+version is the authority marker: version 1 with no entries is a valid evaluated
+empty set, while an absent version is legacy aggregate-only state and provides

+
+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+- `stale`: the recorded semantic identity is no longer current;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.
+
+The session-stage collection is the reconciled authority across invocations.
+The corresponding collection on an invocation's `analyze` stage record is an
+audit of only the artifacts evaluated or attempted by that run. These records
+remain analyze-owned data inside the fixed stage; they are not dynamic stages
+or generic subtasks.
+
+The stage result contract has one analyze-specific projection boundary. On
+success, the runner validates and deep-copies the complete reconciled session
+collection and the invocation subset. Aggregate session outputs are rebuilt in
+configured-key order from current session records only; invocation outputs are
+limited to current records produced by that invocation's run ID. Ordinary
+stage outputs cannot accompany this projection, so there is one source of
+artifact authority.
+
+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 projection.
+
+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;
+the successful projection then restores the aggregate status.
+
+Analyze may return a projection together with an error. That restricted result
+cannot carry ordinary outputs, skip state, aggregate logs, generated configs,
+or metadata. The runner persists only the validated per-artifact collections,
+then marks the aggregate analyze and run state failed and invalidates delivery
+dependents conservatively. Unrelated current records survive because the

+  run-local output passed validation and canonical materialization. They remain

 ## 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 records.
+- 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.

+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

+
+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,

-# Notarius v0.6 CLI References Implementation Plan
-
-## Purpose And Status
-
-This is the executable implementation plan for the accepted target state in
-[Notarius v0.6 CLI Reference Integration](notarius-v0.6-cli-references.md). It
-is written for a `gpt-5.6-terra` coding agent that will implement exactly one
-pending stage per prompt, in order.
-
-The feature roadmap owns user intent, architectural boundaries, settled policy,
-and the target end state. This document owns delivery order, concrete changes,
-test allocation, and implementation status. Do not restate or change a roadmap
-decision here during implementation; if current Notarius v0.6.0 evidence
-contradicts the roadmap, stop and record the conflict instead of inventing a
-different contract.

-| ---: | --- | --- |
-| 1 | Add the reference-selector and configuration vocabulary, including optional spell-catalog inputs. | Completed |
-| 2 | Materialize and inventory the optional spell catalog through the prepare and operator lifecycle. | Completed |
-| 3 | Centralize manifest-authoritative prepared-input resolution and migrate analyze to it. | Completed |
-| 4 | Add deterministic Notarius v0.6 reference arguments at the subprocess adapter boundary. | Completed |
-| 5 | Resolve references in extract and bind fingerprints, resume, and metadata to their identities. | Completed |
-| 6 | Prove assembled extraction lifecycle and downstream invalidation behavior. | Completed |
-| 7 | Update canonical documentation and maintained examples for the completed feature. | Completed |
-| 8 | Perform compatibility, quality, and repository-wide closure validation. | Completed |
-
-## Governing Decisions
-
-The following requirements are settled and are not questions for the
-implementing agent:
-
-1. `pipeline.notarius.references` is a map whose key is a Notarius v0.6 CLI
-   reference selector and whose value is a prepared Narratio source ID. It is
-   not a map of paths.
-2. Every configured binding is required. There is no per-entry `required`
-   field. An optional Notarius reference is omitted by omitting the map entry.
-   An empty or omitted map remains valid for custom pipelines and backward
-   compatibility.
-   The map is limited by the centrally declared configuration constant
-   `MaxNotariusReferenceBindings = 256`, which is far above the four-entry
-   maintained D&D case while bounding argv and manifest growth.
-3. The supported prepared reference sources are
-   `narratio.input.party`, `narratio.input.players`,
-   `narratio.input.glossary`, and `narratio.input.spell_catalog`.
-   Arbitrary Notarius slot names and qualified selectors may bind those sources;
-   direct paths and later-stage artifacts may not.
-4. Campaign and session `spell_catalog_file` are optional. A session value
-   overrides the campaign value; an empty session value inherits the campaign
-   value. A `narratio.input.spell_catalog` reference binding requires an
-   effective configured file.
-5. Prepared sources are authoritative only when the current session manifest
-   records the matching canonical input and checksum. Consumers do not fall
-   back to campaign/session source paths or accept an incidental workspace file.
-6. Narratio passes absolute prepared-file paths to Notarius. Fingerprints and
-   metadata use the canonical workspace-relative path identity together with
-   selector, source ID, SHA-256 checksum, and size so workspace relocation does
-   not become the only identity signal.
-7. External CLI references are sorted by normalized selector. They override
-   matching external references in the Notarius configuration. Narratio never
-   emits `--without-reference`, the deprecated `roster` alias, or CLI bindings
-   for generated D&D artifact handoffs.
-8. Notarius remains authoritative for whether a selected target declares a
-   slot, accepted reference media types and sizes, generated-handoff collisions,
-   pipeline topology, and D&D payload schemas. Narratio validates selector
-   structure and its own source contract only.
-9. Notarius v0.6.0 is the minimum supported CLI contract when references are
-   configured. Do not add version-string parsing or an automatic per-session
-   `notarius config validate` subprocess.
-10. The existing receipt-v2, bundle-confinement, diagnostic, ten-lane selection,
-    immutable promotion, and analysis-source behavior must remain intact.
-11. The default test suite remains offline, deterministic, and independent of
-    a sibling checkout or installed Notarius binary. A real v0.6.0 smoke run is
-    useful supplementary evidence when locally available, not a default-suite
-    dependency.
