+# Codebase Knowledge Graph (codebase-memory-mcp)
+
+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

+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.

 # Integration: Audita
 
-## Purpose
-Define the Audita adapter contract used by the `polish` stage.
+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.
 
-## External Boundary
+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.
 
-Narratio invokes `audita process` as a subprocess for each polish operation.
-The configured timeout and parent cancellation bound the invocation. Internal
-runner composition is documented in
-[the adapter implementation guide](../internal/adapters.md).
+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.
 
-## Request Contract
-`PolishRequest` carries:
-- required transcript/glossary/output/work-dir paths;
-- optional report path (required when report mode is enabled);
-- generated config and stdout/stderr log paths;
-- optional per-invocation module override.
+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.
 
-The constructed runner owns static Audita settings: binary, timeout,
-credentials, default modules, model and endpoint settings, validation and output
-settings, report mode, and concurrency. The `polish` stage supplies only
-invocation-specific paths and may override modules for that invocation.
+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.
 
-## Result Contract
-`PolishResult` returns:
-- processed transcript path;
-- optional report path;
-- work dir and generated-config/log paths;
-- exit code, duration, binary provenance;
-- adapter metadata map.
-
-## Validation and Failure Semantics
-Construction fails for invalid static config values, including:
-- empty binary;
-- non-positive timeout;
-- invalid base URL;
-- invalid output schema;
-- invalid work-dir retention value;
-- invalid concurrency values.
-
-Run fails for:
-- missing required request paths;
-- subprocess execution failure;
-- invalid processed transcript JSON (`segments` array required);
-- invalid report JSON when reporting is enabled.
-
-Processed transcript JSON is limited to 64 MiB and optional report JSON to 16
-MiB. Both must be regular files without symlinked path components.
-
-Failure results still include output/log/config/exit metadata for diagnostics.
-
-## Deterministic Behavior
-- CLI args are built from runner config + request in a fixed order.
-- A configured typed `llm_api_key` reference is resolved during pipeline load;
-  the captured value is supplied only as the child's `AUDITA_LLM_API_KEY`
-  override and is never re-read from the parent environment.
-- Generated invocation YAML (`audita.generated.v1`) is emitted when requested.
-- Manifest writes are stage-owned; adapter itself is stateless.

 ```

+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

+## 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

+3. Preserve the schema version, digest, stage records, checkpoint evidence,

+      the copyright owner that is granting the License.
+
+      "Legal Entity" shall mean the union of the acting entity and all

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

+ 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.

+
+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.

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

+                       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.

+
+## 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.

+
+## 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

+# 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.

 ## 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
 
-Testing is not an unqualified good. Every test imposes both an immediate cost and a continuing lifetime cost.
-
-A test must be:
-
-- written and reviewed;
-- understood by future maintainers and coding agents;
-- executed in local and CI workflows;
-- diagnosed when it fails;
-- updated when legitimate behavior changes;
-- maintained as fixtures, APIs, and dependencies evolve; and
-- removed or rewritten when it becomes redundant, brittle, misleading, or obsolete.
-
-Tests also create cognitive and architectural friction. They can constrain refactoring, duplicate policy, slow feedback loops, add noise to failures, and cause harmless implementation changes to require unrelated edits across the suite.
+Every test has an immediate and continuing cost: writing, review, execution,
+diagnosis, fixture maintenance, and updates when legitimate behavior changes.
+Tests can also constrain refactoring, duplicate policy, and add failure noise.
 
 A test is warranted only when the confidence it provides justifies these costs.
-
-Apply this cost-benefit analysis at two levels:
+Evaluate that tradeoff at two levels:
 
 1. **Per test:** What realistic defect does this test detect, how consequential would that defect be, and is that protection worth the test's lifetime cost?
 2. **Across the suite:** Does this collection provide materially more confidence than a smaller, simpler suite would?
 
-The preferred test suite is a **lean suite that provides sufficient confidence in the risks that matter, without redundant or low-value tests**. We seek sufficient confidence with the least unnecessary testing friction, not the fewest possible tests.
+Some friction is intentional. Tests should make dangerous changes—such as breaking compatibility, corrupting data, violating security boundaries, or reintroducing subtle bugs—require deliberate review. Keep ordinary internal changes inexpensive.
 
-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. They should not make ordinary internal changes needlessly expensive.

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.

 ## Definition of sufficient
 
 A test suite is sufficient when:
 
-- important contracts and invariants are protected;
-- meaningful boundaries and failure modes are exercised;
-- realistic and consequential regressions are credibly protected against silent recurrence;
-- behavior involving data integrity, destructive operations, compatibility, security, concurrency, idempotency, and recovery is credibly protected;
-- important external boundaries have realistic integration coverage;
-- representative complete workflows are tested;
-- failures provide useful signal rather than redundant noise;
-- legitimate internal changes usually do not require test edits; and
+- important requested behavior and established contracts are protected against realistic, consequential failures;
+- boundaries and component interactions have coverage where they introduce meaningful risks not protected elsewhere;
+- failures provide useful, distinct signals;
+- tests usually remain stable through legitimate internal changes; and
 - additional tests would mostly repeat existing protection or preserve inconsequential implementation details.
 
-Sufficiency is a risk judgment, not a coverage percentage or test count. Reassess it as the application, its users, and the consequences of failure evolve.
-
-The governing rule is:
-
-> Test heavily where failure is consequential, subtle, or difficult to detect after the fact. Test lightly where failure is obvious, reversible, and inexpensive—and retain no test whose lifetime cost exceeds the confidence it provides.

+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.
 
-It never commits changes, pushes `main`, force-pushes, moves a tag, or pushes
-all tags. A successful push of that exact ref completes the release command;
-the command prints the tag and commit, then returns without waiting for CI,
-querying Gitea, downloading assets, or checking checksums.
+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.
 
-If a failure occurs before the tag is created, correct the candidate on `main`
-and repeat validation. If the push fails after local tag creation, the local tag
-is intentionally retained for inspection and the command must not be retried
-blindly. Once the upstream tag has been pushed, it is immutable. Correct any
-defect or failed asynchronous publication with a new patch version, a new
-release note, and the complete procedure again.
+## Artifact delivery
 
-## Optional asynchronous inspection
+Tag-triggered `.woodpecker/release.yml` independently validates the tagged
+source, builds the same three targets, and publishes these Gitea downloads:
 
-After a successful tag push, a human may later inspect the tag-triggered
-Woodpecker run and the corresponding Gitea release for binaries and checksums.
-This is optional follow-up only. Automated releasers must not wait for, poll,
-or treat CI/Gitea completion as a condition of the successful tag push.

+- `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 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.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Replace duplicate analyze/transcribe save-and-promote sequences with a
+  shared, private checkpoint helper.
+- 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
+  analysis's working/committed collections and rollback behavior.
+- Add focused checkpoint integrity tests while retaining stage and application
+  recovery coverage.
+- Document the shared [checkpoint persistence boundary](../internal/manifest.md#checkpoint-persistence-boundary).

