative path. Missing ancestors produce a missing target;
+  an ancestor or leaf symlink is a non-regular conflict and is never opened for
+  hashing;
+- force converts differing eligible regular files from conflicts to downloads;
+  directories, symlinks, and other non-regular targets remain conflicts.
+
+For a non-dry-run restore, planning/classification happens only after acquiring
+the session lock. Runner manifest/reuse checks acquire that same lock first.
+
+Previous-cache readiness is resolved through `previouscache.Resolve` for restore,
+prepare, status, and validation. Each requirement selects the unique
+`published_output` for its canonical source in the pointer-selected commit,
+then strips only that run's immutable `published/` prefix for its safe local
+cache path. It never probes candidate objects or derives paths from manifests,
+configuration, or basenames.
+
+## Execution Contract
+
+Execution order and safety:
+
+- non-manifest downloads happen before manifest install;
+- `manifest.json` installs last;
+- downloads use sibling temp files, validate the complete object, then use an
+  atomic rename;
+- manifest replacement is validated before rename;
+- each committed object is verified against its declared checksum, size, and
+  generation before installation;
+- installation reopens the selected session root, creates only validated
+  missing directory components with workspace modes, and rejects symlinked or
+  non-regular ancestors and leaves before replacement;
+- a committed manifest already verified during discovery is retained for the
+  matching restore action and revalidated before installation, avoiding a
+  second body transfer;
+- failed installs do not roll back files already written in the same execution.
+- a durable `.restore-incomplete.json` marker is written before installation.
+  It blocks runners until a restore retry completes all verified installs and
+  the local manifest replacement, at which point it is removed.
+- restored manifest local references are rebased beneath the selected local
+  session root. Unsafe relative references and producer-machine absolute paths
+  outside the manifest's producer session root are rejected; producer-local
+  spool paths and run-local diagnostic references are not restored as
+  authority. Cleanup remains ordinary restored stage state and is not reset or
+  synthesized by restore.
+
+Audio restore path:
+
+- uses `audio.MaterializeS3Audio`;
+- integrates spool and S3 audio cache paths;
+- reuses cached audio only when its opened regular file, content digest, and
+  identity sidecar all match the selected remote object version; otherwise it
+  refreshes through the validated download path.
+
+## Reporting Contract
+
+- dry-run mode prints a summary, performs no durable session writes, and may
+  read remote current-state or object-identity data to produce that summary;
+- execution mode persists the canonical restore report described in
+  [Operations](../operations.md#restore-workflow);
+- report includes plan counts, per-action status, and execution failures.
+
+## Invariants
+
+- restore uses committed remote current state as authority;
+- one restore or status inspection observes the single pointer-selected commit
+  loaded at discovery; later pointer changes cannot add objects or substitute a
+  different run into its plan;
+- a verified `current/commit-pointer.json` and its selected immutable commit
+  establish remote commitment; when absent, republish the session;
+- restore does not execute pipeline stages.
+
+## Implementation And Tests
+
+- Discovery: `internal/app/restore_discovery.go`
+- Planning: `internal/app/restore_plan.go`, `internal/previouscache`
+- Execution: `internal/app/restore_execute.go`
+- Reporting and command coordination: `internal/app/restore_report.go`,
+  `internal/app/restore.go`

+  `internal/app/restore_execution_test.go`,

+# Configuration Internals
+
+User-visible fields, defaults, and selection behavior belong in the
+[Configuration Reference](../config.md). This document describes the internal
+pipeline-loading boundary implemented by `internal/config`.
+
+## Pipeline Loading
+
+`LoadPipeline` assembles and validates a pipeline in this order:
+
+1. Give ConfigKit a fresh typed `PipelineConfig` default value, the root file,
+   enabled imports, and the caller's overlay selection. Omitted, empty, and
+   exact `default` selections use the base; named overlays use the fixed
+   `overlays/<name>.yml` convention.
+2. ConfigKit parses the root and declared imports, additively merges base
+   sources, applies only the selected overlay, and strictly decodes the result.
+3. The definition resolver applies recorded entry-level and inherited defaults,
+   runs deterministic domain normalization, records derived publish destinations,
+   and resolves ordinary paths relative to the root pipeline file.
+4. The definition validator performs read-only checks that require only the
+   pipeline file. Checks requiring canonical-party family expansion remain at
+   the existing explicit pipeline/campaign resolution boundary.
+5. Narratio inspects public ConfigKit metadata to reject artifact and family keys
+   declared by multiple base files, adapts source ownership records, attaches
+   runtime-only state, and computes the normalized effective digest.
+
+This ordering preserves monolithic configuration behavior. Moving a field to
+an imported fragment changes its source ownership, not its path base, default,
+or schema semantics.
+
+## Loaded Context Resolution
+
+`LoadedPipelineCampaign` carries one already composed pipeline and its selected
+campaign into session resolution. `LoadSessionWithPipelineCampaignOptions`
+loads a local session against that context, while
+`ResolveLoadedPipelineCampaign` also accepts an already loaded remote session
+or no session while a caller retrieves one. Compatibility loaders route through
+these functions after their initial pipeline and campaign reads.
+
+Application commands own pipeline and campaign discovery, campaign-file versus
+registry selection, and the corresponding mutual-exclusion rules. Once they
+have a `LoadedPipelineCampaign`, local session discovery and remote-session
+download retain that exact pipeline object and its private provenance. Removing
+a temporary downloaded session file therefore cannot invalidate the resolved
+pipeline or campaign context.
+
+Campaign and session files use independent ConfigKit definitions with imports
+and overlays disabled. Campaign files normally load directly from their source;
+session files are first read through the 8 MiB bounded-read boundary because the
+application must reject unresolved template placeholders before passing an exact
+byte snapshot to ConfigKit. Local and remotely downloaded session bytes then use
+the same typed loader and retain the existing post-load identity expectations,
+stable-input precedence, and source-relative path semantics.
+
+The application also has a separate read-only inspection resolver for `config
+validate`, `config show`, `config sources`, and `config artifacts`. It uses the
+same production root, overlay, and campaign selection functions, but never routes
+through session discovery,
+remote-session download, adapter composition, workspace
+initialization, manifest access, or cleanup. A pipeline with retained artifact
+family declarations must resolve its selected campaign before ordinary pipeline
+validation, which expands its canonical-party members and generated publish
+rules. A pipeline without those declarations may be validated by itself.
+Secret-directory bootstrap remains invocation-scoped and happens before the
+ordinary ConfigKit load because explicit typed references must resolve even for
+inspection.
+
+`MarshalEffectivePipeline` is the configuration-owned projection for `config
+show`. It serializes one explicit typed safe projection with the existing YAML
+encoder. The projection has no slots for resolution-only artifact family
+declarations or private provenance. The result has one trailing newline;
+commands do not marshal runtime objects directly.
+
+`EffectivePipelineSources` and `EffectiveCampaignSources` provide the separate
+safe provenance projection for `config sources`. Pipeline ownership begins with
+the complete logical field paths projected from the schema and classifies
+each contributor as root, import, overlay, or centralized default. The
+projection replaces generated concrete member paths with paired family and
+canonical-party records, and does the same for generated publish rules.
+Campaign records identify campaign-owned fields and party inputs; canonical
+derived players point to the party source. The application command only joins these sorted
+records with selection metadata and never reparses configuration files.
+
+`EffectiveArtifactCatalog` projects the same finalized concrete artifact map for
+`config artifacts`. It derives source identity from each map key, carries sorted
+effective dependencies, aggregates ConfigKit definition contributors, and adds
+family/character/party provenance for generated members. It does not inspect
+files named after artifacts or infer another runtime graph.
+
+`config diff` uses a thin paired loader that performs two independent ConfigKit
+loads. When campaign
+resolution is needed, the command loads one selected campaign and party and
+expands both effective pipelines from that same party value. The configuration
+owner projects each normalized effective mapping directly from that same typed
+projection into sorted logical paths using JSON number preservation;
+mapping leaves are compared individually while sequence values remain atomic.
+Values are compact deterministic JSON representations for command output, not
+raw YAML fragments, ownership records, or secret material. A differing digest
+with no projected difference is treated as an internal consistency error.
+
+Campaign context construction reads the campaign-owned party source through
+`ParseParty`. The required canonical party retains its raw bytes and normalized
+roster in runtime-only `ResolvedParty` provenance. Canonical resolution creates
+a deterministic `derived_from_party` players projection. The party is the only
+configured roster authority; player and session-party fields are unsupported.
+
+## Canonical Party Domain
+
+`ParseParty` is the package-owned boundary for parsing a party source. Its
+single-source ConfigKit definition disables imports and overlays, requires
+`schema_version` through `VersionRule`, and strictly decodes the
+character-keyed typed schema before applying Narratio's party-domain checks.
+Successful metadata coordinates recover authored character-map order without a
+second YAML parse; class and alias slice order comes directly from typed decode.
+The canonical value retains a separate exact byte copy of its source so
+consumers can materialize the authored party document without reserializing it.
+Its `PlayersYAML` method deterministically derives the ID-sorted, versioned
+players-only projection.
+
+An unversioned source is rejected before resolution, family expansion, or
+prepare-stage materialization.
+
+## Validation Ownership
+
+Configuration validation remains within `internal/config`, with the public
+entry points and pipeline-domain sequencing separated from the private owners
+for core pipeline/session rules, external adapters, publish/storage, Notarius,
+Scriptorium, and shared scalar/path checks. These are package-local ownership
+boundaries rather than extension points or a general validation framework.
+
+Validation is read-only, fails fast, and does not define which of several
+independent invalid fields is reported first. Map-backed declarations are
+nevertheless traversed deterministically. Reusable domain normalization is an
+explicit preceding operation for both loaded and programmatically constructed
+pipelines. Notarius normalization commits canonical scalar, reference, and output
+values only after the complete normalization succeeds; its validator then checks
+that candidate without changing it. Scriptorium validates artifact declarations
+and outputs, dependencies and inputs, variables, referenced outputs, and the final
+dependency graph in deterministic artifact order.
+
+Diagnostics identify the relevant semantic field. Merge conflicts also
+retain every claiming source needed to correct an additive ownership conflict.
+Complete prose, punctuation, formatting, and private validation choreography are
+not compatibility contracts.
+
+## Diagnostics And Runtime Metadata
+
+Syntax, duplicate-key, merge, overlay, and schema failures include the
+relevant source name and full field path. Additive conflicts report every
+claiming source so operators can repair the split without repeatedly
+rediscovering additional conflicts.
+
+The loaded pipeline retains private runtime metadata for the absolute root
+path, ordered imports, selected overlay name, source, and path, original
+ConfigKit metadata and source snapshots, effective digest,
+and leaf ownership. Base
+leaves retain their root/import owners, replaced leaves belong to the selected
+overlay, and centrally supplied values use the synthetic `default` owner. This
+metadata does not participate in YAML decoding or alter the public
+configuration model.
+
+The effective digest is SHA-256 over a versioned deterministic JSON encoding of
+the same typed safe projection used by show and diff. Runtime Notarius paths remain absolute for
+execution, but the digest substitutes their normalized logical values captured
+before root-relative resolution, so relocating an equivalent configuration
+bundle does not change provenance. Because ConfigKit and resolution metadata
+are private, the digest excludes source layout, overlay name, and ownership.
+Configuration stores credentials as ConfigKit typed references. A successful
+load resolves their values inside the opaque typed boundary, while this safe
+projection serializes only `EnvName()` identities. Credential-value changes are
+therefore never hashed; reference-name changes remain ordinary provenance.
+The optional Notarius credential follows the same path even for disabled or
+resumable extraction; normalization copies the opaque reference without reading
+or resolving it again. Direct YAML serialization has a configuration-owned safe
+projection so only the reference name can leave this boundary.
+`recomputePipelineEffectiveDigest` is the single package-owned refresh point
+for later runtime expansion.
+
+## Test Surfaces
+
+`pipeline_configkit_test.go` exercises real imports and fixed-path overlays,
+base selection, unselected-overlay isolation, source attribution, and Narratio's
+unique artifact/family base-declaration rule. Existing focused configuration
+tests protect defaults, explicit-value semantics, strict decoding, validation,
+metadata, and root-relative path behavior. Application configuration-loader tests protect the
+single-read boundary by changing the pipeline file after its initial load and
+confirming local session resolution retains the original pipeline. Other
+configuration tests continue to protect defaults and validation after assembly.
+`party_test.go` protects the versioned typed party schema, domain invariants,
+authored character order, retained bytes, and deterministic players projection
+without involving campaign or runtime wiring.
+`party_resolution_test.go` protects campaign-owned party loading, canonical
+input restrictions, source provenance, and virtual players input selection.
+
+## Artifact Family Resolution
+
+Pipeline loading retains `scriptorium.artifact_families` as a resolution-only
+declaration. Once campaign party resolution establishes a canonical roster,
+configuration expands families in sorted family-key and character-ID order
+into ordinary `ScriptoriumArtifactConfig` values. The expansion owns the narrow
+`{character_id}` output substitution, closed member-variable selectors, key and
+output collision checks, and the runtime-only family-origin catalog. It then
+removes family declarations from `ScriptoriumConfig`, runs ordinary Scriptorium
+validation, and refreshes the effective pipeline digest. Stages and adapters
+therefore receive only concrete artifact maps.
+
+The catalog retains sorted family member keys plus family/character/source
+origins and the typed dependency/publish declarations for their later owners.
+`member_dependencies` add corresponding ordinary concrete dependencies, while
+the family-only `narratio.member_artifact.<family>` input form is rewritten to
+the matching ordinary configured-artifact source. The catalog records those
+resolved dependency and input identities with their declaring family and party
+member. No member-artifact source is registered as a runtime policy source.
+An enabled family publish declaration expands to ordinary configured-artifact
+publish rules before the existing publish and lock validators run. Runtime
+publication consequently receives no family wildcard or special matcher.

+# Internal: File Operations
+
+`internal/fileops` owns the narrow mechanics for atomically visible replacement of one
+byte file. Callers keep ownership of serialization, validation, cancellation,
+and destination-directory policy.
+
+## Destination Paths
+
+Ordinary workspace replacement uses standard operating-system path semantics.
+Callers with a root-scoped safety contract own that validation at their boundary.
+
+Remote object acquisition is owned by its domain caller. The caller writes a
+sibling temporary file, validates the complete result, and passes that file to
+`InstallSiblingTempFile` only when it is ready to become canonical. Callers own
+remote object selection, validation, conflict handling, and temporary-file
+cleanup.
+
+Directory bundles are not promoted by `internal/fileops`; extraction owns its
+validated Notarius bundle rename.
+
+## Cleanup Contract
+
+`RemoveAllUnderRoot` accepts an explicit root and a proper descendant, opens
+that root with `os.OpenRoot`, and removes the normalized root-relative target
+with `Root.RemoveAll`. It rejects root, traversal, and out-of-root targets; a
+missing target is successful. `RemoveFileUnderRoot` additionally requires an
+existing leaf to be regular. Command and post-publish policy remains owned by
+`internal/app`.
+
+## Bounded Reads
+
+`ReadFileBounded` opens a normal path and reads at most its caller-supplied
+limit. Credential mode policy and environment precedence remain owned by
+`internal/app`.
+
+## Replacement Contract
+
+`ReplaceFileAtomic` requires an existing destination directory. It creates a
+sibling temporary file, writes the complete byte sequence, applies the
+caller-supplied mode, closes the file, runs an optional pre-rename check, and
+replaces the destination with a rename.
+
+The pre-rename check is the last point at which a caller can cancel without
+installing a new destination. A failure before the rename leaves the old
+destination unchanged and removes the temporary file. Successful replacement
+provides atomic visibility; it makes no crash- or power-loss durability claim.
+
+Replacement follows the operating system's same-filesystem rename semantics.
+If a platform cannot replace an existing destination, the operation returns an
+error and never removes the old file as an emulation step.
+
+`WriteFileAtomic` and the copy helpers create the destination parent with the
+repository's workspace permissions. `InstallSiblingTempFile` requires the
+caller to provide an existing temporary file in the existing destination
+directory.