-12. Add no external Go dependency for this feature. Use narrow owner-specific
-    types and existing file, path, artifact, manifest, adapter, and stage
-    facilities.
-
-## Instructions For Every Stage
-
-For each implementation prompt, the coding agent must:
-
-1. Read `docs/development.md`, all three files under `docs/policy/`, the feature
-   roadmap, this plan, and the stage-specific documents and source named below.
-   Inspect the current tree because earlier stages may have changed names or
-   ownership boundaries.
-2. Use the repository knowledge graph first for code discovery and call tracing;
-   use text search for documentation, configuration, examples, string literals,
-   and evidence the graph cannot supply.
-3. Confirm the worktree state and preserve unrelated changes. Implement only the
-   current stage. Do not begin a later stage merely because an adjacent file is
-   open.
-4. Keep production code, focused tests, fakes, and fixtures consistent within
-   the stage. Remove superseded helpers when their final caller migrates. Do not
-   retain two competing source maps, path resolvers, fingerprint paths, or
-   subprocess argument builders.
-5. Follow the testing policy's ownership rule. Parser/config tests own selector
-   and configuration cases; artifact tests own prepared-file identity and
-   integrity; adapter tests own exact arguments; stage tests own orchestration and
-   resume; application tests own lifecycle invalidation. Do not repeat every
-   lower-level case at higher levels.
-6. Keep errors actionable and content-free. They may identify a selector,
-   Narratio source ID, canonical path, or checksum mismatch, but must not include
-   reference contents. Preserve ordinary group-workspace permissions and
-   restrictive API-key handling.
-7. Run `gofmt` on changed Go files and focused tests while iterating. Before
-   marking any stage complete, run at minimum:
-
-   ```sh
-   go test ./...
-   go test -race ./...
-   go vet ./...
-   go build ./...
-   go test ./internal/doccheck
-   go test ./internal/config -run '^TestExamplesLoadAndValidate$'
-   ```
-
-   Default tests must not contact live services or require credentials.
-8. Compare the final diff against the stage goal and exit criteria. Update only
-   the current stage's status row from `Pending` to `Completed`. Do not mark a
-   stage complete while a required check fails or required behavior is absent.
-   Intermediate commits are implementation-branch state and must not be released
-   before Stage 7 has reconciled current-behavior documentation.

-## Stage 1 — Reference And Configuration Vocabulary
-
-**Read first:** `docs/config.md`, `docs/integrations/notarius.md`,
-`internal/config/config.go`, `internal/config/defaults.go`,
-`internal/config/load.go`, `internal/config/validate.go`,
-`internal/config/notarius_test.go`, `internal/config/campaign_config_test.go`,
-and `internal/artifactpolicy/policy.go` and its tests. Read the tagged Notarius
-v0.6.0 `docs/cli.md` reference-selector section from `../notarius` when that
-checkout is available; otherwise use the canonical link from the feature
-roadmap.
-
-**Depends on:** None.
-
-**Goal:** Establish one normalized reference-selector grammar and the strict
-configuration model needed by later stages, without adding path-valued Notarius
-configuration or making spell catalogs mandatory for every campaign.
-
-**Work:**
-
-- Add a small dependency-free `internal/notariusref` package as the contract
-  owner for Notarius reference selector normalization. Its exported normalizer
-  must trim the selector and each component, reject empty components and `=`,
-  and accept only the v0.6 forms `slot`,
-  `chunk.slot`, `lane.slot`, `lane.extract.slot`, `lane.merge.slot`, and
-  `lane.normalize.slot`. A three-component selector accepts only `extract`,
-  `merge`, or `normalize` in its middle component. Do not check the selector
-  against a Notarius module or lane registry.
-- Add `References map[string]string` with YAML key `references` to
-  `config.NotariusConfig`. During enabled Notarius validation, sort raw keys,
-  normalize each selector through the shared contract, trim each source value,
-  reject empty values and normalized-selector collisions, require each value to
-  be one of the four prepared reference sources, and replace the config map with
-  its normalized form. Enforce the named, centrally discoverable
-  `config.MaxNotariusReferenceBindings` limit of 256 entries with an error that
-  identifies the field and limit. Keep a nil/empty map valid. Rely on strict YAML
-  decoding to reject duplicate identical keys, but explicitly reject distinct
-  raw keys that normalize to one selector.
-- Add `SpellCatalogFile string` with YAML key `spell_catalog_file` to campaign
-  inputs and session inputs, plus `SpellCatalogFile ResolvedInputFile` to
-  resolved stable inputs. Merge it with the existing session-over-campaign
-  helper. It is not part of the campaign-required input set. Reject a non-empty
-  configured scalar that becomes empty after trimming.
-- Add `artifactpolicy.SourceInputSpellCatalog` and make the artifact-policy
-  owner describe all four prepared reference sources, including their canonical
-  manifest kind and filename. Use that owner for stable-source recognition
-  instead of adding a second switch in configuration validation. Preserve the
-  existing three source IDs and their behavior.
-- Extend cross-configuration validation so a normalized reference to
-  `narratio.input.spell_catalog` requires a non-empty effective resolved
-  `spell_catalog_file`. Existing campaign requirements already guarantee party,
-  players, and glossary declarations. Do not check filesystem existence during
-  configuration validation.