+# 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.

-# Bugfix Request: Preserve Publish Destination Derivation with Explicit Rules
-
-Status: Implemented; release target v2.1.1
-
-## Summary
-
-Narratio should successfully derive a publish destination when a valid
-`publish.outputs` rule omits `dest`, regardless of whether that rule explicitly
-sets `required`. Narratio v2.1.0 currently rejects this valid configuration in
-some cases with a ConfigKit `resolve.unrecorded_change` diagnostic.
-
-This is a configuration-resolution bookkeeping defect, not a YAML formatting
-restriction. The fix should preserve the existing public configuration
-contract: operators may omit a derivable destination and may independently set
-`required` to either `true` or `false`.
-
-## Observed Behavior
-
-A pipeline containing a rule equivalent to the following fails during native
-configuration loading:
-
-```yaml
-publish:
-  outputs: [{"source": "narratio.transcript.final", "required": true}]
-```
-
-Narratio reports:
-
-```text
-error [resolve.unrecorded_change] /publish/outputs: application resolution changed a value without a covering record
-```
-
-The same failure is possible with ordinary block-style YAML when `required` is
-explicit and `dest` is omitted. Flow-style YAML is valid input and is not the
-cause of the defect.
-
-The existing destination-derivation tests do not expose this case because
-their rules also omit `required`. Narratio then supplies the default value for
-`required` and records a change covering the complete `publish.outputs`
-sequence. That broader record happens to cover the destination mutation as
-well, masking the missing resolution record that occurs when `required` is
-already explicit.
-
-## Expected Contract
-
-The current configuration contract remains unchanged:
-
-- `publish.outputs[].source` is required;
-- `publish.outputs[].dest` may be omitted when Narratio can derive it from the
-  selected built-in or configured artifact source;
-- `publish.outputs[].required` defaults to `true`, but an operator may set it
-  explicitly to either `true` or `false`; and
-- equivalent valid YAML representations have equivalent configuration
-  semantics.
-
-For example, both rules below should load and validate, retain their explicit
-requiredness, and receive the canonical derived destination:
-
-```yaml
-publish:
-  outputs:
-    - source: narratio.transcript.final
-      required: true
-    - source: narratio.transcript.final_markdown
-      required: false
-```
-
-## Root Cause
-
-ConfigKit intentionally treats sequences as atomic when comparing values
-before and after application resolution. Changing a field within one
-`publish.outputs` entry is therefore observed as a change to the
-`/publish/outputs` sequence.
-
-Narratio currently derives each missing destination by recording a
-normalization at the individual `publish.outputs[index].dest` path. That child
-record does not cover the atomic parent-sequence change. A separate
-container-level record is currently created only when Narratio also defaults
-an omitted `required` value, so configurations with explicit `required` values
-lose that incidental coverage.
-
-## Recommended Fix
-
-Make Narratio's publish-output resolution bookkeeping conform to ConfigKit's
-atomic-sequence contract. Whenever resolution derives one or more destinations
-inside `publish.outputs`, the recorded resolution changes must cover the
-`/publish/outputs` container. Destination derivation must not depend on an
-unrelated `required` default being applied in the same list.
-
-The implementation may retain more specific provenance where useful, but it
-must provide valid container-level coverage for the sequence mutation. Do not
-change ConfigKit's sequence comparison semantics merely to accommodate this
-call site.
-
-## Scope
-
-- Correct destination derivation for publish rules that explicitly set
-  `required` and omit a derivable `dest`.
-- Preserve explicit `required: true` and `required: false` values.
-- Preserve canonical destination derivation for built-in transcript sources
-  and configured artifact sources.
-- Add focused regression coverage through Narratio's real configuration load
-  and validation boundary.
-- Prepare a backward-compatible patch release after the fix passes the normal
-  repository validation.
-
-## Non-goals
-
-- Changing the `publish.outputs` schema, defaults, source vocabulary, or
-  destination derivation rules.
-- Requiring operators or configuration generators to supply `dest` when it is
-  derivable.
-- Requiring operators to omit explicit `required: true` values.
-- Treating flow-style YAML or JSON-compatible YAML values as unsupported.
-- Changing ConfigKit's documented atomic treatment of sequences.
-- Adding storage, publication, or network integration behavior.
-
-## Regression Coverage
-
-Add one focused package-level behavioral test that loads and validates a
-pipeline with omitted destinations and explicit requiredness. A representative
-list should include both `required: true` and `required: false`, then assert
-that:
-
-- loading and validation succeed;
-- each destination is derived from its source; and
-- each explicit `required` value is preserved.
-
-Using the compact flow-style representation that exposed the integration
-failure is reasonable, while the existing block-style cases continue to cover
-omitted `required`. The test should exercise the public configuration behavior,
-not ConfigKit call choreography or Narratio's private recording mechanism.
-
-No network service, object store, credential, or test double is required.
-
-## Target End State
-
-All valid publish rules with derivable sources behave consistently across
-these cases:
-
-| `dest` | `required` | Result |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| omitted | omitted | destination derived; required defaults to `true` |
-| omitted | `true` | destination derived; explicit `true` retained |
-| omitted | `false` | destination derived; explicit `false` retained |
-| explicit | either value | explicit destination and requiredness retained |
-
-`narratio config validate`, `narratio config show`, and ordinary pipeline
-loading accept the corrected cases without an unrecorded-change diagnostic.
-No operator configuration migration or workaround is required.
-
-## Release
-
-This is a backward-compatible correction to documented configuration behavior
-and should be released as Narratio `v2.1.1`. The release note should identify
-the corrected explicit-required/derived-destination interaction and state that
-no special upgrade action is required.
-
-## Acceptance Criteria
-
-- The focused regression test fails against v2.1.0 behavior and passes after
-  the fix.
-- Publish rules with explicit `required: true` or `required: false` and omitted
-  derivable destinations load and validate successfully.
-- Derived destinations and explicit requiredness appear correctly in the safe
-  effective configuration.
-- Existing destination derivation, publish validation, imports, profiles, and
-  configuration inspection tests remain green.
-- The complete repository validation and release-candidate checks pass.
-- The correction is published as the immutable `v2.1.1` tag with the required
-  release note.

-# Implementation Plan: Speaker Checkpoints and Replayable Uploads
-
-Status: Implementation complete; Stages 1-7 complete.
-
-## Scope and Instructions
-
-Implement [the feature roadmap](transcribe-checkpoints-and-replay.md). This plan
-replaces the completed Notarius-profile plan; that work remains in Git history.
-Complete the numbered stages in order, one bounded implementation prompt per
-stage for gpt-5.6-terra. Record completion and actual verification results here.
-Intermediate stages are not a finished feature and must not be released alone.
-
-Before working, read `AGENTS.md`, `docs/development.md`, all three policies in
-`docs/policy/`, the roadmap, and the stage-specific preparation below. Use the
-maintained Go 1.26 toolchain. Preserve operator choices, speaker filenames,
-bounded concurrency, streaming, and existing credentials/settings. Do not add
-new commands, dependencies, service requirements, arbitrary speaker limits,
-strict transcript schemas, or a generic checkpoint framework. No release or
-upstream service work is part of this plan.
