 # weatherreporter
 
-`weatherreporter` is a Go application for preparing human-facing weather
-reports from normalized forecast data. It builds JSON module snapshots, passes
-YAML prompt data packages to `scriptorium`, and keeps inspectable artifacts
-under a local workspace. It can also upload successfully generated managed
-Markdown reports to a configured `distributor` HTTP upload endpoint.
+Weatherreporter is a Go CLI that turns normalized weather data into
+human-facing Markdown reports.
+
+It produces a Markdown report at an operator-owned destination and can upload
+the completed output through Distributor. It can also compare explicitly
+selected Promptkit profiles against one shared prepared report and publish a
+local comparison bundle.
 
 ## Quickstart
 
 ```sh
-weatherreporter generate today --out ./today.md
+weatherreporter generate today
 ```
 
+Configure a Weather API endpoint first; see the
+[configuration reference](docs/config.md). The report is written to
+`today.md` in the current directory when `output.directory` is not configured.
+Set that configuration value for an ordinary publication directory, or use
+`--out` for one command. See the [CLI reference](docs/cli.md) and [operations
+guide](docs/operations.md) for command and operating details.

+# 0001: Make Weatherreporter Execution Stateless
+
+Status: Accepted
+
+Date: 2026-08-01
+
+## Context
+
+Weather reports are ephemeral products. Forecasts and current conditions change
+continuously, so the useful response to an old, failed, or superseded report is
+normally a new generation rather than replaying or inspecting a prior run.
+
+The existing run-addressed workspace retains module snapshots, prompt inputs,
+execution receipts, generated text, rendered reports, metadata, and
+notification receipts. That provenance store accumulates operational history
+whose recovery and compatibility obligations are disproportionate to the value
+of an ephemeral weather report. It also exists solely to support local Recent
+Changes comparison for a rarely used report section.
+
+The temporary roadmap that defined the feature scope and implementation plan
+has been retired under the repository's documentation lifecycle. The
+[architecture policy](../policy/architecture.md) defines the resulting system
+invariants; this decision records their durable rationale.
+
+## Decision
+
+Weatherreporter will operate as a stateless transformation pipeline:
+
+```text
+Weather API input
+  -> deterministic facts and modules
+  -> Promptkit data package and generated text
+  -> repository-owned Markdown rendering
+  -> operator-owned report output
+  -> optional Distributor upload
+```
+
+Ordinary invocations will retain intermediate values only for the active
+process and will publish one operator-owned Markdown output atomically. A
+failed or canceled generation must not truncate or partially replace an
+existing selected output. Single-report Distributor notification follows
+successful publication; batch notification follows successful publication of
+every planned report.
+
+Weatherreporter will remove local Recent Changes comparison instead of
+retaining application state to support it. It will remove run-addressed
+workspace artifacts, historical inspection, and backward-compatible workspace
+decoding. RunIDs may remain active correlation and Distributor idempotency
+values, but will not identify retained application history.
+
+Explicit `--llm-debug-dir` capture remains the sole diagnostic-file exception.
+The operator selects and manages that secure location; ordinary execution does
+not create an implicit debug location or a general logging store, and debug
+capture must continue to exclude credentials.
+
+Any future forecast comparison must use a structured product supplied by the
+Weather API rather than local Weatherreporter history. The proposed
+[Upstream Forecast Change Product](../roadmap/future.md#upstream-forecast-change-product)
+defines the required upstream direction. A future integration must not add a
+local snapshot fallback.
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### Retain The Bounded Current-State Design
+
+Retaining a managed workspace with current metadata, receipts, and snapshots
+would preserve inspection and local comparison, but keeps an application-owned
+history subsystem, artifact compatibility burden, and recovery surface that do
+not match the report lifecycle.
+
+### Time-Based Retention
+
+Expiring workspace material after a fixed period reduces accumulation but still
+requires retention policy, cleanup behavior, failure handling, and historical
+format support. It does not remove the mismatch between retained provenance and
+ephemeral report products.
+
+### Bounded Run History
+
+Keeping only a fixed number of prior runs limits storage volume but still makes
+Weatherreporter responsible for run selection, comparison, inspection, and
+state migration. It also creates arbitrary history gaps without establishing an
+authoritative forecast baseline.
+
+## Consequences
+
+The CLI, configuration, prompt-input, workspace, and inspection contracts will
+change together. Legacy workspace material will not be migrated, decoded, or
+automatically deleted; operators remain responsible for any desired cleanup.
+
+Current action results will carry active identity, selected profile, safe
+effective model information, output location, notification result, and safe
+errors instead of historical artifact paths. Tests will protect atomic output,
+batch and notification ordering, explicit secure debug capture, and the
+absence of ordinary application-managed state.
+
+This decision deliberately leaves the Weather API responsible for any future
+forecast-history comparison. It avoids a cache, archive, retention engine,
+manifest, resume mechanism, or replacement inspection surface in
+Weatherreporter.

-Implemented `generate` commands write a JSON module snapshot, YAML data package,
-preflight artifact, managed Markdown report, and metadata under the configured
-workspace. `--out` writes an extra Markdown copy for the operator; distributor
-notification uses the managed report path, not the extra copy. `generate daily`,
-`generate today`, `generate tomorrow`, and `generate hourly` write managed
-generated-text artifacts, validate structured text from Scriptorium, and render
-the managed Markdown report from embedded templates. `generate daily` requires
-`--date YYYY-MM-DD` for the selected local civil day; omitting `--date` is a
-command error and stops before weather data is collected. `generate hourly`
-covers the next six hours in the effective report timezone and does not accept
-date or event window flags. `generate storm` requires explicit event-window
-bounds with `--start` and `--end`.
+`weatherreporter --version` prints the version embedded in the executable.
+Tagged release binaries report their semantic version tag; ordinary local
+builds report `development`.
 
-`run morning` generates Today Report, Tomorrow Report, and a dated Daily Report
-for each later future local civil day with complete hourly forecast coverage.
-`run evening` generates Tomorrow Report and the same eligible future Daily
-reports. Future Daily expansion starts with the day after tomorrow and skips
-days that do not have every hourly forecast period for the local civil day.
-Batch commands collect weather data once before planning; a collection failure
-stops the batch before any report is generated. Batch runs continue independent
-reports after a later report failure, print a JSON summary to stdout, write
-compact status lines to stderr, and return nonzero when any report failed.
-`--out-dir` writes extra Markdown copies for the operator; distributor
-notification uses managed report paths, not the extra copies. Today and
-Tomorrow use their report default copy names, and dynamic Daily copies use
-`daily-YYYY-MM-DD.md`. When distributor and batch notification are enabled, a
-fully successful batch uploads one distributor bundle after report generation
-finishes. The JSON summary exposes that upload as a top-level `notification`
-object, and stderr includes one `batchNotification` status line. If any planned
-report fails, the batch notification is skipped for the whole batch.
+| Command | Contract |
+| --- | --- |
+| `generate daily` | Requires `--date YYYY-MM-DD`; the date is interpreted in the effective report timezone. Its default filename is `daily-YYYY-MM-DD.md`. |
+| `generate today` | Accepts an optional `--date YYYY-MM-DD`; without it, the current local date in the effective report timezone is used. Its default filename is `today.md`. |
+| `generate tomorrow` | Uses the next local civil day and writes `tomorrow.md` by default. |
+| `generate hourly` | Covers the next six hours in the effective report timezone and writes `hourly.md` by default. It does not accept `--date`, `--hours`, or `--duration`. |
+| `run morning` and `run evening` | Run their defined report batches beneath the configured output directory, or the current directory when none is configured. `--out-dir` selects another directory. `--out` is not accepted. |
+| `compare REPORT` | Accepts `daily`, `today`, `tomorrow`, or `hourly`. It requires at least two distinct, nonblank `--profile` values in their supplied order. Daily requires `--date`; Today accepts it optionally; Tomorrow and Hourly do not accept it. |
 
-Hourly Report, 3-Day Outlook, and Weekend Outlook are explicit only; they are
-not included in `run morning` or `run evening`.
+`generate` accepts the four report command names shown above. `run` accepts
+only `morning` and `evening`. `compare` always requires explicit profile
+selection: `promptkit.profile` is not used as a comparison default. Batch
+membership and notification ordering are described in the
+[operations guide](operations.md).
 
-`inspect` commands read existing workspace artifacts and emit JSON to stdout.
-They do not collect weather data or invoke `scriptorium`.
+## Output, Errors, And Quiet Mode
 
-## Flags
+For `generate`, the report's default filename is placed beneath
+`output.directory` when configured, otherwise the current directory. `--out
+PATH` selects one complete output file instead. A relative path is resolved
+from the current directory; an absolute path is used as given. For a batch,
+the configured directory has the same role and `--out-dir PATH` selects its
+output directory instead. For `compare`, `--out-dir PATH` selects one exact
+bundle directory; otherwise the report-derived comparison directory is placed
+beneath the configured directory or current directory. `--replace` is required
+to replace an existing nonempty recognized comparison bundle. See the
+[configuration reference](config.md) for the field's validation and path rules
+and the [comparison bundle contract](integrations/comparison-bundle.md) for the
+bundle format.
 