-- If analyze's current private filename switch must change to keep the tree
-  behaviorally coherent, make it delegate to the artifact-policy descriptor and
-  recognize spell catalog; Stage 3 will replace the filesystem-only resolver.
-
-**Tests and exit criteria:** At the contract/config owners, cover every accepted
-selector shape; zero, empty, excess, invalid-stage, and `=` forms; whitespace
-normalization; normalized collisions; unsupported and empty source IDs; nil and
-empty maps; exactly the configured binding limit and limit plus one; strict
-unknown fields; campaign inheritance and session override; optional omission;
-and the cross-config missing-spell-catalog failure. Prefer table-driven parser
-and validator tests over assertions against private helper structure. Existing
-configuration and example tests must still pass without adding spell catalogs
-to every campaign. The codebase has one selector grammar owner and one
-prepared-source descriptor owner.
-
-## Stage 2 — Spell Catalog Prepare And Operator Lifecycle
-
-**Read first:** `docs/internal/stage-prepare.md`, `docs/internal/workspace.md`,
-`docs/operations.md`, `internal/stage/prepare.go` and its tests,
-`internal/app/operator_inspection.go`, `internal/app/operator_findings.go` and
-their focused tests, `internal/manifest/manifest.go`, and the relevant confined
-file-operation helpers.
-
-**Depends on:** Stage 1.
-
-**Goal:** Make the effective optional spell catalog a normal prepared session
-input with canonical storage, checksum/provenance, safe stale-file handling, and
-operator visibility.
-
-**Work:**
-
-- Resolve `StableInputs.SpellCatalogFile` with the same origin-preserving
-  campaign/session behavior as the five existing stable inputs. When configured,
-  require a regular readable source, copy it atomically to
-  `inputs/spell_catalog.json`, preserve ordinary workspace permissions, and add
-  one manifest input record with kind `spell_catalog`, canonical destination,
-  checksum, and `campaign_config` or `session_config` source provenance.
-- Treat the input as optional when no effective path is configured. Do not call
-  the required-input path resolver with an empty value and do not create a
-  manifest record. Remove an obsolete canonical `inputs/spell_catalog.json`
-  without following it when a forced prepare transitions from configured to
-  absent; refuse to recursively remove a directory or other ambiguous object at
-  that exact file path.
-- Include a configured spell catalog in operator inspection and validation
-  findings. Omission is not an error unless Stage 1 cross-configuration policy
-  says the enabled Notarius reference requires it. Reuse the common resolved
-  stable-input enumeration where practical instead of extending parallel
-  hand-written lists in several functions.
-- Adjust input-slice capacity, deterministic ordering, test fixtures, and any
-  manifest assumptions affected by the optional sixth stable file. Do not parse
-  or schema-validate the JSON payload in Narratio; Notarius owns that contract.
-
-**Tests and exit criteria:** Through prepare and operator package behavior, cover
-campaign and session source provenance, canonical destination bytes and
-checksum, optional omission, missing configured source, replacement after source
-change, safe removal when configuration is removed, rejection of an ambiguous
-destination object, deterministic manifest ordering, and operator reporting.
-Do not duplicate selector-validation cases from Stage 1. Existing sessions with
-no spell catalog remain valid and produce no stale manifest entry.
-
-## Stage 3 — Manifest-Authoritative Prepared Input Resolution
-
-**Read first:** `docs/internal/artifacts.md`, `docs/internal/manifest.md`,
-`docs/internal/stage-analyze.md`, `internal/artifacts/artifact_resolver.go`,
-`internal/artifacts/resolve.go`, `internal/artifacts/checksum.go`, their tests,
-and the prepared stable-input resolution path in `internal/stage/analyze.go` and
-`internal/stage/analyze_test.go`.
-
-**Depends on:** Stage 2.
-
-**Goal:** Give analyze and extract one integrity-checked resolver for prepared
-stable sources so neither stage trusts incidental files or reconstructs its own
-source-to-filename table.
-
-**Work:**
-
-- Add an artifacts-owned `PreparedInputIdentity` contract containing source ID,
-  manifest kind, absolute canonical path, slash-separated path relative to the
-  session root, SHA-256 checksum, and byte size. Add one resolver that accepts
-  session paths, the current session manifest, and a stable source ID. Provide a
-  typed or sentinel absence classification so callers can distinguish no current
-  manifest record from corrupt or unsafe recorded evidence.
-- Derive kind and filename exclusively from the artifact-policy descriptor. The
-  resolver must require exactly one current manifest input record with the
-  expected kind and canonical path; resolve/rebase recorded local paths through
-  existing session-local path safety helpers; require the result to equal the
-  canonical file below `inputs/`; reject escapes, symlinks, non-regular files,
-  empty files, missing checksums, duplicate records, and checksum mismatches; and
-  calculate size without loading the complete file into memory. Do not fall back
-  to the configured campaign/session path or accept canonical file presence
-  without manifest evidence. Zero matching manifest records is the typed absent
-  case; once a record exists, a missing or invalid file is an integrity error,
-  not optional absence.
-- Return owner-neutral errors from `internal/artifacts`. At stage boundaries,
-  wrap unavailable or stale prepared inputs with the source ID and actionable
-  `narratio run-stage prepare <session_id> --force` guidance. Do not include file
-  contents.
-- Replace analyze's private prepared-source filename switch and filesystem-only
-  resolver with the shared artifact resolver. Preserve required-versus-optional
-  Scriptorium input behavior: a typed absent optional source is omitted, an
-  absent required source fails with prepare guidance, and invalid recorded
-  evidence fails regardless of optionality. Make `narratio.input.spell_catalog`
-  usable wherever another prepared Scriptorium source is accepted.