+# Internal: Manifest
+
+## Purpose
+
+Explain the session-progress model implemented by `internal/manifest`. Physical
+manifest placement belongs in
+[Operations](../operations.md#local-state-layout).
+
+## Session Manifest
+
+`manifest.Manifest` records:
+
+- required `schema_version: narratio.session-manifest.v1`
+- identity (`session_id`, `campaign`, `run_id`)
+- local path metadata (`local_workdir`, `local_spool_dir`)
+- remote identity metadata (`s3_bucket`, `s3_session_prefix`, `s3_run_prefix`)
+- `inputs` records
+- durable `artifacts` records
+- per-stage `stages` map, including the ordinary cleanup stage record
+
+Session, campaign, and run identities in local and downloaded manifests must be
+portable opaque segments. Unsafe legacy identities are rejected with migration
+guidance rather than being normalized into a different workspace or remote
+namespace.
+
+Decoding rejects unknown typed fields, including informational fields inside
+`effective_config` and its nested selection. The schema version remains
+`narratio.session-manifest.v1`; there is no compatibility reader that silently
+drops retired fields. See [overlay migration](../operations.md#migrating-manifest-overlay-provenance)
+for deliberate migration of retired selection provenance. Cleanup progress uses
+only the cleanup entry in `stages`.
+
+Every persisted session manifest has a non-nil `stages` map. Each entry is
+non-nil and its embedded `name` exactly matches its map key; loading never
+invents either marker. A missing or unsupported schema version, or incomplete
+stage identity, is unsupported local state: move it aside and regenerate it,
+or restore a verified current committed snapshot when that is authoritative.
+
+Prepare records independent `party` and `players` input checksums. In canonical
+party mode, the party record retains its campaign source identity while the
+players record uses `derived_from_party`; raw roster content is never embedded
+in manifest metadata. Both records remain the durable authority for consumers
+of their prepared input source IDs.
+
+The model admits these stage states:
+
+- `pending`
+- `running`
+- `succeeded`
+- `failed`
+- `skipped`
+- `stale`
+- `interrupted`
+
+### Transcribe-owned speaker state
+
+A `transcribe` stage record may carry `transcribe_state_version: 1` and a
+`transcribe_speakers` map keyed by the existing derived speaker ID. The version
+is the authority marker: a versioned empty map means that no earlier speaker
+completion is reusable. Absence of both fields is accepted as legacy
+aggregate-only state so current Narratio can read older manifests.
+
+Each map entry represents one completed speaker only. It binds a versioned
+fingerprint to the session-relative audio path, audio SHA-256 and size, one
+canonical `transcript_raw` output with its path, SHA-256 and size, and the
+producer run ID. Paths must be canonical and session-relative, checksums must
+be lowercase SHA-256 values, and the record and output producer identities
+must agree. Other stages cannot carry this transcribe-owned state.
+Audio size is nonnegative; WhisperX determines whether that audio can be
+transcribed. Output size remains positive and the transcript must be valid JSON.
+
+Transcribe reconciles this collection against the current prepared audio set
+and observable WhisperX semantics. Missing or corrupt regular outputs become
+work; unsafe or non-regular evidence is rejected. It saves the reconciled
+collection before HTTP dispatch and saves a detached candidate after each
+validated completion. Only after a save succeeds is the candidate installed as
+live authority. Canonical bytes produced before an unsuccessful save are not a
+completion record.
+
+Aggregate transcribe status still describes the whole invocation. A failed,
+running, stale, or interrupted aggregate may therefore retain reusable speaker
+records, while aggregate outputs are declared only after the current
+collection is complete. Ordinary retry reconciles and reuses those records.
+Force first checkpoints an empty current collection, preventing later retries
+from reviving pre-force results.
+
+Older aggregate-only transcribe success is conservatively regenerated once
+when transcribe is selected because it does not bind individual outputs to the
+audio bytes used. The session-manifest schema identifier remains
+`narratio.session-manifest.v1`; this additive state is accepted by current
+Narratio, but older strict-decoding binaries may reject manifests after these
+fields have been written.
+
+### Analyze-owned artifact state
+
+Every `analyze` stage record carries `analyze_state_version: 1` and an
+`analyze_artifacts` map keyed by normalized configured artifact key. The
+version is the authority marker: version 1 with no entries is a valid evaluated
+empty set. An absent or unsupported version is unsupported local state and is
+rejected rather than being treated as aggregate-only authority.
+
+Each analyze artifact record has one disposition:
+
+- `current`: the configured artifact is available and carries a versioned
+  fingerprint plus a complete output record and separate output size;
+- `stale`: the recorded semantic identity is no longer current;
+- `missing`: no validated current result exists;
+- `failed`: the attempted work failed and carries a bounded diagnostic; or
+- `unselected`: the artifact was intentionally outside the evaluated set.
+
+Records bind their normalized key and dependencies, fingerprint contract when
+evaluated, canonical session-relative output identity when current, producing
+Narratio run, update time, and bounded non-secret Scriptorium provenance and
+diagnostic paths. A current output includes its configured source ID, contract,
+checksum, and positive byte size. Non-current records cannot carry an output,
+so an older file is not advertised through stale, missing, failed, or
+unselected state.
+
+Family-produced records additionally retain optional `family` and
+`character_id` provenance supplied by configuration resolution. These fields
+do not replace the concrete configured key or infer family membership from a
+name, so older records without them remain valid.
+
+The session-stage collection is the reconciled authority across invocations.
+These records remain analyze-owned data inside the fixed stage; they are not
+dynamic stages or generic subtasks.
+
+Analyze checkpoints one complete validated candidate collection after each
+successful artifact and before exposing that artifact to later work. It saves a
+detached manifest candidate and installs its version, collection, and updated
+timestamp into live state only after the store reports success. Aggregate stage
+outputs are ordinary result outputs rebuilt in configured-key order from current
+session records only.
+
+Successful incremental execution replaces only evaluated artifact records and
+preserves valid unrelated current records. Rebuilt outputs are compared by
+bytes and contract: an unchanged identity permits an unselected dependent with
+the same recomputed fingerprint to remain current, while a changed identity
+removes output authority from every unselected transitive dependent by marking
+it stale. A partial analyze invocation can therefore succeed while unrelated
+configured records remain stale. Existing canonical files never create current
+records without validated execution and a successful checkpoint.
+
+Aggregate analyze status is deliberately coarser than this collection. Resume
+validation may skip a succeeded aggregate record when the selected artifact
+closure is current even if unrelated records are stale. Conversely, a stale
+aggregate record may cross the ordinary runner boundary and perform zero
+Scriptorium calls when reconciliation proves every selected artifact current;
+ordinary successful stage completion then restores the aggregate status.
+
+On an artifact error, analyze installs a complete retry collection on the live
+manifest before returning. The active record is failed without output, current
+transitive dependents are stale, unrelated current records survive, and only
+earlier checkpointed completions remain current. The runner's ordinary failure
+path marks aggregate analyze failed, clears aggregate outputs, invalidates
+delivery dependents, and saves that collection. A terminal session-save failure
+is joined with the original adapter, validation, filesystem, cancellation, or
+checkpoint cause.
+
+If an artifact checkpoint fails, analyze rolls its working collection back to
+the last committed collection before constructing the active failed record.
+Newly materialized canonical bytes therefore remain incidental and cannot
+become current authority. A later ordinary run reconciles the durable records,
+reuses earlier current artifacts, and resumes with the failed or stale work.
+The same recovery applies after process interruption: the aggregate record may
+be non-successful, but every completed artifact checkpoint remains reusable.
+
+## Remote Commit Manifest
+
+`artifacts.RemoteCommitManifest` is a separate, versioned remote snapshot
+contract. It is not a serialized session manifest and contains no local
+post-publication assertion such as `current_pointer_written`. A remote commit
+identifies one campaign, session, and run and declares its immutable artifact
+set. Each artifact has a typed source, immutable destination key, SHA-256
+checksum, size, and storage generation.
+
+`current/commit-pointer.json` is the sole mutable selector for the new
+contract. It identifies exactly one run-scoped `runs/{run_id}/commit.json` and
+binds that object by checksum, size, and generation. Readers strictly reject
+unknown fields, version mismatches, pointer/commit identity mismatches, and
+objects that do not match their declaration.
+
+An absent commit pointer means no remote state is published. Republish to
+establish a current immutable snapshot.
+
+## Persistence Semantics
+
+`manifest.LocalStore`:
+
+- accepts only the exact supported session-manifest schema version;
+- rejects unknown fields and multiple JSON values;
+- validates stage-map identity without synthesizing missing maps, records, or
+  names;
+- retains only representation-preserving collection normalization;
+- writes through a sibling temporary file and atomic replacement visibility;
+- updates `updated_at` on save.
+
+### Checkpoint persistence boundary
+
+Analyze and transcribe share one private checkpoint operation in
+`internal/stage`. Their typed callers still decide when to checkpoint, validate
+their collections, populate stage-owned fields, and serialize access. The
+shared operation copies the manifest and its checkpoint-relevant mutable
+collections, applies the typed update to the copied target record, and calls
+the existing `manifest.Store` exactly once. Only after that save succeeds does
+it promote the saved target record and manifest `updated_at` into live state;
+it preserves an existing target record's identity and leaves unrelated live
+stage records in place.
+
+The copy boundary includes stage records, input and artifact slices, aggregate
+output/log/configuration slices, and the typed analyze and transcribe
+collections that callbacks or `LocalStore.Save` may modify. Metadata and other
+pointer fields remain shared read-only because neither checkpoint callback nor
+the store mutates them. This is a bounded execution helper, not a general
+manifest clone or a transaction across transcript/artifact files.
+
+Manifest replacement provides atomic visibility, not a crash- or power-loss
+durability guarantee. Callers reload after a returned save error before retrying.
+A transcribe or analyze checkpoint error leaves the prior manifest collection
+as authority. The runner then attempts to persist the aggregate failure; if
+that terminal save also fails, its error is joined with the originating failure
+and the next invocation must reconcile from the last readable manifest.
+
+## Execution Semantics
+
+Planning and execution share one pure pre-execution decision over the recorded
+stage status, force selection, and normalized resume-validation result. That
+decision identifies run versus reuse and any required stale and dependent
+invalidation transition. Planning applies it only to a cloned manifest.
+Execution remains the sole owner of observed stage results and persistence.
+
+For each selected stage, the application runner computes semantic evidence,
+performs any eligible resume validation, applies the pre-execution decision,
+and persists required invalidation before either reusing the existing success
+or beginning an attempt. The same one-stage execution owner marks the attempt
+running before invoking the stage and then records and persists its failed,
+skipped, or successful terminal state before a later stage may start. On
+success it records outputs, logs, generated configuration references, metadata,
+and—when the stage implements the optional contract—a versioned
+semantic-configuration fingerprint. Artifact
+records may include optional contract and external provenance objects; old
+manifests remain compatible when those fields are absent. A successful forced
+rerun marks only succeeded transitive dependent session-stage records stale.
+The application owns a fixed dependency relation distinct from execution order;
+dependents are returned in canonical order. Render and extract therefore never
+stale one another, while either can stale analyze, publish, notify, and cleanup.
+
+Starting an execution clears the current session-stage record's prior outputs,
+logs, generated configuration references, metadata, and semantic fingerprint.
+Failed and skipped
+transitions enforce the same clearing rule directly, while success repopulates
+only fields returned by the new result. Marking a record stale does not clear
+those details because resume validation and diagnosis may still require them
+before execution begins.
+
+Aggregate lifecycle clearing deliberately preserves both the transcribe-owned
+speaker collection and the analyze-owned per-artifact collection. This lets
+later reconciliation replace only non-current entries without erasing durable
+completions. Other stages retain aggregate-only lifecycle behavior and are
+forbidden from carrying either collection.
+
+A stage may explicitly return a skipped disposition and stable reason. The
+runner persists that outcome in the session manifest, clears older outputs,
+logs, generated configuration references, and metadata, then applies any
+bounded details from the current skip and continues. This self-skip is distinct from deciding not to execute an
+already-succeeded stage and is reconsidered on later runs. Skipped results
+cannot contain outputs. An intentional self-skip records the current semantic
+fingerprint because it is a completed, reusable stage result; failed or
+interrupted work never promotes one.
+
+When an already-succeeded stage is skipped, the session manifest deliberately
+retains its existing succeeded record because it remains the cross-invocation
+progress authority. If a stage supplies semantic configuration evidence, reuse first
+requires the persisted positive schema version and lowercase SHA-256 digest to
+match the current resolved stage semantics. Missing semantic evidence, malformed
+evidence, or a mismatch makes the stage and its fixed transitive dependents
+stale. The existing stage-specific resume
+validator runs only after this semantic check succeeds; both checks are
+required. Extraction, analyze, and cleanup have resume validators and may
+reject an otherwise eligible skip when their selected durable evidence is
+obsolete; the runner marks the aggregate record stale and executes it.
+Analyze's validator can still accept a partial selection when only unrelated
+artifact records are stale.
+
+Implemented reuse coverage is deliberately split between aggregate semantic
+evidence and focused durable validators:
+
+| Work | Reuse authority | Focused owners |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| prepare | aggregate semantic fingerprint | [prepare](stage-prepare.md) |
+| transcribe speakers | aggregate semantic fingerprint plus per-speaker input/output reconciliation | [transcribe](stage-transcribe.md), [WhisperX](../integrations/whisperx.md) |
+| merge | aggregate semantic fingerprint | [merge](stage-merge.md), [Seriatim](../integrations/seriatim.md) |
+| polish | aggregate semantic fingerprint | [polish](stage-polish.md), [Audita](../integrations/audita.md) |
+| normalize | aggregate semantic fingerprint | [normalize](stage-normalize.md), [Seriatim](../integrations/seriatim.md) |
+| trim | aggregate semantic fingerprint | [trim](stage-trim.md), [Scriptorium](../integrations/scriptorium.md), [Seriatim](../integrations/seriatim.md) |
+| render | aggregate semantic fingerprint | [render](stage-render.md), [Seriatim](../integrations/seriatim.md) |
+| extract | aggregate semantic fingerprint plus reference/output validator | [extract](stage-extract.md), [Notarius](../integrations/notarius.md) |
+| analyze artifacts | per-artifact fingerprint, reconciliation, and output validator | [analyze](stage-analyze.md), [Scriptorium](../integrations/scriptorium.md) |
+| publish | aggregate semantic fingerprint plus immediate lock/commit checks | [publish](stage-publish.md), [storage adapter](adapters.md) |
+| notify | aggregate delivery-mode fingerprint | [pipeline overview](overview.md), [configuration](../config.md#notifications) |
+| cleanup | aggregate semantic fingerprint plus publish-evidence and target-absence validator | [cleanup](stage-cleanup.md), [workspace](workspace.md) |
+
+These contracts record resolved choices Narratio can observe, not operational
+runner tuning. External model, module, prompt, profile, and configuration-file
+contents that a tool privately loads remain outside the contract when their
+configured identifier is unchanged; operators must force the affected work
+after such a private content change.
+
+The session manifest is the authoritative stage-progress ledger across
+invocations. It retains the most recently resolved invocation's bounded
+configuration provenance. It identifies the selected overlay name and source
+(`explicit` when selected) plus the effective configuration digest, but never a raw
+secret or overlay content. This provenance is informational: it does not
+participate in stage resume or cache decisions. An overlay change therefore
+invalidates only stages whose semantic configuration changed. When a private
+external-tool model, module, prompt, or profile changes behind an unchanged
+configured identifier, use `--force` for the affected work.
+
+`session plan` computes the same current fingerprint and applies the shared
+decision and invalidation rules to a cloned manifest. It predicts the runner
+decision without persisting session state. The semantic fingerprint owner
+hashes deterministic JSON from stage-owned typed structs; stage providers must
+exclude secrets, complete effective-configuration dumps, and operational
+values that cannot affect canonical results. Concrete coverage is owned by the
+focused stage and integration documents linked above.
+
+Before an explicitly bounded execution starts after `prepare`, the application
+reads the session manifest and accepts only `succeeded` or `skipped` for every
+excluded canonical prefix stage. The first other status or absent record fails
+the request before layout mutation, adapter initialization, session-manifest
+writes, or run-directory creation. Excluded prefix records are not passed to
+resume validators. Records after the selected end are not prerequisites and
+may be made stale by selected work without being scheduled.
+
+After a publish commits remotely, any configured local cleanup is first recorded
+as a session-manifest obligation before deletion begins. Each target becomes
+complete only after its confined deletion (or safe absence check) and a
+successful manifest save. An incomplete obligation is retried when publish
+executes again and retains the committed run and remote identity that authorized
+it; an invocation that does not execute publish does not perform cleanup.
+
+Each invocation derives campaign, session, run, local-path, and remote-prefix
+metadata from the validated resolved configuration as one projection. A persisted
+session manifest must agree on campaign and session identity before execution;
+the current projection is refreshed for every invocation while stage progress,
+inputs, and durable artifacts remain session history.
+
+For handled failures after the session identity transition, the runner records
+the failure on the session ledger and atomically attempts its save while
+preserving the originating error. Abrupt process death remains an accepted case
+where the last session transition can require operator interpretation.
+
+## Invariants
+
+- stage resume/skip decisions are session-manifest driven.
+- semantic fingerprint comparison precedes stage-specific resume validation.
+- only successful and intentional-skipped results promote current semantic
+  evidence.
+- running, failed, and self-skipped stages do not retain result payloads from
+  an earlier success.
+- stale stages retain prior details until replacement execution starts.
+- force reruns stale succeeded stages in the fixed dependency relation.
+- the session manifest is the only durable local progress ledger.
+- remote commitment is established by a verified current pointer and remote
+  commit relationship, never by a mutable session-manifest boolean.

+# Internal Overview
+
+This document is the implemented component map for Narratio. Normative system
+boundaries and dependency direction belong in
+[Architecture](../policy/architecture.md). User and operator contracts belong
+in the [CLI](../cli.md), [Configuration](../config.md),
+[Operations](../operations.md), and [Troubleshooting](../troubleshooting.md).
+Externally observable tool and format contracts belong under
+[Integrations](../integrations/).
+
+## Execution Path
+
+```text
+cmd/narratio -> internal/app -> configuration and production composition
+             -> internal/stage -> adapters and external systems
+             -> manifests and artifact resolution -> durable local/remote output
+```
+
+The executable delegates process behavior to the application boundary. The
+application resolves configuration, composes concrete collaborators, acquires
+session safety controls, and runs commands. Pipeline commands execute the
+canonical stage sequence through adapter interfaces, while manifests record
+progress and artifact services resolve durable inputs and outputs.
+
+The pipeline runner follows one explicit invocation lifecycle: inspect bounded
+prerequisites without mutation, prepare the workspace layout, acquire one
+session lock, load or create the authoritative session manifest, compose only
+the collaborators needed by the selected range, execute each selected stage in
+order, and then return the summary. Cleanup, when selected, is the ordinary
+final stage rather than runner finalization work.
+The lock remains held from manifest initialization through finalization, and a
+failed stage or required manifest save prevents later stages from starting.
+
+## Components
+
+| Area | Implemented owners | Responsibility |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Executable | `cmd/narratio` | Process entry, standard stream wiring, argument handoff, and exit status. |
+| Application orchestration | `internal/app` | Command dispatch, configuration selection, secret-file environment loading, production composition, session locking, planning, execution, restore, and user-facing reporting. |
+| Configuration | [`internal/config`](configuration.md) | ConfigKit-backed pipeline imports and overlays, canonical party and family expansion, strict YAML loading, defaults, normalization, session templating, and validation. |
+| Pipeline stages | `internal/stage` | Canonical stage registry, shared stage contract, execution dependencies, and implemented stage behavior. |
+| External boundaries | `internal/adapters`, `internal/audio` | WhisperX HTTP, downstream subprocesses, notification, object storage, and S3 audio materialization behind Narratio contracts. |
+| Manifests | `internal/manifest` | Durable session progress, stage transitions, validation, and atomic persistence. |
+| Artifacts and paths | `internal/artifacts`, `internal/pathsafe` | Artifact identities and resolution, local and remote path/key models, current-state discovery, and confined relative destinations. |
+| Previous-session cache | `internal/previouscache` | Deterministic planning and materialization requirements for configured previous-session inputs. |
+| Artifact policy | `internal/artifactpolicy` | Source and destination policy, configured artifact identity validation, and publish destination safety. |
+| Shared models and file operations | `internal/artifactmodel`, `internal/contracts`, [`internal/fileops`](fileops.md) | Transcript and artifact data contracts plus atomic single-file replacement, bounded reads, workspace modes, and root-scoped cleanup helpers. |
+| Logging | `internal/logging` | Application logger construction and shared structured logging behavior. |
+
+The application boundary composes concrete implementations. Stages depend on
+Narratio-level contracts; external transport and SDK details remain in
+adapters. The normative rules for these relationships remain in
+[Architecture](../policy/architecture.md).
+
+Command execution normalizes one private dependency value per invocation.
+Pipeline configuration-path discovery, configuration reads, secret-directory
+reads, remote downloads, object-store construction, and restore phase functions
+use that value throughout the command. Public command entry points supply the
+canonical discovery and production defaults, while focused tests may provide
+invocation-owned discovery candidates or replace only the external or sequencing
+boundary they exercise without mutating package state.
+
+Pipeline execution and `session plan` share the same inclusive contiguous-range
+model and the same pure pre-execution decision over recorded status, force, and
+normalized resume validation. Planning applies that decision and modeled
+selected-stage transitions to cloned session state; it does not persist, create
+invocation state, initialize stage-execution adapters, or claim to observe an
+execution result. Command configuration loading can still retrieve a
+missing session file through configured remote storage. It retains the initially
+composed pipeline and selected campaign while resolving either a local or
+downloaded remote session, so one invocation cannot mix pipeline revisions.
+Analyze planning additionally exposes the artifact closure's targets,
+prerequisite rebuilds, execution order, and current reuse.
+
+## Pipeline Stage Set
+
+The implemented canonical order is:
+
+1. [`prepare`](stage-prepare.md)
+2. [`transcribe`](stage-transcribe.md)
+3. [`merge`](stage-merge.md)
+4. [`polish`](stage-polish.md)
+5. [`normalize`](stage-normalize.md)
+6. [`trim`](stage-trim.md)
+7. [`render`](stage-render.md)
+8. [`extract`](stage-extract.md)
+9. [`analyze`](stage-analyze.md)
+10. [`publish`](stage-publish.md)
+11. `notify` (no-op)
+12. [`cleanup`](stage-cleanup.md)
+
+`notify` currently has no persisted pipeline outputs and uses the explicit
+`noop` notification mode. Its versioned semantic evidence records that delivery
+mode and excludes adapter credentials and response data. The focused stage
+documents own implementation mechanics. The
+[CLI](../cli.md) and [Operations](../operations.md) own user-visible invocation
+and execution semantics.
+
+Execution order and invalidation are separate application contracts. The stage
+registry owns the flat execution sequence. The application orchestration owner
+uses a fixed, validated dependency relation to find transitive dependents in
+canonical order. In particular, `render` and `extract` are sibling consumers of
+trimmed transcript state: neither invalidates the other, while either can stale
+`analyze`, `publish`, `notify`, and `cleanup`. Cleanup is a dependent of notify,
+so any earlier replacement can stale a prior cleanup result.

+# Stage: analyze
+
+## Purpose
+
+Reconcile configured Scriptorium artifacts, execute only required work in
+dependency order, and safely materialize validated outputs.
+
+## Inputs
+
+- ordinary configured artifacts from `pipeline.scriptorium.artifacts`; canonical
+  party artifact families have already expanded into this map during
+  configuration resolution, including corresponding member dependencies and
+  rewritten member-artifact input sources. Each artifact's dependency list is
+  already the normalized union of explicit ordering edges and configured-artifact
+  input edges.
+- optional selected artifact keys supplied through the stage environment
+- built-in, configured, extraction, and previous-session source references in
+  artifact inputs
+
+Supported source families:
+- built-ins: `narratio.transcript.*`, `narratio.bounds.session`
+- prepared stable inputs: `narratio.input.players`, `narratio.input.party`,
+  `narratio.input.glossary`, `narratio.input.spell_catalog`
+- configured artifacts: `narratio.artifact.<key>`
+- extraction lanes: `narratio.extraction.<key>`
+- previous-session cache: `narratio.previous_session.artifact.<key>`
+
+## Outputs
+
+- one current per-artifact manifest record per validated materialized output
+- stage metadata describing selected/generated/reused artifacts
+
+## Key Behavior
+
+- when `pipeline.scriptorium` is absent or no configured artifact is
+  executable, completes successfully and records explanatory metadata. Before
+  returning, it reconciles and checkpoints the complete session collection:
+  records removed from configuration are dropped, while valid records for
+  configured but unselected artifacts remain authoritative. This is not an
+  explicit self-skip: the session manifest records success, satisfies publish's
+  prerequisite, and an ordinary later run reuses the result while the effective
+  set remains empty. Enabling or selecting an artifact later makes missing
+  versioned evidence non-resumable and schedules it without requiring force.
+- builds a runtime artifact catalog containing built-ins, configured artifacts,
+  and configured extraction lanes. Extraction availability is hydrated only
+  from compatible successful extraction evidence.
+- uses enabled configured artifacts by default. An explicit `--artifacts`
+  selection is a one-invocation override that makes exactly the named
+  configured artifacts explicit targets even when disabled. The work planner
+  adds required configured prerequisites, reuses current ones, and schedules
+  stale, missing, or otherwise non-current prerequisites before dependents.
+- makes a non-executable configured artifact reusable only when its current
+  manifest record and durable output pass the configured-artifact evidence
+  contract; an incidental or stale canonical file is unavailable.
+- validates selected artifact dependency order (cycle-safe topo ordering).
+- consumes only the concrete dependency graph finalized by configuration;
+  planning, prerequisite closure, execution, reuse, invalidation, and semantic
+  evidence do not infer a second graph from inputs.
+- resolves required/optional inputs per artifact source definition into an
+  ordered semantic identity. Each identity records the configured input name,
+  canonical source ID, required policy, explicit presence, source contract,
+  checksum, size, and a source-based logical identity. Workspace paths and
+  producer run IDs are excluded.
+- orders input identities by configured input name independently of Go map
+  iteration. Runtime adapter paths remain a separate execution-only map.
+- omits an unavailable optional input from the adapter request while retaining
+  explicit absence in its semantic identity; an unavailable required input
+  fails.
+- resolves prepared stable input sources through the shared manifest-authoritative
+  identity resolver; it does not accept incidental files or fall back to
+  campaign/session source paths.
+- reuses checksums and sizes from validated prepared, extraction, and current
+  configured-artifact evidence. Other resolved inputs are hashed as confined
+  regular files with streaming reads and the central resolved-artifact size
+  limit.
+- owns a versioned SHA-256 fingerprint contract with one fixed-field canonical
+  JSON payload and no map serialization. Configured artifacts are fingerprinted
+  in deterministic dependency order.
+- fingerprints the normalized artifact key, prompt and profile identifiers,
+  effective render-debug behavior, session-relative output identity, sorted
+  dependency keys, ordered input declarations and semantic identities,
+  validated current dependency-output identities, and sorted effective
+  Scriptorium variables (including Narratio's sticky session variable).
+- provides read-only reconciliation that classifies each configured record as
+  current, stale, missing, failed, or otherwise non-resumable, and
+  separately identifies manifest records removed from current configuration.
+  A record is current only when its fingerprint version and value match and its
+  configured output still passes manifest-authoritative evidence validation.
+- owns a read-only typed work planner. Its explicit targets are enabled
+  artifacts by default or the exact normalized `--artifacts` selection when
+  supplied. It closes targets over configured prerequisites, orders the closure
+  topologically, reuses current members, and schedules every non-current member
+  before its dependents.
+- force applies only to explicit targets. A current prerequisite is reused
+  unless it is itself an explicit forced target; disabled prerequisites may be
+  rebuilt when required, while unrelated disabled artifacts are excluded.
+- the work plan carries explicit targets, prerequisite-only work, deterministic
+  execution and reuse lists, invalidated and removed records, and a cloned
+  reconciled starting collection. Valid unrelated configured records survive
+  reconciliation, removed records are omitted, and incidental files never
+  become current without manifest-backed regeneration.
+- implements aggregate resume validation by running the same read-only catalog,
+  fingerprint reconciliation, and work planner used by execution. A succeeded
+  aggregate record is reusable exactly when the selected closure schedules no
+  artifact work and no removed configuration records require a checkpoint;
+  stale unrelated records do not block a partial selection.
+- exposes the typed artifact decision to `session plan`. Planning applies it to
+  a cloned manifest after modeling earlier selected stage transitions, so
+  aggregate run/skip and artifact execute/reuse decisions match the ordinary
+  runner without creating durable state or invoking Scriptorium.
+- executes only the work plan's scheduled entries. Manifest-validated current
+  prerequisites remain available through the runtime catalog without invoking
+  Scriptorium; newly produced prerequisites enter that catalog with the same
+  contract, checksum, and size identity used for persisted current evidence.
+- before the first adapter call, checkpoints the reconciled starting collection
+  when it removed configuration records or cleared obsolete authority. After
+  each successful artifact, checkpoints the complete collection before making
+  that artifact available to the next scheduled dependent. Analyze supplies
+  its typed update to the shared
+  [checkpoint persistence boundary](manifest.md#checkpoint-persistence-boundary)
+  and refreshes its working and committed collections only after the save
+  succeeds.
+- keeps adapter output in the invocation's run-local analyze directory until
+  it is a safe, non-empty, bounded regular file with a calculated checksum and
+  complete output contract. Canonical replacement uses the shared atomic file
+  operation boundary and verifies that the installed checksum matches the
+  validated run-local bytes.
+- records each successful artifact's freshly computed fingerprint, canonical
+  relative output path, contract, checksum, size, producer run ID, bounded
+  Scriptorium provenance, logs, and generated configuration references in the
+  analyze-owned manifest collection.
+- preserves valid unrelated current records during partial execution. If a
+  rebuilt output's bytes and contract are unchanged, unselected dependents may
+  remain current. If that semantic identity changes, unselected transitive
+  dependents become stale without being executed; dependents included in the
+  invocation are evaluated in dependency order instead.
+- returns aggregate outputs from every current session record in normalized-key
+  order after the complete reconciled collection has been checkpointed;
+  unrelated stale records do not make an otherwise successful partial
+  invocation fail.
+- resolves previous-session sources from local `previous/` cache only.
+- runs optional render-debug, then artifact execution.
+- validates non-empty output files and materializes canonical outputs.
+
+## Failure Semantics
+
+- required missing configured/previous-session inputs fail.
+- missing required prepared stable input source includes prepare rerun guidance.
+- missing required previous-session source includes prepare rerun guidance.
+- missing required `narratio.transcript.final_markdown` or
+  `narratio.transcript.final_trimmed_markdown` inputs includes render rerun
+  guidance.
+- dependency cycles or unavailable required dependencies fail.
+- adapter validation failures fail stage.
+- a scheduled artifact failure installs a retry collection on the live manifest
+  with the active artifact marked `failed`, a bounded error, and no output
+  authority. Current transitive dependents become stale without execution.
+- earlier artifacts remain current only after their run-local output passed
+  validation, canonical materialization, and a successful complete-collection
+  manifest checkpoint; unattempted later artifacts retain their reconciled
+  session state.
+- unrelated current records survive a partial failure. Old canonical bytes for
+  the failed artifact and newly materialized bytes whose checkpoint fails are
+  incidental, not current evidence.
+- a checkpoint failure stops the queue immediately. The in-memory retry
+  collection starts from the last successful checkpoint, marks the active
+  artifact failed without output authority, and stales its current transitive
+  dependents.
+- the runner's ordinary error path marks aggregate analyze failed, clears its
+  aggregate outputs, invalidates publish, notify, and cleanup through the
+  application dependency relation, and persists the live retry collection.
+  Terminal-save errors are joined with the original artifact or checkpoint
+  failure.
+
+## Invariants
+
+- `analyze` performs no remote storage calls for previous-session source resolution.
+- input-identity resolution is read-only: it does not invoke adapters,
+  materialize outputs, update status, or create run-local files.
+- fingerprints exclude timeouts, retries, timestamps, producer and Narratio run
+  IDs, executable and config paths, workspace roots, diagnostic locations, and
+  executable or private transitive configuration contents. A change that is
+  visible only inside Scriptorium—such as a file privately loaded by its config
+  path—requires an explicit forced regeneration.
+- output provenance and metadata are deterministic per execution.
+- a canonical file without current per-artifact manifest evidence is never
+  promoted to current state.
+- an ordinary retry after interruption or partial failure reuses every valid
+  earlier checkpoint and schedules only failed, stale, missing, or otherwise
+  non-current work in dependency order.