-
-## Settled Design Decisions
-
-### Progress Representation and Recovery
-
-Add optional `transcribe_state_version` (version 1) and `transcribe_speakers`
-to `manifest.StageRecord`. The latter is a map keyed by the existing derived
-speaker ID, containing completed results only. Absence means that work must be
-done; a separate pending/running/failed state machine is unnecessary. Aggregate
-stage status/error remains authoritative for invocation failure. A versioned
-empty collection is meaningful: no earlier completions are reusable.
-
-Use a typed `TranscribeSpeakerRecord` with fingerprint version/digest,
-session-relative audio path, audio SHA-256 and size, one `ArtifactRecord` output
-of kind `transcript_raw`, output size, and producer run ID. The output carries
-its session-relative canonical path and SHA-256. No new transcript source IDs,
-synthetic schema contracts, timestamps, or historical attempt collections are
-needed. Existing aggregate diagnostics can retain attempt/status/duration data
-for work performed in the current invocation; do not fabricate that information
-for reused outputs.
-
-Keep the session-manifest schema identifier unchanged for this optional additive
-state; validate supported per-stage versions and retain strict decoding. New
-Narratio reads old manifests. Old binaries may reject the added fields under
-their existing strict decoding; document this downgrade limitation.
-
-For pre-feature manifests with no speaker evidence, regenerate transcription
-once when transcribe is next selected, even if the aggregate status succeeded.
-Old records do not bind individual transcript results to the audio bytes they
-used. Do not guess that association from current files, old `per_file` metadata,
-or abandoned run directories. This is the conservative upgrade path, not a new
-general migration system. No other stage or unselected range is forcibly run.
-
-### Reuse and Persistence
-
-Compute a versioned per-speaker fingerprint from speaker ID, session-relative
-audio identity, actual audio SHA-256/size, and the existing transcribe semantic
-configuration fingerprint (URL and language). Do not include invocation ID,
-absolute workspace root, concurrency, retry settings, timeout, or credentials.
-Stream input hashing with cancellation; do not trust stored input checksums
-alone. Recheck input bytes before accepting a new result to catch changes
-observed during transcription; fail that job without checkpointing mismatched
-evidence. This is not a hostile-filesystem snapshot or concurrent-editor
-transaction guarantee and requires no extra audio copies or file locks.
-
-Validate reusable output identity, canonical location, JSON, checksum, and size.
-Use existing confinement/file primitives. Missing or corrupt regular outputs
-become work; unsafe paths/non-regular conflicts follow existing safety errors,
-not recursive deletion. Missing required audio is an input error, not permission
-to reuse an unverifiable transcript. Removed inputs are removed from the current
-collection and aggregate outputs without deleting arbitrary files.
-
-One stage-owned mutex serializes candidate collection construction, manifest
-save, and installation of committed state. Save a detached candidate and only
-then update live authority, following analyze's pattern. Workers must not mutate
-the live manifest outside that serialized section. Keep expensive HTTP work
-outside the mutex. Stop dispatch/acceptance on checkpoint failure, join workers
-before return, and preserve the last successfully committed collection.
-
-Before launching requests, durably checkpoint the reconciled collection. For
-force, that collection is empty: this prevents later ordinary retries from
-resurrecting pre-force outputs. If this initial save fails, do not start requests
-or overwrite outputs. Force again clears the current collection again; ordinary
-retry retains replacements already checkpointed after the previous force.
-
-Save each validated result at its canonical raw-transcript location before
-checkpointing it. Run-local files remain staging/diagnostics, not reuse
-dependencies. Bytes left by an unsuccessful checkpoint have no completion
-authority. A worker may checkpoint a completed result using the parent stage
-context even if a sibling canceled the work context; parent cancellation or a
-checkpoint failure may prevent that save. Guarantee retention of committed
-work, not all responses that happened to finish during cancellation.
-
-### Multipart Replay Mechanism
-
-Replace the pipe/producer upload mechanism with a small pull-based multipart
-body backed by the audio reader. Use `mime/multipart.Writer` to encode a bounded
-metadata prefix and suffix around the file payload: capture the prefix after
-`CreateFormFile`, then encode the language field and closing boundary as the
-suffix. Generate this framing once per application attempt. Each body combines
-fresh readers for prefix, freshly opened audio, and suffix using `io.MultiReader`.
-No full-audio buffer or temporary multipart spool is needed.
-
-The initial body and `Request.GetBody` use the same factory/framing. Each owns
-an independent audio handle. Give bodies idempotent Close and context-triggered
-closure (for example `context.AfterFunc`), without holding a mutex across a
-blocking Read. Read/Close coordination must release a blocked source and retain
-genuine source-read/close errors while not treating deliberate early closure as
-source failure. The attempt owns cleanup of all created bodies, including
-replays; reject new body creation after its context expires.
-
-Remove the old producer `Wait` dependency. Track body-local source errors with
-synchronization so a swallowed upload read error cannot become a successful
-transcript, and a deliberately closed original body cannot poison a successful
-replay. Keep the outer retry policy and per-attempt context. Do not add replay
-counters to the user retry budget or depend on Go's exact internal retry count.
-Preserve ordinary HTTP redirect policy; body replay can also enable Go's
-body-preserving redirects. Do not introduce a new redirect restriction.
-
-## Stage 1: Add Durable Speaker Completion State
-
-Status: Complete.
-
-Completion marker (2026-09-21): Added optional versioned transcribe-owned
-per-speaker completion records, strict load/save validation, isolated collection
-cloning, legacy aggregate-only compatibility, and lifecycle-preservation
-coverage. Verified with `go test ./internal/manifest` and `git diff --check`.
-
-Preparation: `internal/manifest/manifest.go`, `store.go`, `analyze_state.go`,
-their tests, and `docs/internal/manifest.md`.
-
-1. Implement the additive fields, record type, version constants, validation,
-   and deep-copy helper described above in a focused transcribe state file.
-2. Validate ownership by the transcribe stage, supported versions, required
-   completed-record evidence, output kind, safe relative paths, SHA-256 values,
-   sizes, and producer identity consistency. Use existing speaker IDs as-is;
-   do not apply analysis-artifact key regexes or copy unrelated analysis limits.
-3. Integrate validation with both load and save. Preserve speaker state through
-   running/failed/stale transitions and aggregate result clearing. Generic stage
-   invalidation does not discard checkpoints; reconciliation checks their data.
-4. Test round-trip populated and versioned-empty collections, old manifests
-   without fields, malformed evidence, deep-copy isolation, and lifecycle
-   preservation. Avoid imposing JSON formatting or map order as contracts.
-
-Verify: `go test ./internal/manifest`.
-
-Done when durable storage can represent partial completion independently of
-aggregate status, without activating new stage behavior yet.
-
-## Stage 2: Implement Read-Only Speaker Reconciliation
-
-Status: Complete.