-- `-h`, `--help`: show help.
-- `--config PATH`: load configuration from `PATH` instead of `/usr/local/etc/weatherreporter/config.yml`.
-- `--units VALUE`: override configured Weather API units for `generate` and `run`.
-- `--tz NAME`: override configured Weather API timezone for `generate` and `run`.
-- `--out PATH`: write an extra Markdown report copy where supported by the `generate` command.
-- `--out-dir PATH`: write extra Markdown report copies for `run morning` and `run evening`.
-- `--date YYYY-MM-DD`: required date for `generate daily`; optional date for `generate today`, defaulting to the current local date in the configured timezone.
-- `--start TIME`: required start time for `generate storm`.
-- `--end TIME`: required end time for `generate storm`.
-- `--limit N`: maximum records for `inspect reports`; defaults to `20`, and `0` means no limit.
+Outputs are written atomically. A generation, rendering, write, or cancellation
+failure before publication leaves an existing destination unchanged. A
+notification failure occurs after publication, so the newly written output
+remains available.
 
-Storm times accept `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM` in the configured timezone or RFC3339
-timestamps with explicit offsets.
+`SIGINT` and `SIGTERM` cancel an active action. Weatherreporter lets that
+cancellation reach the action before exiting; when the action has a result, it
+emits the usual failed summary and exits nonzero. A canceled batch retains any
+reports that were already published, marks interrupted and unstarted reports
+as `canceled`, skips batch notification, and identifies cancellation separately
+from report failures.
 
-Distributor notification is configured only through `notify.distributor`; there
-are no distributor-specific CLI flags.
+Action commands (`generate`, `run`, and `compare`) write a JSON summary to
+stdout unless `--quiet` is set. `run` also writes compact per-report and batch
+status lines to stderr. A pre-run error, such as an invalid flag, missing
+required argument, or configuration-load failure, produces no partial JSON
+summary. When an action fails after it has produced a result, its summary has
+`"status": "failed"` and an `error` field.
 
-## Common Workflows
+`--quiet` is supported by action commands only. It suppresses action summaries
+and routine batch status output; it does not suppress command errors.
+
+### Generate Summary
+
+A generate summary identifies the command, report, run, generation time, valid
+period, prompt version, timezone, and status. Successful output has an absolute
+`outputPath`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "command": "generate",
+  "reportId": "today",
+  "promptId": "weather.today_generated_text",
+  "promptVersion": "2.1.0",
+  "runId": "20260529T120000.000000000Z_today",
+  "status": "succeeded",
+  "timezone": "America/Chicago",
+  "outputPath": "/srv/weather/today.md"
+}
+```
+
+When available, the summary also includes the effective `profileId`,
+`backendId`, `modelName`, `sourceWarnings`, `validationStatus`, requested
+`repairAttempts`, `llmDebugPath`, and compact Distributor `notification`
+result. `repairAttempts` is `0` when the initial output passed validation,
+positive when PromptKit made corrective generation calls, and omitted when
+validation did not complete. The summary does not
+include historical or transient artifact paths such as metadata, prompt input,
+raw generated text, render context, or notification receipts.
+
+### Run Summary And Stderr
+
+A run summary contains `command`, `batch`, `status`, `startedAt`, `finishedAt`,
+`total`, `succeeded`, `failed`, and a `reports` array. Each report item includes
+its identity, status, effective profile and model details when available,
+source warnings, validation status, repair-attempt count when validation
+completed, and absolute `outputPath` after publication.
+The top-level summary may also contain a batch `notification` object and
+`error`. Batch status is `failed` if any report or the batch notification fails.
+The `total`, `succeeded`, and `failed` counters describe report items only, so
+a failed batch notification can leave `failed` at `0` while the top-level
+notification and action status are `failed`.
+
+When cancellation stops a batch, the summary also includes a nonzero
+`canceled` count. Canceled reports have `"status": "canceled"`; they are not
+included in `failed`, and the action still has failed status and exits nonzero.
+
+Without `--quiet`, batch status lines use this form:
+
+```text
+report=today status=succeeded output="/srv/weather/reports/today.md"
+batch=morning total=2 succeeded=2 failed=0 canceled=0
+```
+
+### Compare Summary
+
+A comparison summary contains these fields in this order: `command`,
+`comparisonId`, `reportId`, `reportName`, `promptId`, `promptVersion`,
+`promptHash`, `status`, `startedAt`, `finishedAt`, `timezone`, `validPeriod`,
+`outputDirectory`, `manifestPath`, `dataPackagePath`, `total`, `succeeded`,
+`failed`, `results`, and optional `error`. Published artifact paths and each
+successful `results[].reportPath` are absolute. `results` preserves the
+supplied profile order and each item contains `position`, `profileId`, optional
+`backendId`, `modelName`, `status`, optional `validationStatus`, optional
+`repairAttempts`, optional `reportPath`, optional `llmDebugPath`, and optional
+safe `error`. The repair-attempt semantics match the generate summary.
+
+The comparison status is `succeeded` only when every selected profile succeeds
+and the bundle is published. Individual profile failures still publish a
+complete partial bundle and return a failed command result. Cancellation or a
+failure before publication omits the artifact paths and returns a safe
+top-level error; the resolved `outputDirectory` and finalized timestamp remain
+when available. The safe error includes only a category and message: aggregate
+and unclassified application failures use `application`; cancellation uses
+`canceled`; deadlines use `deadline_exceeded`; prompt execution uses its
+published Promptkit category; destination failures use `destination_<kind>`;
+and committed cleanup failures use `publication_cleanup` with a message that
+states whether a complete prior bundle, partial remnants, or no prior bundle
+remains, or that recovery state could not be inspected. It does not expose
+provider diagnostics, filesystem causes, or recovery paths. A provider HTTP
+failure may include its numeric status in the safe message. See the
+[comparison bundle contract](integrations/comparison-bundle.md) for durable
+artifact fields and failure invariants.
+
+If the bundle is published but cleanup of its replaced prior bundle fails, the
+summary still includes the published artifact paths and has status `failed`.
+Its JSON error is `publication_cleanup`; the returned command error identifies
+a recovery path only when cleanup left a sibling behind. Only a reported
+complete prior bundle is a rollback artifact.

-weatherreporter inspect metadata 20260529T100000.000000000Z_daily
-```
-
-`inspect reports` lists recent generated runs with artifact paths and source
-warning counts. The other inspect commands require a RunID. `inspect modules`
-returns the persisted ordered module snapshot for a run. `inspect prior`
-returns the prior comparable snapshot metadata selected from stored metadata, or
-`null` when none exists. `inspect sources` shows source provenance and source

 # Weatherreporter Configuration
 
-Configuration is YAML. By default, `weatherreporter` reads:

+
+## Minimal Configuration
 
 ```yaml
 weather_api:
   base_url: https://weather.api.example.com/
 ```
 
-`weather_api.base_url` is required for commands that collect weather data.
-Other fields fall back to defaults.
-
-## Production-Oriented Config
-
-See [examples/config.yml](../examples/config.yml). The example is loaded by the
-config test suite.
+`weather_api.base_url` is required for workflows that collect weather data.
+All omitted fields use their built-in defaults.
 
 ## Field Reference
 
 ### `weather_api`
 
-- `base_url`: absolute base URL for the Weather API. Required for generation and collection workflows.
-- `timeout`: HTTP timeout duration. Default: `10s`.
-- `precision`: numeric precision query value. Default: `1`.
-- `units`: Weather API units query value. Default: `us`.
-- `timezone`: report timezone and Weather API timezone query value where supported. Default: `America/Chicago`.
-- `format`: Weather API response format. Must be `json`. Default: `json`.
+| Field | Default | Rules |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `base_url` | empty | Absolute HTTP(S) Weather API URL. Required for collection and generation. |
+| `timeout` | `10s` | Must be greater than zero. |
+| `precision` | `0` | Must be zero or greater. Sent as the Weather API precision query value. |
+| `units` | `us` | Required Weather API units query value; `--units` overrides it for one command. |
+| `timezone` | `America/Chicago` | Required report and Weather API timezone; `--tz` overrides it for one command. |
+| `format` | `json` | Required and must be `json`. |
 
 Timezone values may be IANA names, configured aliases such as `Chicago` and
-`Stl`, US timezone abbreviations, or UTC offsets such as `-5` and `+09:30`.
+`Stl`, US timezone abbreviations, or signed UTC offsets such as `-5`, `+0930`,
+and `+09:30`. Numeric offsets require a sign, one or two hour digits, and an
+optional two-digit minute component with or without a colon. Hours must be
+from `00` through `23`, minutes from `00` through `59`, so the largest accepted
+offset magnitude is `23:59`.
 
 ### `location`
 
-`location` is descriptive prompt context included in module metadata and
-Scriptorium data packages. It does not select a Weather API endpoint or enable
-multiple configured forecast locations.
+`location` supplies descriptive prompt context; it does not choose a Weather
+API endpoint or configure multiple forecast locations.
 