+# Stage: cleanup
+
+## Purpose
+
+Remove explicitly configured local data for the run selected by a successful
+publish commit. Cleanup is the twelfth and final canonical stage, after
+`notify`.
+
+## Authorization And Targets
+
+Cleanup is disabled unless at least one of these policies is true:
+
+- `pipeline.spool.delete_audio_after_publish`
+- `pipeline.workspace.cleanup_after_publish`
+
+An enabled cleanup requires the manifest's publish stage to be succeeded with
+`uploaded=true`, a canonical `published_run_id`, and the exact remote commit and
+current commit-pointer keys for the manifest campaign/session prefix. The
+configured campaign and session must match the manifest. Cleanup derives its
+only possible targets through the canonical artifact path helpers:
+
+- the published run's session spool-audio directory; and
+- the published run's workspace run directory.
+
+It does not scan parent directories, infer the newest run, or read object
+storage. Every deletion uses the root-confined file operation, which rejects a
+root itself, traversal, symlink escape, and out-of-root targets.
+
+## Execution And Resume
+
+Disabled cleanup records an explicit skipped result. Enabled cleanup removes
+targets in deterministic policy order and treats an already-missing target as
+success. A successful record contains the published run ID and completed policy
+names.
+
+A previous cleanup success is reusable only while its semantic configuration
+matches and every selected target remains absent. A recreated target makes the
+stage non-resumable. A failure is recorded against cleanup; publish remains
+succeeded and remote current state is unchanged. On a later normal full run,
+valid upstream stages are skipped and cleanup is retried without republishing.
+
+`narratio publish` selects publish only and never invokes cleanup. A bounded run
+through `notify` or any earlier endpoint also excludes it. Operators may run
+`narratio run-stage cleanup <session_id>` directly; missing, failed, malformed,
+or identity-mismatched publication evidence fails before deletion.

+# Internal: Extract Stage
+
+## Responsibility
+
+`extract` runs after `render` and before `analyze`. It converts the canonical
+`narratio.transcript.final_trimmed` JSON into configured Notarius lane artifacts.
+An omitted or disabled Notarius section makes the stage explicitly self-skip
+with reason `notarius_disabled`, no outputs, and no Notarius runner.
+
+The external protocol is documented in the
+[Notarius integration contract](../integrations/notarius.md). Configuration
+fields belong in [Configuration](../config.md), and physical paths and force
+procedures belong in [Operations](../operations.md).
+
+## Lifecycle
+
+`internal/stage/extract.go`:
+
+1. resolves the final trimmed transcript from the shared artifact catalog;
+2. resolves every configured prepared reference through the shared
+   manifest-authoritative identity resolver before creating run-local output;
+3. resolves each reference to a stable content-addressed session snapshot,
+   reusing verified bytes or reconstructing a missing/corrupt regular entry,
+   and rejects any source change observed while copying;
+4. fingerprints the byte- and provenance-bearing Notarius invocation evidence,
+   including sorted reference identities and the explicit downstream
+   configuration-overlay selection;
+5. creates a run-local staging directory and invokes the injected
+   `notarius.Runner`, carrying the optional already-resolved credential
+   reference without exposing its value, the optional exact configuration
+   overlay, plus effective resume and chunk-cache controls after force
+   precedence;
+6. revalidates the reference snapshots, then validates the v2 successful
+   receipt, confined index, management documents, configured required lane
+   descriptors, validation summaries, and regular payload files;
+7. atomically promotes the complete bundle to its immutable durable location;
+8. records one non-selectable `notarius_index` output and one selectable
+   `notarius_lane` output per configured lane; and
+9. registers each lane as `narratio.extraction.<output_key>` for downstream
+   Scriptorium and publish resolution.
+
+Lane records retain checksum, contract, producer run ID, and Notarius system,
+run, pipeline, and lane provenance. Stage metadata retains the durable bundle
+root, receipt, diagnostic paths, rejection/warning summaries, producing
+Narratio run ID, the resolved trimmed-input identity, and invocation
+fingerprint. The input identity binds the exact transcript bytes, canonical
+source ID, producer stage/output/run identity, and resolution provenance.
+Reference metadata contains only selector, source ID, canonical session-relative
+path, checksum, and size; adapter requests receive selector and absolute stable
+snapshot path, never payload contents. Snapshot bytes must
+match the prepared identity both before and after Notarius runs, so a concurrent
+prepared-file replacement cannot make recorded provenance describe different
+bytes from those supplied to Notarius.
+Validation completes before the single durable rename, so a rejected result
+cannot expose a partial durable bundle.
+
+Snapshot destinations are owned by `internal/artifacts` under
+`cache/notarius/references/<sha256>/<prepared-basename>`. They contain no run ID
+or timestamp and can be reused across invocations. Identical bytes and basename
+share a verified file; changed bytes select a different digest directory.
+Unsafe path components and non-regular conflicts fail without recursive
+deletion. Snapshot paths are delivery details and never become manifest output
+evidence or prerequisites for reuse of an already complete extract bundle.
+
+Any executed extraction outcome that replaces a different effective outcome
+marks succeeded analysis and delivery dependents stale. Render is an independent
+sibling and remains current. Repeating the same disabled self-skip with no
+outputs is stable and does not repeatedly invalidate dependent stages.
+
+## Resume Validation
+
+Before the focused validator runs, the application compares extract's versioned
+semantic fingerprint. It covers enablement, Notarius pipeline identity, sorted
+reference selector/source mappings, sorted declared output contracts, and each
+canonical `narratio.extraction.<key>` output identity. It also covers the
+explicit Notarius configuration-overlay selection; omitted, empty, and exact
+`default` selectors share the base-selection identity. It excludes executable,
+timeout, working directory, config path, and private Notarius config contents.
+Credential presence, reference name, and resolved value are likewise
+operational-only and excluded. Ordinary command loading still resolves a
+selected reference before resume evaluation, but a credential-only change does
+not rerun a valid completed extraction or stale its dependents.
+
+`internal/stage/extract_resume.go` then permits a skip only when the existing
+stage record still matches the current byte- and provenance-bearing invocation
+evidence. That evidence covers the current direct trimmed-transcript identity,
+sorted prepared-reference identities, pipeline identity, and configured output
+contracts, plus the same downstream overlay-selection identity. The same
+reference helper and transcript identity are resolved again for artifact
+evidence, so changing current transcript bytes, reference bytes, producer
+identity, or a named downstream selection makes the prior extraction obsolete.
+Operational runner settings do not invalidate otherwise current durable
+evidence. This includes `resume` and `chunk_cache`; changing them alone cannot
+make a complete extraction non-resumable. If extraction executes, ordinary
+runs forward the configured values, while force disables resume and selects
+`refresh`.
+
+A valid prepared-reference change makes extraction non-resumable. Missing,
+unsafe, or checksum-inconsistent prepared evidence is a hard validation error
+with prepare-force guidance because an immediate extract rerun cannot succeed.
+
+The validator then checks the producing run identity, canonical immutable
+bundle root, path confinement and absence of symlink components, receipt
+identity, exactly one canonical index, the exact configured source set,
+contracts and provenance, regular-file status, and stored checksums. Missing or
+obsolete results are non-resumable and run again; unsafe filesystem conditions
+return an error rather than silently accepting or replacing data.
+
+This sensitivity is limited to the explicit downstream selector. Narratio's
+own overlay label and whole effective-configuration digest are not blanket
+extraction invalidators. Neither contract can observe files imported by
+Notarius configuration, profile contents, prompt/module definitions, or other
+transitive inputs. Operators must force extraction after changing any such
+private input behind a stable identifier.
+
+## Failure Behavior
+
+Adapter startup, timeout, nonzero exit, receipt decoding, path confinement,
+index compatibility, inconsistent warning or diagnostic envelopes,
+required-lane rejection or incomplete validation, payload inspection,
+checksum, or installation errors fail the stage through ordinary manifest
+transition handling.
+Stdout receipt and stderr diagnostics remain separate. Downstream stages are
+not given selectable extraction sources unless the complete configured result
+has passed validation and installation.
+
+When a replacement attempt begins, the current session-stage record no longer
+advertises payload from the previous success. A failed replacement therefore
+has no current outputs, logs, generated configuration references, or metadata,
+while the earlier immutable promoted bundle remains available for audit and
+recovery.

+
+Required previous-session inputs fail when unavailable; optional missing inputs
+are typed skipped results. Each requirement resolves only from its unique
+`published_output` declaration in the pointer-selected remote commit. Prepare
+strips that selected run's immutable `published/` prefix to derive the local
+cache path, then validates the committed checksum, size, and generation.
+
+## Invariants
+
+- only `prepare` hydrates canonical `previous/` cache state.
+- managed previous artifacts are stored under `previous/artifacts/**` without
+  duplicate `artifacts/artifacts/` nesting.
+- managed `previous/` state represents only the current requirement set.
+- `manifest.inputs` ordering is deterministic (`kind`, `path`).
+
+## Resume Evidence
+
+Prepare records a versioned semantic-configuration fingerprint for the
+resolved campaign/session selection, local-versus-S3 audio mode and canonical
+audio names, stable-input ownership/presence, previous-session identity, and
+the party mode plus canonical players projection version, and the effective
+previous-artifact requirement set. A change reruns prepare and
+stales its fixed descendants. Existing successful records without this
+evidence rerun once when selected.
+
+Workspace, spool, and cache placement and absolute source relocation are not
+semantic when logical selection, canonical names, and bytes are equivalent.
+The fingerprint deliberately does not read or rehash large audio. Prepared
+input checksums remain the content provenance. Before reusing success, prepare
+validates every durable prepared copy and compares current stable-input bytes,
+canonical party and derived-player bytes, local audio membership/checksums, or
+S3 key/size/entity-tag identity with that provenance. Source relocation with
+equivalent names and bytes remains reusable; changed or unavailable evidence
+causes a normal prepare rerun.

+# Stage: publish
+
+## Purpose
+
+Upload run/session outputs to object storage and atomically advance remote current state.
+
+## Inputs
+
+- successful preceding stages from the [canonical stage set](overview.md#pipeline-stage-set)
+- declared run-local diagnostic files
+- resolved publish output rules
+- independent per-source remote lock objects read at planning start
+- the validated prior current commit when an initially locked source may carry
+- durable previous-session cache files when present
+
+## Outputs
+
+- uploaded session manifest, declared run-local diagnostics, and selected
+  publish outputs;
+- uploaded durable previous-session cache files when present;
+- immutable run-scoped commit manifest; and
+- current commit pointer, written last.
+
+Exact remote placement and the operator workflow belong in
+[Operations](../operations.md#publish-workflow).
+
+## Key Behavior
+
+`publish.go` retains the transaction-owning `Run` path. Source discovery,
+manifest-derived archive metadata, confined opening, and checksum validation
+live in `publish_sources.go`; artifact-catalog matching, selection, required
+and optional rules, destination resolution, and collision inputs live in
+`publish_outputs.go`. Copying, hashing, immutable upload, reuse checks, and
+remote verification live in `publish_transfer.go`; committed-manifest,
+immutable-commit, and current-pointer encoding and writes live in
+`publish_commit.go`. `publish_output_plan.go` owns the deterministic, I/O-free
+five-outcome model and its secret-free metadata projection.
+
+- when publishing or run upload is disabled, completes successfully with no
+  outputs and records explanatory metadata. This is not an explicit self-skip:
+  the session manifest records success. Enablement and upload policy are
+  fingerprinted, so changing either automatically makes the prior result
+  non-resumable.
+- validates prerequisite stage success and object-store availability.
+- derives a deterministic run-archive allowlist from the session manifest's
+  declared current-run outputs, logs, and generated configurations. References
+  outside the current run root, including canonical session files and prior-run
+  diagnostics, are not archive candidates. No distinguished diagnostic file is
+  read or uploaded.
+- opens each archive candidate beneath its archive root without following
+  symlinked ancestors or leaf entries, verifies that it is a regular file and
+  checks a declared checksum when present, then streams the opened descriptor.
+- derives the durable previous-cache archive from its validated manifest using
+  the same confinement and regular-file checks.
+- resolves publish output sources through runtime artifact catalog and
+  manifest-aware resolution. Configured Scriptorium outputs are publishable
+  only from validated `current` per-artifact analyze evidence; an incidental
+  canonical file, aggregate output, stale/failed/unselected record, or
+  mismatched path, size, or checksum remains unavailable. Built-in and
+  extraction sources likewise require their own current manifest evidence.
+- publishes extraction lanes only through explicit configured output rules;
+  neither run-local nor durable Notarius bundles are scanned or uploaded wholesale.
+- selected artifact filter applies to configured artifact sources only.
+- plans every configured output into exactly one source-sorted outcome:
+  `published`, `carried_locked`, `locked_unpublished`, `optional_missing`, or
+  `unselected`.
+- an initially locked selected output carries its exact prior
+  `published_output` declaration when one exists. The declaration may point to
+  an earlier run in the same session and retains its source, key, checksum,
+  size, and generation; the bytes are not copied.
+- verifies a carried object's exact key, size, and generation through object
+  metadata without downloading or opening the local output source.
+- an initially locked source with no prior declaration remains absent even
+  when the output rule is required. Optional missing unlocked outputs remain
+  absent; required missing unlocked outputs fail.
+- creates one complete immutable source-to-destination mapping before upload;
+- uploads and verifies every declared immutable object and the commit manifest;
+- writes the immutable commit from the combined new and exact carried
+  declarations.
+- rereads every initially unlocked participating source after the immutable
+  commit. A newly present lock aborts selection, leaving the uploaded immutable
+  attempt unselected. Removing an initial lock may conservatively produce one
+  carry because the initial snapshot controls the plan.
+- updates `current/commit-pointer.json` exactly once, last, and writes no other
+  mutable publication control record.
+
+## Metadata Signals
+
+Includes counts/lists for:
+- run uploads
+- published output uploads
+- previous uploads
+- one `publish_output_outcomes` collection containing all five output states,
+  exact declared keys, and key-derived origin runs where applicable
+- remote commit and current-pointer key paths
+- the run identifier selected by the commit
+
+## Invariants
+
+- `current/commit-pointer.json` is the remote commit marker and is written last.
+- run files, selected outputs, previous-cache files, and the committed session
+  manifest are all declared by an immutable commit under the run prefix.
+- run and previous uploads contain only manifest-declared regular files opened
+  from verified descriptors; symlinks, special files, replacement races, and
+  undeclared entries are rejected or ignored before uploads begin.
+- run-local diagnostics, including Notarius receipt and stderr files, are
+  archived only when recorded by the session manifest. A run with no declared
+  current-run diagnostics legitimately uploads none.
+- independent publish locks are not overridden by `--force`; every initially
+  unlocked relevant source is reread immediately before current-state
+  selection.
+- successful uploaded publication records the exact run ID, remote commit key,
+  and current-pointer key consumed by the later cleanup stage.
+
+## Resume Semantics
+
+The versioned semantic fingerprint covers enabled behavior, run-upload policy,
+normalized source/destination/required output rules, and the remote backend,
+bucket, region, endpoint, and root-prefix identity. Rule ordering is
+canonicalized. Credential
+environment names, path-addressing transport mode, local workspace placement,
+and run identifiers are excluded. Independent remote locks remain mutable state
+and are read directly by publish at planning and commit boundaries; semantic
+evidence does not replace those safety checks.
+
+The commit boundary and cleanup authorization are normative architecture invariants; see
+[Architecture](../policy/architecture.md#publish-commit-boundary).
+
+Publish never deletes local state. The standalone `publish` command selects
+only this stage; a full run selects notify and cleanup afterward.

+# Stage: render
+
+## Purpose
+
+Render Markdown transcript artifacts from normalized JSON transcripts via Seriatim.
+It runs after `trim` and before `extract` in the canonical sequence. Render and
+extract are independent sibling consumers: replacing render output does not
+invalidate extraction, but it does invalidate succeeded analysis and delivery
+records that may consume rendered transcripts.
+
+## Inputs
+
+- `narratio.transcript.final` (`transcripts/final.json`)
+- `narratio.transcript.final_trimmed` (`transcripts/final.trimmed.json`)
+
+## Outputs
+
+- `narratio.transcript.final_markdown` -> `transcripts/final.md`

+## Key Behavior
+
+- uses `pipeline.render` settings (enabled/format/title/booleans).
+- resolves inputs only from verified manifest output evidence.
+- writes run-local outputs first, then materializes canonical session outputs.
+- records input provenance, output paths, adapter metadata, logs, and generated config refs.
+- when `pipeline.render.enabled=false`, completes successfully with no outputs
+  and records explanatory metadata. This is not an explicit self-skip: both
+  manifests record success. Because enablement is fingerprinted, enabling
+  render later automatically makes the prior result non-resumable.
+
+## Failure Semantics
+
+- missing normalized input fails with normalize rerun guidance.
+- missing trimmed input fails with trim rerun guidance.
+- adapter/subprocess failure fails stage.
+- empty render output files fail validation.
+
+## Invariants
+
+- only `format: markdown` is supported.
+- render stage owns production of built-in Markdown transcript sources.
+
+## Resume Semantics
+
+The versioned semantic fingerprint covers enablement, final format, resolved

+# Stage: transcribe
+
+## Purpose
+
+Generate raw per-speaker transcripts from prepared audio using WhisperX.
+
+## Inputs
+
+- `audio/*.flac` from `prepare`
+
+## Outputs
+
+- `transcripts/raw/<speaker>.json`
+
+## Key Behavior
+
+- discovers prepared audio from manifest inputs or the canonical audio
+  directory and derives each speaker identity from its `.flac` filename.
+- hashes the current audio and reconciles it with the versioned per-speaker
+  completion collection before starting HTTP work.
+- reuses only records whose audio identity, observable WhisperX semantics,
+  canonical output location, JSON, checksum, and size remain current.
+- durably checkpoints the reconciled collection before dispatch, then sends
+  only missing or obsolete speakers through the bounded worker group.
+- validates each successful run-local response, rechecks the audio bytes,
+  materializes the canonical raw transcript, and checkpoints that speaker
+  before accepting another completion.
+- rebuilds aggregate stage outputs in stable speaker order from the complete
+  current collection, including records produced by earlier invocations.
+
+## Invariants
+
+- prepared audio identities must be unique; prepare disambiguates distinct
+  source paths that share a basename.
+- output path returned by adapter must match requested output path.
+- an empty adapter result path means the requested path; adapters cannot select
+  an alternate destination.
+- candidate collection construction, the shared
+  [checkpoint persistence boundary](manifest.md#checkpoint-persistence-boundary),
+  and installation into live state are serialized by transcribe's mutex.
+  Expensive hashing and HTTP work remain outside that critical section.
+- a canonical file has no completion authority until its manifest checkpoint
+  succeeds. A save failure preserves the last successfully committed
+  collection for ordinary retry.
+- each successful output is validated before its checkpoint, and cancellation,
+  incomplete dispatch, or a failed aggregate save cannot be reported as
+  aggregate stage success.
+- removed audio inputs are omitted from the current collection and aggregate
+  output list; reconciliation does not delete arbitrary transcript files.
+- merge cannot consume a partial versioned collection: it requires transcribe
+  aggregate success and an exact match between current speaker records and
+  declared aggregate outputs.
+
+## Resume Evidence
+
+Each completed speaker record binds the speaker ID, session-relative audio
+path, streamed audio checksum and size, the Narratio-visible WhisperX service
+URL and recognition language, and the canonical transcript path, checksum,
+size, and producer run. Changed audio bytes select that speaker for replacement;
+a changed URL or language selects every speaker. Either case stales fixed
+descendants through the normal runner decision. Retry count/delay, concurrency,
+timeout, credentials, and diagnostic locations are operational and do not
+change this evidence.
+
+An ordinary retry reuses every valid speaker checkpoint even when aggregate
+transcribe status is failed, running, or stale. A succeeded stage is skipped only
+when its stored speaker set and aggregate output evidence also match the current
+collection. Otherwise, execution repairs those records without retranscribing
+reusable speakers and stales dependents through the normal runner path.
+`--force` first durably replaces
+the collection with an empty versioned collection, so a later ordinary retry
+cannot resurrect pre-force results; speakers checkpointed by that forced
+attempt remain reusable.
+
+WhisperX models or private service configuration not exposed by Narratio's
+adapter contract cannot be fingerprinted; use `--force` after changing them.
+An older aggregate-only transcribe record has no trustworthy audio-to-output
+binding. When transcribe is next selected, every current speaker is therefore
+generated once and recorded in the versioned collection; later invocations can
+reuse it normally.

+## Outputs

+## Invariants

+- normalized transcript is required input.