-
-Completion marker (2026-09-21): Extracted shared deterministic transcribe job
-construction and added read-only, cancellation-aware per-speaker input and
-output reconciliation. Covered unchanged reuse, semantic and operational
-settings, changed/added/removed inputs, legacy and forced work, missing/corrupt
-outputs, unsafe evidence, and missing audio without connecting runtime skip or
-checkpoint behavior. Verified with
-`go test ./internal/stage ./internal/manifest` and `git diff --check`.
-
-Preparation: `internal/stage/transcribe.go`, `semantic_contracts_initial.go`,
-`analyze_reconciliation.go`, `extract_resume.go`, their tests, and the artifact
-path/integrity helpers they use.
-
-1. Extract the existing audio discovery/job construction into a shared,
-   transcribe-local reconciliation path. Preserve current input selection and
-   speaker identity behavior. Build sorted jobs and classify completed results
-   against the current input set and evidence defined above.
-2. Add pure fingerprint construction and streamed input/output inspection.
-   Resolve manifest input paths with existing session-relative/absolute reading
-   helpers; do not change input precedence or assume the current working directory
-   is the session root. Newly written checkpoint paths are always relative.
-3. Return current records and work-to-do without writing files or manifest state.
-   Force selects all work and an empty starting collection; old unversioned
-   transcribe state supplies no reusable records. Do not connect aggregate skip
-   validation until execution can produce the new evidence in Stage 3.
-4. Test unchanged reuse; one changed audio among unchanged speakers; URL/language
-   changes; operational-setting exclusions; added/removed speakers; missing and
-   corrupt regular outputs; unsafe record paths; missing audio; and force.
-   Prefer compact tables and real temporary files over mocked hashing.
-
-Verify: `go test ./internal/stage ./internal/manifest`.
-
-Done when one read-only decision path describes exactly which speakers need
-work, without altering existing runtime behavior prematurely.
-
-## Stage 3: Execute and Checkpoint Speakers Incrementally
-
-Status: Complete.
-
-Completion marker (2026-09-21): Connected reconciliation to bounded execution,
-durably checkpointed the starting and per-speaker collections through detached
-manifest candidates, preserved committed work across failures and cancellation,
-rebuilt deterministic aggregate outputs from reusable evidence, and added
-speaker-aware resume validation. Updated production-style fixtures and covered
-serialized concurrent saves, force/retry replacement, input rechecks, save
-failures, partial recovery, and aggregate reconstruction. Verified with
-`go test ./internal/stage ./internal/app`, `go test -race ./internal/stage`, and
-`git diff --check`.
-
-Preparation: `internal/stage/transcribe.go`, `analyze_execution_state.go`,
-`run_local.go`,
-`internal/app/runner.go`, and transcribe/checkpoint test fixtures.
-
-1. Wire reconciliation into Run, require the existing ManifestStore collaborator,
-   and checkpoint the starting collection before launching HTTP work. Implement
-   detached candidate saves and serialized live-state updates. Audit Store.Save's
-   normalization side effects so a failed candidate save cannot mutate shared
-   authority; use detached records/collections wherever it may write.
-2. Retain bounded errgroup execution and fail-fast cancellation. Check the work
-   context before beginning each queued request. After success, validate adapter
-   output path/JSON, recheck audio evidence, materialize canonical bytes, compute
-   output evidence, and checkpoint the new record. Check a checkpoint-failure
-   latch under the serialization lock before accepting further completions.
-3. Preserve committed successes on all error/cancellation exits, including
-   starting-save, canonical-write, per-speaker-save, and aggregate-save failures.
-   Return meaningful speaker/error context and let the runner retain its existing
-   terminal failure behavior. Do not report partial aggregate outputs as success.
-4. Assemble final outputs in deterministic speaker order from the reconciled
-   completed records, including reused speakers, with original producer IDs and
-   checksums. If all records are current but aggregate status is failed/running,
-   finish without WhisperX calls and rebuild the aggregate success.
-5. Implement `transcribeStage.ValidateResume` using the same read-only
-   reconciliation, so a succeeded stage cannot skip changed audio or invalid
-   transcripts. Retain the existing URL/language semantic check and runner
-   invalidation behavior; no whole-config digest invalidation.
-6. Adapt existing tests that require no canonical partial files: the new contract
-   permits checkpointed files but forbids aggregate success. Update fixtures to
-   provide real manifest stores and records rather than a production fallback
-   that silently disables checkpointing.
-7. Test A/B completion followed by C failure and D unattempted (concurrency 1),
-   reload and retry only C/D; concurrently finishing speakers without lost saves;
-   failure and cancellation after a checkpoint; save failure retaining earlier
-   authority; and force failure followed by ordinary retry without old-result reuse.
-
-Verify: `go test ./internal/stage ./internal/app` and
-`go test -race ./internal/stage`.
-
-Done when incremental progress and aggregate success work together safely under
-ordinary, concurrent, canceled, and forced execution.
-
-## Stage 4: Verify Runner, Merge, and Durable Lifecycle Integration
-
-Status: Complete.
-
-Completion marker (2026-09-22): Added real-persistence application coverage for
-cross-invocation retry, interrupted running state, failed aggregate saves,
-force/reset persistence, downstream invalidation, and one-time legacy upgrade.
-Versioned merge input discovery now requires aggregate success and an exact
-match between current speaker evidence and declared aggregate outputs, while
-legacy/manual directory fallback remains available. Restore coverage preserves
-session-relative speaker paths, leaves unpublished raw transcripts absent, and
-canonical transcripts remain reusable after run-directory cleanup. Verified
-with `go test ./internal/app ./internal/stage ./internal/manifest`,
-`go test -race ./internal/app`, and `git diff --check`.
-
-Preparation: `internal/app/runner.go`, `runner_runtime.go`,
-`analyze_checkpoint_recovery_test.go`, `runner_terminal_failure_test.go`,
-`restore_manifest_paths.go`, `internal/stage/merge.go`, and existing publish,
-restore, and cleanup tests routed from `docs/internal/overview.md`.
-
-1. Add application-level tests with real manifest persistence and fake WhisperX:
-   failed stage across separate invocations; all speakers committed before a
-   failed aggregate save; interrupted running state; force/reset persistence;
-   and unchanged upstream/succeeded downstream invalidation behavior. Inject
-   errors at durable boundaries, not every private method call.
-2. Close `discoverRawTranscripts`' directory-scan fallback for versioned
-   transcribe state: incomplete aggregate state is not usable, and completed
-   state consumes only declared current aggregate outputs. Keep legacy/manual
-   fallback behavior for manifests without the new state rather than banning
-   previously allowed standalone workflows. Test that partial files and removed
-   speaker files cannot leak into a versioned merge, including direct stage calls.
-3. Audit manifest copies/projections, remote manifest publication, restored path
-   handling, and cleanup. Preserve relative speaker paths on restore and verify
-   they resolve under the destination session, not the producer machine. Reuse
-   existing confinement validation, not a second path-policy layer.