-- `id`: short local identifier. Default: `home`.
-- `name`: human-readable location name. Default: `Brentwood`.
-- `region`: broader forecast area context. Default: `St. Louis Metro`.
+| Field | Default |
+| --- | --- |
+| `id` | `home` |
+| `name` | `Brentwood` |
+| `region` | `St. Louis Metro` |
 
-The prompt-facing location object also includes `timezone`, derived from the
-effective `weather_api.timezone` after CLI overrides such as `--tz`.
+The prompt-facing location timezone is derived from the effective
+`weather_api.timezone` after command-line overrides.
 
 ### `secrets`
 
-- `directory`: optional directory of file-backed environment secrets. Default:
-  empty, which disables secret loading.
+`secrets.directory` defaults to empty, which disables secret loading. When it
+is set, every regular file directly in that directory is staged after the file
+and command-line overrides, then applied only after the complete configuration
+has validated successfully. A rejected load leaves the existing environment
+unchanged. A file basename must match
+`[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*`; it becomes an environment variable name, and the
+file contents replace any existing value. One trailing LF or CRLF is removed.
 
-When configured, each regular file directly under `secrets.directory` is loaded
-after config file parsing and CLI overrides. The file basename must be a valid
-environment variable name matching `[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*`; the file contents
-become the environment variable value and overwrite any existing value. One
-trailing LF or CRLF is stripped. Subdirectories, symlinks, invalid filenames,
-missing directories, and unreadable files fail config loading.
+Missing directories, unreadable files, subdirectories, symlinks, non-regular
+files, and invalid names fail configuration loading. Put only secret values in
+this directory, never in the YAML file.
 
-### `notify`
+### `output`
 
-`notify.distributor` controls distributor uploads after successful report
-rendering. It is disabled by default and does not add CLI flags. When enabled,
-`generate <report>` uploads one distributor bundle for the generated report
-after final metadata is saved. `run morning` and `run evening` use
-`notify.distributor.batch`: when batch notification is enabled and every
-planned report succeeds, weatherreporter uploads one distributor bundle that
-contains all managed Markdown reports from that batch.
+`output.directory` selects the ordinary operator-owned publication directory
+for individual reports, batches, and the default parent of comparison bundles.
 
-- `enabled`: whether distributor notification config is active. Default:
-  `false`.
-- `endpoint`: absolute distributor endpoint URL. Required when enabled.
-  Default: `https://distributor.example.com`.
-- `token_env`: environment variable name that will contain the distributor
-  upload token. Required when enabled. Default: `DISTRIBUTOR_UPLOAD_TOKEN`.
-- `timeout`: distributor operation timeout. Must be greater than zero when
-  enabled. Default: `30s`.
-- `failure_policy`: must be `error` when enabled. Default: `error`.
-- `pipeline_id_template`: template for single-report distributor pipeline IDs.
-  Required when enabled. Default: empty.
-- `bundle_id_template`: template for single-report distributor bundle IDs.
-  Default: `weatherreporter.{location_id}.{report_id}`.
-- `idempotency_key_template`: template for single-report distributor
-  idempotency keys. Default: `{bundle_id}.{run_id}`.
-- `batch.enabled`: whether batch distributor notification config is active
-  when distributor notification is enabled. Default: `true`.
-- `batch.pipeline_id_template`: template for batch distributor pipeline IDs.
-  Required when distributor notification and batch notification are enabled.
-  Default: `weatherreporter`.
-- `batch.bundle_id_template`: template for batch distributor bundle IDs.
-  Required when distributor notification and batch notification are enabled.
-  Default: `weatherreporter.{location_id}.{batch}`.
-- `batch.idempotency_key_template`: template for batch distributor idempotency
-  keys. Required when distributor notification and batch notification are
-  enabled. Default: `{bundle_id}.{batch_run_id}`.
+| Field | Default | Rules |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `directory` | empty | An omitted or empty value uses the invocation working directory. A nonempty value must contain at least one non-whitespace character. |
 
-Single-report templates support `location_id`, `report_id`, `run_id`,
+The configured value is preserved while configuration loads: it is not cleaned,
+made absolute, inspected, created, or expanded through environment variables or
+a home-directory shortcut. At execution, an absolute directory is used as
+given; a relative directory resolves from the invocation working directory, not
+from the configuration file's location. A missing directory is created when a
+report is successfully published. An existing non-directory or an uninspectable
+path fails output preflight before prompt inspection, weather collection, or
+publication.
+
+For one `generate` command, `--out` is a complete file destination and takes
+precedence over `output.directory`. For `run`, `--out-dir` takes precedence.
+For `compare`, `--out-dir` selects its exact bundle directory; without it, the
+comparison's report-derived directory is placed beneath `output.directory`.
+Those explicit flags do not inspect or rebase beneath the configured directory.
+See the [CLI reference](cli.md) for command selection and the [operations
+guide](operations.md) for publication and failure handling.
+
+### `notify.distributor`
+
+Distributor notification is disabled by default. Its fields are:
+
+| Field | Default | Rules when notification is enabled |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `enabled` | `false` | Activates Distributor notification validation. |
+| `endpoint` | `https://distributor.example.com` | Must be an absolute HTTP(S) base URL with a host and no userinfo, query, or fragment. A path prefix is allowed. |
+| `token_env` | `DISTRIBUTOR_UPLOAD_TOKEN` | Must name a valid environment variable. |
+| `timeout` | `30s` | Must be greater than zero. |
+| `failure_policy` | `error` | Must be `error`. |
+| `pipeline_id_template` | empty | Required single-report pipeline ID template. |
+| `bundle_id_template` | `weatherreporter.{location_id}.{report_id}` | Required single-report bundle ID template. |
+| `idempotency_key_template` | `{bundle_id}.{run_id}` | Required single-report idempotency-key template. |
+| `batch.enabled` | `true` | Activates batch notification validation when Distributor notification is enabled. |
+| `batch.pipeline_id_template` | `weatherreporter` | Required when batch notification is enabled. |
+| `batch.bundle_id_template` | `weatherreporter.{location_id}.{batch}` | Required when batch notification is enabled. |
+| `batch.idempotency_key_template` | `{bundle_id}.{batch_run_id}` | Required when batch notification is enabled. |
+
+The upload token is read from the environment variable named by `token_env`.
+Use `secrets.directory` when a file-backed secret is appropriate.
+
+When notification is enabled, Weatherreporter validates the Distributor endpoint
+before prompt inspection, weather collection, or output publication. Use an
+HTTP(S) base URL such as `https://distributor.example.com/archive`; do not put
+credentials, a query string, or a fragment in the endpoint.
+
+When notification is enabled, each rendered single-report pipeline ID, bundle
+ID, and idempotency key must contain at least one non-whitespace character.
+
+Single-report bundle templates accept `location_id`, `report_id`, `run_id`,
 `artifact_group`, `batch_output_name`, `valid_start_date`, `valid_end_date`,
 `valid_start_time`, `valid_end_time`, `valid_start_stamp`, `valid_end_stamp`,
-and `storm_id`. Date values use `YYYY-MM-DD`, time values use `HHMM`, and
-stamp values use `YYYY-MM-DDTHHMM` in the effective report timezone.
-`storm_id` is derived from the storm report valid period as
-`{valid_start_stamp}-{valid_end_stamp}`; it renders empty for non-storm
-reports. `pipeline_id_template` and `idempotency_key_template` may also use
-`bundle_id`.
+Pipeline and idempotency-key templates may also use `bundle_id`. Dates use
+`YYYY-MM-DD`; times use `HHMM`; and stamps use `YYYY-MM-DDTHHMM` in the
+effective report timezone.
 
-The rendered pipeline ID selects the configured distributor `http_upload`
-workflow. The rendered bundle ID is the stable logical source identity for the
-report stream. The rendered idempotency key is the per-run retry identity.
+Batch bundle and pipeline templates accept `location_id`, `batch`,
+`batch_run_id`, and `batch_started_date`; batch idempotency-key templates may
+also use `bundle_id`. `batch_started_date` is the batch start date in the
+effective report timezone.
 