+# Internal: Storage
+
+## Purpose
+
+Explain the object-store interface and S3 implementation used by Narratio.
+Remote key layout and lifecycle belong in [Operations](../operations.md), while
+operator-selected storage fields and credential mechanisms belong in
+[Configuration](../config.md).
+
+## Primary Contract
+
+`storage.ObjectStore` interface:
+
+- `List(ctx, prefix)`
+- `Read(ctx, key)` returns an object body and the generation observed with it
+- `Download(ctx, key, localPath)`
+- `Upload(ctx, localPath, key, opts)`
+- `UploadConditional(ctx, source, key, opts, condition)`
+- `Delete(ctx, key)` removes one object and succeeds when it is already absent
+- `Exists(ctx, key)`
+
+Key invariant:
+- callers pass full bucket-relative keys;
+- storage implementations do not infer campaign/session/run prefixes.
+
+`ReadObjectBounded` is the shared mechanism for small control objects. It opens
+one object version, returns the metadata observed with that body, rejects an
+oversized known size before transfer, and still performs a context-aware
+limit-plus-one read. It closes the body on every exit. Callers own the policy
+limit and add the control-object category to errors; this helper is not used for
+large artifact payloads.
+
+## Composition
+
+`NewObjectStoreFromConfig` constructs the S3-backed implementation from
+resolved configuration. The application loads configured filesystem secrets
+before calling it. The storage adapter consumes already-resolved values; it does
+not own discovery, defaults, or configuration validation.
+
+## S3 Backend Behavior
+
+- normalizes object keys.
+- `List` paginates and returns normalized `ObjectInfo`.
+- A truncated S3 listing must supply a new, non-empty continuation token;
+  otherwise listing fails with bucket and prefix context instead of looping.
+- `Download` writes local files with parent directory creation.
+- `Upload` streams local file and returns remote metadata.
+- `Read` binds a returned body to its S3 ETag. `UploadConditional` maps an ETag
+  match or absence precondition directly to the provider request and reports a
+  failed precondition without performing a local check-then-write replacement.
+- `Delete` maps one normalized key to the provider delete-object operation and
+  treats an absent object as success.
+- `Exists` maps not-found responses to `false`.
+
+## Invariants
+
+- storage layer is stateless regarding manifest/stage progression.
+- bounded reads never retain more than the caller's limit plus one byte and do
+  not replace owner-specific size policy.
+- publish ordering semantics are owned by stage/app code, not storage adapters.
+- A caller that installs remote content into a canonical workspace path first
+  writes a sibling temporary file, validates the complete object against its
+  owner-specific contract, and only then replaces the destination. Temporary
+  files used solely for remote comparisons are removed by their callers and do
+  not represent installed workspace state.

+# Internal: Workspace
+
+## Purpose
+
+Explain the helpers that construct local session and run paths, coordinate
+single-writer access, and confine cleanup. The authoritative physical layout and
+retention workflow belong in [Operations](../operations.md#local-state-layout).
+
+## Path Ownership
+
+`internal/artifacts` owns canonical session, run, spool, cache, and
+previous-cache path construction. `SessionPathsFor` provides the session-scoped
+path model, and layout creation goes through `EnsureLayoutFor`. Callers should
+consume those helpers instead of rebuilding relative paths.
+
+`internal/pathsafe` validates relative destinations. `internal/fileops` opens
+explicit cleanup roots and removes only normalized proper descendants through
+the resulting root handle.
+
+`internal/fileops` owns the ordinary workspace mode contract. On POSIX,
+`WorkspaceDirectoryMode` is setgid `02775` and `WorkspaceFileMode` is `0664`.
+`EnsureWorkspaceDirectory` reapplies the directory mode after creation so a
+restrictive umask cannot remove group access, while retaining existing ownership
+and group. Credential paths are outside this contract; the platform-specific
+operational requirements are in [Operations](../operations.md#workspace-permissions).
+
+## Run-Local Stage Layout
+
+`internal/stage/run_local.go` maps stage outputs and diagnostics into an
+invocation-scoped layout. Successful outputs are validated and atomically
+materialized into canonical session paths before stage success. Managed
+previous-session cache paths remain session-durable and are never redirected
+into run-local output space.
+
+Extraction uses run-local receipt, stderr, and output-root helpers, then
+validates and renames the external bundle to the unique immutable Notarius
+bundle path supplied by `internal/artifacts`. Exact physical paths belong in
+[Operations](../operations.md#extraction-workflow).
+
+Prepared references delivered to Notarius use session-durable paths owned by
+`internal/artifacts` beneath
+`cache/notarius/references/<sha256>/<prepared-basename>`. These verified
+content-addressed snapshots are outside run-local layout, survive ordinary
+published-run cleanup, and are excluded from publish and restore enumeration.
+
+## Locking
+
+`artifacts.LocalStore` enforces the single-writer session lock via an
+operating-system lock held on `.lock` (`ErrLockConflict` on contention). The
+file retains owner metadata after release or process death; its existence is
+not evidence that a lock is active. Command and restore flows wait for this
+lock only while their context remains active, and report a release failure.
+
+The runner assigns every invocation a run-workspace identity but creates the
+physical directory only before an executing stage that requires it. Fully
+reused invocations and cleanup-only invocations therefore do not accumulate
+empty run directories.
+
+## Cleanup Semantics
+
+The canonical cleanup stage:
+
+- runs after notify only when selected by the invocation range;
+- requires a succeeded publish record with `uploaded=true`, the published run
+  ID, remote commit key, and current commit-pointer key;
+- consumes the resolved cleanup policy described in
+  [Configuration](../config.md);
+- refuses unsafe deletes (root delete, traversal, and out-of-root targets);
+- treats missing targets as successful, idempotent deletion; and
+- uses its ordinary failed/succeeded manifest stage record for retry. A later
+  full run can skip reusable upstream stages and retry cleanup without
+  republishing.
+
+Manual cleanup uses the same root-confined deletion mechanism. Invocation
+syntax and exact deletion scope belong in [CLI](../cli.md#clean) and
+[Operations](../operations.md#cleanup).
+
+## Invariants
+
+- campaign-aware session root is mandatory.
+- manifest-driven stage state is durable across runs.
+- cleanup guardrails prevent destructive root/out-of-scope deletion.
+- restore installation is confined to validated relative paths beneath the
+  selected session root.
+- ordinary workspace paths retain group-writable directory and file modes across
+  nested creation, replacement, and Notarius promotion.
+

+
+Operator workflow for running, recovering, and publishing Narratio sessions.
+
+For command syntax, see [docs/cli.md](./cli.md). For field-level config, see [docs/config.md](./config.md).
+
+## Campaign and Session Selection
+
+Campaign selection priority:
+
+- `--campaign-file`
+- `--campaign`
+- `pipeline.campaigns.default_campaign_id`
+
+Session source priority:
+
+- `--session`
+- local default search paths
+- remote session object (S3) when local session file is not found and storage is configured
+
+## Session Initialization
+
+Use `session init` to generate a concrete session file for local or remote use.
+
+Local file:
+
+```bash
+narratio session init 2026-04-04 --output ./session.yml --date 2026-04-04 --title "Session 12"
+```
+
+Remote session object:
+
+```bash
+narratio session init 2026-04-04 --remote --force
+```
+
+If `campaign.yml` sets `session_template_file`, `session init` renders it. Template variables must resolve to concrete values.
+
+Campaigns must provide stable input files for speakers, autocorrect, glossary,
+players, and party, and may provide an optional spell-catalog overlay. Session
+files may override those paths for one session. The `prepare` stage
+materializes them under `inputs/`; configured consumers use the prepared files,
+never the original campaign or session source paths. Field definitions and
+source IDs are in [Configuration](./config.md#notarius-reference-bindings).
+
+## Standard Session Workflow
+
+1. Select pipeline/campaign/session config.
+2. Validate session readiness:
+
+```bash
+narratio session validate 2026-04-04
+```
+
+3. (Optional) inspect stage decisions:
+
+```bash
+narratio session plan 2026-04-04
+```
+
+4. Run the pipeline:
+
+```bash
+narratio run 2026-04-04
+```
+
+5. Check state:
+
+```bash
+narratio session status 2026-04-04
+```
+
+Run, plan, and status output identify the resolved pipeline overlay (or `none`)
+and effective configuration digest. Status distinguishes the current resolved
+value from the last value persisted in the session manifest, which helps
+diagnose overlay switches without changing resume authority.
+
+Before switching an operational overlay, compare its effective meaning with the
+production base through `narratio config diff default <overlay>`.
+The command is read-only and succeeds whether it finds differences or not. Its
+sorted records describe defaulted, expanded concrete configuration—not source
+file layout—so it can be used to review model, artifact, and publish changes
+without creating a session or run. Use `narratio config artifacts` to review the

+
+## Stage Execution and Continuation Behavior
+
+Canonical stage order:
+
+1. `prepare`
+2. `transcribe`
+3. `merge`
+4. `polish`
+5. `normalize`
+6. `trim`
+7. `render`
+8. `extract`
+9. `analyze`
+10. `publish`
+11. `notify`
+12. `cleanup`
+
+Execution rules:
+
+- succeeded stages are skipped unless `--force` is set; stages with semantic
+  configuration contracts additionally require matching versioned evidence;
+- `run` continues interrupted or partially completed sessions by running non-succeeded stages;
+- forcing a stage marks succeeded transitive dependents as `stale` before the
+  replacement runs; render and extract are independent siblings; and
+- an executed failure, changed self-skip, or success that replaces a different
+  effective outcome uses the same fixed dependency relation. A
+  repeated self-skip with the same reason and no outputs is stable and does not
+  perpetually rerun dependent work.
+
+Every aggregate stage except analyze currently provides semantic-configuration
+evidence; transcribe additionally reconciles per-speaker completion evidence,
+while analyze retains its more precise per-artifact fingerprints and validator.
+Prepare additionally validates current stable/local/S3 source identity and the
+checksums of its durable prepared copies before reuse. Changed bytes, audio
+membership, S3 object identity, or missing/tampered copies rerun prepare and
+its fixed descendants without requiring `--force`. Changing prepare selection
+semantics likewise reruns all fixed descendants; changing
+WhisperX language/service identity reuses prepare; changing a Seriatim merge
+transformation reuses prepare and transcribe; and changing a selected Audita
+overlay, profile, or module sequence reuses prepare, transcribe, and merge while
+rebuilding transcript refinement. A trim change invalidates both render and
+extract through the fixed dependency relation, while a render-only change
+preserves the extract sibling.
+
+Operational timeouts, retry/concurrency tuning, executable paths,
+workspace/cache/spool placement, reports, diagnostics, and secret values are
+excluded. Configuration, models, prompts, modules, or resources loaded
+privately inside external tools remain unobservable to Narratio. If their
+contents change behind the same configured identifier, explicitly force the
+affected stage.
+
+An explicit self-skip is a durable `skipped` stage outcome that later runs
+reconsider. It differs from successful no-output execution: disabled `render`
+and `publish`, and absent or no-executable `analyze`, record `succeeded` with
+metadata and no outputs. Ordinary later runs reuse those successful results;
+force the affected stage after enabling or configuring it. Optional artifact
+inputs are omitted only from the consuming artifact invocation and do not make
+the stage self-skip.
+
+Single-stage execution:
+
+```bash
+narratio run-stage normalize 2026-04-04 --force
+```
+
+Contiguous bounded execution uses inclusive canonical endpoints:
+
+```bash
+narratio session plan 2026-04-04 --from extract --through analyze --force
+narratio run 2026-04-04 --from extract --through analyze --force
+```
+
+Omitting `--from` selects from `prepare`; omitting `--through` selects through
+`cleanup`. Force applies only within the selected range. Repeating `--from`,
+`--through`, or `--force` is rejected instead of resolving by argument order.
+The plan command uses the same selection contract and prints only the selected
+range. Planning is read-only: it clones the loaded manifest, models selected
+stage transitions and invalidation in memory, and invokes resume validation
+without writing the manifest, creating run directories, materializing files,
+or invoking pipeline adapters. Analyze detail separates explicit targets,
+prerequisite rebuilds, scheduled execution, and current reuse. This lets a
+coarsely stale aggregate analyze stage show zero artifact executions when its
+selected artifact evidence is still semantically current.
+
+Before a bounded run or plan whose range starts after `prepare`, every excluded
+prefix stage must already have a session-manifest status of `succeeded` or
+`skipped`. Narratio reports the first absent, pending, running, failed, stale,
+or interrupted prerequisite without creating a run-local directory or changing
+session state. Widen `--from` to include that stage, or recover it explicitly
+before retrying. Excluded prefix stages are not resume-validated or repaired as
+part of the bounded invocation; selected stages still reject missing, unsafe,
+or manifest-inconsistent inputs at their owning boundary.
+
+Stages after `--through` are not prerequisites and are never scheduled by the
+bounded invocation. A selected forced stage can mark one of those succeeded
+dependents stale through the fixed invalidation relation, but the dependent
+does not execute until a later invocation selects it. Production composition
+likewise initializes only collaborators needed by the selected range and
+shared session lifecycle. In particular, render does not require Notarius or
+Scriptorium, extract does not require Scriptorium, and analyze does not require
+the transcription, Seriatim, Audita, or Notarius adapters.
+
+### Transcription continuation and replacement
+
+Transcribe checkpoints each validated speaker independently. If a later
+speaker exhausts HTTP retries, the process is canceled, or the aggregate stage
+save fails, the aggregate stage is not successful and downstream merge cannot
+consume the partial set. The last successfully saved speaker records and their
+canonical `transcripts/raw/<speaker>.json` files remain durable, however.
+
+After correcting the underlying problem, retry normally:
+
+```bash
+narratio run-stage transcribe 2026-04-04
+```
+
+Narratio hashes the current prepared audio, validates recorded transcript JSON,
+checksum, size, and location, and calls WhisperX only for missing or obsolete
+speakers. A changed audio file replaces only its speaker; a changed WhisperX
+URL or language makes every current speaker non-reusable. Retry, timeout, and
+concurrency tuning do not invalidate completed speakers.
+
+Use force only when every current transcript must be replaced, including after
+a WhisperX model or private server-side configuration changes behind the same
+URL and language:
+
+```bash
+narratio run-stage transcribe 2026-04-04 --force
+```
+
+Force durably clears the reusable collection before sending requests. If that
+forced attempt fails, a later ordinary retry reuses only replacement speakers
+checkpointed after the reset; it does not revive pre-force results. Do not edit
+speaker checksums or copy older JSON into the canonical directory to influence
+reuse.
+
+The first current Narratio invocation that selects transcribe for an older
+aggregate-only manifest retranscribes every current speaker once because the
+old record cannot prove which audio bytes produced each file. Subsequent runs
+reuse the new versioned evidence normally. The overall session-manifest schema
+identifier is unchanged, but older strict-decoding Narratio binaries may reject
+a manifest after current Narratio writes the additive speaker fields; retain a
+backup or complete the upgrade before relying on downgrade.
+
+Restoring a manifest does not implicitly publish or restore every raw speaker
+file. If a recorded canonical transcript is absent locally, ordinary
+reconciliation schedules that speaker again. Removing run directories does not
+remove canonical checkpointed transcripts and does not by itself invalidate
+them.
+
+## Artifact Development Workflows
+
+Choose the narrowest workflow that matches the intended replacement:
+
+| Intent | Command | Preserved and rebuilt state |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Rebuild analysis only | [`narratio analyze 2026-04-04`](./cli.md#analyze) | Preserves transcripts and the current extraction bundle; force-runs selected analysis artifacts and their required analysis prerequisites. |
+| Rebuild extraction and analysis | [`narratio regenerate-artifacts 2026-04-04`](./cli.md#regenerate-artifacts) | Preserves transcripts; force-runs the complete configured extraction bundle, then selected analysis. `--artifacts` narrows analysis only. |
+| Continue bounded work normally | [`narratio run 2026-04-04 --from extract --through analyze`](./cli.md#run) | Uses ordinary resume decisions: current extraction and analysis can be skipped, while incomplete or obsolete work runs. |
+
+All three stop before publication. Inspect the results and run
+[`narratio publish`](./cli.md#publish) separately when delivery is intended.
+
+For the extraction-plus-analysis development loop, use:
+
+```bash
+narratio regenerate-artifacts 2026-04-04
+narratio regenerate-artifacts 2026-04-04 --artifacts session_recap,player_handout
+```
+
+This command is a transparent expansion to a forced bounded `run` from
+`extract` through `analyze`. Extraction always rebuilds its complete configured
+bundle. Analysis rebuilds the selected targets and their required analysis
+prerequisites, or uses the normal default selection when no artifact names are
+given. The command does not run publish, notify, or cleanup; delivery and
+retention remain separate operator actions.
+
+Inspect current artifact evidence, then publish explicitly when the regenerated
+set is ready:
+
+```bash
+narratio session artifacts 2026-04-04
+narratio publish 2026-04-04
+```
+
+If planning or execution reports stale, missing, failed, or tampered
+analysis evidence, regenerate the affected target instead of copying an older
+canonical file into place or editing the manifest. See
+[Troubleshooting: Analysis artifact evidence is not current](./troubleshooting.md#analysis-artifact-evidence-is-not-current).
+
+Analyze checkpoints each completed configured artifact before starting later
+artifact work. After a partial failure or interruption, retry normally: valid
+earlier checkpoints are reused and execution resumes with failed, stale, or
+missing work in dependency order. `--force` is unnecessary unless the operator
+intends to replace otherwise-current artifacts.
+
+### Developing With Audita And Notarius Overlays
+
+All three applications use ConfigKit, but each owns its root configuration and
+its own `overlays/` directory beside that file. A Narratio testing overlay can
+explicitly select downstream testing overlays without requiring their names to
+match. For example, Narratio's `overlays/testing.yml` may contain:
+
+```yaml
+audita:
+  overlay: testing
+notarius:
+  config_overlay: downstream-economy
+```
+
+Place Audita's settings in `overlays/testing.yml` beside its configuration, and
+Notarius's settings in `overlays/downstream-economy.yml` beside its configuration.
+Use each tool's own schema for model/profile selection and other settings;
+Narratio neither copies those settings nor implicitly forwards its overlay name.
+Select the Narratio file with `--overlay testing` on the desired command. Each
+downstream selector is used only when its stage actually executes: `polish` for
+Audita and `extract` for Notarius. Production can omit both selectors.
+
+For Audita debug inspection, its testing overlay can include:
+
+```yaml
+diagnostics:
+  debug: true
+  work_dir: /path/to/audita-debug
+```
+
+Audita retains detailed artifacts under that directory. Inspect them there;
+Narratio does not collect or manage them. Ordinary Audita reports remain a
+separate existing integration. Leave debug disabled in Audita's production
+configuration unless deliberately needed.
+
+Notarius's debug controls are different: `debug.directory` selects a location
+but does not enable capture. Capture requires its `--debug` flag, which Narratio
+does not currently forward. Selecting a Notarius testing overlay therefore does
+not by itself enable a debug bundle. See the upstream
+[Audita configuration](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/audita/src/tag/v2.0.1/docs/config.md)
+and [Notarius CLI](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/notarius/src/tag/v0.8.1/docs/cli.md)
+for their respective controls.
+
+Edits inside downstream configuration behind an unchanged selector are not
+automatically detected by Narratio. To inspect a fresh Audita debug run, explicitly
+rerun polish, for example:
+
+```sh
+narratio run SESSION --overlay testing --force --from polish --through polish
+```
+
+This replaces polish output and invalidates dependent results; it is not a
+diagnostics-only operation. Selecting testing does not create an isolated
+workspace or retain a separate current result.
+
+Notarius v0.8+ defaults to two additional eligible transient provider attempts
+per generation. Review downstream retry settings and Narratio's extraction
+timeout together; retries can increase elapsed time and provider charges.
+Notarius v0.8.1 refreshes its built-in profile checkpoint identity, so older
+checkpoints may not be reused. Source-keyed chunk plans and already published
+outputs are unaffected; no manual cache deletion is required.
+
+Selecting Narratio's `testing` overlay then supplies `downstream-economy` only
+when extraction executes. Switching that explicit selector makes a recorded
+extraction non-current and reruns it when `extract` is in the selected stage
+range; the usual dependent invalidation then applies. Selecting an overlay does
+not create a separate workspace or retain a separate current extraction result.
+
+Narratio cannot observe edits inside Notarius configuration behind an unchanged
+selector. Force extraction after such an edit when a replacement is intended.
+Use `regenerate-artifacts` when both extraction and analysis must be rebuilt;
+use `analyze` when the existing extraction bundle should be preserved. Field
+semantics belong in [Configuration](./config.md#notarius-configuration-overlay),
+with Audita selectors covered under
+[Audita selection and credentials](./config.md#audita-selection-and-credentials).
+Exact downstream invocations belong in the [Audita](./integrations/audita.md)
+and [Notarius](./integrations/notarius.md#invocation) integration contracts.
+
+## Artifact Selection
+
+For a configured artifact family, selecting its family key expands to every
+concrete character artifact. Select a concrete generated key to operate on one
+member only. Manifests and plan output retain the concrete key as the durable
+identity and include the family and character ID as optional provenance.
+
+`--artifacts` can be used on `run`, `session plan`, `run-stage`, `analyze`, and
+`publish`. For a bounded run or plan, the selected range must contain `analyze`
+or `publish`.
+
+Selection behavior:
+
+- validates names against `pipeline.scriptorium.artifacts`;
+- selects explicit analyze targets and permits their required configured
+  prerequisites to be reused or rebuilt first;
+- filters publish rules for `narratio.artifact.<name>` sources only;
+- does not suppress built-in transcript, bounds, or explicitly configured
+  `narratio.extraction.<name>` publish sources; and
+- never partially selects Notarius lanes.
+
+## Extraction Workflow
+
+When Notarius is omitted or disabled, `extract` records an explicit skipped
+outcome with reason `notarius_disabled` and no outputs. A later invocation
+reconsiders the skipped stage, so enabling Notarius does not require force.
+
+When Notarius extraction is enabled, the stage consumes the final trimmed JSON
+and preserves the complete validated Notarius bundle at:
+
+- `artifacts/notarius/{narratio_run_id}/`
+
+The directory is immutable once promoted. Configured lanes become
+`narratio.extraction.<name>` sources for Scriptorium and explicit publish rules;
+the bundle and `index.json` are retained for audit and resume validation but
+are not selectable or published implicitly.
+
+Configured Notarius references resolve only from the current manifest-backed
+prepared inputs. Their canonical locations are `inputs/party.yml`,
+`inputs/players.yml`, `inputs/glossary.yml`, and, when configured,
+`inputs/spell_catalog.json`. Extraction supplies Notarius with verified,
+content-addressed copies under
+`cache/notarius/references/<sha256>/<prepared-basename>`. The full lowercase
+SHA-256 digest identifies the reference bytes, so retries and later invocations
+reuse the same path while changed bytes select a new path. Older snapshots are
+retained and are not current artifact evidence. A concurrent refresh of
+canonical prepared files therefore cannot change the bytes consumed by an
+in-flight invocation.
+For a canonical party, preparation retains the validated authored party bytes
+at `inputs/party.yml` and generates `inputs/players.yml` from that roster.
+The manifest records their checksums separately, with the players input marked
+as derived from the party; refresh preparation after changing the roster rather
+than editing either prepared file.
+Inspect the effective stable-input inventory and
+prepared-file readiness with:
+
+```bash
+narratio session status 2026-04-04
+narratio session validate 2026-04-04
+```
+
+Reference metadata records selector, source ID, session-relative path,
+checksum, and byte size, but never payload contents. Changing a prepared
+reference changes extraction identity: ordinary continuation rejects the old
+result, reruns Notarius, and marks successful downstream stages stale. If the
+prepared file is missing or inconsistent with its manifest checksum, repair
+the source configuration and refresh prepared state first:
+
+```bash
+narratio run-stage prepare 2026-04-04 --force
+```
+
+Starting a replacement clears the previous extraction payload from the current
+session-stage record. If that replacement fails or self-skips, the current
+record does not fall back to the earlier outputs. The earlier immutable bundle
+remains available for inspection, but downstream resolution requires a new
+current successful extraction record.
+
+Notarius extraction validates its run-local bundle and moves it once to the
+unique durable bundle path. A pre-existing durable destination is a collision;
+no duplicate promotion tree is created.
+
+`pipeline.notarius.resume` and `pipeline.notarius.chunk_cache` control work
+inside an executed Notarius invocation. Ordinary extraction forwards their
+configured values. Forced extraction always disables checkpoint loading and
+requests chunk-plan `refresh`, even when the configured mode is `bypass`.
+Refresh regenerates and replaces only the active input's accepted chunk plan;
+it is not cache deletion.
+
+Notarius checkpoint recording must be enabled in the deployed Notarius
+configuration. Narratio neither creates a Notarius pipeline/configuration nor
+reads it to infer checkpoint availability. Configure explicit persistent
+Notarius chunk-plan and checkpoint roots when reuse must survive separate
+Narratio subprocesses. A changed reference, transcript, selected profile,
+profile content, endpoint, or other Notarius checkpoint identity input can
+produce a legitimate cold miss.
+
+There are two independent resume boundaries: Narratio may skip a completed
+`extract` stage without invoking Notarius, while `--resume` allows Notarius to
+reuse compatible accepted work only after Narratio has decided extraction must
+execute. Deleting Narratio's local reference snapshots does not invalidate a
+complete durable extraction; missing snapshots are reconstructed only when a
+later extraction actually runs.
+
+## Migrating Manifest Overlay Provenance
+
+The pipeline-selection rename is a clean cutover. Manifests containing
+`effective_config.selected_profile` are rejected by strict decoding; Narratio
+does not silently discard or translate that retired field.
+
+Before using an affected local session with the new version:
+
+1. Stop Narratio activity for the session and back up its manifest.
+2. Rename only `effective_config.selected_profile` to `selected_overlay`, keeping
+   its `name` and `source`, or remove the retired informational member. If a
+   current `selected_overlay` member already exists, retain it and remove the
+   retired member rather than creating duplicate keys.
+3. Preserve the schema version, digest, stage records, checkpoint evidence,
+   output references, and other session state. Retry the intended command.
+
+This metadata is informational, not resume authority. Do not delete session
+progress or force all stages merely to perform this migration. Other unknown
+fields still require investigation rather than blanket removal.
+
+Do not edit immutable remote committed snapshots. Restoring an older snapshot
+with retired provenance requires a compatible previous Narratio version, followed
+by migration of the restored local manifest before using the new version.
+
+## Migrating Audita and Provider Credentials
+
+This is a breaking clean cutover to Audita v2. Narratio does not translate an
+Audita v1 configuration, retain old field aliases, or generate a downstream
+configuration. Update both the deployed Audita executable/configuration and
+the Narratio pipeline before running polish. Retired Narratio fields are
+rejected by strict configuration loading; account for this break when choosing
+a release version.
+
+| Previous Narratio setting | New ownership and selection |
+| --- | --- |
+| `audita.base_url` | Audita v2 `backends.<id>.endpoint` |
+| `audita.total_llm_concurrency`, `proposal_llm_concurrency`, `validation_llm_concurrency` | Audita v2 `backends.<id>.concurrency` and optional `queue_capacity`; backend capacity is shared across roles |
+| `audita.model`, `validation_model` | Audita PromptKit profile files; optionally select them from Narratio with `audita.proposal_profile` and `validation_profile` |
+| `audita.llm_api_key` | `audita.credentials: [PROVIDER_KEY_NAME]`, matching each Audita backend's `credential` name |
+| `notarius.llm_api_key` | `notarius.credentials: [PROVIDER_KEY_NAME]`, matching references in Notarius-owned profiles |
+| `audita.work_dir_retention`, `report` | Remove; Audita's external configuration owns diagnostics and reporting |
+
+An Audita configuration can also be selected through `audita.config_path`,
+and `audita.overlay` selects an Audita overlay independently of Narratio's
+`--overlay`. Narratio forwards no implicit provider key: a single provider-named
+secret source may be listed for both adapters, and an Audita-only backend key
+may be listed only for Audita. Audita resolves credentials for all configured
+backends, including those not currently selected. Notarius looks up its own
+profiles; Narratio does not discover their credential names. Credential lists
+may be cleared with `[]` in a Narratio overlay.
+
+Prepare the external file from Audita's maintained
+[local example](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/audita/src/tag/v2.0.0/examples/minimal-config.yml),
+[service example](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/audita/src/tag/v2.0.0/examples/production-config.yml),
+and [v2 migration guide](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/audita/src/tag/v2.0.0/docs/migrations/v2.md).
+Before switching the executable, validate the file offline:
+
+```bash
+audita config validate --config /usr/local/etc/audita/config.yml
+```
+
+Use `audita config print-effective --config /usr/local/etc/audita/config.yml --view profiles`
+to inspect downstream profile selection without contacting a provider. For a
+production Audita configuration, leave ordinary reports enabled
+and debug disabled unless an operator deliberately chooses otherwise; Narratio
+does not override those settings. Audita writes `errors.yml`, `recoveries.yml`,
+and `report.md` beside the polished output when reporting is enabled. An
+exit-zero run with a valid transcript succeeds even if those reports describe
+recoverable errors or no applied corrections. See the [Audita integration
+contract](./integrations/audita.md) for report placement and limits.
+
+Narratio's polish resume evidence tracks selected config path, Audita overlay,
+profiles, ordered modules, description, schema, and output identity. Editing
+Audita-owned files behind unchanged selectors is invisible to Narratio; force
+polish with `narratio run-stage polish <session-id> --force` after such edits.
+
+## External Command Lifecycle
+
+When an external command is cancelled or times out, Narratio terminates its
+owned descendants as well as the command itself. Cancellation first requests
+termination where the platform supports it, then force terminates after a
+bounded wait. A command is not considered finished until its leader has been
+reaped, and descendants that keep standard output or error open cannot keep
+the invocation blocked. Other operating systems fail closed rather than launch
+a command without tree ownership.
+
+Subprocess stdout and stderr diagnostics are separately redacted and capped at
+8 MiB per invocation. Narratio does not retain configured credential values in
+these logs or their error tails; reaching a capture limit terminates the command
+tree and reports which stream exceeded the limit.
+
+Run-local diagnostics are:
+
+- `runs/{run_id}/polish/outputs/transcripts/errors.yml`,
+  `recoveries.yml`, and `report.md` when Audita writes them beside its
+  run-local polished transcript
+- `runs/{run_id}/extract/notarius.receipt.json`
+- `runs/{run_id}/extract/notarius.stderr.log`
+- `runs/{run_id}/extract/notarius-output/` before durable promotion
+
+The run upload is an allowlist derived from the session manifest's declared
+current-run outputs, logs, and generated configurations, not a workspace scan.
+References to canonical session files and prior-run paths are excluded. Each
+declared source is opened without following symlinked ancestors or the leaf,
+verified as a regular file, and streamed from that verified descriptor.
+Unlisted files and unsafe entries are never uploaded; a run with no declared
+current-run diagnostics uploads no run-local files. No distinguished diagnostic
+file is uploaded. The durable bundle is never scanned for implicit publication;
+only lanes named by explicit `pipeline.publish.outputs` rules are uploaded.
+To inspect a published polish report remotely, read its declared object under
+the run archive's `polish/outputs/transcripts/` prefix. Session restore does
+not restore run-archive diagnostics as canonical session files; it restores only
+the committed manifest and declared transcript/artifact objects.
+
+To intentionally replace the current extraction result, run:
+
+```bash
+narratio run-stage extract 2026-04-04 --force
+```
+
+Narratio automatically reruns extraction when its recorded invocation contract,
+prepared Narratio reference identities, or durable output validation changes.
+The semantic portion covers Notarius enablement, pipeline identity, declared
+reference mapping, output contracts, and the explicit Notarius configuration
+profile selector. Executable, timeout, working directory, and private
+config-file paths are operational and do not invalidate a current result.
+It cannot fingerprint configuration or profile contents, prompts, modules, or
+other references loaded transitively by Notarius itself. Force extraction after
+changing any of those inputs behind an unchanged selector, even when the
+top-level Narratio and Notarius config paths remain the same. A forced extract
+marks successful downstream stages stale. Ordinary extraction failures or
+outcome changes also stale affected downstream stages, while an identical
+repeated `notarius_disabled` self-skip does not repeatedly invalidate them.
+
+Publish reuse additionally tracks enabled/run-upload behavior, normalized
+output rules, and remote backend/bucket/region/endpoint/root identity.
+Credential environment names, local workspace placement, and run IDs are
+excluded. Regardless of semantic reuse evidence, executing publish reads
+independent remote locks directly and rechecks initially unlocked sources
+before commit selection.
+
+## Publish Workflow
+
+Run publish only:
+
+```bash
+narratio publish 2026-04-04
+```
+
+Equivalent:
+
+```bash
+narratio run-stage publish 2026-04-04 --force
+```
+
+This standalone command stops after publish and does not invoke cleanup. A
+default full `run` continues through notify and cleanup.
+
+Publish commit model:
+
+- uploads eligible run files under `{session_prefix}/runs/{run_id}/`, excluding
+  audio and the run-local Notarius staging bundle;
+- uploads configured published outputs and `previous/**` cache files into the
+  same immutable run scope, including only explicitly configured extraction
+  lanes;
+- writes `{session_prefix}/runs/{run_id}/commit.json` after all declared
+  immutable objects are uploaded and verified; and
+- writes `{session_prefix}/current/commit-pointer.json` once, last.
+
+`current/commit-pointer.json` is the remote current-state commit marker. It
+selects exactly one immutable commit, which declares the complete object set.
+
+## Remote Commit Migration
+
+The immutable remote commit contract uses
+`runs/{run_id}/commit.json` to declare a run's complete object set and a small
+`current/commit-pointer.json` to select it. The pointer binds the selected
+commit by version, checksum, size, and storage generation; committed artifacts
+are also checksum- and generation-bound. Readers accept this contract now and
+strictly reject mismatched or unknown data.
+
+A selected commit may carry a `published_output` declaration from an earlier
+run in the same campaign/session. Restore, previous-session caching, status,
+and artifact inspection use that declaration's exact immutable key and stable
+source; they do not reconstruct a current-run key or scan the session prefix.
+Other artifact types remain confined to the selected commit's own run.
+
+When the pointer is absent, remote state is not published; republish the
+session to establish a committed snapshot. Remote commit state does not carry
+local `current_pointer_written` metadata.
+
+## Publish Locks
+
+Each mutable lock is an independent strict JSON object at
+`{session_prefix}/locks/{sha256(source)}.lock`. The lowercase digest is computed
+from the exact canonical source. Listing validates every object in that
+reserved prefix and reports locks sorted by source.
+
+Upgrades do not read, migrate, or delete the retired `{session_prefix}/locks.yml`
+object. It has no effect on publication and may be removed manually after
+verifying lock commands and publication behavior with the upgraded Narratio
+version. No migration command is required.
+
+Operational rules:
+
+- add uses conditional creation and reports an existing lock;
+- add with `--force` observes the current generation and attempts one
+  generation-matched replacement. A concurrent change is reported for an
+  explicit operator retry;
+- remove is idempotent and reports whether a lock was present;
+- the initial publish lock snapshot controls output planning. A locked source
+  carries its exact declaration from the prior current commit when available;
+  a never-published locked source remains absent even when required;
+- carried bytes are not copied. Publish verifies the prior object's exact key,
+  size, and generation without downloading it; and
+- after immutable uploads and the immutable commit, publish re-reads every
+  initially unlocked participating source. A newly added lock prevents the
+  current pointer from advancing, although the immutable attempt may remain.
+  A removed initial lock may conservatively cause one carry.
+
+Examples:
+
+```bash