-4. Add focused round-trip coverage through existing publish/restore fixtures for
-   speaker records. Restored outputs absent from the published selection are
-   non-reusable locally; do not silently expand remote publication to every raw
-   speaker or upload audio as a new default. Removing run directories must not
-   remove canonical checkpointed transcripts or make reuse require run files.
-5. Verify old succeeded manifests are readable and rerun once when transcribe is
-   selected, then reuse normally. Keep old manifests usable for other commands
-   and bounded ranges. Do not automatically import old unrecorded JSON files.
-
-Verify: `go test ./internal/app ./internal/stage ./internal/manifest` and
-`go test -race ./internal/app`.
-
-Done when the new authority survives runner and storage lifecycles and cannot
-expose incomplete transcripts downstream.
-
-## Stage 5: Implement Replayable Streaming Multipart Bodies
-
-Status: Complete.
-
-Completion marker (2026-09-22): Replaced the producer-goroutine/pipe upload
-with bounded standard-library multipart framing and independently opened,
-pull-based streaming bodies shared by the initial request and `GetBody`.
-Bodies are tracked, idempotently closed, canceled with their attempt context,
-and retain genuine read/close failures without treating an intentionally
-abandoned original as a replay failure. Added focused coverage for identical
-framing, partial-read restart, simultaneous handles, source failures, and
-blocked-reader release. Verified with `go test ./internal/adapters/whisperx`,
-`go test -race ./internal/adapters/whisperx` (including ten repeated runs), and
-`git diff --check`.
-
-Preparation: `internal/adapters/whisperx/http.go`, `http_test.go`,
-`docs/integrations/whisperx.md`, and the installed Go net/http Request/GetBody
-contract. Keep this change inside the WhisperX adapter.
-
-1. Implement the pull-based framing/body factory described above, using standard
-   multipart encoding rather than hand-escaped MIME headers. Add no new payload
-   cap or upload-size setting. Preserve file-before-language wire semantics and
-   the existing form names.
-2. Install the initial body and GetBody with the same per-attempt boundary.
-   Track and close all opened bodies even if a custom transport returns early;
-   make cleanup/context callbacks safe against overlapping reads and closes.
-   A GetBody failure must be returned, not converted into an empty upload.
-3. Replace pipe-specific Wait/error paths in doTranscribeAttempt with source-error
-   handling appropriate to pull bodies. Genuine source errors remain visible;
-   intentional closure during transport retry is not itself a source error.
-   Keep response bounds, JSON validation, output installation, retry
-   classification/delay, cancellation, and application attempt reporting intact.
-4. Remove obsolete producer-only helpers rather than retaining two upload paths.
-   Adapt tests tied to producer goroutines to assert streaming and resource
-   release, which are the actual contracts.
-5. Add focused body tests: original/replayed bytes parse identically; replay
-   after partial consumption starts from the beginning; simultaneous bodies use
-   independent handles; source failures propagate; Close/cancel releases a
-   blocked reader without deadlock. Use synthetic audio and gated readers.
-
-Verify: `go test ./internal/adapters/whisperx` and
-`go test -race ./internal/adapters/whisperx`.
-
-Done when replay is available without whole-file buffering or producer-lifetime
-ambiguity, and all existing HTTP behavior tests still pass.
-
-## Stage 6: Verify Replay Through the HTTP Adapter Boundary
-
-Status: Complete.
-
-Completion marker (2026-09-22): Added a deterministic transport regression
-that abandons a partially consumed original request, obtains and parses a fresh
-multipart replay from `GetBody`, and installs the returned transcript within one
-application attempt. Covered replay open/read failures, early responses,
-parent cancellation during replay, and disposal of every opened source, while
-proving an abandoned original does not poison a valid replay. Added a real HTTP
-retry-exhaustion integration that durably retains an earlier speaker and resumes
-only the uncommitted speakers. This controlled boundary verifies Narratio's
-replay contract, not recovery from every real proxy protocol failure. Verified
-with `go test ./internal/adapters/whisperx ./internal/app ./internal/stage`,
-`go test -race ./internal/adapters/whisperx ./internal/app ./internal/stage`,
-ten repeated race-enabled adapter runs, and `git diff --check`.
-
-Preparation: Existing injectable HTTPClient/RoundTripper seam and local-server
-tests in `internal/adapters/whisperx/http_test.go`; app WhisperX wiring tests.
-
-1. Add a deterministic transport-boundary regression: consume part of the
-   original request, close it as a transport would, call GetBody, consume and
-   parse the replay using the request Content-Type, then return valid JSON.
-   Verify exact audio/language, installed output, and one application attempt.
-   This must fail before replay support; merely checking non-nil GetBody is
-   insufficient. Do not assert Go's internal retry count or require a flaky
-   handcrafted HTTP/2 peer in the default suite.
-2. Cover replay-open/read failure, early response, parent cancellation during
-   replay, and disposal of all body handles. Reuse Stage 5 body coverage rather
-   than repeat every low-level case. Prove an intentionally abandoned original
-   body does not turn a valid replay response into failure.
-3. Retain local HTTP tests for application retries, non-retryable responses,
-   response limits, invalid JSON, and bounded streaming; exercise that an
-   exhausted HTTP failure still leaves earlier speaker checkpoints reusable
-   using the existing stage/app seams.
-4. Record the verification boundary honestly: controlled transport replay proves
-   Narratio's body contract, not recovery from every real proxy PROTOCOL_ERROR.
-
-Verify: `go test ./internal/adapters/whisperx ./internal/app ./internal/stage`
-and race tests for changed packages.
-
-Done when the replay defect is protected at the adapter boundary and the
-application retry/checkpoint behavior remains intact.
-
-## Stage 7: Document and Validate the Completed Feature
-
-Status: Complete.
-
-Completion marker (2026-09-22): Updated the canonical transcribe, merge,
-manifest, WhisperX, operations, and troubleshooting documentation for durable
-speaker reconciliation, serialized checkpoints, aggregate gating, durable
-force reset, legacy upgrade and downgrade limits, replayable streaming bodies,
-resource ownership, and the absence of an exactly-once remote guarantee.
-Reviewed the completed implementation against the feature roadmap and
-implementation-discipline guidance. Verified with `go test ./...`,
-`go test -race ./...`, `go vet ./...`, `go build ./...`,
-`go test ./internal/doccheck`,
-`go test ./internal/config -run '^TestExamplesLoadAndValidate$'`, and
-`git diff --check`.
-
-1. Update canonical transcribe and manifest internals for the collection,
-   reconciliation, durable-reset force behavior, serialized saves, and aggregate
-   gate. Remove obsolete all-speakers-before-canonical-write descriptions.
-2. Update the WhisperX contract for replayable bounded streaming, application
-   attempts versus transport replay, resource ownership, and the lack of an
-   exactly-once server guarantee. Do not claim the remote protocol issue is fixed.
-3. Update operations/troubleshooting with ordinary resume versus force, durable
-   partial success, old-manifest one-time retranscription on selecting transcribe,
-   downgrade limitations, and private-model-change guidance. No new CLI flags
-   or promises of automatic historical-file recovery. Keep detailed wire and
-   storage contracts in their canonical owners.