-Batch templates support `location_id`, `batch`, `batch_run_id`, and
-`batch_started_date`. Batch idempotency templates may also use `bundle_id`.
-`batch_started_date` is the batch start date in the effective report timezone.
-Batch bundle IDs identify a logical batch stream; batch idempotency keys
-identify a specific retryable batch attempt.
+`reports.<report>.distributor.path_templates` overrides the default ordered
+Distributor paths for that report. Each rendered path must be a unique relative
+path with `/` separators. Backslashes, empty segments, `.` and `..` segments,
+`manifest.json`, and the reserved Distributor sidecar basename are rejected.
+The default paths are:
 
-Rendered report paths must be unique relative paths with `/` separators. They
-must not contain backslashes, empty path segments, `.`, `..`, `manifest.json`,
-or `.distributor.json`. In a batch upload, uniqueness is checked across every
-rendered bundle path for every included report before distributor is called.
-Managed Markdown report paths are the only upload source files; copies written
-with `--out` or `--out-dir` are never uploaded.
+| Report | Paths |
+| --- | --- |
+| `hourly` | `hourly/index.md` |
+| `daily` | `daily/{valid_start_date}/{run_id}.md`, `daily/{valid_start_date}/index.md` |
+| `today` | `daily/{valid_start_date}/{run_id}.md`, `daily/{valid_start_date}/index.md`, `today/index.md` |
+| `tomorrow` | `daily/{valid_start_date}/{run_id}.md`, `daily/{valid_start_date}/index.md`, `tomorrow/index.md` |
 
-Distributor bundle paths are report-specific. Weatherreporter uses
-`reports.<report>.distributor.path_templates` when that override is configured;
-otherwise it uses the report definition defaults:
-
-- `hourly`: `hourly/index.md`
-- `daily`: `daily/{valid_start_date}/{run_id}.md`, `daily/{valid_start_date}/index.md`
-- `today`: `daily/{valid_start_date}/{run_id}.md`, `daily/{valid_start_date}/index.md`, `today/index.md`
-- `tomorrow`: `daily/{valid_start_date}/{run_id}.md`, `daily/{valid_start_date}/index.md`, `tomorrow/index.md`
-- `three_day`: `three-day/{valid_start_date}/{run_id}.md`, `three-day/{valid_start_date}/index.md`
-- `weekend`: `weekend/{valid_start_date}/{run_id}.md`, `weekend/{valid_start_date}/index.md`
-- `storm`: `storm/{storm_id}/{run_id}.md`, `storm/{storm_id}/index.md`
-
-The upload token is read from the environment variable named by `token_env`
-after config loading and `secrets.directory` processing. Config files should
-name the variable only; they should not contain the token value.
+See the [operations guide](operations.md) for notification timing, uploaded
+output selection, and failure handling.
 
 ### `missing_source`
 
-- `default`: missing-source behavior for optional sources. One of `error`, `warn`, or `none`. Default: `warn`.
-- `sources`: optional map of source-specific overrides, using the same policy values.
-
-Hourly forecast data is required for generated reports. Optional sources use
-the missing-source policy. Source override keys include `observations`,
+`missing_source.default` defaults to `warn` and accepts `error`, `warn`, or
+`none`. `missing_source.sources` optionally overrides that policy by source.
+Hourly forecast data is required for generated reports and cannot have a
+source-specific policy. Supported optional source keys are `observations`,
 `current`, `narrative`, `alerts`, `discussion`, `weather_story`, and
-`spc_convective_outlooks`.
+`spc_convective_outlooks`; any other key is rejected.
 
-### `scriptorium`
+### `promptkit`
 
-- `binary`: `scriptorium` executable name or path. Default: `scriptorium`.
-- `config_path`: optional Scriptorium config path passed to the adapter.
-- `profile`: optional Scriptorium profile passed to the adapter.
-- `timeout`: subprocess timeout. Default: `2m`.
-- `extra_args`: optional additional arguments passed to Scriptorium commands.
+Promptkit configuration selects the executor and prompt/profile checks for
+every `generate`, `run`, and `compare` command. A top-level `scriptorium:` configuration
+key is rejected with a migration error; it is not translated or ignored.
 
-### `workspace`
+Prompt debug capture has no YAML setting. Use `--llm-debug-dir PATH` on an
+individual `generate`, `run`, or `compare` command when explicitly needed.
+See [optional prompt debug capture](operations.md#optional-prompt-debug-capture)
+for platform availability, security, and retention requirements.
 
-- `root`: workspace root for managed artifacts. Default: `workspace`.
-- `snapshots_dir`: module snapshot and metadata directory under `workspace.root`. Default: `snapshots`.
-- `reports_dir`: managed Markdown report directory under `workspace.root`. Default: `reports`.
-- `data_packages_dir`: prompt input package directory under `workspace.root`. Default: `data-packages`.
-- `preflight_dir`: Scriptorium render output directory under `workspace.root`. Default: `preflight`.
-- `notifications_dir`: distributor notification debug artifact directory under `workspace.root`. Default: `notifications`.
+| Field | Default | Rules |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `profile` | empty | Optional global profile selection for every report in one command. When empty, each exact prompt version selects its declared default. |
+| `profile_file` | empty | Optional external Promptkit profile file. It cannot be combined with `profile_dir`. A same-ID profile completely replaces Weatherreporter's embedded definition. |
+| `profile_dir` | empty | Optional external Promptkit profile directory. It cannot be combined with `profile_file`. A same-ID profile completely replaces Weatherreporter's embedded definition. |
+| `timeout` | `2m` | Must be greater than zero. |
+| `local.endpoint` | empty | Optional absolute URL for the conventional local backend. A blank endpoint leaves it unregistered. |
+| `local.concurrency_limit` | `1` | Maximum local backend concurrency. `0` is unlimited; negative values are invalid. |
 
-Workspace subdirectories must be relative paths that stay inside
-`workspace.root`.
+`profile` selects an ID; `profile_file` and `profile_dir` supply definitions.
+They are separate decisions. An explicit `profile` applies to every selected
+report. Otherwise Hourly selects `weather-light`, while Daily, Today, and
+Tomorrow select `weather-balanced` through their exact `2.1.0` prompt
+definitions.
+
+Promptkit resolves a selected profile definition from a test or embedding
+consumer's explicit in-memory profile, then the configured `profile_file` or
+`profile_dir`, then Weatherreporter's embedded catalog, and finally Promptkit's
+built-in catalog. Weatherreporter's embedded `weather-*` definitions are small
+aliases of Promptkit's maintained base profiles, so Promptkit also resolves
+their inherited target and settings. A configured definition with the same ID
+as either a selected profile or an inherited base takes precedence. A matching
+malformed external profile fails rather than using the embedded definition. The
+[Promptkit integration guide](integrations/promptkit.md) owns the catalog and
+precedence details.
+
+An endpoint-only profile may intentionally have no backend identity. Profiles
+that require a direct API key are rejected before collection, while Promptkit
+resolves optional environment credential sources during execution.
+
+To replace the default Hourly definition with a local OpenAI-compatible
+endpoint, set `profile_file` to a copy of
+[weather-light-local-profile.yml](../examples/weather-light-local-profile.yml).
+The example has no credential and should be edited for the local endpoint and
+model before use. An alternative profile may use `backend: local`; in that
+case `promptkit.local.endpoint` supplies the conventional local backend
+endpoint.
 
 ### `dayparts`
 
-`dayparts` is a list of named local-time windows used by forecast derivation.
-Each entry has:
+`dayparts` is a non-empty list of named local-time windows used in forecast
+derivation. Every item needs `name`, `start`, and `end`; start and end use
+`HH:MM`. Defaults are `overnight` (`00:00`–`06:00`), `morning`
+(`06:00`–`10:00`), `midday` (`10:00`–`15:00`), `afternoon`
+(`15:00`–`17:00`), and `evening` (`17:00`–`24:00`).
 
-- `name`
-- `start`
-- `end`
-
-`start` and `end` use `HH:MM`. The default entries are overnight, morning,
-midday, afternoon, and evening.
-
-### `recent_change`
-
-- `temperature_degrees`: temperature change threshold. Default: `5`.
-- `precip_probability_points`: precipitation probability threshold. Default: `20`.
-- `wind_gust_miles_per_hour`: wind gust change threshold. Default: `10`.
-- `precip_timing_shift_minutes`: precipitation timing shift threshold. Default: `120`.
-
-Recent Changes are added to prompt input when a prior comparable module
-snapshot exists and a threshold is crossed.
+Names remain display text, but each name must have a distinct canonical
+identity. Canonicalization trims whitespace, lowercases letters, and collapses
+punctuation and whitespace to underscores; for example, `Morning`,
+`morning!`, and `morning` conflict. Planning recognizes the canonical
+identities `morning`, `afternoon`, `evening`, and `overnight` regardless of
+their display capitalization or punctuation.
 
 ### `reports`
 
-`reports` optionally overrides the ordered deterministic modules declared by
-report definitions. Omit a report entry to use its default module order.
+`reports` optionally overrides a report's ordered deterministic modules and
+Distributor path templates. Omit a report entry to retain its defaults.
 
-Supported report keys are `daily`, `today`, `tomorrow`, `hourly`,
-`three_day`, `weekend`, and `storm`. Canonical report IDs and accepted aliases
-are also valid, including `three_day_outlook`, `weekend_outlook`, and
-`storm_report`. Hyphens and underscores are treated equivalently in report
-keys. Retired report keys are not supported.
+Supported report keys are `daily`, `today`, `tomorrow`, and `hourly`. Keys are
+trimmed, case-folded to lowercase, and normalize hyphens to underscores before
+lookup.
 
-`reports.today` applies only to the Today Report. `reports.daily` applies only
-to the dated Daily Report.
+Each report entry can contain:
 
-Each report entry supports:
+- `deterministic_modules`: an ordered list of module IDs, or objects with `id`
+  and optional `options`.
+- `distributor.path_templates`: an optional, non-empty ordered list of
+  Distributor paths for that report.
 