-
-**Tests and exit criteria:** Artifact-package tests own valid resolution and the
-missing-record, duplicate-record, wrong-kind/path, traversal/rebase, symlink,
-non-regular, empty, missing-checksum, and checksum-mismatch boundaries. Analyze
-tests need only prove required/optional stage behavior and successful use of the
-shared source, including spell catalog; do not repeat the artifact resolver's

-
-## Stage 4 — Notarius Adapter Reference Arguments
-
-**Read first:** `docs/internal/adapters.md`, `docs/integrations/notarius.md`,
-`internal/adapters/notarius/runner.go`, `fake.go`, `subprocess.go`, and focused
-adapter tests. Re-read the Notarius v0.6.0 subprocess and CLI reference-selector
-contracts from the tagged sibling checkout when available.
-
-**Depends on:** Stage 1.
-
-**Goal:** Extend the transport-neutral Notarius request and production adapter
-to emit safe, exact, repeatable v0.6 `--reference` arguments without changing
-receipt or bundle ingestion.
-
-**Work:**
-
-- Add a transport-neutral reference binding containing normalized selector and
-  absolute path, and add an ordered slice of those bindings to `RunRequest`.
-  Keep source IDs and manifest identities out of the adapter contract; those are
-  stage policy.
-- Validate each adapter binding before process launch: normalize/validate the
-  selector through the shared Stage 1 contract, require a non-empty absolute
-  path, reject duplicate normalized selectors, and avoid mutating the caller's
-  slice. Do not open or parse the reference file in the adapter.
-- Build arguments as repeated pairs `--reference`,
-  `<normalized-selector>=<absolute-path>` after `--output-dir` and before
-  `--json`. Preserve one argument for the combined selector/path value so spaces,
-  additional `=` characters within the path portion, and platform separators do
-  not involve shell interpretation. The request order is authoritative; Stage 5
-  will supply sorted bindings.
-- Preserve current executable, environment, timeout, cancellation, diagnostic,
-  receipt-v2, bounded-read, confinement, and bundle-discovery behavior. Do not
-  add `--without-reference`, generated reference arguments, version probing, or
-  configuration preflight.
-- Update the fake only as required to retain and expose the extended request.
-
-**Tests and exit criteria:** Adapter tests own exact argv with zero and multiple
-references, position before `--json`, spaces and `=` in paths, selector
-normalization, duplicate/invalid selector rejection, relative/empty path
-rejection, and no subprocess start after request-validation failure. Existing
-receipt-v2 and bundle fixture tests must remain unchanged in meaning and pass.
-Do not assert stage-level source sorting here beyond preserving the request
-order.
-
-## Stage 5 — Extract Reference Identity, Invocation, And Resume
-
-**Read first:** `docs/internal/stage-extract.md`,
-`docs/integrations/notarius.md`, `docs/internal/manifest.md`,
-`internal/stage/extract.go`, `internal/stage/extract_resume.go`, their focused
-tests, the Stage 3 prepared-input identity contract, and the Stage 4 Notarius
-request contract.
-
-**Depends on:** Stages 3 and 4.
-
-**Goal:** Make configured references part of the actual extraction invocation
-and durable reuse contract, using one resolution path for initial execution and
-resume validation.
-
-**Work:**
-
-- Add one extract-owned reference-resolution helper used by both `Run` and
-  `ValidateResume`. Iterate normalized config bindings in lexical selector
-  order, resolve each source through the Stage 3 manifest-authoritative resolver,
-  and produce both adapter bindings and immutable reference identities. Resolve
-  every reference before creating run-local receipt, log, output, or promotion
-  directories and before invoking the adapter.
-- Define the fingerprint/metadata identity as normalized selector, source ID,
-  canonical session-relative slash path, SHA-256 checksum, and byte size. Do not
-  include contents or original campaign/session absolute paths. Pass only
-  selector and absolute prepared path to the adapter.
-- Extend the extraction fingerprint document with the sorted reference
-  identities. Keep all existing binary, config path, pipeline, timeout, working
-  directory, trimmed-transcript identity, and required-output identities. The
-  result must be independent of YAML map iteration order and must change for a
-  selector, source, relative path, checksum, or size change.
-- Persist `reference_count` and a bounded deterministic `references` metadata
-  list on successful extraction. Each entry contains exactly `selector`,
-  `source_id`, `path`, `checksum`, and `size_bytes`. Empty bindings produce count
-  zero and an empty list. Do not duplicate Notarius reference payloads or
-  downstream error messages.
-- Make resume recompute current reference identities through the same helper
-  before comparing the configuration fingerprint. A valid changed prepared
-  input yields a fingerprint mismatch and a non-resumable result so extraction
-  reruns. Missing, unsafe, or checksum-inconsistent current input is an error
-  with prepare-force guidance because immediately rerunning extract cannot
-  succeed. Do not silently reuse the old bundle.
-- Preserve explicit disabled-stage skip without resolving references. Preserve
-  required lane selection, immutable promotion, receipt identity, and bundle
-  evidence behavior.