-4. Review changes against the feature roadmap and the implementation-discipline
-   guidance. Do not elevate selected storage encoding, internal ordering, test
-   synchronization, or exact error wording into new product guarantees.
-5. Run the full repository gates below; document results and update completion
-   statuses only after they pass. Leave release preparation for a separate task.
-
-```sh
-go test ./...
-go test -race ./...
-go vet ./...
-go build ./...
-go test ./internal/doccheck
-go test ./internal/config -run '^TestExamplesLoadAndValidate$'
-git diff --check
-```
-
-## Open Questions
-
-None requiring user input. The agreed roadmap supplies the product decisions;
-this plan selects a completed-only manifest collection, conservative old-record
-handling, and pull-based replay as implementation choices. No stronger remote
-reliability guarantee, new operator restriction, or generic orchestration
-surface is proposed.

-# Notarius Configuration Profile Selection
-
-Status: Implemented.
-
-## Goal and Authority
-
-Implement the consumer behavior in the
-[feature request](feature-request-notarius-config-profile.yml): let a Narratio
-configuration overlay explicitly select a Notarius configuration overlay.
-Operators can select testing once in Narratio while each application retains
-ownership of its own model choices and other settings.
-
-This roadmap describes the target state and required change areas, not an
-implementation sequence; the [implementation plan](implementation.md) owns
-the ordered work and implementation decisions. The feature request is the scope
-authority; the mechanisms suggested below do not establish additional
-user-facing contracts.
-
-## Underlying Issue
-
-Narratio can select its own testing profile, but extraction currently invokes
-Notarius without a configuration-profile selector. Consequently, a Narratio
-testing invocation cannot explicitly select the independently deployed Notarius
-testing overlay through pipeline configuration.
-
-Adding individual downstream model or tuning fields would duplicate Notarius's
-configuration responsibilities. Passing its existing profile selector provides
-the requested flexibility without that duplication.
-
-## Targeted End State
-
-### Explicit Configuration Composition
-
-`pipeline.notarius.config_profile` is an optional Notarius configuration-profile
-name, usable in Narratio's base configuration and ordinary overlays. For
-example, Narratio's `profiles/testing.yml` may contain:
-
-```yaml
-notarius:
-  config_profile: testing
-```
-
-Selecting Narratio's `--profile testing` then selects that explicit downstream
-profile whenever extraction executes. The two profile names need not match.
-Narratio does not automatically forward its own profile name.
-
-When supplied, the selection is passed through Notarius's `--config-profile`
-argument. Omitted or null values add no profile-selection flag and preserve
-existing downstream selection behavior. Notarius's selector semantics remain
-authoritative, including empty and `default` selections for the composed base
-configuration. Narratio does not introduce a stricter profile-name policy.
-
-This field selects a ConfigKit configuration overlay, not a PromptKit profile
-through `--llm-profile`. The Notarius overlay owns any resulting LLM-profile
-selection. Notarius resolves overlays relative to its own configuration root;
-Narratio neither resolves those files against its own root nor rewrites them.
-
-### Execution, Reuse, and Failure
-
-A changed downstream profile selection must not silently reuse Narratio's
-completed extraction from the previous selection. Existing dependent-stage
-invalidation applies when extraction changes; the feature does not change the
-pipeline order or transcript-generation behavior.
-
-Notarius continues to own downstream overlay discovery, composition, validation,
-and cache compatibility. A missing or invalid selected overlay must fail
-extraction through the existing subprocess error path, without silently falling
-back to production or reporting successful extraction.
-
-Existing resume and chunk-cache controls, including force precedence, remain
-in place. Profile selection does not itself mean forced regeneration or cache
-deletion. Narratio's decision to execute extraction and Notarius's decision to
-reuse compatible work remain separate responsibilities.
-
-Changes to private Notarius configuration behind an unchanged selector retain
-the existing operator responsibility to force extraction when needed. There is
-no new downstream file inspection or content-tracking requirement.
-
-Credential forwarding remains independently configured through
-`notarius.llm_api_key`. A Narratio testing overlay may select a different
-credential reference alongside the downstream profile; no new credential
-discovery or provider-name mapping is introduced.
-
-## Required Change Areas
-
-### Configuration and Inspection
-
-Extend the typed Notarius configuration and its existing safe effective-YAML
-projection to carry the optional field. Preserve the ordinary configuration
-composition behavior for base values, overlay overrides, and null values.
-Configuration inspection must reflect the selected field without exposing
-credential values. No replacement configuration loader or downstream preflight
-loader is needed.
-
-### Stage and Adapter Boundary
-
-Carry the selection from resolved configuration through the extraction request
-to the subprocess adapter. Construct the optional CLI flag using the existing
-argument-vector mechanism, alongside the current configuration path, references,
-credential forwarding, and cache controls. Retain normal Notarius error handling.
-
-### Extraction Reuse Evidence
-
-Account for the downstream selection in the existing extraction reuse evidence.
-The current semantic-configuration and invocation fingerprints are the relevant
-change points. Keep their treatment of selection consistent so that a profile
-change cannot bypass the required rerun and downstream invalidation.
-
-This roadmap does not require a new manifest schema, separate profile-indexed
-workspaces, historical per-profile result retention, or an upgrade-wide forced
-rerun.
-
-### Verification and Documentation
-
-Use focused behavioral coverage for configuration composition and inspection,
-explicit argument forwarding and omission, changed-selection reuse decisions,
-and ordinary subprocess failure handling. Reuse existing test coverage where
-it already protects unchanged credentials, force behavior, and invalidation;
-do not duplicate Notarius's complete profile-validation or cache test suites.
-
-When implemented, update the canonical
-[configuration reference](../config.md),
-[Notarius integration contract](../integrations/notarius.md),
-[extract internals](../internal/stage-extract.md), and relevant maintained
-examples. The development workflow in [Operations](../operations.md) should
-explain explicit profile composition and the existing need to force extraction
-after private downstream edits. Clarify that profile selection does not create
-an isolated testing workspace or separate current extraction state.
-
-## Compatibility and Scope Boundaries
-
-Notarius v0.7.0 already documents `--config-profile`; no upstream change is
-required. Document the capability needed when the option is used, without adding
-an unconditional runtime version gate for existing unconfigured deployments.
-
-This feature adds no Narratio CLI selector, automatic profile propagation,
-Notarius LLM-profile selector, downstream configuration rewriting, new
-credential mechanism, or generalized recursive orchestration. Existing output
-and receipt contracts remain unchanged.
-
-The consumer's Ansible role and suite updates are follow-up work outside this
-repository. They can deploy downstream overlays and populate this field after
-the interface is released.
-
-## Scope Review
-
-No stronger requirements or new invariants are proposed beyond the feature
-request and existing repository contracts. In particular, minimizing one-time
-upgrade invalidation and avoiding reruns between equivalent base selectors are
-implementation considerations, not additional acceptance guarantees imposed
-by this roadmap. No user decisions are currently required before planning.