-- `deterministic_modules`: ordered module list. Entries may be string module
-  IDs or objects with `id` and optional `options`.
-- `distributor.path_templates`: optional ordered distributor bundle path
-  templates for this report. If omitted, the report definition defaults are
-  used. If present, the list must contain at least one template.
-
-Example:
-
-```yaml
-reports:
-  daily:
-    distributor:
-      path_templates:
-        - "daily/{valid_start_date}/{run_id}.md"
-        - "daily/{valid_start_date}/index.md"
-    deterministic_modules:
-      - metadata

+# Development
+
+This is the first-read guide for people and coding agents working on
+Weatherreporter. It provides a concise repository orientation and routes each
+kind of change to its canonical documentation.
+
+Weatherreporter is a Go CLI that collects normalized weather data, derives
+deterministic report facts and module snapshots, executes Promptkit for
+single-report generated text, renders Markdown reports, and can upload completed
+operator-owned outputs through Distributor. Start with the [README](../README.md) for product
+context and the [architecture policy](policy/architecture.md) for system
+boundaries and invariants.
+
+## What To Read
+
+| When working on | Read | Why |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Product behavior or the shortest useful workflow | [README](../README.md), [CLI reference](cli.md), and [operations guide](operations.md) | These own product orientation, invocation, and normal operation. |
+| Application shape, package boundaries, dependency direction, safety properties, or architectural invariants | [Architecture policy](policy/architecture.md) and relevant ADRs under `docs/adr/`, when present | Architecture defines the intended system; ADRs preserve significant decision rationale. |
+| Any documentation addition, revision, move, or removal | [Documentation policy](policy/documentation.md) | It defines canonical owners, audience boundaries, current-state rules, and document lifecycle. |
+| Adding, changing, reviewing, or deleting tests | [Testing policy](policy/testing.md) and focused package tests | The policy defines risk-based sufficiency, durable test boundaries, doubles, and test-maintenance criteria. |
+| CLI commands, flags, output, quiet mode, or command wiring | [CLI reference](cli.md) and [CLI internals](internal/cli.md) | The reference owns the user contract; the internal guide owns command composition and output flow. |
+| Configuration fields, defaults, loading, overrides, validation, or secrets | [Configuration reference](config.md), [architecture policy](policy/architecture.md), and tests under `internal/config` | These separate the user-visible contract, architectural rules, and executable behavior. |

+| Report definitions, valid periods, report IDs, output naming, or batch composition | [Report registry internals](internal/report-registry.md) and [app orchestration internals](internal/app-orchestration.md) | Report definitions own selection and period rules; orchestration owns execution. |
+| Module IDs, module composition, briefing values, or prompt-facing exports | [Module contract internals](internal/module.md), [module builder internals](internal/briefing.md), and [prompt-input internals](internal/prompt-input.md) | These own module contracts, value construction, and the curated prompt-package boundary. |
+| Prompt execution, profiles, prepared report inputs, or result handling | `internal/promptexec`, the Promptkit adapter, [prepared report internals](internal/prepared-report.md), and [prompt-input internals](internal/prompt-input.md) | These separate the executor contract, immutable preparation, and input construction. |
+| Durable comparison bundles or their compatibility | [Comparison bundle contract](integrations/comparison-bundle.md) and [comparison publication internals](internal/comparison-publication.md) | The integration document owns the external schema; internals own how it is published. |
+| Generated-text schemas, validation, render contexts, templates, or Markdown rendering | [Generated-text internals](internal/generatedtext.md), [report-template internals](internal/reporttemplate.md), and [report template guide](templates.md) | These own structured text, renderer implementation, and the maintainer-facing template surface. |

+implemented subsystem behavior.
+
+## Contributor Workflow
+
+1. Read the documents and focused tests identified by the task guide.
+2. Use focused package checks while iterating.
+3. Run `gofmt -w` on changed Go files.
+4. Update the canonical documentation and maintained examples in the same
+   change when behavior changes.
+5. Run repository-wide validation before considering the work complete.
+
+Preserve actionable error context, keep secrets out of logs and fixtures, and
+avoid validation that requires live Weather API, Promptkit providers, or Distributor
+services. The architecture and testing policies own the detailed rules.
+
+## Baseline Validation
+
+Run:
+
+```sh
+go test ./...
+go run ./cmd/weatherreporter --help
+git diff --check
+```
+
+Use focused package tests during development and add broader or race-enabled
+checks when required by the [testing policy](policy/testing.md) and the risks of
+the change.

+# Comparison Bundle Contract
+
+A comparison bundle is the durable, flat artifact produced when one report is
+executed with multiple explicit Promptkit profiles. This document is the
+canonical contract for consumers of those bundles. Command invocation and JSON
+action summaries belong to the [CLI reference](../cli.md); destination handling
+and retention belong to the [operations guide](../operations.md).
+
+## Version And Layout
+
+The current and only supported manifest schema version is
+`weatherreporter.comparison.v2`. A bundle directory contains exactly these
+regular, non-symlinked files:
+
+```text
+comparison.json
+data-package.yml
+NN-profile-slug.md
+```
+
+`comparison.json` is the manifest and `data-package.yml` is the exact YAML
+input supplied to every selected profile. There is one Markdown file for each
+successful result and none for failed results. `NN` is the one-based selected
+profile position, zero padded to at least two digits (and widened only when
+needed for 100 or more profiles). The profile slug preserves ASCII letters,
+digits, `-`, and `_`; each run of other characters becomes one `-`; edge `-`
+and `_` characters are removed; the value is capped at 64 bytes; and an empty
+slug becomes `profile`. Logical profile IDs remain authoritative in the
+manifest.
+
+All manifest paths are basenames relative to the bundle root. They never use
+path separators, `.` or `..`. The CLI reports absolute paths only after a
+bundle has been published.
+
+## Manifest Schema
+
+The manifest is UTF-8 JSON, encoded as two-space-indented JSON with one
+trailing newline. Its fields appear in this order:
+
+```text
+schemaVersion, comparisonId, startedAt, finishedAt, reportId, validPeriod,
+timezone, promptId, promptVersion, promptHash, dataPackage, total, succeeded,
+failed, results
+```
+
+`validPeriod` contains `start` and `end`; it is a nonempty half-open period.
+`dataPackage` contains `path` (always `data-package.yml`) and `sha256` (the
+lowercase, 64-character SHA-256 digest of that file's exact bytes). `results`
+is in the explicit profile-selection order. Its result-object fields appear in
+this order:
+
+```text
+position, profileId, backendId, modelName, status, validationStatus,
+repairAttempts, reportPath, error
+```
+
+`startedAt` and `finishedAt` are nonzero UTC timestamps, and the latter is not
+earlier than the former. `validPeriod` retains its resolved time offset.
+`reportId`, `timezone`, prompt identity, model name, and comparison ID are
+nonblank. `promptHash` and `dataPackage.sha256` are lowercase SHA-256 digests.
+
+## Result Invariants
+
+`total` is at least two and equals the number of results. Positions are
+contiguous from one, profile IDs are distinct and nonblank, and
+`succeeded + failed == total`.
+
+A successful result has `status: "succeeded"`, `validationStatus: "passed"`,
+and a non-negative `repairAttempts` count,
+a `reportPath` exactly equal to the canonical `NN-profile-slug.md` filename for
+its position, total, and logical profile ID, and no `error`. A failed result has
+`status: "failed"`, no `reportPath`, and an `error` object with nonblank
+`category` and `message`. Its validation status is absent, `failed`, or
+`skipped`; it may also be `passed` when a WeatherReporter step after PromptKit
+validation failed. Error messages are valid UTF-8 and no longer than 1,024 bytes.
+`backendId` and `validationStatus` are omitted when unavailable. A failed
+result with any completed validation status must retain its non-negative
+`repairAttempts`; early operational failures omit both fields.
+
+Every successful Markdown file is declared by exactly one successful result.
+The directory contains no extra entries. Consumers can therefore verify the
+data-package digest and the full manifest-to-file mapping without scanning a
+larger workspace.
+
+## Compatibility And Sensitivity
+
+Weatherreporter recognizes a replaceable bundle only when it exactly satisfies
+the current version, schema, file set, file types, relative-path rules, and
+data-package digest. JSON field names are case-sensitive canonical names and a
+field may appear only once in each manifest object. It rejects unknown,
+case-variant, or duplicate fields; multiple JSON values; extra entries;
+symlinks; and future or otherwise unsupported versions. Treat a bundle that
+fails recognition as an ordinary directory, not as a compatible bundle.
+
+Only v2 is recognized as a replaceable bundle; v1 is unsupported and must be
+moved or removed before a replacement at the same destination. When replacing
+a recognized bundle, cancellation observed before the new
+bundle is installed preserves the prior bundle rather than committing the
+replacement.
+
+Cleanup of a prior bundle occurs only after its replacement is committed and
+does not affect the new bundle's compatibility. A cleanup error may identify a
+complete recovery bundle, partial remnants, no remaining sibling, or an
+uninspectable state; this operational state is not recorded in the manifest.
+
+The manifest contains safe operational provenance, but `data-package.yml` and
+the generated Markdown can contain sensitive weather or location context. Do
+not assume these artifacts are safe for public distribution. Handle retention,
+access, and deletion according to the [operations guide](../operations.md).

-# Upstream Producer Integration
+# Distributor HTTP Upload Contract
 
-Audience: developers and LLM coding agents adding `distributor` support to an upstream Go producer application.
+Weatherreporter integrates with the HTTP upload API provided by
+`gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/distributor v0.5.0`. It submits source bundles to
+a configured pipeline and reads the resulting run status. Configuration fields
+and notification lifecycle are documented in the [configuration reference](../../config.md)
+and [operations guide](../../operations.md).
 