-
-**Tests and exit criteria:** Stage tests own sorted request construction for all
-four D&D bindings, zero bindings, failure before adapter invocation for an
-unavailable source, content-free metadata, and fingerprint changes for each
-identity field while remaining stable across map order. Resume tests must prove
-reuse with unchanged references, non-reuse after a valid prepared-reference
-change, hard failure for missing or checksum-invalid current evidence, and no
-reference resolution when disabled. Use the fake adapter; do not duplicate exact
-subprocess argv cases from Stage 4.
-
-## Stage 6 — Assembled Lifecycle And Invalidation Coverage
-
-**Read first:** `docs/internal/overview.md`, `docs/internal/manifest.md`,
-`docs/internal/stage-extract.md`, `docs/internal/stage-prepare.md`,
-`internal/app/runner.go`,
-`internal/app/extract_lifecycle_test.go`, and representative full pipeline and
-stage fixtures. Inspect existing downstream invalidation tests before adding
-new cases.
-
-**Depends on:** Stage 5.
-
-**Goal:** Prove at the application boundary that prepared campaign context
-reaches Notarius and that reference changes cannot leave extraction or later
-analysis falsely current.
-
-**Work:**
-
-- Extend the smallest existing assembled runner fixture to execute prepare and
-  extract with party, players, glossary, and spell catalog bindings. Assert that
-  the fake Notarius request receives the four canonical prepared absolute paths,
-  not the original campaign/session source paths, and that the successful
-  manifest records bounded reference identity.
-- Add one lifecycle regression covering a valid reference-content change:
-  rerun/force prepare so the manifest and prepared checksum change, then verify
-  extract resume is rejected, Notarius runs again, and succeeded canonical
-  downstream stages are invalidated according to the existing stage-order
-  policy. Assert outcomes, not private runner call choreography.
-- Add one representative session override case to prove the overridden prepared
-  bytes/checksum reach extraction. Do not repeat all four configuration merge
-  cases or artifact-integrity failures already owned by earlier stages.
-- Confirm an empty reference map preserves the pre-v0.6 invocation behavior and
-  that all ten configured D&D lanes remain registered as the same
-  `narratio.extraction.<key>` sources available to analyze.
-- Fix production integration defects exposed by these assembled tests without
-  broadening the feature or adding a DAG, generic reference workflow, or direct
-  Notarius payload parsing.
-
-**Tests and exit criteria:** The application-level tests must be deterministic,
-offline, and fake only the external Notarius boundary. They must credibly fail
-if Narratio passes original paths, omits one configured reference, reuses stale
-extraction, or loses a configured lane, while remaining insensitive to private
-helper structure and exact non-contractual diagnostics. Earlier focused suites
-and the repository baseline remain green.
-
-## Stage 7 — Canonical Documentation And Maintained Examples
-
-**Read first:** `docs/policy/documentation.md`, `docs/config.md`,
-`docs/operations.md`, `docs/troubleshooting.md`,
-`docs/integrations/notarius.md`, `docs/internal/overview.md`,
-`docs/internal/adapters.md`, `docs/internal/artifacts.md`,
-`docs/internal/stage-prepare.md`, `docs/internal/stage-extract.md`,
-`docs/internal/stage-analyze.md`, `examples/README.md`, and all maintained
-pipeline, campaign, and session examples affected by the new fields.
-
-**Depends on:** Stage 6.
-
-**Goal:** Move the completed behavior from roadmap-only future state into its
-canonical current-behavior owners and provide valid copyable D&D examples
-without duplicating volatile Notarius contracts.
-
-**Work:**
-
-- Update `docs/config.md` with `pipeline.notarius.references`, its selector-to-
-  source shape, normalization/validation rules, required-by-presence behavior,
-  supported stable source IDs, and campaign/session `spell_catalog_file`
-  precedence and optionality. Keep complete copyable YAML in `examples/`.
-- Update `docs/integrations/notarius.md` to the v0.6.0 baseline and exact
-  repeatable-reference invocation boundary. Explain absolute CLI paths,
-  precedence over configured external paths, the four maintained external D&D
-  slots, the generated-handoff exclusion, and unchanged receipt-v2/ten-lane
-  output compatibility. Link to Notarius's canonical v0.6 CLI and D&D consumer
-  docs instead of copying its target/module matrix.
-- Update operations and troubleshooting with prepared input location,
-  fingerprint/rerun consequences, operator inspection, missing-reference
-  diagnosis, and Notarius undeclared-slot/generated-collision failures. Update
-  internal component documents only with implemented ownership and flow; do not
-  duplicate configuration field definitions there.
-- Add a valid, secret-free sample spell catalog following Notarius v0.6's
-  published overlay schema, add `spell_catalog_file` to the sample campaign, and
-  configure all four external reference bindings in the complete annotated D&D
-  pipeline. Add the same bindings to other Notarius-enabled maintained examples
-  only when their selected pipeline declares them; do not add a Notarius section
-  to examples that intentionally omit extraction.
-- Ensure the maintained command snippets place repeated `--reference` arguments
-  before `--json`, use `party` rather than `roster`, and never show generated
-  handoffs on the CLI. Remove stale v0.5 compatibility wording where it refers to
-  the supported invocation baseline.
-
-**Tests and exit criteria:** Run documentation-link checks and the example
-loader explicitly. Verify every changed example is accepted by strict config
-validation, contains no credentials or private infrastructure values, and has
-one canonical owner for each volatile fact. Search current-behavior docs and
-examples for stale v0.5 invocation wording, deprecated `roster` emission, and
-generated D&D CLI handoff examples. Do not mark the roadmap itself implemented;
-its status remains target-state context until the implementation sprint is
-reviewed and closed.