-# Transcription Checkpoint Review Remediation
-
-Status: Complete.
-
-Reviewed commits `7b0bf99` through `96b4e73` against the speaker-checkpoint and
-upload-replay roadmap and the original user request. No production changes were
-made during review. The two failures below were reproduced with temporary tests
-using the existing stage fixtures; those temporary tests were removed afterward.
-
-## 1. Reconcile Aggregate State Even When No Speaker Needs HTTP Work
-
-Priority: P2. Status: Complete.
-
-Implemented read-only aggregate identity/evidence checks before resume skips.
-Regression tests cover removed inputs, missing/duplicate/mismatched outputs,
-repair without HTTP requests, downstream invalidation, and exclusion of removed
-speakers from merge without deleting their files. Equivalent path forms and
-output ordering remain reusable. Focused app/stage tests and documentation
-checks pass.
-
-Location: `internal/stage/transcribe_resume.go:21` and the reconciliation result
-consumed there.
-
-`ValidateResume` returns reusable whenever `reconciliation.work` is empty. That
-only establishes that the remaining speakers need no transcription; it does
-not establish that the stored speaker collection and aggregate outputs match
-the current input set. Removing a speaker while the remaining inputs are
-unchanged produces an empty work list, so a succeeded record can be skipped
-without pruning the removed speaker. Its old aggregate output can then remain
-available to merge. Likewise, missing/inconsistent aggregate output references
-are not repaired when all individual checkpoints remain valid. A prepare rerun
-may already stale transcribe in some workflows, but the resume validator cannot
-rely on that to satisfy its own current-input/output checks.
-
-Reproduction: create complete alice/bob checkpoint records and aggregate
-outputs with the existing fixture, mark the stage succeeded, remove bob from
-the manifest's audio inputs, and call `ValidateResume`. It returns reusable
-despite still retaining bob in the stored collection and aggregate outputs.
-
-Required change:
-
-- Distinguish no HTTP work from no reconciliation work. Validate that the
-  committed speaker set and aggregate transcript references represent the
-  reconciled current set, including relevant identity/evidence, before skipping.
-- When only collection/output repair is needed, return non-resumable and let
-  normal execution checkpoint the pruned collection and rebuild aggregate
-  outputs without retranscribing reusable speakers. Preserve existing dependent
-  invalidation; do not force otherwise-current speaker jobs.
-- Keep resume inspection read-only. Do not fix this by deleting incidental
-  transcript files or changing stage selection rules.
-
-Verification: add removed-only input coverage (not just removal combined with
-an added speaker), plus incomplete/inconsistent aggregate output coverage.
-Exercise the runner skip path and assert zero additional WhisperX requests,
-correct rebuilt outputs, and no removed speaker reaching merge.
-
-## 2. Remove the Unrequested Positive Audio-Size Requirement
-
-Priority: P2. Status: Complete.
-
-Audio evidence now permits zero size while still rejecting negative values.
-Regression tests verify zero-size manifest round trips, successful service
-results being checkpointed and reused, and service rejection being propagated
-without creating a completion record. Nonempty valid-JSON output validation is
-unchanged. Both new success regressions failed before the fix.
-
-Location: `internal/manifest/transcribe_state.go:95`.
-
-The new record validator requires `AudioSize > 0`. Previously Narratio accepted
-a regular `.flac` file and delegated transcription acceptance to WhisperX;
-neither the user request nor the roadmap introduced minimum audio size or a new
-audio-content validation policy. Zero-byte content still has a valid checksum
-and can be represented by the checkpoint mechanism. The current check runs
-after a successful response and output materialization, causing the entire
-stage to fail instead of retaining the completed work.
-
-Reproduction: prepare one speaker, replace its prepared audio with an empty
-regular file, and use the existing successful fake WhisperX client. Stage
-execution fails at checkpoint validation with `audio_size must be positive`.
-This demonstrates the extra Narratio restriction; it does not assert that a
-particular production WhisperX deployment accepts empty audio.
-
-Required change:
-
-- Permit zero audio size and reject negative sizes. Keep byte hashing and
-  size equality checks. Let the downstream service decide whether the input
-  can be transcribed, as before.
-- Do not remove the nonempty valid-JSON output requirement, which has a separate
-  existing justification. Do not add a new early empty-audio rejection instead.
-- Update any new tests/documentation that promote strictly positive input size
-  to a contract.
-
-Verification: cover a zero-size record round-trip and successful adapter result
-being checkpointed/reused for that input; retain negative-size rejection and
-ordinary downstream-failure tests.
-
-## Verification After Remediation
-
-Completed on 2026-09-22 with Go 1.26.8: focused stage/application tests,
-changed-package race tests, `go test ./...`, `go test -race ./...`,
-`go vet ./...`, `go build ./...`, `go test ./internal/doccheck`,
-`go test ./internal/config -run '^TestExamplesLoadAndValidate$'`, and
-`git diff --check` all passed. Existing replay and cancellation regression
-tests remain intact; the HTTP adapter required no changes.

-# Resumable Speaker Transcription and Replayable Uploads
-
-Status: Implemented.
-
-## Goal and User Intent
-
-Preserve completed speaker transcriptions when another speaker fails, so an
-ordinary run or resume does not repeat expensive successful work. Separately,
-allow Go's HTTP transport to replay WhisperX uploads when it encounters a
-recoverable connection or stream failure.
-
-The motivating incident exhausted four transcription attempts for one speaker
-after three other speakers had completed. The final error reported an HTTP/2
-peer `PROTOCOL_ERROR` and an inability to replay the request body without
-`Request.GetBody`.
-
-These are related reliability improvements, not a promise to eliminate all
-service failures. This document owns the target state and scope; the
-[implementation plan](implementation.md) owns ordered changes and concrete
-storage and replay decisions.
-
-## Pre-implementation Limitations
-
-The [transcribe stage](../internal/stage-transcribe.md) writes successful
-responses into the invocation's run directory. It installs canonical transcripts
-and returns its per-file metadata only after every speaker succeeds. A failure
-therefore leaves no durable per-speaker progress that ordinary resume can use,
-even though some completed JSON files may remain on disk.
-
-The [WhisperX adapter](../integrations/whisperx.md) already retries requests at
-the application level, reopening audio for each attempt. Its multipart request
-body is streamed through a pipe and has no replay callback. Transport-level
-recovery within an attempt cannot reconstruct a consumed body. Providing that
-capability addresses the replay limitation, not the underlying peer protocol
-error; persistent failures can still require service or proxy investigation.
-
-## Targeted End State
-
-### Durable Per-Speaker Completion
-
-Each successfully transcribed speaker file is validated, saved, and recorded
-durably before that work is treated as reusable. The session manifest remains
-the progress authority. Follow the existing analyze-stage checkpoint pattern
-without turning speakers into pipeline stages or introducing a general task
-engine.