-This document is the copyable implementation guide for submitting producer outputs to a `distributor` pipeline whose source backend is `http_upload`.
+## Upload Admission
 
-## Required Inputs
+Weatherreporter uses an absolute HTTP(S) endpoint with a host as a base URL.
+It allows a path prefix but rejects userinfo, query strings, and fragments
+before local report work begins. The client posts a gzip-compressed source
+bundle to:
 
-The upstream application needs these values from deployment or operator configuration:
-
-- distributor endpoint: the HTTP server base URL, such as `https://distributor.example.com`;
-- upload token: bearer token that authenticates the producer;
-- pipeline id: configured `http_upload` pipeline that should process this upload;
-- generated files: regular local files to include in the source bundle;
-- bundle id: stable identifier for the logical report stream or artifact;
-- idempotency key: unique key for one producer run, reused only when retrying that same run.
-
-Do not put destination routing, public URLs, transform settings, or credentials in the source manifest. Those belong in the `distributor` pipeline configuration.
-
-The token, pipeline id, bundle id, and idempotency key have different jobs. The token authenticates the producer. The pipeline id selects the configured distributor workflow, including destinations and publishing policy. The bundle id tells `distributor` whether a new upload is a newer version of the same source; keep it stable across runs that should replace the same managed destination artifact. The idempotency key tells `distributor` whether an upload request is a retry; change it for each distinct producer run so new content is enqueued.
-
-## Recommended Workflow
-
-Use `gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/distributor/pkg/upload`.
-
-For most producers, use `UploadFiles`. It accepts producer-generated files, builds a temporary valid source bundle with `pkg/bundle`, uploads a gzip-compressed tar archive, and removes temporary files when the call returns.
-
-Use `UploadBundle` only when the producer already assembled a complete bundle directory containing `manifest.json`.
-
-Add the dependency from the upstream application:
-
-```sh
-go get gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/distributor
+```text
+POST /v1/pipelines/<pipeline_id>/upload
+Authorization: Bearer <token>
+Content-Type: application/gzip
+Idempotency-Key: <key>
 ```
 
-## Minimal Go Example
+The authenticated token must be allowed to use the selected upload pipeline.
+A successful response is `202 Accepted` with JSON containing `run_id` and
+`status`. Acceptance means Distributor staged and validated the source bundle;
+it does not mean downstream destinations have published it.
 
-```go
-package reports
+The adapter requires nonblank pipeline ID, bundle ID, and idempotency key, plus
+at least one source-file mapping, before calling Distributor. It reads the bearer token from
+the configured environment variable and redacts that value from errors. Request
+construction and timeout handling belong to the [Distributor adapter](../../internal/distributor-adapter.md).
 
-import (
-	"context"
-	"errors"
-	"fmt"
-	"os"
-	"time"
+Weatherreporter reads at most 1 MiB from each Distributor response. An
+oversized response fails notification with a stable local diagnostic. Normal
+Weatherreporter results retain upload and status identity but do not repeat
+Distributor response bodies, status reports, or remote error text.
 
-	"gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/distributor/pkg/bundle"

-	token := os.Getenv("DISTRIBUTOR_UPLOAD_TOKEN")
-	if endpoint == "" || token == "" {
-		return fmt.Errorf("distributor endpoint and token are required")
-	}
+Distributor scopes idempotency to the token, pipeline ID, and key. Keys must be
+non-empty ASCII values of at most 128 bytes using letters, digits, `.`, `_`,
+`-`, and `:`. Weatherreporter always supplies a rendered key; it does not rely
+on the client library's generated-key fallback.

+Reusing a key for the same normalized source manifest returns the original

 ```
 
-## Producer Responsibilities
+The status record provides `run_id`, `pipeline_id`, status timestamps, optional
+JSON `report`, and an `error` for failures. Statuses are `accepted`, `queued`,
+`running`, `succeeded`, and `failed`. A terminal `failed` status makes the
+notification fail; the adapter preserves the returned status details for the
+application to record.
 
-- Use a stable bundle id for the logical producer output that should replace the same destination artifact, such as `weather.hourly.brentwood`.
-- Set `PipelineID` to the configured upload pipeline that should process the bundle.
-- Do not include per-run timestamps, random values, or job ids in the bundle id unless each run should be treated as a different source.
-- Use an idempotency key that changes for every distinct producer run, such as `<bundle-id>.<run-id>`.
-- Reuse the same idempotency key only when retrying the exact same producer run with the same source manifest.
-- Map each generated file to a clean slash-separated bundle path, such as `report.md` or `assets/chart.png`.
-- Include only regular files. Symlinks, directories as files, devices, FIFOs, and sockets are rejected.
-- Keep file contents stable after upload inputs are selected. Bundle digests are calculated from file bytes.
-- Treat upload success as admission only. `UploadFiles` and `UploadBundle` return after the server accepts and validates the upload, not after all destinations publish.
+Run and idempotency records are in-memory. Completed records expire according
+to Distributor's `server.http.retention`, and a Distributor restart removes
+retained status and idempotency state. Status polling decisions are internal
+orchestration behavior; see the
+[Distributor adapter](../../internal/distributor-adapter.md) and
+[application orchestration](../../internal/app-orchestration.md).
 
-Valid bundle paths are relative slash paths. They must not be empty, absolute, contain backslashes, contain `.` or `..` path segments, contain empty path segments, or use reserved basenames `manifest.json` or `.distributor.json`.
+## Compatibility Reference
 
-## Idempotency And Status
-
-`pkg/upload` sends `Idempotency-Key` on every upload. If the caller omits one, the package generates a random key for that call and reuses it for in-process retries. That is enough for transient network retry within one process, but it does not give cross-process retry identity.
-
-For producer jobs that may retry after process restart, supply a key derived from the producer run, such as `<bundle-id>.<run-id>`. Reusing the same key with the same token, pipeline id, and normalized source manifest returns the original accepted run. Reusing the same key with different source content in that scope returns a conflict. Reusing one key across multiple distinct report generations prevents those generations from being treated as new uploads.
-
-`Status` polls `/runs/<run-id>` while the distributor server retains the in-memory status record. Status values are `accepted`, `queued`, `running`, `succeeded`, and `failed`. Completed records expire according to the server's `server.http.retention` setting, and server restart clears status and idempotency records.
-
-Optional status check:
-
-```go
-status, err := client.Status(ctx, result.RunID)
-if err != nil {
-	return err
-}
-if status.Status == "failed" {
-	return fmt.Errorf("distributor run failed: %s", status.Error)
-}

-# `pkg/bundle`
+# Distributor Source Bundle Mapping
 
-Audience: upstream Go producer developers and LLM coding agents using `distributor` source bundle helpers.
+Weatherreporter uses the source-bundle format through Distributor's
+`pkg/upload.UploadFiles` helper. It does not create bundle directories or call
+`pkg/bundle` directly. The helper creates a temporary bundle, writes and
+validates `manifest.json`, archives it, and removes the temporary bundle when
+the upload call returns.
 
-Import path:
+## File Mappings
 
-```go
-import "gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/distributor/pkg/bundle"
-```
+Every mapping pairs an operator-owned Markdown output with one bundle-relative
+path. A single-report notification maps its published output to each rendered
+path configured for that report. A batch notification combines mappings for
+every included published output and rejects duplicate bundle paths.
 
-`pkg/bundle` builds, writes, parses, and validates local source bundles. Use it directly when a producer writes bundles for `distributor` to discover, or when a producer wants to assemble and validate a bundle before using another transport.
+The report source is the output selected for that command; the application does
+not scan local directories. It renders notification paths after publication;
+see the [operations guide](../../operations.md) and the
+[Distributor adapter](../../internal/distributor-adapter.md) for the boundary.
 
-The canonical source bundle file-format contract is [Source Bundle Contract](../integrations/source-bundle.md).
+Bundle paths must be clean, relative, slash-separated paths. They cannot be
+empty or absolute, contain backslashes, empty segments, `.` or `..`, or use
+`manifest.json` or `.distributor.json` as a basename. The mapped source must be
+a regular file. File mapping order is preserved and affects the bundle digest.
 
-## Preferred Complete-Bundle Workflow
+The bundle manifest uses schema version `1`, carries the rendered bundle ID and
+creation time, and records each mapped file's path, SHA-256 digest, and size.
+Destination routing, publication, and Distributor-managed destination state are
+not source-bundle fields.
 