+## Restore Workflow
+
+Use restore when local durable session state is missing or stale and remote committed current state is authoritative.
+
+Dry run:
+
+```bash
+narratio session restore 2026-04-04 --dry-run
+```
+
+Apply:
+
+```bash
+narratio session restore 2026-04-04
+```
+
+`--dry-run` does not write durable session files. It still reads the selected
+remote current state and may read object identity/content needed to classify the
+plan, so it is not a network-free operation.
+
+Default restore scope:
+
+- the committed session manifest and the committed transcript/artifact objects
+  declared by the selected remote commit
+- `previous/**` when needed by configured previous-session artifact inputs;
+  each is selected from its exact committed `published_output` declaration
+
+Optional:
+
+- `--include-audio` to include `audio/**`
+- `--force` to overwrite eligible conflicting regular files; it never replaces
+  directories, symlinks, or other non-regular local targets
+
+Restore treats a local leaf symlink or any symlinked ancestor beneath the
+selected session root as a conflict, even when the linked content matches the
+selected remote object. `--force` does not override that conflict.
+
+Before each install, restore validates the destination again beneath the
+selected session root. A target changed into a symlink, directory, or other
+non-regular entry is not overwritten.
+
+Restore writes an execution report at `reports/restore-latest.json`.
+
+If restore fails after beginning installation, it leaves a durable
+`.restore-incomplete.json` marker in the session root. Pipeline runs will stop
+until you rerun the same restore command and it completes. Restore intentionally
+does not try to roll back files already installed; retrying the selected remote
+snapshot is the recovery procedure.
+
+## Local State Layout
+
+Session root:
+
+- `{workspace.root}/work/{campaign}/{session_id}`
+
+Durable session paths:
+
+- `manifest.json`
+- `inputs/**`
+- `audio/**`
+- `transcripts/**`
+- `artifacts/**`
+- `previous/**`
+- `reports/**`
+- `logs/**`
+- `config/**`
+- `runs/**`
+- `cache/notarius/references/<sha256>/<prepared-basename>`
+
+`manifest.json` is the versioned session-progress document. Narratio accepts
+only `narratio.session-manifest.v1`. Do not edit unsupported session state to
+add missing markers. Move it aside and regenerate it, restore a verified
+current committed snapshot, or republish healthy regenerated state as the
+relevant workflow requires.
+
+Validated Notarius bundles live below `artifacts/notarius/{run_id}/`; receipt,
+stderr, and pre-promotion output remain in the producing run's `extract`
+directory as described in [Extraction Workflow](#extraction-workflow).
+Stable reference snapshots live in the session cache path above. Ordinary
+published-run cleanup removes its selected run-local target but retains this
+cache, and publish/restore never enumerate it as an artifact. Remove a snapshot
+or digest directory manually only while no command is active for the session;
+regular missing or corrupt content is reconstructed on the next executed
+extraction, while symlinks, directories, and other unsafe conflicts must be
+investigated and removed deliberately.
+
+Run-local layout:
+
+- `runs/{run_id}/{stage}/outputs`
+- `runs/{run_id}/{stage}/logs`
+- `runs/{run_id}/{stage}/reports`
+- `runs/{run_id}/{stage}/config`
+- `runs/{run_id}/{stage}/scratch`
+
+Spool layout (runtime/transient):
+
+- `{spool.root}/{campaign}/{session_id}/{run_id}/...`
+- restore audio spool under `{spool.root}/{campaign}/{session_id}/restore/audio`
+
+Cache layout (durable S3 audio cache):
+
+- `{cache.root}/s3/{bucket}/...`
+
+Each cached audio file has an adjacent managed identity record. It binds the
+file to its remote object version and verified digest; deleting or altering the
+record simply causes Narratio to download and verify the object again.
+Remote audio and restored files are fully transferred into sibling temporary
+files and validated before they replace their canonical workspace paths.
+
+### Workspace Permissions
+
+Ordinary Narratio workspace content is intentionally shareable with the
+workspace group. On POSIX systems, Narratio-created workspace, spool, and cache
+directories converge on setgid `02775`; ordinary files, including manifests,
+transcripts, generated configuration, logs, reports, and Notarius artifacts,
+converge on `0664`. Narratio explicitly applies these modes so a restrictive
+caller umask does not remove group write or setgid. It does not change file or
+directory ownership: the configured workspace's existing group is inherited.
+
+API keys are credentials, not ordinary workspace data. Store them outside the
+shared workspace or in a separately restricted credential location; ordinary
+workspace group access must never be treated as authorization to read keys.
+Provision a credential directory as `0700` and credential files as `0600`;
+these permission modes are an operator requirement and are not enforced by
+ConfigKit.
+
+Every pipeline-loading command bootstraps credentials once, before the first
+configuration load and before any adapter is constructed. `--secrets-dir`
+selects an explicit directory (relative paths use caller CWD). Otherwise a
+present `secrets/` beside the resolved root pipeline is used, while an absent
+conventional directory is skipped. Explicit missing/empty selections and
+invalid existing directories fail the command. ConfigKit follows a symlink used
+as the selected directory, but immediate entries must be regular non-symlink
+files. Existing environment variables—including empty values—always win.
+
+S3 `access_key_id` and `secret_access_key` are an optional pair of typed
+environment references. When both are absent, the AWS SDK retains its default
+credential provider chain. When both are configured, Narratio supplies their
+load-time resolved values through an explicit static provider. Audita and
+Notarius credential lists likewise resolve at pipeline load. Each adapter
+receives only its listed names and captured values, with no alias mapping or
+ambient environment inheritance. See [configuration](./config.md#audita-selection-and-credentials).
+
+External adapter results are individually bounded before Narratio validates or
+materializes them. These per-file limits do not reserve disk space: prevent hard
+disk exhaustion with filesystem, service, container, or volume quotas sized for
+the session workload.
+
+## Cleanup
+
+Session-scoped cleanup:
+
+```bash
+narratio clean 2026-04-04
+```
+
+Global cleanup:
+
+```bash
+narratio clean --all
+```
+
+Dry-run and cache variants:
+
+```bash
+narratio clean 2026-04-04 --dry-run --clear-cache
+narratio clean --all --dry-run --clear-cache
+```
+
+Rules:
+
+- `clean` deletes work/spool session state;
+- cache is preserved unless `--clear-cache` is set;
+- each deletion is confined beneath its configured workspace, spool, or cache
+  root; root, traversal, and out-of-root targets are refused;
+- the final cleanup stage is gated by successful publish evidence plus:
+  - `pipeline.spool.delete_audio_after_publish=true`
+  - `pipeline.workspace.cleanup_after_publish=true`
+  - the manifest publish record has `uploaded=true`, the published run ID, the
+    exact remote commit key, and the current commit-pointer key.
+
+Cleanup derives only the configured run-scoped spool and workspace targets,
+uses root-confined deletion, and does not read or mutate object storage. A
+failure leaves publish succeeded and the remote committed snapshot current.
+Retry with a normal full run: valid upstream work, including publish and notify,
+is skipped while the failed cleanup stage runs again. `run-stage cleanup` is
+also available when the manifest has valid publish evidence. A range ending at
+`notify` or earlier and the standalone `publish` command never delete local
+state.
+
+Older local manifests that contain the retired cleanup-obligation field are
+intentionally incompatible with strict manifest decoding. If such an
+obligation is still outstanding, complete it with the pre-upgrade binary.
+Otherwise verify that the remote publication is committed, move aside or
+regenerate the incompatible local manifest (or restore the verified remote
+snapshot), and then use the cleanup stage. Manual JSON editing is not the
+normal migration path.
+
+## Operational Caveats
+
+- Local and S3 audio modes are mutually exclusive.
+- Publish requires prerequisite stages through `render` and `analyze` to be succeeded.
+- Markdown publish defaults require render outputs (`transcripts/final.md` and `transcripts/final.trimmed.md`).
+- Restore requires configured object storage and committed remote current state.
+- Pipeline-loading commands bootstrap filesystem secrets once before configuration
+  resolution and object-store initialization.

+      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

+
+ 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

+                       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.

+# Agent Policy
+
+**Base Policy Version:** 1.3
+
+**Last Updated**: 2026-09-28
+
+**Upstream Source**: https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/policy/src/commit/d84a38ebab26f048cafbe59a2246700c35d29843/docs/policy/agents.md
+
+## Purpose
+
+Agents must read and follow these rules.
+
+## Implementation Discipline
+
+**KEY PRINCIPLES:** Write the simplest idiomatic code that satisfies the user's
+request. Do not implicitly strengthen requirements, restrictions, or guarantees
+beyond what the user actually requested.
+
+**Keep implementation machinery proportionate.** Use straightforward,
+idiomatic code and introduce only the machinery needed to support the requested
+behavior and flexibility. Optimize for conceptual simplicity and
+maintainability, not for the fewest lines, fewest options, or narrowest product
+surface.
+
+**Do not invent restrictions.** Do not reject, prohibit, constrain, cap,
+harden, or otherwise narrow behavior unless required by the user, an explicit
+repository contract, or an unavoidable correctness constraint. Preserve
+operator and caller choice where policy has not been established. If an
+additional restriction appears advisable, present it as a decision rather than
+silently implementing it.
+
+**Do not invent guarantees.** Do not strengthen public contracts, guarantees,
+or invariants beyond those expressly requested by the user.
+
+**Use the standard library.** For example: in almost every case, the best
+approach to copying files is to use the standard library. Writing custom code to
+implement power-loss protection at the application level, or to guard against
+bad actors with privileged and concurrent access to the host's filesystem,
+is wasteful, unnecessary, and not idiomatic. Stick to the simple, standard, and
+idiomatic approach unless another path is expressly requested by the user.
+
+**An implementation detail is not repository policy.** Tests and documentation
+must not elevate incidental behavior into a durable guarantee or restriction
+unless that behavior was expressly selected as part of the contract.
+
+## Git Commit Policy
+
+By default, commit each completed, nonempty unit of work using a
+concise, plain-English message describing what changed. This policy is standing
+authorization to create those local commits; a separate user request is not
+required. An explicit user instruction to leave work uncommitted takes precedence.
+
+A unit of work is a focused, reviewable outcome, including its relevant tests and
+documentation.
+Complete the appropriate validation before committing. If work is incomplete or
+validation is blocked, report that state accurately.
+
+Before committing:
+
+1. Run `git status --short` and review the relevant diff, including any staged
+   changes. Identify changes that predate the current unit of work.
+2. Exclude secrets, local environment files, generated junk, and unrelated changes.
+3. Stage only the files or hunks belonging to the completed unit. Use `git add .`
+   only when every included change belongs to that unit. Preserve unrelated
+   staged and unstaged work.
+4. Review `git diff --staged` and run appropriate checks for the change. Reuse
+   successful checks for unchanged content.
+5. Review `git log --oneline -n 10` and use
+   `git commit -m "<concise plain-English commit message>"`.
+6. Report the commit identifier and any remaining uncommitted work.
+
+If the unit cannot be safely separated from pre-existing work, leave it uncommitted
+and explain the overlap rather than silently including that work. If a commit
+fails, preserve the changes and report the failure; do not bypass hooks.
+
+Default commit authorization does not authorize pushing, publishing, amending,
+resetting, reverting, or rewriting history. Those actions require a separate user
+instruction. Do not use `git commit -a` or `git commit --no-verify` to bypass the
+staging and validation discipline above.