-
-Ordinary execution reconciles the current prepared audio set with recorded
-speaker results. It reuses valid completed work and schedules failed,
-unattempted, missing, or obsolete results. A result is not reusable merely
-because a matching filename exists. Evidence binds it to the speaker/audio
-identity, audio content, Narratio-visible recognition settings, and the saved
-transcript's integrity.
-
-The relevant recognition settings remain the WhisperX service URL and language.
-Retry count/delay, concurrency, timeout, credentials, and diagnostic locations
-remain operational settings rather than reasons to discard completed results.
-Changes to private service models or configuration remain an operator reason
-to force transcription; Narratio does not inspect the service's private state.
-
-Changes to individual audio inputs require replacement of affected results,
-not automatic retranscription of unrelated unchanged speakers. New speakers
-need transcription; removed speakers do not remain in the current aggregate
-output set. Records must describe the inputs actually used, not grant reuse to
-old bytes under a changed identity.
-
-### Aggregate Completion, Failure, and Force
-
-The overall stage succeeds only when every currently required speaker has a
-validated, durably recorded result. Incomplete per-speaker progress does not
-make the aggregate stage successful or authorize downstream consumption of an
-incomplete collection. Existing dependent-stage invalidation remains in effect.
-
-Retain bounded concurrency and the current fail-fast behavior: a speaker
-failure cancels outstanding work. Results already checkpointed remain reusable
-after failure, cancellation, or process interruption. A later ordinary run or
-resume retries the remaining work; it does not need a new CLI command.
-
-Checkpoint writes must be serialized so concurrently finishing speakers cannot
-overwrite each other's progress. A failed persistence operation must not
-advertise an unrecorded result as complete. Previously committed progress remains
-the recovery authority, and checkpoint errors must be surfaced rather than
-reported as successful transcription.
-
-`--force` on transcribe regenerates all currently required speakers instead of
-reusing their prior completions. Successful replacements are checkpointed too,
-so an ordinary retry after a failed forced invocation can retain the newly
-completed work. Old results for speakers not successfully regenerated must not
-satisfy that unfinished forced replacement on the next ordinary retry.
-
-This deliberately relaxes the current all-speakers-before-canonical-installation
-implementation: individual durable results may exist while the stage remains
-failed or incomplete. The all-speakers-before-stage-success boundary remains.
-
-### Replayable WhisperX Requests
-
-Provide `Request.GetBody` so the HTTP transport can obtain a fresh body for the
-same request. Replay reopens the audio and reproduces the multipart boundary,
-filename, fields, and framing used by the original request. Independent bodies
-must not share a consumed reader or mutable read position.
-
-Preserve bounded-memory streaming rather than buffering entire audio files in
-memory. Correctly close every original and replay body and its audio resources;
-preserve source-read errors and cancellation, including partial uploads and
-early server responses. Successful response handling must not accidentally wait
-on, or report errors solely from, an abandoned body instead of the replay that
-produced the response.
-
-Keep the existing application-level retry count, delay, classification, and
-per-attempt timeout semantics. Transport replays occur within an application
-attempt and its context; they are not additional Narratio-configured attempts.
-Do not add another custom retry loop, silently increase retries, or disable
-HTTP/2 globally as a substitute for replay support.
-
-The adapter still validates and installs only successful JSON responses.
-Request replay does not provide exactly-once server execution: a lost response
-can cause repeated transcription work, as can existing application retries.
-No new service-side idempotency protocol is required by this feature.
-
-## Required Change Areas
-
-- **Manifest and persistence:** Add transcribe-owned per-speaker progress and
-  evidence, with safe checkpoint updates and preservation through runner failure
-  handling. Review manifest validation, copying, serialization, and existing
-  publish/restore handling wherever the new records pass through those paths.
-- **Stage execution and reuse:** Reconcile speaker records before scheduling,
-  checkpoint validated completions, rebuild aggregate outputs from the current
-  set, and account for partial progress in ordinary and forced execution.
-  Review successful-stage reuse as well as failed-stage retries so stale audio
-  or missing/corrupt transcript evidence is not bypassed by an aggregate skip.
-- **Artifact lifecycle:** Use existing path, installation, integrity, and manifest
-  mechanisms. Ensure checkpointed results do not depend on an ephemeral run
-  directory surviving cleanup. Do not introduce a second authoritative ledger
-  or infer completion by scanning abandoned runs.
-- **HTTP adapter:** Make multipart bodies reproducible and correctly manage
-  every replay's lifetime, without changing the WhisperX HTTP schema or requiring
-  an upstream service change.
-- **Tests:** Cover per-speaker recovery after a later failure, interruption and
-  checkpoint failure; changed/missing inputs or outputs; force followed by an
-  ordinary retry; concurrent successful completions; and aggregate downstream
-  gating. Extend existing fixtures rather than duplicating analyze's complete
-  test suite. Exercise actual body reconstruction after partial consumption,
-  multipart equivalence, cancellation/resource cleanup, and existing bounded
-  streaming and retry behavior—not just the presence of a callback. Default
-  tests remain offline and use local/fake HTTP boundaries, never paid services.
-- **Documentation:** Update the canonical
-  [stage guide](../internal/stage-transcribe.md),
-  [manifest guide](../internal/manifest.md),
-  [WhisperX contract](../integrations/whisperx.md),
-  [operations guide](../operations.md), and
-  [troubleshooting guide](../troubleshooting.md) when implemented. Explain
-  partial completion, ordinary retry versus force, and the distinction between
-  request replay limitations and persistent peer protocol failures.
-
-## Compatibility and Scope Boundaries
-
-Existing speaker identities, raw transcript formats, and the fixed pipeline
-order remain unchanged. Existing manifests remain readable, but must not be
-treated as containing per-speaker evidence they never recorded. Recovery relies
-on verified recorded evidence, not guessed associations between old transcripts
-and current audio. No general legacy-migration framework is part of the feature.
-
-Automatic adoption of unrecorded outputs from previously failed runs is outside
-this feature. Such files may be recoverable after verifying their inputs, but
-their presence alone does not prove completion. No recovery/import command,
-speaker-selection CLI, historical invocation ledger, new service configuration
-discovery, or broader orchestration refactor is included.
-
-The feature does not diagnose the remote service/proxy's underlying HTTP/2
-problem, guarantee recovery from persistent protocol errors, or change the
-policy for continuing unrelated work after failure.
-
-## Completion Criteria
-
-For speakers A, B, C, and D: if A and B are checkpointed, C fails, and D has not
-completed, ordinary resume retains A and B, retries C, and completes D. No
-downstream stage receives an incomplete successful transcription collection.
-Force replaces all four, while an ordinary retry can reuse checkpoints from
-that forced replacement attempt.
-
-The HTTP transport can reconstruct the upload after consuming the original
-body, without whole-file memory buffering, lost source errors, or stranded
-upload resources. A persistent peer error still fails normally after the
-configured application attempts, without discarding checkpointed speakers.

+
+Safe fix:
+
+- follow the [migration table](./operations.md#migrating-audita-and-provider-credentials)
+  and use a supported Audita v2 executable and configuration;

+
+An exit-zero polish with a valid transcript succeeds even when Audita reports