-Use `WriteBundle` when producer-generated files live outside the final bundle root.
+## Compatibility Reference
 
-```go
-manifest, err := bundle.WriteBundle(bundle.WriteBundleOptions{
-	Root: "/var/spool/distributor/weather/hourly-2026-06-07T15",
-	ID:   "weather.hourly.brentwood",
-	Files: []bundle.BundleFile{
-		{SourcePath: "/tmp/weather/report.md", Path: "report.md"},
-		{SourcePath: "/tmp/weather/summary.txt", Path: "summary.txt"},
-	},
-})
-if err != nil {
-	return err
-}
-_ = manifest
-```
-
-`WriteBundle` copies each source file into a staged bundle root, writes `manifest.json`, validates the staged bundle, and promotes it into place. Set `Overwrite: true` only when the producer intentionally replaces an existing bundle root.
-
-## Existing Bundle Root Workflow
-
-Use `BuildManifest` and `WriteManifest` when files are already staged under the final bundle root.
-
-```go

-```
-
-Use `Scan: true` instead of `Files` only when every valid regular file under the root should be included. Scan mode includes dotfiles, skips reserved metadata files, rejects symlinks, and sorts paths lexically.
-
-## Paths And Ordering
-
-Bundle paths are slash-separated paths relative to the bundle root.
-
-Invalid paths include:
-
-- empty paths;
-- absolute paths;
-- paths containing backslashes;
-- `.` or `..` path segments;
-- empty path segments;
-- any basename of `manifest.json` or `.distributor.json`.
-
-Explicit file lists preserve caller order. File order is part of the bundle digest, so producers should choose it deliberately and keep it stable.
-
-The manifest `ID` is the logical source identity used by `distributor` destination comparison. Keep it stable for runs that should replace the same managed destination artifact. If every run uses a different manifest `ID`, `distributor` treats those runs as different sources and may report a destination conflict instead of replacing older output.
-
-## Validation And Digest Helpers
-
-Use `ValidateBundle` before handing an existing local bundle to another process. It verifies manifest semantics, file existence, regular-file type, file size, per-file SHA-256 digests, and bundle digest.
-
-Useful helpers:
-
-- `LoadManifest`: read `manifest.json` from a bundle root.
-- `ParseManifest` and `MarshalManifest`: parse or write manifest bytes.
-- `ValidateManifest`: validate manifest-only semantics.
-- `FileDigest`, `BundleDigest`, and `ValidateDigest`: digest helpers for diagnostics and tests.
-
-## Boundaries
-
-`pkg/bundle` does not upload bundles, publish destinations, transform Markdown, select pipelines, configure credentials, or write destination state. Those concerns belong to `pkg/upload` or the `distributor` application.
+The upstream canonical file-format contract is
+`docs/integrations/source-bundle.md` in the Distributor repository. It defines
+the complete manifest and archive format; this page records only the mapping and
+path constraints Weatherreporter relies on.

-# `pkg/upload`
+# Distributor Upload Client Contract
 
-Audience: upstream Go producer developers and LLM coding agents submitting bundles to `distributor serve`.
+Weatherreporter uses `gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/distributor/pkg/upload` at
+the pinned module version `v0.5.0`. It constructs one client per notification
+attempt and calls `UploadFiles`, followed by `Status` for the accepted run.
 
-Import path:
+## Client And Upload
 
-```go
-import "gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/distributor/pkg/upload"
-```
+The adapter constructs the client with the prevalidated HTTP(S) endpoint,
+bearer token, and an HTTP client whose timeout is the configured Distributor
+timeout. The endpoint may include a path prefix but never userinfo, a query, or
+a fragment. It passes no custom retry options, so the pinned client's defaults
+apply: three attempts, 100 ms base delay, and one-second maximum delay.
+The adapter bounds every response to 1 MiB before handing it to the pinned
+client. A response above that boundary is rejected as a local overflow rather
+than decoding or retaining a prefix.
 
-`pkg/upload` is the producer-facing HTTP upload client. It builds on `pkg/bundle`, packages valid source bundles as gzip-compressed tar archives, sends bearer authentication, routes uploads to a configured pipeline, includes idempotency keys, and exposes a status polling helper.
+For each notification, Weatherreporter calls `UploadFiles` with:
 
-`UploadFiles` examples also use:
+- the rendered pipeline ID;
+- the rendered bundle ID as the source manifest ID;
+- the report or batch generation time as `Created`;
+- the published-output-to-bundle-path mappings described in the
+  [bundle mapping contract](pkg-bundle.md); and
+- a rendered idempotency key.
 
-```go
-import "gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/distributor/pkg/bundle"
-```
+It leaves bundle validation enabled. `UploadFiles` creates the temporary source
+bundle and sends it as a gzip-compressed tar archive; Weatherreporter does not
+call `UploadBundle` or submit prebuilt bundle roots.
 
-The canonical HTTP wire contract is [HTTP Upload API Contract](../integrations/http-upload.md).
+## Retry, Conflict, And Status
 
-## Client Construction
+The pinned upload client retries only `503 Service Unavailable` and retryable
+network failures. It does not retry successful `202` responses or other HTTP
+errors. Because every Weatherreporter request supplies an idempotency key, a
+retry keeps the same upload identity.
 
-```go
-client, err := upload.NewClient(upload.ClientOptions{
-	Endpoint: "https://distributor.example.com",
-	Token:    token,
-})
-if err != nil {
-	return err
-}
-```
+The client decodes the accepted upload result (`run_id`, `status`) and the run
+status record. A `409` response is an upstream idempotency conflict; the
+adapter translates it to its own conflict error without exposing the token.
 
-`Endpoint` is the distributor server base URL. The client derives `/v1/pipelines/<pipeline-id>/upload` and `/runs/<run-id>`. `Token` is required and is sent as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`. Token values are redacted from client errors.
+The adapter then calls `Status` for the accepted run. A terminal `failed`
+status is a notification failure. A status lookup failure or a timeout before a
+terminal status remains attached to the otherwise accepted upload as diagnostic
+status information. Normal diagnostics use local status classifications; they
+do not expose remote response text or the status report. Polling cadence, final
+failure handling, and redaction are internal behavior documented in the
+[Distributor adapter](../../internal/distributor-adapter.md) and
+[application orchestration](../../internal/app-orchestration.md).
 
-`HTTPClient` and `Retry` are optional. Defaults use a 30 second HTTP timeout and safe retry settings.
+## Compatibility Reference
 
-## Upload Producer Files
-
-Use `UploadFiles` when the producer has generated output files but has not assembled a bundle directory.
-
-```go
-result, err := client.UploadFiles(ctx, upload.UploadFilesOptions{
-	PipelineID:     "weather-hourly",
-	ID:             "weather.hourly.brentwood",
-	IdempotencyKey: "weather.hourly.brentwood.20260607T150000Z",
-	Files: []bundle.BundleFile{
-		{SourcePath: "/tmp/weather/report.md", Path: "report.md"},
-		{SourcePath: "/tmp/weather/summary.txt", Path: "summary.txt"},
-	},
-})
-if err != nil {
-	return err
-}
-_ = result.RunID
-```
-
-`PipelineID` is required and selects the configured distributor workflow for this upload. `ID` is the source manifest id and identifies the logical artifact inside that workflow. `UploadFiles` creates a temporary bundle, writes and validates a manifest, uploads the archive, and removes temporary files when the call returns. It does not write into producer source directories.
-
-## Upload An Existing Bundle
-
-Use `UploadBundle` when the producer already has a complete local bundle root containing `manifest.json`.
-
-```go
-result, err := client.UploadBundle(ctx, upload.UploadBundleOptions{
-	PipelineID:     "weather-hourly",
-	Root:           "/var/spool/weather/hourly-2026-06-07T15",
-	IdempotencyKey: "weather.hourly.brentwood.20260607T150000Z",
-})
-if err != nil {
-	return err
-}
-_ = result.RunID
-```
-
-`PipelineID` is required for existing bundles too. `UploadBundle` validates the local bundle by default and uploads only `manifest.json` plus manifest-listed files. Unlisted files are not uploaded.
-
-## Result And Status
-
-Upload success means the server returned `202 Accepted` after staging and validating the upload. It does not mean all configured destinations have published.
-
-Poll status while the server retains the in-memory run record:
-
-```go
-status, err := client.Status(ctx, result.RunID)
-if err != nil {
-	return err
-}
-if status.Status == "failed" {
-	return fmt.Errorf("distributor run failed: %s", status.Error)
-}
-```
-
-Status values are `accepted`, `queued`, `running`, `succeeded`, and `failed`. Completed records expire according to `server.http.retention`; server restart clears run status and idempotency records.
-
-## Idempotency And Retry
-
-Every upload request includes `Idempotency-Key`.
-
-If `IdempotencyKey` is omitted, the client generates a random 128-bit lowercase hexadecimal key for that upload operation and reuses it for retries within the same call. For cross-process retry safety, producers should pass a key derived from the producer run, such as `<bundle-id>.<run-id>`.
-
-Do not reuse the same idempotency key for multiple distinct report generations. Reuse it only when retrying the exact same run with the same token, pipeline id, and source manifest. A repeated key with the same manifest in that scope returns the original accepted run instead of enqueueing another run; a repeated key with different content returns an idempotency conflict.
-
-The client retries only safe cases:
-
-- `503 Service Unavailable`;
-- temporary network errors;
-- ambiguous mid-upload failures.
-
-It does not retry after `202 Accepted` and does not retry `400`, `401`, `403`, `404`, `409`, `413`, or `415`.
-
-Detect conflicting key reuse with `errors.As`:
-
-```go
-var conflict *upload.IdempotencyConflictError
-if errors.As(err, &conflict) {
-	return fmt.Errorf("idempotency key was reused for different bundle content: %w", err)
-}
-```
-
-## Boundaries
-
-`pkg/upload` does not configure server pipelines, choose destinations, wait for publication completion automatically, persist client queues, provide durable idempotency across server restarts, or expose destination state. It submits complete source bundles to the configured HTTP upload API.
+The upstream package workflow is documented in
+`docs/consumers/pkg-upload.md` in the Distributor repository. Weatherreporter
+uses only the client construction, `UploadFiles`, retry/conflict behavior, and
+`Status` operations described here.