+# Architecture Policy
+
+**Base Policy Version:** 1.3
+
+**Last Updated**: 2026-09-28
+
+**Upstream Source**: https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/policy/src/commit/d84a38ebab26f048cafbe59a2246700c35d29843/docs/policy/architecture.md
+
+## 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.
+Do not promote incidental implementation choices into architectural invariants.
+
+## System Shape
+
+Narratio is a small Go application that turns D&D session audio into polished
+transcripts and generated session artifacts. It is an explicit, stage-driven
+orchestrator, not a general workflow engine.
+
+Narratio coordinates specialized external systems rather than reimplementing
+their domains:
+
+- WhisperX performs transcription;
+- Seriatim performs deterministic transcript processing and rendering;
+- Audita performs transcript correction and polishing;
+- Notarius extracts validated structured artifact bundles; and
+- Scriptorium executes prompts and produces configured artifacts.
+
+Narratio owns orchestration, configuration resolution, session and run state,
+artifact and path modeling, manifest persistence, stage sequencing, resume,
+restore, cleanup gates, and publish semantics. External contracts are defined
+in the [integration documentation](../integrations/).
+
+The pipeline has one canonical ordered stage set. Configuration may enable,
+disable, or parameterize supported behavior, but it must not turn that sequence
+into an arbitrary DAG or hide orchestration in generic workflow abstractions.
+An invocation selects either the full sequence or one inclusive contiguous
+range of it. Execution remains flat and canonical even though invalidation is
+dependency-aware: the application owns a separate fixed relation used only to
+stale transitive dependents, including dependents outside a selected range.
+The implemented stage inventory belongs in the
+[Internal Overview](../internal/overview.md).
+
+Narratio is contract-first without being abstraction-heavy. Interfaces and
+extension points should protect demonstrated boundaries. New abstraction is not
+itself an architectural goal.
+
+## Ownership And Dependency Direction
+
+The application boundary owns command dispatch, configuration selection,
+production composition, session locking, and top-level lifecycle. It may depend
+on concrete implementations to assemble a run.
+
+Stage orchestration expresses intent in Narratio-level data and interfaces.
+Stages may depend on configuration, manifest, artifact, path, and adapter
+contracts, but they must not depend on transport-specific request types,
+subprocess argument construction, cloud SDK types, or downstream tool internals.
+
+Adapters translate between Narratio contracts and external systems. They own
+HTTP, subprocess, notification, and object-storage mechanics, including command
+construction, transport behavior, provider response handling, and external
+error adaptation. External dependency types must remain inside the adapter that
+owns them unless that dependency is the adapter's explicit public contract.
+WhisperX HTTP behavior, Seriatim, Audita, Notarius, and Scriptorium command
+construction, notification transport, and object-storage SDK details remain
+behind these boundaries.
+
+State and path services must not infer stage policy. Storage implementations
+receive explicit bucket-relative keys and do not infer campaign, session, run,
+or root-prefix semantics. Manifest persistence records transitions but does not
+choose orchestration policy. Artifact resolution identifies and validates
+artifacts but does not execute producers.
+
+Dependencies should remain narrow and point toward Narratio-owned contracts.
+Prefer the Go standard library. Add an external dependency only when it provides
+a clear correctness, security, interoperability, or complexity benefit, and
+confine it to the boundary that needs it.
+
+## Stage Boundaries
+
+Each stage has one explicit responsibility and declares:
+
+- required input state;
+- produced output state;
+- configuration it consumes;
+- external adapters it uses;
+- manifest references and metadata it reads or writes;
+- skip, force, invalidation, and resume behavior; and
+- failure behavior.
+
+Stages write and validate run-local results before materializing canonical
+outputs where that distinction applies. A stage is complete only after its
+required outputs have been written, validated, and recorded in durable manifest
+state. Later stages depend on recorded success and artifact resolution, not
+merely on incidental files existing on disk.
+
+A failed or interrupted stage must not be presented as successful. Failure
+should preserve enough local state and diagnostics for inspection, recovery,
+and resume. Forcing a stage invalidates succeeded transitive dependents
+according to a fixed application-owned relation that is separate from canonical
+execution order. The relation is validated against the stage inventory and is
+not configurable.
+
+A stage may explicitly self-skip with a stable reason and no outputs. That
+outcome is persisted, clears older outputs owned by the stage, and is
+reconsidered on a later invocation. A stage may also validate whether an
+otherwise successful recorded result is still resumable; an obsolete result
+is staled and rerun, while an unsafe condition that prevents a sound decision
+stops execution.
+
+Shared behavior should live behind a narrow service or helper with one clear
+owner. Stages must not reach across boundaries or reproduce adapter, manifest,
+artifact, or path policy ad hoc.
+
+## Manifest, Resume, And Restore
+
+The session manifest is the durable ledger for progress across invocations. It
+records session and run identity, stage state, input and output references,
+diagnostic references, checksums or provenance where useful, and non-secret
+adapter and publish metadata.
+
+Resume and skip decisions are manifest-driven. Filesystem state may be
+inspected and validated, but file presence alone does not replace recorded
+stage state. Each invocation retains an in-memory command summary and a
+run-local workspace identity, but neither is a durable progress ledger. The
+physical run directory is created on demand only when an executing stage
+requires it; a fully reused invocation or a cleanup-only invocation does not
+leave an empty run directory.
+
+Restore treats committed remote current state as its authority. It must plan
+deterministically, confine remote-to-local paths, protect local conflicts, and
+install the validated session manifest after other restored durable files. The
+physical workflow and recovery procedures belong in
+[Operations](../operations.md).
+
+Restore and runner transitions for one session use the same local lock. A
+durable incomplete-restore marker blocks runner reuse after a partial restore;
+safe retry, rather than rollback of arbitrary local effects, is the recovery
+mechanism. Restored manifest-local references must be confined to the selected
+local session root, never trusted as producer-machine absolute paths.
+
+For the immutable remote-commit protocol, a restore or status operation binds
+to one pointer-selected commit and only its declared object identities. A force
+flag may replace an eligible regular managed file, but never turns a directory
+or other non-regular conflict into a successful restore.
+
+## Configuration
+
+Configuration is strict, explicit, centralized, and operator-oriented.
+
+- YAML decoding rejects unknown fields.
+- Defaults are centralized and testable.
+- Empty configured values do not silently replace meaningful defaults.
+- Validation rejects invalid configuration before stage execution where
+  practical.
+- Root-owned imports and one selected overlay resolve deterministically through
+  the configuration owner; commands do not implement their own merge rules.
+- Canonical party rosters are campaign-owned. Their derived players projection
+  and concrete character-family artifacts are resolved before runtime stages
+  or adapters receive configuration.
+- Resume uses stage- or artifact-owned semantic evidence for observable
+  result-affecting configuration; overlay identity and an effective digest are
+  provenance, never blanket cache keys.
+- Session templating remains narrow and deterministic rather than becoming a
+  general configuration language.
+- Secret values are supplied indirectly and are not persisted in ordinary
+  configuration.
+
+Narratio must not become a second configuration system for downstream tools.
+External systems own their runtime defaults wherever practical; Narratio passes
+the paths required by its stage contracts and explicit operator overrides. The
+field-level contract and credential-supply mechanisms belong in
+[Configuration](../config.md).
+
+## Artifacts, Paths, And Storage
+
+Artifact identities and local and remote paths are application contracts.
+Canonical helpers own workspace, spool, cache, session, run, input, transcript,
+artifact, log, report, configuration, and publish-current paths. Callers must
+not reconstruct canonical paths through scattered string concatenation.
+
+Reusable audio cache entries require a typed record that binds a confined,
+no-follow regular file and its digest to the selected remote object identity.
+Size alone and unqualified multipart ETags are not content-integrity evidence.
+
+Artifact resolution is deterministic and manifest-aware. Producers materialize
+canonical outputs before reporting success, and consumers resolve declared
+artifact identities rather than infer files from unrelated directory contents.
+External artifact bundles become current only through validated immutable
+promotion and manifest records; directory presence alone never establishes
+availability.
+
+Writes, moves, replacements, and deletions must use narrow, explicit,
+root-confined destinations. Symlinks, traversal, broad roots, and ambiguous
+relative destinations must not expand the scope of an operation. Cleanup is
+permitted only through explicit operator action or the configured final cleanup
+stage, and it must preserve durable cache unless cache removal is explicitly
+requested.
+
+Physical layout, retention, and operational lifecycle belong in
+[Operations](../operations.md). Logical external formats and durable integration
+contracts belong under [Integrations](../integrations/).
+
+## Publish Commit Boundary
+
+Publish has one explicit remote commit boundary. A remote run becomes current
+only after Narratio has successfully uploaded its immutable run-scoped objects,
+the immutable commit manifest, and finally the current commit pointer.
+
+`current/commit-pointer.json` is the sole mutable selector and must be written
+exactly once, last. Failed, incomplete, skipped, or uncommitted publish attempts
+must not be presented as current remote state. Publish locks remain authoritative
+and are not bypassed by a forced run. Each mutable remote lock is an independent
+per-source object; lock mutations use provider-enforced generation preconditions.
+Publish revalidates every initially unlocked participating source after writing
+the immutable commit and before pointer selection. A lock observed then leaves
+the prior committed snapshot current. A lock created after that final check may
+race the pointer write; the commit protocol does not claim a stronger distributed
+transaction boundary.
+
+Automatic local cleanup is permitted only after a successful publish commit,
+only when explicitly configured, and only through the path-safety guardrails.
+It is the final ordinary pipeline stage after `notify`. The stage derives its
+exact run-scoped targets from validated publish metadata and the configured
+campaign/session identity; it never infers a target from directory contents or
+rereads remote storage. A cleanup failure makes the invocation incomplete while
+leaving publish succeeded and the committed remote snapshot authoritative. A
+normal later full run reuses valid upstream stages and retries cleanup.
+
+The standalone `publish` command selects only publish and therefore never
+invokes cleanup. Operators may select cleanup directly only when the manifest
+contains valid successful publication evidence.
+
+## Security, Privacy, And Diagnostics
+
+Narratio distinguishes ordinary workspace data from credentials. Campaign and
+session material—including manifests, transcripts, prompts, generated
+configuration, logs, reports, diagnostics, and Notarius artifacts—is
+intentionally shareable with the configured workspace group. API-key material
+is sensitive and is not covered by the ordinary workspace-sharing policy.
+
+Narratio supports Linux on amd64 and arm64. macOS arm64 is best effort: it has
+a cross-build gate and release asset, but no native runtime release gate.
+Windows and macOS amd64 are unsupported and have no compatibility promise or
+release asset.
+
+On supported systems, Narratio-created ordinary workspace directories converge on
+setgid `02775` and ordinary workspace files on `0664`, even when the caller's
+umask is restrictive. This preserves the existing workspace group for nested
+creation and atomic replacements without changing ownership. API-key storage
+uses a separate restrictive contract.
+
+Raw secrets must not be stored in pipeline, campaign, or session YAML or written
+to manifests, logs, generated configuration, reports, publish metadata,
+documentation, or examples. Pipeline configuration names environment variables;
+command-owned startup may populate previously unset variables from ConfigKit's
+explicit or conventional secrets directory. This bootstrap occurs once per
+invocation before any typed configuration load or adapter construction and is
+not hidden inside library loaders. Safe bootstrap diagnostics may identify
+files and statuses but never values. Diagnostics should avoid transcript and
+prompt content unless a deliberate, bounded inspection mechanism requires it.
+
+Logs, reports, generated invocation files, generated configuration, and render
+debug files are diagnostics, not canonical pipeline products. They should be
+durable and discoverable where configured, and manifest references must preserve
+the distinction between diagnostics and artifacts.
+
+Documentation security rules belong in the
+[Documentation Policy](documentation.md). Credential supply belongs in
+[Configuration](../config.md), while permissions, sensitive runtime-artifact
+handling, and recovery belong in [Operations](../operations.md).
+
+## Determinism And Testability
+
+Narratio prefers deterministic behavior where practical, including stable local
+and remote layouts, sorted operation order, predictable generated
+configuration, repeatable command construction, deterministic artifact
+resolution, and reproducible planning.
+
+Run IDs and timestamps may be intentionally variable, but surrounding behavior
+must remain controllable in tests. Core behavior should be testable without live
+external services; expensive, nondeterministic, destructive, or external
+boundaries should be replaceable with focused test doubles. General testing
+philosophy and sufficiency rules belong in the [Testing Policy](testing.md).
+
+## Documentation And Decision Records
+
+Documentation follows the [Documentation Policy](documentation.md). Current
+behavior belongs in its canonical user, operator, integration, architecture, or
+internal owner. Proposed behavior and implementation status belong under
+`docs/roadmap/`.
+
+Significant architectural decisions may be recorded under `docs/adr/` using the
+format and lifecycle defined by the documentation policy. ADR acceptance does
+not establish that a decision has been implemented.
+
+## Architectural Non-Goals
+
+Narratio does not aim to provide:
+
+- a generic DAG or workflow engine;
+- a replacement configuration layer for WhisperX, Seriatim, Audita,
+  Scriptorium, or other downstream tools;
+- a storage abstraction broader than the needs of this pipeline;
+- stage logic coupled directly to cloud SDKs, transports, subprocess details,
+  or downstream implementation internals;
+- raw-secret persistence;
+- implicit cross-stage behavior that bypasses manifest and artifact contracts;
+  or
+- a prompt-authoring system.

+# Documentation Policy
+
+**Base Policy Version:** 1.11
+
+**Last Updated**: 2026-09-28
+
+**Upstream Source**: https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/policy/src/commit/d84a38ebab26f048cafbe59a2246700c35d29843/docs/policy/documentation.md
+
+## Purpose
+
+This policy assigns each documentation topic to one canonical owner. Its goal is
+to keep Narratio's documentation accurate, concise, discoverable, and resistant
+to drift for users, operators, developers, integrators, and LLM coding agents.
+
+## Core Rules
+
+### One Canonical Owner
+
+Each authoritative fact belongs in one document. A non-owning document may give
+a short, stable summary for orientation, but it must link to the canonical owner
+for volatile details.
+
+Volatile details include commands, flags, configuration fields and defaults,
+module keys, schemas, file names, paths, status codes, retry behavior, and
+runtime guarantees. If readers could reasonably treat a statement as a
+contract, maintain it only in the owning document.
+
+### Current And Future Behavior
+
+Outside `docs/roadmap/`, documentation describes implemented behavior only.
+Partial features may be described only to their implemented boundary.
+
+Architectural constraints may govern future changes. Describe current structure
+from implemented behavior.
+
+ADRs may record an accepted architectural decision before implementation. The
+roadmap owns implementation status and sequencing until the decision is
+implemented. Current architecture, user, operator, integration, and internal
+documentation are updated when the behavior lands.
+
+### Audience And Detail
+
+Write for the document's stated audience and include only the detail needed for
+its owned topic. Keep user and operator docs focused on using and operating the
+application. Developer docs should link to user-facing and external contracts
+for their definitions.
+
+### Examples
+
+Complete copyable files belong in `examples/`. Documentation may use the
+smallest illustrative snippet needed to explain its owned topic, but should link
+to maintained examples for complete copyable files.
+
+Examples must be valid, secret-free, and tested where practical. Commands and
+configuration used in documentation should match the application.
+
+### Security And Privacy
+
+Documentation and examples must not contain real credentials, private keys,
+private environment dumps, sensitive source material, or private infrastructure
+details unless intentionally public. Document secret-handling mechanisms, not
+secret values.

+
+Create supporting documents for existing interfaces and responsibilities when

+
+## Boundary Rules
+
+### Orientation
+
+Link among orientation, architecture, and internal documents; maintain each
+package or behavior description in its canonical owner.
+
+### Commands, Configuration, Operations, And Troubleshooting
+
+CLI documentation answers how to invoke the application. Configuration
+documentation answers what settings mean. Operations answers what happens to
+runtime state and how to operate or recover the application. When a workflow
+crosses these topics, choose the document that owns the task and link to the
+other contracts. Troubleshooting begins with observable symptoms and links to the owning contract.
+
+### Releases
+
+The release policy defines requirements and invariants that every release must
+satisfy. The repository-specific release procedure defines the commands and
+workflow maintainers use to satisfy that policy. Release notes record history
+at immutable tags. Maintain current behavior in its canonical documentation,
+update it with the corresponding behavior changes, and keep release procedures
+consistent with adopted policy.
+
+### Project Licensing And Upstream Attribution
+
+README and release documents link to the canonical licensing and attribution
+materials under the [OSS policy](oss.md). The release procedure owns URL
+construction and publication mechanics.
+
+### Contracts And Implementation
+
+Integration and API documents define externally observable shapes and
+semantics. Internal documents explain how this application implements or consumes those
+contracts. Internal docs may name a field, file, or protocol to identify a
+dependency, but must link to its canonical contract for the definition.
+
+### Security Topics
+
+This policy owns what documentation and examples may contain. Architecture owns
+application security invariants. Configuration owns credential-supply
+mechanisms. Operations owns permissions and handling of sensitive runtime
+artifacts. Internal docs own implementation mechanisms only.
+
+## Architecture Decision Records
+
+Use sequentially numbered ADR filenames such as
+`0001-record-architecture-decisions.md`. Follow the lightweight Nygard format:
+
+1. title;
+2. status;
+3. date;
+4. context;
+5. decision;
+6. alternatives considered;
+7. consequences.
+
+Treat the decision content of an accepted ADR as immutable. When a decision
+changes, create a new ADR and update the earlier ADR's status to superseded.
+Rejected architectural alternatives belong in the ADR; rejected product ideas
+belong in the roadmap.
+
+## Maintenance
+
+When behavior changes, update its canonical owner in the same change. If
+ownership moves, remove the old definition and replace it with a link where
+navigation remains useful.
+
+Before completing documentation work:
+
+- verify affected behavior and examples;
+- check commands, flags, fields, defaults, schemas, and paths against their
+  implementation;
+- keep unimplemented behavior in the roadmap, subject to the ADR exception;
+- remove stale references and validate links;
+- confirm that non-owning documents summarize and link rather than redefine;
+- confirm that no secrets or sensitive private data were added.

+
+## Origin And Local Authority
+
+This repository's policy set is adapted from
+[Standard Repository Policies](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/policy).
+The adopted local policies govern work in this repository. Upstream revisions
+become local policy through deliberate adoption, preserving local decisions.
+Each policy's `Upstream Source` identifies its adopted baseline.
+
+## Adoption And Updates
+
+For policy adoption, upstream revision reviews, and updates, consult the
+[upstream adoption and update guide](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/policy/src/branch/main/docs/adoption.md).
+That guide and the reference example collection are maintained upstream and
+accessed through links. Keep discovery links pointed at the current upstream
+project and guide; keep adopted-source and example links pinned to commits.
+
+The local [developer guide](../development.md) routes tasks to applicable

+# Open Source Licensing And Attribution Policy
+
+**Base Policy Version:** 1.8
+
+**Last Updated**: 2026-09-28
+
+**Upstream Source**: https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/policy/src/commit/d84a38ebab26f048cafbe59a2246700c35d29843/docs/policy/oss.md
+
+## 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.
+
+## 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.
+
+## Narratio Licensing Scope
+
+Narratio application code remains GPL-3.0-or-later under its existing
+[COPYRIGHT](../../COPYRIGHT) and [LICENSE](../../LICENSE). Its source and release
+artifacts are hosted on Gitea; separately installed subprocess applications are
+not incorporated merely because Narratio invokes them. The
+[release procedure](../release.md) owns publication mechanics. Policy documents
+adapted from Standard Repository Policies retain CC-BY-SA-4.0 under the distinct
+scope recorded in COPYRIGHT and [attribution](../oss/attribution.md).
+
+## 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/a469273adda336625f96b9d769ea27b33999f146/examples/licensing/application/COPYRIGHT)
+or [library COPYRIGHT example](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/policy/src/commit/a469273adda336625f96b9d769ea27b33999f146/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/a469273adda336625f96b9d769ea27b33999f146/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 Narratio's README with two friendly statements linking to its actual grant
+in root `COPYRIGHT` and to `docs/oss/attribution.md`, using paths relative to
+the README. The statements identify Narratio's GPL v3.0-or-later grant and make
+the open source attribution notices discoverable.
+
+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.
+
+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:** 1.4
+
+**Last Updated**: 2026-09-28
+
+**Upstream Source**: https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/policy/src/commit/d84a38ebab26f048cafbe59a2246700c35d29843/docs/policy/release.md
+
+## Purpose
+
+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 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.
+
+## Release Model And Completion
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+## Versioning And Compatibility
+
+Stable releases use Semantic Versioning in the form `vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`, with
+no leading zeroes. Prereleases require an explicit adopted policy defining
+their format and use.
+
+The selected version must be unused locally and on the authoritative remote.
+Do not require queries to every configured remote or publication service.
+A version known to have already been published must not be reused, even if the
+normal guards do not inspect that channel. Adding a distribution channel
+requires a deliberate update to the policy and procedure where needed.
+
+For releases at or after `v1.0.0`:
+
+- a major release may make intentional incompatible changes;
+- a minor release may add backward-compatible behavior; and
+- a patch release may make backward-compatible fixes.
+
+Before `v1.0.0`, a minor release may change a documented public, operational,
+configuration, data, integration, or compatibility contract when the release
+note explains the impact and required consumer action. A patch release must
+not intentionally break those contracts within its minor line.
+
+Additional compatibility promises and deliberate exceptions belong in the
+adopted policy or canonical contract documentation. Release notes explain
+changes; they do not redefine current compatibility contracts.
+
+## Release Documentation And Preparation
+
+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.
+
+## Narratio Candidate Checks
+
+Narratio's candidate checker adds the following checks to the one full,
+race-enabled offline suite:
+
+- `go mod tidy -diff` detects an incomplete checked-in module graph without
+  changing source.
+- Tracked Go formatting and diff whitespace checks catch inexpensive source
+  hygiene defects before publication.
+- Race instrumentation adds distinct coverage for concurrent I/O,
+  cancellation, and shared state.
+- `go vet ./...` detects static issues not established by runtime tests.
+- The asset builder verifies the declared Linux amd64, Linux arm64, and
+  best-effort macOS arm64 binaries and checks the embedded version on the host.
+
+The checker uses `GOWORK=off` and readonly module mode for tests, vet, and
+builds. Versioned module replacements are allowed; filesystem replacements
+are not release inputs. Workspace and vendor files are not prohibited solely
+by their presence.
+
+## Publication Guards
+
+Automate the checks needed to publish the intended source under a fresh version:
+
+- 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.
+
+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 Failure Recovery
+
+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 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.
+
+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 defect requiring changes to published source or contents requires a corrected
+commit, a new semantically appropriate version, a matching release note, and
+the release procedure again. Leave the original release intact. A channel's
+yank, deprecation, or advisory mechanism may warn consumers away from a defective
+release without replacing its contents or reusing its version.
+
+## Repository Release Procedure
+
+Maintain `docs/release.md` as a short, executable maintainer runbook. It must
+identify:
+
+1. prerequisites, primary branch, and authoritative 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.
+
+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.