-
-## Stage 8 — Compatibility And Quality Closure
-
-**Read first:** The feature roadmap, every completed stage diff, the final
-current-behavior docs, `.woodpecker/verify.yml`, `.woodpecker/release.yml`, and
-`.woodpecker/shuffle.yml`. Re-read the tagged Notarius v0.6.0
-`docs/consumers/dnd-pipeline.md`, `docs/cli.md`, and linked spell-catalog overlay
-contract when the sibling checkout is available.
-
-**Depends on:** Stage 7.
-
-**Goal:** Verify the delivered code matches the accepted boundary, remains
-compatible with all ten default D&D artifacts, and is ready for review without
-dead compatibility paths or duplicated policy.
-
-**Work:**
-
-- Audit the final diff against every target-state and out-of-scope statement in
-  the feature roadmap. Confirm only four external prepared sources are exposed,
-  custom selectors remain possible, every configured binding is required, and
-  no Notarius pipeline topology or generated-handoff logic moved into Narratio.
-- Trace initial extract and resume paths to confirm both use the same prepared
-  identity and reference resolution, the adapter is the sole argv builder, and
-  artifact policy is the sole source-to-kind/filename vocabulary. Remove dead
-  helpers, redundant switches, stale fixtures, and low-value duplicate tests
-  found during this review.
-- Confirm the complete D&D example still declares and validates the exact ten
-  output lanes and that analyze can consume those sources after reference-
-  enabled extraction. Confirm empty-reference custom pipelines remain supported.
-- If a local Notarius v0.6.0 binary and its required offline/test configuration
-  are already available, perform a non-credentialed smoke invocation with all
-  four reference flags and record the result in the implementation handoff. Do
-  not download tools, contact paid providers, add a default test dependency, or
-  block completion solely because this supplementary environment is absent.
-- Run the repository baseline plus the scheduled shuffled suite and release
-  cross-build commands:
-
-  ```sh
-  go test ./...
-  go test -race ./...
-  go test -race -shuffle=on -count=3 ./...
-  go vet ./...
-  go build ./...
-  go test ./internal/doccheck
-  go test ./internal/config -run '^TestExamplesLoadAndValidate$'
-  narratio_cross_dir="$(mktemp -d)"
-  CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o "$narratio_cross_dir/narratio-linux-amd64" ./cmd/narratio
-  CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=darwin GOARCH=amd64 go build -o "$narratio_cross_dir/narratio-darwin-amd64" ./cmd/narratio
-  CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -o "$narratio_cross_dir/narratio-windows-amd64.exe" ./cmd/narratio
-  ```
-
-  Cross-builds are compilation evidence only; do not claim native macOS or
-  Windows runtime validation.
-
-**Tests and exit criteria:** Every required command passes, `git diff --check`
-is clean, the worktree contains no unintended generated test artifacts, and the
-implementation is traceably complete against the roadmap. Summarize any
-unavailable supplementary smoke evidence without treating it as a product
-question or silently weakening the default suite.

-None. The feature roadmap and governing decisions above are sufficient to
-implement the plan without additional product or architecture choices.

-# Notarius v0.6 CLI Reference Integration
-
-## Status
-
-Accepted target state. Delivery sequencing and implementation status are owned
-by [implementation.md](implementation.md).
-
-## Purpose
-
-Upgrade Narratio's extraction boundary to the Notarius v0.6.0 subprocess
-contract and supply session reference documents explicitly with repeatable
-`--reference selector=path` arguments.
-
-The maintained D&D integration must make the prepared party roster, player
-context, glossary, and optional spell catalog available to every compatible
-Notarius target. Notarius must continue to own pipeline topology, reference-slot
-compatibility, generated artifact handoffs, prompts, and D&D schemas. Narratio
-owns selection and preparation of its external reference files, exact CLI
-invocation, provenance, and extraction reuse correctness.
-
-## Current State And Gap
-
-Narratio currently invokes Notarius as:
-
-```text
-notarius run <pipeline_id> --config <config_path> --input <transcript> --output-dir <staging_dir> --json
-```
-
-The `prepare` stage already materializes campaign/session party, players, and
-glossary files under the session `inputs/` directory, but `extract` does not
-pass them to Notarius. Narratio also has no stable spell-catalog input. As a
-result, a Notarius deployment must duplicate these paths in its own
-configuration, cannot reliably receive session overrides, and may extract
-without the same campaign context supplied to Narratio's analysis stage.
-
-Notarius v0.6.0 makes an unqualified CLI selector pipeline-scoped. For example,
-`--reference party=/absolute/path/party.yml` supplies the file to every
-selected target that declares `party`. Scoped selectors remain available for
-exceptional overrides. CLI paths are resolved from the Notarius process working
-directory, so subprocess callers are expected to provide absolute paths.
-
-The v0.6.0 receipt, index, warning, diagnostic, and ten-lane D&D artifact
-contracts remain compatible with Narratio's current v0.5 integration. This
-feature changes the invocation and input-provenance contract rather than the
-accepted output inventory.
-
-## User Outcome
-
-With the maintained complete D&D configuration, an operator can declare the
-campaign reference sources once in Narratio. For each extraction Narratio will:
-
-1. materialize the effective campaign/session files during `prepare`;
-2. resolve those prepared files by stable Narratio source ID;
-3. pass absolute paths for `party`, `players`, `glossary`, and, when configured,
-   `spell_catalog` to Notarius through repeatable CLI arguments;
-4. fail before launching Notarius when a configured reference is unavailable;
-5. rerun extraction when a selector, source binding, or reference file changes;
-   and
-6. retain bounded reference identities and checksums for diagnosis and
-   provenance without copying reference contents into manifest metadata.
-
-Session-level stable-input overrides must flow through the same mechanism. A
-custom Notarius pipeline may bind different external slots without requiring a
-Narratio code change.
-
-## Chosen Architecture
-
-### Explicit Reference Bindings
-
-Extend `pipeline.notarius` with an explicit map from a Notarius CLI selector to
-a prepared Narratio input source:
-
-```yaml
-notarius:
-  enabled: true
-  binary: notarius
-  config_path: /usr/local/etc/notarius/config.yml
-  pipeline_id: dnd-session
-  working_directory: /usr/local/etc/notarius
-  references:
-    party: narratio.input.party
-    players: narratio.input.players
-    glossary: narratio.input.glossary
-    spell_catalog: narratio.input.spell_catalog
-  outputs:
-    # Existing required lane contracts remain unchanged.
-```
-
-Each configured binding is required. An operator who does not maintain an
-optional Notarius reference, such as a spell catalog, omits that binding. This
-keeps missing-input behavior explicit and avoids a second required/optional
-policy inside each entry.
-
-The maintained complete D&D example will show all four external reference
-slots. The three existing campaign context bindings use the canonical `party`,
-`players`, and `glossary` spellings. Narratio will not emit the deprecated
-`roster` alias.
-
-The binding is deliberately source-based rather than path-based. Pipeline
-configuration should not reconstruct session workspace paths or bypass
-`prepare`; it names the stable input whose effective campaign/session value is
-already owned by Narratio. The map also avoids hard-coded behavior keyed to the
-literal `dnd-session` pipeline ID, preserving custom-pipeline support.
-
-Narratio accepts the selector forms published by Notarius v0.6.0:
-
-- `slot`;
-- `chunk.slot`;
-- `lane.slot`; and
-- `lane.extract.slot`, `lane.merge.slot`, or `lane.normalize.slot`.
-
-Configuration validation will reject empty or structurally invalid selectors,
-selectors containing `=`, unsupported source IDs, and duplicate YAML keys.
-Notarius remains authoritative for whether a selected target actually declares
-the slot and whether a file satisfies that slot's media type and size contract.
-Narratio will not duplicate the Notarius module registry.
-
-### Stable Reference Inputs
-
-Continue to use the existing prepared sources and canonical files:
-
-| Narratio source | Prepared file | Notarius slot |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| `narratio.input.party` | `inputs/party.yml` | `party` |
-| `narratio.input.players` | `inputs/players.yml` | `players` |
-| `narratio.input.glossary` | `inputs/glossary.yml` | `glossary` |
-| `narratio.input.spell_catalog` | `inputs/spell_catalog.json` | `spell_catalog` |
-
-Add optional `spell_catalog_file` fields to campaign and session inputs, with
-the existing campaign-default/session-override resolution behavior. When
-provided, `prepare` copies it into the session input area and records its
-origin and checksum consistently with the other stable inputs. The prepared
-filename remains JSON so Notarius can apply its published spell-catalog media
-contract.
-
-The new source must be added everywhere stable inputs are enumerated: strict
-configuration decoding and merging, validation, prepare materialization,
-artifact policy/source descriptions, operator inspection, manifest input
-records, examples, and canonical documentation. It remains optional at the
-campaign level; a configured Notarius binding makes it mandatory for that
-extraction.
-
-Extract and analyze should use one shared prepared-input source resolver rather
-than maintain separate source-to-filename tables. The resolver must return an
-absolute, regular, non-empty file beneath the current session workspace and
-produce actionable `prepare --force` guidance when a configured source is
-missing. It must not fall back to the original campaign path after preparation.
-
-### Adapter Request And CLI Construction
-
-Extend the transport-neutral Notarius run request with an ordered collection of
-resolved reference bindings. Each binding contains only its selector and
-absolute prepared-file path. The extraction stage resolves source IDs and file
-identity; the subprocess adapter validates and serializes the request.
-
-The production command becomes:
-
-```text
-notarius run <pipeline_id>
-  --config <config_path>
-  --input <trimmed_json>
-  --output-dir <staging_dir>
-  --reference party=<absolute_prepared_party_path>
-  --reference players=<absolute_prepared_players_path>
-  --reference glossary=<absolute_prepared_glossary_path>
-  --reference spell_catalog=<absolute_prepared_spell_catalog_path>
-  --json
-```
-
-Only configured bindings are emitted. Selectors are sorted before request
-construction so argument order, tests, logs, and fingerprints are deterministic.
-Arguments are passed directly to the subprocess without shell interpretation;
-paths containing spaces or platform-specific separators remain one argument.
-
-CLI bindings intentionally override matching external paths in the deployed
-Notarius configuration. Narratio must not pass `--without-reference` and must
-not synthesize CLI bindings for `location_registry`, `item_registry`,
-`npc_registry`, `scene_descriptions`, `combat_turns`, or `npc_occurrences`.
-Those are generated same-run artifact handoffs in the complete D&D pipeline and
-remain entirely under Notarius configuration and execution control. A custom
-configuration that collides an external CLI binding with a generated handoff is
-expected to fail with Notarius's normal resolution error.