+# Testing Policy
+
+**Base Policy Version:** 1.3
+
+**Last Updated**: 2026-09-28
+
+**Upstream Source**: https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/policy/src/commit/d84a38ebab26f048cafbe59a2246700c35d29843/docs/policy/testing.md
+
+## Purpose
+
+Our tests exist to make **incorrect changes expensive and correct changes cheap**.
+
+We optimize for sufficient confidence in important behavior while minimizing friction on future development.
+
+## Every test has a cost
+
+Every test has an immediate and continuing cost: writing, review, execution,
+diagnosis, fixture maintenance, and updates when legitimate behavior changes.
+Tests can also constrain refactoring, duplicate policy, and add failure noise.
+
+A test is warranted only when the confidence it provides justifies these costs.
+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?
+
+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.
+
+Evaluate maintenance cost against the specific failure being protected. When omitting a plausible test, be able to state why the protected failure is low-risk, already covered, obvious, reversible, or cheaper to detect elsewhere. For consequential, subtle, or difficult-to-observe behavior, the presumption should favor testing.
+
+## Default testing style
+
+Use a **classical/Detroit-style** approach:
+
+- Test observable behavior, resulting state, contracts, and invariants.
+- Use real internal collaborators when they are fast and deterministic.
+- Use fakes, stubs, or mocks primarily at expensive, nondeterministic, destructive, or external boundaries.
+- Prefer package-level behavioral tests over tests coupled to private helpers or internal call sequences.
+- Treat exact collaborator interactions as testable behavior only when the interaction itself is a requirement.
+
+Examples of appropriate seams include clocks, randomness, subprocesses, remote APIs, object storage, email, and paid LLM calls.
+
+## Test execution requirements
+
+Tests in the default suite must be deterministic, offline, and independent of real credentials. They must not invoke paid APIs or depend on mutable external services. Tests that require live infrastructure must be explicitly opt-in and clearly separated from the default suite.
+
+Control clocks, randomness, environment variables, and other process-global or machine-specific state when they affect behavior. Tests should be safe to run repeatedly and alongside other tests without depending on execution order or state left by an earlier test.
+
+## What deserves tests
+
+To the extent the following features are present in the application, prioritize tests for:
+
+1. Public and package-level contracts.
+2. Domain rules and important invariants.
+3. Boundary conditions and malformed input.
+4. Failure handling, cancellation, retries, recovery, and partial success.
+5. Serialization, schemas, compatibility, and round trips.
+6. Previously observed or plausible regressions.
+7. Representative integration and end-to-end workflows.
+
+A package-level contract comprises behavior relied upon by another package or major collaborator.
+
+Choose tests for requested behavior and established contracts. Tests must not
+introduce new restrictions, guarantees, or threat scenarios merely because they
+could be asserted. Follow the [agent policy](agents.md) when deciding whether a
+behavior belongs to the contract; current implementation behavior alone is not
+sufficient authority.
+
+For established behavior involving **data integrity, destructive operations,
+compatibility, security, concurrency, idempotency, or recovery**, favor durable
+tests for realistic failures whose consequences warrant protection. Identify
+the failure and the existing contract it would violate. These categories call
+for attention, not an automatic test inventory or permission to strengthen the
+application's guarantees. Account for protection already provided at other layers.
+
+Do not add tests merely because a function, branch, or line exists. Do not add a test when the same meaningful risk is already adequately protected elsewhere.
+
+## Choose the right test boundary
+
+Choose the narrowest stable boundary that expresses the behavior clearly and
+provides durable confidence with minimal incidental coupling.
+
+This is often the package API, but it may instead be:
+
+- a smaller pure function when dense domain logic is most clearly isolated there;
+- a package-level operation when several internal collaborators jointly produce the behavior; or
+- a larger integration boundary when correctness emerges from interaction with a real dependency.
+
+## Test behavior, not implementation
+
+A test should protect a selected decision, contract, or invariant.
+
+A test is suspect when it primarily detects changes to private constants or
+helpers, equivalent operation ordering, incidental formatting, equivalent
+algorithms, or internal structure that preserves behavior.
+
+Behavioral tests should normally remain stable through internal refactoring that preserves the contract.
+
+## Expected effects of different changes
+
+Use the following expectations when evaluating test failures and test maintenance:
+
+| Change | Expected effect on tests |
+|---|---|
+| Internal refactor that preserves behavior | Existing tests should normally remain unchanged and continue to pass. |
+| Change to an internal default with no contractual significance | Behavioral tests should normally remain unchanged; tests should derive expectations from configuration or relationships rather than duplicate the old value. |
+| Intentional change to public behavior, policy, schema, or compatibility guarantees | The relevant tests should be reviewed and changed deliberately. |
+| Accidental violation of a contract or invariant | Tests should fail; fix the production code rather than rewriting the tests to accept the defect. |
+
+A test failing is not the same as a test needing to be edited. Many tests may correctly fail because of one production defect. The maintenance smell is a correct internal change that requires unrelated expectation updates throughout the suite.
+
+## Separate mechanism from policy
+
+Derive expectations from test-controlled configuration and relationships.
+
+For this example, assume the selected contract rejects a request to start more
+processes than a configured limit. Do not encode its production default indirectly:
+
+```go
+// Production default:
+const maxConcurrency = 4
+
+// Brittle test:
+err := startProcesses(5)
+require.Error(t, err)
+```
+
+Instead, test the mechanism relationally:
+
+```go
+const limit = 2
+runner := NewRunner(limit)
+
+require.NoError(t, runner.Start(limit))
+require.ErrorIs(t, runner.Start(limit+1), ErrTooMuchConcurrency)
+```
+
+For this selected contract, the test should prove:
+
+- the configured limit is accepted; and
+- one beyond the configured limit is rejected.
+
+Rejection is not a general requirement for concurrency control. If the selected
+contract queues excess work or limits active workers while accepting larger
+batches, test that behavior instead. Do not add rejection or a configurable
+limit solely to reproduce this example.
+
+The production default should be tested exactly only when its literal value is itself a public, operational, safety, protocol, or compatibility requirement.
+
+Apply the same rule to limits, timeouts, capacities, retry counts, and ranges: test relationships and behavior.
+
+For established concurrency limits, distinguish these behaviors where the contract requires them:
+
+1. **Configuration handling:** values are accepted or rejected according to the selected contract.
+2. **Runtime enforcement:** observed peak concurrency never exceeds the configured limit.
+
+Use a test-controlled limit and measure the behavior relative to that limit.
+
+## Assign each behavior a test owner
+
+Where these layers exist, assign ownership as follows:
+
+- Parser tests own parsing cases.
+- Validator tests own validation rules.
+- Domain tests own transformations and invariants.
+- Adapter tests own external integration behavior.
+- Orchestrator tests own coordination and failure propagation.
+- CLI tests own argument and configuration mapping.
+- End-to-end tests prove that representative assembled workflows work.
+
+Give each layer its distinct responsibility and keep expectation updates localized to the contract being changed.
+
+## Use test doubles deliberately
+
+Choose the least elaborate test double that provides the required control or observation.
+
+As a default:
+
+1. Prefer real collaborators when they are fast and deterministic.
+2. Use small in-memory fakes when realistic stateful behavior is helpful.
+3. Use stubs when a dependency only needs to provide controlled responses.
+4. Use mocks when the interaction itself is contractual.
+
+Mocks are appropriate when the contract includes facts such as:
+
+- a notification is sent exactly once;
+- a transaction is committed only after successful writes;
+- cancellation reaches a subprocess;
+- an expensive API is called no more than once; or
+- a security audit event is emitted.
+
+## Go-specific guidance
+
+Select techniques by behavior and risk:
+
+- table-driven tests for meaningful behavioral categories and boundaries;
+- `t.TempDir()` for real filesystem behavior;
+- `httptest.Server` for realistic HTTP interactions;
+- fuzz tests when exploring broad input spaces, such as parsers or path handling, adds useful protection beyond representative cases;
+- golden files only when the complete output is intentionally stable;
+- integration tests where correctness depends on component interaction; and
+- a small number of representative end-to-end tests when assembled workflows expose meaningful risks not adequately covered at narrower boundaries.
+
+Prefer `errors.Is`, `errors.As`, typed errors, or structured error fields. Use exact error-wording assertions only when the wording is contractual.
+
+At CLI boundaries, prefer exit classifications, structured output, and the smallest stable semantic fragment needed to identify the error. Use complete diagnostic snapshots only when the wording is contractual.
+
+Golden-file updates must require an explicit local flag. CI must not update golden files automatically, and reviewers must inspect the semantic diff before accepting an update.
+
+Keep tests readable and direct. Size test helpers and fixture frameworks to the maintenance benefit they provide.
+
+## Coverage
+
+Use coverage to locate untested critical branches and unexpectedly weak packages. Evaluate test quality through meaningful behavioral protection and choose coverage according to risk.
+
+Pure domain logic will often warrant higher coverage than CLI wiring or external adapters. Uneven coverage is acceptable when it reflects risk.
+
+## Regression tests
+
+A bug fix should normally include a regression test that fails before the fix and passes afterward.
+
+Retain the test when the defect could realistically recur and its consequences justify the ongoing cost. Prefer the narrowest durable test of the violated contract or invariant.
+
+Remove or consolidate a test when the underlying design has made recurrence impossible, its protection is redundant, or a stronger invariant test subsumes it.
+
+## Deleting or rewriting tests
+
+Delete or rewrite tests when maintenance cost exceeds their continuing
+protective value.
+
+Strong candidates include tests that:
+
+- require updates after harmless internal changes;
+- assert incidental private constants or snapshot large amounts of incidental output;
+- verify mock choreography rather than outcomes;
+- duplicate policy across layers, retest trivial helpers covered by package
+  behavior, or protect risks covered more effectively elsewhere;
+- are flaky, misleading, obsolete, or disproportionately expensive to diagnose; or
+- no longer correspond to a plausible failure mode.
+
+Several brittle tests may encode one genuine requirement. Consolidate them into one durable behavior-level or invariant test.
+
+## Reviewing a proposed test
+
+Use the following questions when a proposed test needs closer evaluation. Significant test additions should be reviewable against them; written answers are optional for routine tests.
+
+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 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.
+
+Reassess sufficiency as the application, its users, and the consequences of
+failure evolve.

+# Releasing Narratio
+
+This is the maintainer runbook for the [Release Policy](policy/release.md).
+The source release completes when the intended tag is successfully pushed to
+`origin`; binary delivery is a separate asynchronous status.
+
+## Prepare the candidate
+
+Use `main` and the authoritative Git remote `origin`. Install Git, a POSIX
+shell, standard Unix build tools, and Go 1.26. Have the selected Go modules
+available before offline validation. Git access must permit fetch and tag push.
+Application-provider credentials are not required; Gitea delivery credentials
+belong to CI.
+
+Choose an unused stable `vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH` under the
+[compatibility rules](policy/release.md#versioning-and-compatibility). Narratio
+is past v1.0.0, so intentional CLI or configuration breaks require a major
+release. Update affected canonical documentation with the change. Write the
+matching `docs/releases/vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.md` with a short summary and any
+relevant compatibility impact or upgrade action; choose sections to suit the
+release.
+
+End that checked-in note with these three links, replacing the version in
+each URL with the intended tag. The tag need not exist remotely yet. Check that
+`COPYRIGHT`, `LICENSE`, and `docs/oss/attribution.md` are present in the
+candidate. The tag CI reuses the checked-in note as the hosted release body.
+
+```markdown
+[COPYRIGHT](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/narratio/src/tag/vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH/COPYRIGHT) | [LICENSE](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/narratio/src/tag/vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH/LICENSE) | [ATTRIBUTION](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/narratio/src/tag/vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH/docs/oss/attribution.md)
+```
+
+Retire completed roadmaps included in the release while preserving planned or
+deferred work and repairing affected links. Review the change through the
+ordinary development workflow for unintended files, credentials, private data,
+and documentation accuracy. Commit and push the candidate to `origin/main`
+before tagging; record its exact commit if needed:
+
+```sh
+git rev-parse HEAD
+```
+
+## Publish
+
+From a clean `main` checkout at the pushed candidate, run one command:
+
+```sh
+scripts/release.sh vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
+```
+
+It fetches `origin/main` and tags; requires local `HEAD` to equal
+`origin/main`; checks the committed note and unused version; runs the
+candidate checker **once**; then repeats cheap mutable-state guards before
+creating an unsigned lightweight tag at the recorded commit. It verifies the
+tag target and pushes only
+`refs/tags/vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH:refs/tags/vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`. It does not
+commit, push `main`, force updates, or publish all tags.
+
+The checker runs `go mod tidy -diff`, tracked Go formatting and diff whitespace
+checks, one `go test -mod=readonly -race -count=1 ./...` full suite, and
+`go vet -mod=readonly ./...`. Its asset builder cross-builds Linux amd64,
+Linux arm64, and best-effort macOS arm64, then checks the embedded version
+on a host binary. The macOS cross-build proves compilation, not native
+runtime behavior. Owned Go commands run with `GOWORK=off`; tests, vet, and
+builds use readonly module mode. The deterministic suite includes documentation
+and maintained-example checks. The command does not contact application
+services or Gitea and does not wait for CI.
+
+A successful tag push is the source-release completion point. The command
+prints the tag and commit and exits without a separate network read-back.
+For optional diagnosis before publication, run
+`scripts/check-release-candidate.sh vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`; publication will
+validate the candidate again, so this is not a required preparation step.
+
+## Artifact delivery
+
+Tag-triggered `.woodpecker/release.yml` independently validates the tagged
+source, builds the same three targets, and publishes these Gitea downloads:
+
+- `narratio-vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-linux-amd64`
+- `narratio-vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-linux-arm64`
+- `narratio-vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-darwin-arm64` (best effort)
+- `SHA256SUMS`
+
+The builder embeds the tag version and checks host `version` output. CI
+generates checksums and uses non-overwriting publication settings. It does
+not select versions, change the source, or move tags. No image or package
+registry output is declared. Tag publication is not proof that these
+asynchronous downloads are available.
+
+## Failure and recovery
+
+If validation fails before tagging, correct and commit the candidate, push
+it to `main`, and rerun the publication command. If the tag push reports
+failure, its outcome may be ambiguous: keep the local tag and inspect the
+exact `refs/tags/vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH` at `origin` before declaring success
+or retrying. A reachable matching remote tag at the recorded commit establishes
+publication; a confirmed absent tag permits investigation of the transport
+failure. If `origin` cannot be inspected, publication status is unknown.
+Do not move, overwrite, or automatically retry the tag. Remove a local tag
+only after confirming it was never published or used by a release channel.
+
+A transient CI or delivery failure can be retried from the same immutable
+tag. Missing assets may be added later if they match the tagged source and
+any published checksum manifest; do not overwrite existing binaries,
+checksums, or release-note contents. A source/content defect, or delivery
+that cannot be corrected without replacement, requires a new suitable
+version and matching note. Leave the original release intact.
+
+Optional consumer inspection may compare the tag's remote commit with the
+recorded candidate, check the Woodpecker delivery job and hosted Gitea note,
+download the assets into an empty directory, run `sha256sum --check
+SHA256SUMS` (or `shasum -a 256 --check SHA256SUMS` on macOS), and run
+the matching host binary's `version` command. This is separate delivery
+observation, never a source-release gate.

+# Narratio v1.5.0
+
+Narratio v1.5.0 makes repeated post-transcript artifact development faster and
+more explicit while retaining the fixed, stage-driven pipeline model.
+
+## Highlights
+
+- The canonical pipeline now completes deterministic rendering before
+  extraction, cleanly separating transcript-generating stages from
+  artifact-generating stages.
+- `narratio run` and `narratio session plan` accept inclusive `--from` and
+  `--through` bounds. Excluded transcript stages are not executed or
+  invalidated by a bounded artifact-regeneration run.
+- `narratio regenerate-artifacts SESSION` is an exact convenience alias for a
+  forced run from `extract` through `analyze`, including focused
+  `--artifacts` selections.
+- Configured Scriptorium artifacts now have independent,
+  manifest-authoritative freshness. Narratio reuses validated current work,
+  rebuilds stale prerequisites in dependency order, and persists successful,
+  failed, and newly stale artifact state when an analysis invocation only
+  partially succeeds.
+- Publish consumes only configured artifacts backed by current manifest
+  evidence; incidental or tampered files are not promoted as current output.
+
+## Reliability And Administration
+
+- Bounded prerequisites are checked again under the session lock before any
+  run mutation, closing a concurrent-run race.
+- Analysis fingerprints are stable across executable and configuration path
+  changes and continue to cover only Narratio-observable semantic inputs.
+- Runner composition now carries one validated execution plan from command
+  parsing through prerequisite validation, adapter composition, manifest
+  recording, and stage execution.
+- `narratio version` reports the exact tag embedded in official release
+  binaries; ordinary source builds report `dev`.
+
+## Upgrade Notes
+
+- Existing unbounded commands and direct `run-stage`, `analyze`, and `publish`
+  workflows retain their meanings.
+- Manifests written before artifact-level analysis state remain readable.
+  Legacy aggregate analysis success is not sufficient freshness evidence, so
+  the first analysis evaluation after upgrading may regenerate configured
+  artifacts once.
+- Narratio cannot observe executable contents or configuration, prompt,
+  profile, module, and other files loaded privately by Scriptorium. Explicitly
+  force affected artifacts after changing those private inputs.

+# Narratio v1.6.0
+
+Narratio v1.6.0 makes large pipeline configurations easier to organize,
+inspect, and vary while adding character-oriented artifact generation and a
+guarded, reproducible release procedure.
+
+## Summary
+
+Pipeline configuration can now be assembled from explicit additive imports and
+a selected production or testing profile. Campaigns can own a canonical,
+versioned party roster, and Scriptorium artifact families can expand one
+definition into concrete per-character artifacts, dependencies, variables, and
+publish rules.
+
+New read-only configuration commands expose the fully resolved pipeline,
+source provenance, semantic digest, and profile differences before a session is
+run. Stage reuse now records configuration-sensitive semantic evidence so
+profile or configuration changes cannot silently reuse incompatible work.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+This is a backward-compatible feature release. Existing monolithic pipeline
+files, concrete Scriptorium artifacts, publish rules, and configurations
+without profiles remain supported. When profiles are declared and no explicit
+profile is selected, Narratio uses the configured production default.
+
+An unversioned party file plus a separate players file remains available as an
+isolated legacy compatibility path, but it cannot drive artifact families. New
+campaigns and new party-oriented features should use the `narratio.party.v1`
+schema. Existing manifests remain readable; missing legacy semantic evidence
+is treated as stale rather than trusted.
+
+Narratio continues to consume the documented Notarius D&D pipeline contract.
+The release workflow still cross-compiles Linux, macOS, and Windows binaries
+for `amd64` and `arm64`; cross-compilation is not native runtime evidence for
+macOS or Windows.
+
+## Upgrade
+
+No special action is required for existing monolithic configurations that do
+not adopt profiles or artifact families. On the first run after upgrading,
+stages recorded by older manifests may regenerate once because those records do
+not contain the new semantic configuration evidence.
+
+To adopt the new configuration model, use the maintained
+`examples/production-testing` bundle as a migration reference: split stable
+settings into explicit imports, define a production default and optional
+testing profile, convert campaign party data to `narratio.party.v1`, remove the
+separate players file, and then introduce character artifact families. Review
+the result with `narratio config validate`, `config show`, `config sources`, and
+`config diff` before running a session.
+
+Campaign, session, previous-session, and run identifiers must satisfy the
+documented portable identity grammar. Existing manifests or remote state with
+unsafe legacy identifiers must be migrated before use.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Added root-owned, non-recursive additive pipeline imports with strict,
+  source-aware conflict detection.
+- Added named pipeline profiles with an explicit production default and
+  deliberate command-line selection.
+- Added `config validate`, `config show`, `config sources`, and `config diff`
+  for read-only inspection of resolved configuration and provenance.
+- Added the strict `narratio.party.v1` campaign roster, including stable
+  character IDs, player and character names, optional aliases, and classes.
+- Added deterministic players derivation and canonical party delivery to
+  downstream integrations.
+- Added character-oriented artifact families, corresponding member
+  dependencies, family selection, and generated publish policies.
+- Added semantic configuration fingerprints and stage-specific resume checks
+  across transcript and artifact stages.
+- Added shared release candidate, asset build, and guarded tag-publication
+  scripts, with tag-triggered publication remaining asynchronous.

+# Narratio v1.7.0
+
+Narratio v1.7.0 completes the maintainability refactor begun after v1.6.0. It
+simplifies filesystem and process handling, makes resumable work more precise,
+replaces legacy local and remote state with explicit authorities, and turns
+cleanup into the final ordinary pipeline stage.
+
+## Summary
+
+The session manifest is now the sole durable local progress ledger. Analyze
+checkpoints successful artifacts individually, allowing an interrupted or
+partially failed analysis to resume at the first incomplete artifact without
+rerunning successful siblings unless forced.
+
+Remote publication now commits immutable run state before advancing one
+verified current pointer. Publish locks are independent per-source objects;
+locked outputs retain their previously committed declarations rather than
+being overwritten or silently omitted. Local cleanup runs after notification
+as a separately recorded, safely retryable stage.
+
+The release also adopts Go 1.26, simplifies ordinary file operations around
+Narratio's trusted group-owned workspace model, improves subprocess lifecycle
+handling, decomposes several large orchestration and validation components,
+and removes mutable global test seams.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+This is a minor release with deliberate removal of compatibility paths that
+were deprecated and documented as subject to removal:
+
+- Campaigns must use one versioned `narratio.party.v1` `party.yml`. Separate
+  players files, session-level party overrides, and unversioned party documents
+  are rejected.
+- Session manifests must declare `schema_version:
+  narratio.session-manifest.v1` and satisfy the current strict schema. Older
+  unversioned state and manifests containing the retired
+  `post_publish_cleanup` obligation are rejected rather than migrated.
+- Remote current state must be selected by
+  `current/commit-pointer.json` and its referenced immutable run commit. Legacy
+  current-state layouts are no longer inferred.
+- The retired aggregate `locks.yml` object is ignored. Publish locks now live
+  as independent strict objects under the session lock prefix.
+- Run manifests are no longer produced or consumed. The session manifest owns
+  durable stage progress; invocation summaries and run workspaces remain
+  operational data rather than a second progress authority.
+
+The CLI and current pipeline/configuration formats otherwise remain compatible.
+Building and maintaining Narratio now requires Go 1.26. Cross-built Linux,
+macOS, and Windows assets remain available for `amd64` and `arm64`.
+
+## Upgrade
+
+Before upgrading a campaign that still uses compatibility data:
+
+1. Replace legacy party/player inputs with the documented
+   [`narratio.party.v1`](../integrations/party.md) campaign roster.
+2. If a local manifest contains an outstanding `post_publish_cleanup`
+   obligation, complete it with the pre-upgrade binary. Otherwise verify the
+   remote commit, move aside or regenerate the incompatible manifest, or
+   restore a verified committed snapshot. Do not migrate state by manually
+   editing JSON.
+3. Republish sessions that do not yet have a valid immutable run commit and
+   `current/commit-pointer.json`; legacy remote layouts are not current state in
+   v1.7.0.
+4. Recreate any required publication locks with `narratio session locks add`.
+   After verifying the new locks and publication behavior, the ignored legacy
+   `locks.yml` object may be removed manually.
+
+Existing compatible session manifests and already committed remote snapshots
+need no special action. Consult [Operations](../operations.md) and
+[Troubleshooting](../troubleshooting.md) for recovery procedures.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Upgraded the maintained development and release baseline to Go 1.26.
+- Reworked subprocess execution and Windows process-tree supervision while
+  preserving contextual wait and cleanup failures.
+- Replaced custom confined ordinary I/O and directory-promotion machinery with
+  simpler standard-library operations while retaining bounded reads, atomic
+  single-file visibility, workspace modes, validated downloads, and
+  root-confined destructive operations.
+- Removed legacy party, manifest, artifact-discovery, remote-current, and lock
+  compatibility paths.
+- Consolidated durable progress in the session manifest and removed the run
+  manifest domain model.
+- Unified runner planning and execution decisions, separated invocation
+  lifecycle responsibilities, and avoided creating empty run workspaces for
+  fully reused or cleanup-only invocations.
+- Added per-artifact analyze execution, checkpointing, reconciliation, and
+  recovery.
+- Decomposed configuration validation by domain and made validation diagnostics
+  deterministic without treating incidental ordering or wording as a contract.
+- Introduced immutable remote publish commits, one final current pointer,
+  explicit output planning, safe cross-run carried outputs, and independent
+  per-artifact remote locks.
+- Added `cleanup` as the final canonical stage after `notify`, with validated
+  publish evidence, safe retry, explicit selection, and no separate cleanup
+  obligation.
+- Replaced mutable command test hooks with invocation-scoped dependencies and
+  improved structural test diagnostics.

+# Narratio v2.0.0
+
+Narratio v2.0.0 replaces its configuration infrastructure with ConfigKit,
+simplifies the supported release platforms, and makes artifact definitions and
+their effective dependency graph directly inspectable.
+
+## Summary
+
+Pipeline roots now use ConfigKit v0.1.2 for strict YAML loading, explicit
+imports, fixed-path named profiles, provenance, defaults, and typed credential
+references. The recommended production layout keeps production values in the
+base, defines each ordinary artifact and artifact family in its own imported
+file, and keeps testing changes in `profiles/testing.yml`.
+
+Configured-artifact inputs now create their dependency edges automatically.
+`narratio config artifacts` reports the finalized concrete catalog, including
+generated party-family members, without loading a session or initializing
+runtime adapters.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+This is a breaking configuration and platform release. There is no runtime
+fallback for the retired Narratio composition/profile catalog, `pipeline.secrets`
+or `secrets.env_dir`, credential `_env` fields, or the previous YAML
+presence/default behavior. Defaults apply only to absent values; explicit empty,
+zero, false, and null values retain their typed meaning and may fail Narratio
+domain validation.
+
+The maintained binaries are Linux amd64, Linux arm64, and macOS arm64. Windows
+and macOS amd64 builds are no longer produced or supported. Existing v1 release
+notes remain historical descriptions of their releases.
+
+Inspection commands still avoid session, manifest, workspace, adapter, and
+remote-service activity, but they are not credential-free loaders: every
+explicit typed credential reference in the selected effective configuration must
+resolve; references replaced or removed by that profile need not resolve.
+Pipelines containing artifact families also require a campaign so the canonical
+party can be expanded.
+`config show` is a secret-safe review projection, not a promised reloadable
+authoring file.
+
+## Upgrade
+
+Migrate each operational bundle before running v2:
+
+1. Replace old composition syntax with root-owned
+   [`configkit.imports`](../config.md#pipeline-imports-and-profiles). Imports are
+   additive base sources; they do not override one another.
+2. Fold the old production overlay into the base pipeline. Move testing changes
+   to `profiles/testing.yml`; compare the two independent resolutions with
+   `narratio config diff default testing`.
+3. Follow the maintained
+   [`examples/production-testing`](../../examples/production-testing/pipeline.yml)
+   layout: one explicit artifact entry per `artifacts/<key>.yml` and one family
+   entry per `artifact-families/<key>.yml`. The map key, not the filename, is the
+   stable artifact identity.
+4. Move credential files to an untracked `secrets/` directory beside
+   `pipeline.yml`, or pass `--secrets-dir`. Rename S3 fields to `access_key_id`
+   and `secret_access_key`, and rename the Audita field to `llm_api_key`.
+5. For static S3 credentials, configure both S3 references (commonly
+   `OBJECT_STORAGE_KEY_ID` and `OBJECT_STORAGE_KEY`) and make them resolvable.
+   To use instance roles, workload identity, shared SDK files, or another AWS SDK
+   discovery provider, omit both references. A partial pair is invalid.
+6. Remove a `depends_on` entry when it only duplicates a
+   `narratio.artifact.<key>` input. Keep explicit entries that express ordering
+   without supplying the upstream output as an input.
+7. Review ConfigKit's stricter explicit-value/null semantics and correct values
+   that previously acquired defaults after being explicitly empty. Do not use
+   `config show` output as a source migration mechanism.
+8. Run `config validate`, `config show`, `config sources`, and `config artifacts`
+   with the same profile, campaign, and secrets selection intended for runtime.
+   Resolve the campaign-owned party whenever families are present.
+9. Update deployment and download automation to one of the three maintained
+   platform assets before removing the v1 binary.
+
+The [configuration reference](../config.md), [CLI reference](../cli.md), and
+[maintained examples](../../examples/README.md) are the canonical detailed
+guides.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Adopted ConfigKit v0.1.2 across pipeline, campaign, session, and party loading
+  while keeping Narratio domain validation and post-campaign expansion explicit.
+- Added ConfigKit imports and fixed `profiles/<name>.yml` pipeline overlays,
+  unified safe effective show/diff/digest projection, and source provenance.
+- Added invocation-scoped ConfigKit secrets-directory bootstrap and typed S3 and
+  Audita credential references without exposing resolved values.
+- Inferred, normalized, and validated configured-artifact input dependencies as
+  part of the one concrete graph consumed by analyze planning and resume logic.
+- Added `config artifacts` with stable concrete identities, definition sources,
+  effective dependencies, and generated family/party provenance.
+- Added the maintained production-base/testing-overlay artifact authoring layout.
+- Reduced release assets and active platform support to Linux amd64/arm64 and
+  macOS arm64.

+# Narratio v2.1.0
+
+This release adds explicit Notarius credential forwarding and cache reuse,
+with predictable forced regeneration and clearer artifact-development guidance.
+
+## Summary
+
+Narratio can pass one typed API-key reference to Notarius and opt into reuse of
+its accepted execution checkpoints. Stable, verified reference snapshots allow
+unchanged references to retain their cache identity across Narratio invocations.
+Configuration loading now uses ConfigKit v0.3.0.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+The new `notarius.llm_api_key`, `notarius.resume`, and `notarius.chunk_cache`
+fields are optional. Existing v2 configuration needs no schema migration.
+Configured credential references must resolve during configuration loading,
+even when extraction will not execute; omitted references add no requirement.
+
+Forced extraction now omits Notarius checkpoint loading and requests chunk-plan
+refresh. This includes `regenerate-artifacts`, which remains an alias for a
+forced run from extract through analyze. `analyze` continues to force analysis
+only, preserving extraction results and transcripts.
+
+Notarius v0.7.0 is the tested cache integration baseline, not an unconditional
+minimum-version gate. The executable must support the flags selected for the
+invocation, including `--chunk_cache refresh` for forced extraction. Reference
+bindings retain the contract introduced in Notarius v0.6.0. Receipt and artifact
+schemas are unchanged; reused producers may report zero production attempts.
+
+Supported release platforms remain Linux amd64/arm64 and best-effort macOS
+arm64. macOS validation is cross-compilation, not native runtime testing.
+
+## Upgrade
+
+No special migration is required for existing v2 configuration. To use the new
+features:
+
+- Declare `notarius.llm_api_key` with the environment-variable name expected by
+  the deployed Notarius profile, supplying its value through the existing
+  environment or secrets-directory mechanism.
+- Enable checkpoint recording in Notarius configuration before setting
+  Narratio's `notarius.resume: true`. Prefer explicit persistent Notarius cache
+  roots for service deployments. An optional `notarius.chunk_cache` overrides
+  its ordinary chunk-plan policy.
+- Expect an initial checkpoint miss when moving from old run-local reference
+  paths to stable session snapshots. No migration or deletion of old caches is
+  required. Force refreshes the current input's plan, not the whole cache.
+- Use `narratio analyze SESSION` for analysis-only iteration, and
+  `narratio regenerate-artifacts SESSION` when extraction should also be rebuilt.
+
+See [Configuration](../config.md), the
+[Notarius integration contract](../integrations/notarius.md), and
+[Artifact Development Workflows](../operations.md#artifact-development-workflows)
+for current details.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Upgraded ConfigKit from v0.1.2 to v0.3.0 and isolated pipeline-discovery tests
+  from machine configuration.
+- Added optional typed Notarius credentials, exact-name environment delivery,
+  safe configuration projections, and captured-stream redaction for custom names.
+- Added Notarius resume and chunk-cache controls with force taking precedence.
+- Added verified, content-addressed session reference snapshots that survive
+  ordinary run cleanup without becoming published artifacts.
+- Preserved relative-workspace support for snapshot delivery and confinement.
+- Kept credentials and cache-policy controls outside extract's semantic resume
+  identity, so operational changes alone do not invalidate completed results.
+- Added an opt-in real Notarius integration test using a local provider to
+  verify reuse, partial-failure recovery, and forced refresh without paid calls.

+# Narratio v2.1.1
+
+This release fixes configuration loading for publish rules that explicitly set
+requiredness while relying on a derived destination.
+
+## Summary
+
+Publish rules with a derivable source and omitted `dest` now load correctly
+whether `required` is omitted, explicitly true, or explicitly false. Previously,
+explicit requiredness could trigger ConfigKit's `resolve.unrecorded_change`
+diagnostic instead of accepting valid configuration.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+This is a backward-compatible bookkeeping correction. Publish schemas,
+destination derivation, requiredness defaults, and YAML syntax support are
+unchanged. Explicit destinations and explicit false values remain intact.
+No ConfigKit upgrade or publication/storage behavior change is involved.
+
+## Upgrade
+
+No special upgrade action or configuration migration is required. Operators
+need not add a derivable `dest`, remove explicit `required` values, or change
+flow-style YAML to block-style YAML. See the
+[configuration reference](../config.md#publish-configuration-summary).
+
+## Changes
+
+- Recorded derived publish destinations at ConfigKit's atomic sequence boundary
+  while retaining field-level resolution records.
+- Added real load/validation and safe effective-configuration regression coverage
+  for built-in and configured-artifact sources, explicit requiredness, and an
+  explicit destination that must remain unchanged.

+# Narratio v2.1.2
+
+This release allows secrets directories to contain hidden metadata without
+preventing credential loading.
+
+## Summary
+
+ConfigKit v0.3.1 ignores dot-prefixed entries such as `.git`, `.gitignore`, and
+`.DS_Store` during secrets bootstrap. These entries no longer block otherwise
+valid credentials from loading and are omitted from bootstrap reports.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+This is a backward-compatible dependency bug fix. Configuration schemas,
+existing-environment precedence, and validation of non-hidden entries are
+unchanged. Hidden entries still count toward the directory entry limit.
+
+## Upgrade
+
+No special upgrade action or configuration migration is required. See the
+[credential configuration reference](../config.md) for secrets-directory usage.

+# Narratio v2.2.0
+
+This release adds resumable per-speaker transcription, replayable WhisperX
+uploads, and explicit Notarius configuration profile selection.
+
+## Summary
+
+Successfully checkpointed speaker transcripts survive later transcription
+failures. Ordinary retry reuses valid completed speakers and processes only the
+remaining work. WhisperX uploads can now be replayed by the HTTP transport
+without buffering whole audio files.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+Existing CLI commands, speaker identities, transcript formats, and pipeline
+ordering are unchanged. Session manifests gain optional per-speaker completion
+evidence. Older manifests remain readable, but older Narratio binaries may
+reject manifests containing the new fields; downgrading after transcription
+is not transparent.
+
+The optional `pipeline.notarius.config_profile` field selects a downstream
+Notarius configuration profile independently of Narratio's own profile. Using
+it requires a Notarius version supporting `--config-profile`; v0.7.0 is a known
+supporting version. Omitting the field retains downstream default selection.
+
+## Upgrade
+
+No configuration migration is required. When transcribe is next selected for
+an older aggregate-only manifest, all current speakers are transcribed once
+to establish reusable evidence. Previously unrecorded results from failed runs
+are not automatically imported.
+
+Use ordinary run/resume to retain valid checkpoints. Forcing transcribe resets
+reuse of prior results; an ordinary retry after a failed forced invocation can
+retain replacements already checkpointed by that attempt. See the
+[operations guide](../operations.md) and
+[Notarius profile configuration](../config.md#notarius-configuration-profile).
+
+## Changes
+
+- Persist validated speaker completions independently of aggregate stage status,
+  with serialized saves for concurrent work and input/output integrity checks.
+- Rebuild aggregate transcript references when speakers are removed or those
+  references need repair, without retranscribing otherwise-current speakers.
+- Keep removed and incomplete speaker results out of versioned merge inputs.
+- Permit checkpoint evidence for zero-byte audio when WhisperX accepts it;
+  service rejection still fails normally.
+- Provide fresh streaming multipart bodies for HTTP transport replay while
+  preserving application retries, cancellation, and resource cleanup. This
+  addresses the missing-body-replay limitation, not persistent upstream
+  protocol failures or exactly-once service execution.
+- Pass explicit Notarius configuration profiles through the CLI and include
+  their selection in extraction reuse decisions.

+# Narratio v2.2.1
+
+This maintenance release consolidates checkpoint persistence for transcription
+and analysis without changing their operator-facing behavior.
+
+## Summary
+
+Transcribe and analyze now share one internal operation for preparing isolated
+checkpoint candidates, saving them, and promoting successfully saved progress
+into live state. Each stage retains its own progress model and recovery policy.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+CLI commands, configuration, manifest schemas, artifact formats, and external
+integration contracts are unchanged. Speaker concurrency, artifact selection,
+force behavior, and ordinary resume semantics are preserved. No dependency
+upgrade or new external-tool version requirement is introduced.
+
+## Upgrade
+
+No special upgrade action or configuration migration is required when upgrading
+from v2.2.0. See the [v2.2.0 release notes](v2.2.0.md) when upgrading from an
+earlier version for the original speaker-checkpoint upgrade considerations.

+- Isolate checkpoint collections from live state, including analyze records
+  normalized during a transcription checkpoint save.
+- Preserve transcription's caller-owned locking and failure handling, and

+- Add focused checkpoint integrity tests while retaining stage and application
+  recovery coverage.

+# Narratio v3.0.0
+
+This major release moves Narratio pipeline selection to ConfigKit overlays and
+updates its Audita and Notarius integration contracts. Existing deployments
+must migrate configuration before running affected sessions.
+
+## Compatibility and upgrade
+
+- Replace Narratio's `--profile <name>` with `--overlay <name>` and move selected
+  `profiles/<name>.yml` files to `overlays/<name>.yml` beside the pipeline root.
+  The old flag and selected directory are no longer supported; explicit imports
+  from a directory named `profiles` remain valid. Update `config diff` positional
+  selections accordingly. See [configuration](../config.md#pipeline-imports-and-overlays)
+  and the [CLI reference](../cli.md).
+- Before opening a session manifest containing
+  `effective_config.selected_profile`, back it up and follow the
+  [manifest migration procedure](../operations.md#migrating-manifest-overlay-provenance).
+  Strict decoding rejects the retired field. Preserve the manifest's stage and
+  checkpoint state; this informational rename does not itself require rerunning
+  every stage. Immutable remote snapshots are not edited in place.
+- Deploy an Audita v2 executable and migrate its configuration before running
+  `polish`. Narratio no longer generates an Audita config or accepts the old
+  endpoint, model, concurrency, singular API-key, report, and retention fields.
+  Audita now owns backends, PromptKit profiles, reporting, and debug settings;
+  Narratio accepts optional downstream selectors and forwards only names listed
+  in `pipeline.audita.credentials`. Follow the
+  [Audita migration table](../operations.md#migrating-audita-and-provider-credentials)
+  and [integration contract](../integrations/audita.md).
+- Replace `pipeline.notarius.llm_api_key` with the
+  `pipeline.notarius.credentials` list. Rename
+  `pipeline.notarius.config_profile` to `config_overlay` and move selected
+  downstream Notarius files to its `overlays/` directory. The old fields have
+  no compatibility aliases. A named downstream overlay requires a compatible
+  Notarius executable; v0.8.1 is the tested baseline, while deployments that
+  omit the selector gain no new version requirement. See the
+  [Notarius configuration reference](../config.md#notarius-configuration-overlay)
+  and [integration contract](../integrations/notarius.md).
+
+## Changes
+
+- Narratio and downstream overlay names are independent. Operators can select
+  separate Audita and Notarius overlays from one Narratio overlay without
+  implicit name forwarding. ConfigKit is updated to v0.4.2.
+- Audita's corrected transcript remains the canonical polish output. Available
+  `errors.yml`, `recoveries.yml`, and `report.md` files are retained as bounded
+  diagnostics; missing reports are allowed, and an exit-zero valid transcript
+  succeeds even when reports describe recoverable errors or no corrections.
+- Audita and Notarius credential lists resolve at pipeline load and forward
+  captured values under their exact names, with captured subprocess output and
+  failure diagnostics redacted. Narratio does not discover backend credentials
+  from downstream configuration; operators must list the names those tools need.
+- Repository policy, license/attribution notices, release validation, and the
+  asynchronous artifact-delivery procedure are aligned with the current
+  [release runbook](../release.md). Completed implementation roadmaps have been
+  retired from the candidate source.

+# Narratio v3.1.0
+
+This minor release adds explicit provider-credential forwarding to Scriptorium
+for trim bounds generation and artifact analysis.
+
+## Compatibility and upgrade
+
+Existing pipelines remain valid. An omitted, null, or empty
+`pipeline.scriptorium.credentials` list continues to forward no provider keys.
+When Scriptorium needs a credential, provision its environment variable through
+Narratio's existing environment or secrets-directory mechanism and list the
+exact name in the pipeline, for example:
+
+```yaml
+scriptorium:
+  credentials: [OPENROUTER_API_KEY]
+```
+
+Selected references must resolve to nonempty values when Narratio loads the
+pipeline, even if the current command will not run Scriptorium. A Narratio
+overlay replaces the complete list, and `[]` clears it. After correcting a
+failed trim or analysis invocation, retry normally; successful work need not be
+forced solely because a credential was added or rotated. See
+[Scriptorium credentials](../config.md#scriptorium-credentials) and the
+[401 troubleshooting guide](../troubleshooting.md#scriptorium-returns-http-401-during-trim-or-analyze).
+
+## Changes
+
+- Forward selected, already-resolved credential names and values to Scriptorium
+  for trim, analysis, character-family generation, and render-debug calls.
+  Scriptorium still owns provider and profile selection; Narratio does not add
+  a model-request `--api-key-env` override.
+- Register selected values for captured subprocess-output and failure-diagnostic
+  redaction. Inspection and invocation metadata contain credential names, never
+  their values. This protection does not scan files Scriptorium writes directly.
+- Reuse the credential-forwarding boundary shared with Audita and Notarius.
+  Retire the completed Scriptorium credential-forwarding bug report from the
+  source roadmap; its history remains in Git.

+# Maintained Examples
+
+These files are safe, copyable starting points for Narratio configuration and
+input structure. Replace placeholder identifiers, storage names, integration
+URLs, and paths for the target environment. Field meanings and defaults belong
+in the [configuration reference](../docs/config.md).
+
+## Pipeline Configuration
+
+- [Minimal pipeline](pipeline.minimal.yml): campaign discovery plus the required
+  WhisperX URL.
+- [Production-shaped pipeline](pipeline.production.yml): S3 storage, publish,
+  external tools, and configured Scriptorium artifacts.
+- [Production-base/testing-overlay bundle](production-testing/pipeline.yml):
+  explicit `conf.d` imports, one ordinary artifact per `artifacts/<key>.yml`,
+  one family per `artifact-families/<key>.yml`, and the fixed
+  `overlays/testing.yml` overlay. Production values live in the base. The
+  bundle demonstrates an input-only artifact dependency, two character families
+  sharing the campaign party, and a testing-only disabled artifact. Inspect it
+  offline with:
+
+  ```sh
+  narratio config validate --config examples/production-testing/pipeline.yml --campaign-file examples/campaigns/sample-campaign/campaign.yml
+  narratio config show --config examples/production-testing/pipeline.yml --campaign-file examples/campaigns/sample-campaign/campaign.yml --overlay testing
+  narratio config sources --config examples/production-testing/pipeline.yml --campaign-file examples/campaigns/sample-campaign/campaign.yml --overlay testing
+  narratio config artifacts --config examples/production-testing/pipeline.yml --campaign-file examples/campaigns/sample-campaign/campaign.yml --overlay testing
+  narratio config diff default testing --config examples/production-testing/pipeline.yml --campaign-file examples/campaigns/sample-campaign/campaign.yml
+  ```
+
+  These inspection commands load configuration and resolve explicit credential
+  references, but do not load a session or create runtime state. This bundle is
+  intentionally local-storage and credential-reference free so the walkthrough
+  needs no tools or cloud services.
+- [Full annotated pipeline](pipeline.full.annotated.yml): every implemented
+  pipeline section with explanatory comments.
+- [Extraction subset pipeline](pipeline.extraction-subset.yml): a focused
+  Scriptorium artifact consuming only three declared Notarius lanes.
+
+The existing `internal/config` example test loads and validates each pipeline
+with the sample campaign and a compatible local- or S3-audio session.
+
+## Campaign And Session Configuration
+
+- [Sample campaign](campaigns/sample-campaign/campaign.yml), its
+  [session template](campaigns/sample-campaign/session.template.yml), and its
+  adjacent stable inputs provide a complete campaign directory shape.
+- [Local-audio session](session.local-audio.yml) and
+  [S3-audio session](session.s3-audio.yml) are concrete session files.
+- [Session template](session.template.yml) and the campaign-local equivalent
+  demonstrate the narrow placeholder syntax consumed by `session init`; they
+  are templates, not runtime session files.
+
+## Input Fixtures
+
+- [Speakers](speakers.yml), [autocorrect](autocorrect.yml), and
+  [glossary](glossary.yml) show the standalone input shapes.
+- The sample campaign references its local
+  [speakers](campaigns/sample-campaign/speakers.yml),
+  [autocorrect](campaigns/sample-campaign/autocorrect.yml),
+  [glossary](campaigns/sample-campaign/glossary.yml), and canonical
+  [party](campaigns/sample-campaign/party.yml) fixture, plus an optional
+  [spell-catalog overlay](campaigns/sample-campaign/spell_catalog.json) that
+  follows the Notarius v0.7 contract. Narratio derives the players projection
+  from this party source.
+- [Sample speaker audio](audio/sample-speaker.flac) is a text placeholder that
+  reserves the expected filename and directory shape. Replace it with a real
+  FLAC file before running transcription.
+
+The examples contain environment-variable names but no credential values. Set
+`OBJECT_STORAGE_KEY_ID`, `OBJECT_STORAGE_KEY`, `AUDITA_LLM_API_KEY`, and
+`NOTARIUS_LLM_API_KEY` to nonempty synthetic or real values before loading the
+examples that reference them. They use fictional campaign content and reserved
+example domains. The Audita and Notarius names are example references, not
+implicit aliases: external backend/profile configurations must use those exact
+names, or the Narratio credential lists must be changed to match. See the
+[Audita v2 migration guide](https://gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/audita/src/tag/v2.0.0/docs/migrations/v2.md)
+for maintained downstream configuration examples.
+
+For a deployed bundle, keep credential files out of source control in a
+`secrets/` directory beside the root `pipeline.yml`, one file per referenced
+environment-variable name, or select another directory with `--secrets-dir`.
+Static S3 credentials are optional: omit both S3 credential references to use
+the AWS SDK discovery chain.