-
-### Fingerprints, Resume, And Provenance
-
-Reference identity is part of the extraction input contract. The extraction
-fingerprint and resume validator must include, in deterministic selector order:
-
-- the selector;
-- the configured Narratio source ID;
-- the resolved prepared path identity; and
-- the prepared file's content checksum and size.
-
-This is required even though Notarius generates a prompt session ID from the
-input module and transcript bytes: Notarius intentionally does not include
-references in that identifier. Narratio must therefore prevent an old
-extraction from being reused after a roster, player list, glossary, spell
-catalog, selector, or source mapping changes.
-
-A changed reference makes the prior `extract` result non-reusable and follows
-Narratio's normal downstream invalidation rules. A failed reference-resolution
-or checksum check also prevents reuse; it must not silently accept the prior
-bundle.
-
-Successful extract metadata should record a bounded, deterministic list of
-selector, source ID, workspace-relative path, checksum, and size. It must not
-record reference contents, original absolute operator paths, or values from the
-files. Existing receipt and bundle provenance behavior remains unchanged.
-
-### Error And Compatibility Behavior
-
-Narratio's documented minimum supported Notarius version becomes v0.6.0 for an
-enabled reference binding. Compatibility remains contract-based rather than
-dependent on parsing `notarius --version`: an older or incompatible executable
-will fail at the CLI boundary with captured diagnostics.
-
-Errors must identify the responsible selector and Narratio source without
-including file contents. Configuration errors are reported before pipeline
-execution. Missing, empty, non-regular, unsafe, or unreadable prepared files
-fail extraction before the Notarius subprocess starts. Notarius continues to
-report undeclared slots, media incompatibility, size limits, required-slot
-failures, and generated-handoff collisions.
-
-When Notarius is disabled, extraction retains its current explicit skip
-behavior and does not resolve reference inputs. Receipt v2 ingestion, bundle
-confinement, ten-lane selection, and downstream artifact source IDs are not
-otherwise changed by this feature.
-
-## Target End State
-
-Narratio and Notarius have a clear orchestration boundary:
-
-- `prepare` owns the effective, immutable session copies of external campaign
-  context;
-- `extract` maps configured stable source IDs to Notarius v0.6 CLI selectors,
-  supplies absolute file paths, and owns reuse/provenance policy;
-- the Notarius adapter owns exact subprocess serialization and supported result
-  decoding;
-- Notarius owns slot compatibility, reference precedence within its pipeline,
-  generated artifact handoffs, and output schemas; and
-- `analyze` consumes the resulting ten structured lane artifacts exactly as it
-  does today.
-
-The maintained complete D&D workflow passes party, players, glossary, and spell
-catalog context from the same prepared session inputs used elsewhere in
-Narratio. Updating any of those documents deterministically causes fresh
-extraction, and operators can diagnose the effective bindings without exposing
-file contents.
-
-## Out Of Scope
-
-- Reproducing Notarius pipeline, lane, binding, or media-type validation in
-  Narratio.
-- Passing or overriding Notarius generated artifact handoffs.
-- Adding `--without-reference`, Notarius resume/recompute controls, lane
-  selection, model selection, profile selection, or session-ID overrides.
-- Changing the ten accepted D&D lane contracts or the Scriptorium analysis
-  design.
-- Reading reference payloads into Narratio manifests or logs.
-- Automatically running `notarius config validate` for every session.
-
-## Settled Policy Choices
-
-The implementation must preserve these choices unless implementation evidence
-shows a contract conflict:
-
-- explicit selector-to-source mappings are preferred over pipeline-ID-specific
-  defaults;
-- every configured mapping is required;
-- `spell_catalog_file` is optional until a mapping requests its prepared
-  source;
-- the complete D&D example demonstrates all four external references; and
-- Notarius v0.6.0 is the minimum supported CLI contract for reference-enabled
-  extraction.

+- a manifest from an older Narratio version reports aggregate analyze success
+  and the old files are present, but configured artifact sources remain
+  unavailable.
+
+Likely cause:
+
+- the manifest has no supported per-artifact analyze state. Aggregate output
+  lists do not establish current configured-artifact authority.
+
+Safe fix:
+
+- regenerate the required artifacts. A partial selection makes only its
+  targets and prerequisites eligible for current state; unselected legacy
+  files intentionally remain unavailable. Run full analysis later when every
+  enabled configured artifact must become current.
+
+```bash
+narratio analyze 2026-04-04 --artifacts session_recap
+narratio analyze 2026-04-04
+```
+
+After current records exist, inspect them and publish explicitly. Do not delete
+the legacy files merely to influence selection; availability is manifest-owned.
+
+Relevant references: [Operations: Stage Execution and Continuation Behavior](./operations.md#stage-execution-and-continuation-behavior)
+and [Manifest Internals](./internal/manifest.md#analyze-owned-artifact-state).
+
+## Scriptorium private input changed without a rerun
+
+Symptom:
+
+- a prompt, profile, imported configuration file, executable, or other input
+  loaded privately by Scriptorium changed, but Narratio still considers an
+  artifact current.
+
+Likely cause:
+
+- analysis fingerprints cover Narratio-observable semantic identities, not
+  executable contents or arbitrary files and transitive configuration that
+  Scriptorium loads behind its configured paths and identifiers.
+
+Safe fix:
+
+- explicitly force the affected target after changing an unobserved private
+  input. Force applies to explicit targets; current prerequisites remain
+  reusable unless selected themselves.
+
+```bash
+narratio analyze 2026-04-04 --artifacts session_recap
+```