+# Promptkit Integration
+
+Weatherreporter uses Promptkit for all generated-text reports. The four logical prompts are `weather.daily_generated_text`, `weather.today_generated_text`, `weather.tomorrow_generated_text`, and `weather.hourly_generated_text`, each at version `2.1.0`. Their prompt assets, generated-text JSON Schemas, and Weatherreporter profile catalog are embedded by `internal/promptassets`.
+
+## Logical Profile Catalog
+
+Prompt definitions select a stable Weatherreporter profile ID. Each embedded
+definition contains only its ID and one Promptkit base-profile reference; the
+effective execution settings resolve from Promptkit's maintained catalog:
+
+| Profile ID | Model | Reasoning effort | Timeout | Service tier | Default reports |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `weather-light` | `deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash` | Provider default | 180 seconds | `flex` | Hourly |
+| `weather-balanced` | `~google/gemini-flash-latest` | `high` | 240 seconds | `flex` | Daily, Today, Tomorrow |
+| `weather-deep` | `~anthropic/claude-sonnet-latest` | `high` | 240 seconds | `flex` | None |
+
+The `~` prefix is part of each OpenRouter rolling-alias model ID. The embedded
+profiles intentionally omit endpoints, credentials, and execution settings;
+Promptkit owns inherited resolution and its provider-native defaults.
+Promptkit's built-in `rakestrawhome-gemma-4-31b` is also available for ordinary
+and comparison selection and reports the `rakestrawhome` backend without
+Weatherreporter-specific configuration.
+
+## Selection And Active Execution
+
+Before weather collection, Weatherreporter validates the report's exact generated-text report/schema/template catalog binding, prompt version and hash, output contract, and selected profile. Active profiles must resolve a nonblank model; an endpoint-only profile may intentionally have no backend identity. A nonblank `promptkit.profile` selects one profile ID for every report in the command; otherwise the prompt's declared default selects it. Promptkit resolves the selected definition in this order:
+
+1. explicit in-memory profiles used by an embedding consumer or test;
+2. the configured `profile_file` or `profile_dir`;
+3. Weatherreporter's embedded fallback profiles; and
+4. Promptkit's built-in catalog.
+
+A source falls through only when the selected ID is absent. Promptkit resolves a
+derived profile's base with the same source precedence, so a configured base
+can shadow a built-in base. A missing, cyclic, malformed, or incomplete
+selected inheritance chain is an error and does not fall back.
+
+Profiles that require a direct API key are unsupported. Optional environment
+credential sources are Promptkit runtime concerns and are not checked by
+Weatherreporter during profile inspection. Active results retain the selected
+logical profile ID and resolved backend and model. Ordinary errors, summaries,
+logs, and outputs exclude endpoints, credentials, rendered messages, schemas,
+request bodies, response bodies, and complete parameter maps.
+
+Promptkit receives the YAML data package as an inline input and returns structured JSON that Weatherreporter validates before rendering its own Markdown template. Before accepting that JSON, Weatherreporter requires exactly one preparation callback and reconciles its prompt/profile/backend/model and rendered/input hashes with the inspected identity and completed result. The callback output contract and completed validation must use the report's expected JSON Schema mode and path. The package contains only reviewed prompt-facing warning summaries, never source transport or provenance details. Safe active provenance remains in memory. Content-rich diagnostics are opt-in through `--llm-debug-dir`; see [operations](../operations.md) for retention and permissions. Ordinary generation errors disclose only the safe Weatherreporter category and optional HTTP status; provider code, type, and message are written only to the explicit secure failure-debug artifact.
+
+Each embedded prompt permits one Promptkit-owned corrective generation after an
+eligible failed or explicitly empty result. This is not an application retry:
+Weatherreporter performs no provider retry, profile fallback, or request-level
+output-contract override. Promptkit reports cumulative usage and the actual
+number of corrective calls; repair exhaustion remains a completed validation
+failure.
+
+When capture is enabled, its preparation artifact projects a provider endpoint
+to its scheme and host and retains only reviewed execution settings. Provider
+extras and URL user information, paths, queries, and fragments are omitted.
+Capture storage remains confined to the operator-selected debug root; an unsafe
+filesystem path causes the requested execution to fail. Host availability and
+operator handling are documented in the
+[operations guide](../operations.md#optional-prompt-debug-capture).
+
+## Comparison Execution
+
+For `compare`, Weatherreporter validates the report's generated-text catalog
+binding, one exact prompt, and every explicitly selected profile before weather
+collection. It prepares one deterministic YAML
+data package, retains immutable copies of the report inputs, and executes every
+profile against the same exact data-package bytes. Each profile remains an
+independent Promptkit execution: one provider, provenance, or validation failure does not
+stop its peers, while caller cancellation applies to every in-flight execution.
+
+Weatherreporter starts selected profile executions concurrently and does not
+add an application-level concurrency limit. Promptkit owns backend capacity and
+any profile or backend concurrency policy. A shared Weatherreporter executor
+must safely accept those concurrent `Execute` calls. The durable comparison output and
+its compatibility rules are defined by the
+[comparison bundle contract](comparison-bundle.md); the user-facing command
+contract is in the [CLI reference](../cli.md).
+
+The generated-text schemas require `summary`, `forecast_discussion`, and `precipitation_timing`, and reject additional properties. Promptkit results are accepted only when their raw JSON is at most 64 KiB; the adapter drops larger results before copying them into Weatherreporter's execution values or debug artifacts. The validator also limits total generated prose to 20,000 characters, with 4,000-character summary and timing fields, a 12,000-character Hourly discussion, and at most 12 day-style paragraphs of 4,000 characters each. Prompts return an empty string for `precipitation_timing` when the deterministic package contains no precipitation windows.
+
+Prompt/profile configuration and the maintained local override example are owned by the [configuration reference](../config.md). Adapter construction and mapping are documented in the [Promptkit adapter internals](../internal/promptkit-adapter.md).

-# Scriptorium Integration
-
-This document describes the external Scriptorium CLI contract used by
-`weatherreporter`.
-
-## Purpose
-
-`weatherreporter` invokes Scriptorium as a subprocess to preflight prompt input
-and generate report artifacts. This page documents the CLI surface the adapter
-uses, not the full Scriptorium product.
-
-## Commands Used
-
-Render preflight:
-
-```bash
-scriptorium render \
-  --prompt <prompt_id> \
-  --input data_package=<path> \
-  --format json
-```
-
-Report generation:
-
-```bash
-scriptorium run \
-  --prompt <prompt_id> \
-  --input data_package=<path> \
-  --out <artifact_path>
-```
-
-Structured generated-text report generation uses the same command shape:
-
-```bash
-scriptorium run \
-  --prompt <prompt_id> \
-  --input data_package=<path> \
-  --out <generated_text_raw_path>
-```
-
-`weatherreporter` always passes prompt input as
-`--input data_package=<path>`. The data package is structured YAML created by
-`internal/promptinput`; module snapshots remain separate JSON artifacts for
-inspection and Recent Changes.
-
-For generated-text reports, Scriptorium selects the structured output schema
-from the prompt configuration associated with the prompt ID. `weatherreporter`
-does not pass `--format`, schema path, or JSON Schema flags for structured
-generation.
-
-## Configured Arguments
-
-The adapter can prepend configured flags before prompt-specific arguments:
-
-- `--config <path>` from `scriptorium.config_path`
-- `--profile <profile>` from `scriptorium.profile`
-
-It appends `scriptorium.extra_args` after the built-in arguments. Extra
-arguments are passed directly as argv items.
-
-`scriptorium.binary` selects the executable name or path. If unset inside the
-adapter, it falls back to `scriptorium`.
-
-## Execution Behavior
-
-The adapter runs Scriptorium without shell interpolation. Arguments are passed
-through `exec.CommandContext`.
-
-`scriptorium.timeout` limits each subprocess call when configured. Context
-cancellation or timeout returns an execution error.
-
-Stdout and stderr are captured separately. Each stream is capped at 1 MiB and
-the result records whether truncation occurred.
-
-## Results
-
-Render results include:
-
-- full argv recorded as `command`
-- stdout
-- stderr
-- exit code
-- truncation flags when applicable
-
-Run results include the same fields plus the requested output path. Structured
-generated-text run results use the same captured fields and output-path
-recording, with the output path pointing at the raw generated-text JSON
-artifact.
-
-`weatherreporter` persists render preflight JSON when orchestration reaches the
-preflight save point. For direct Markdown reports, Scriptorium writes the
-managed Markdown artifact to the `--out` path. For generated-text-template
-reports, Scriptorium writes raw JSON to the `--out` path; later
-weatherreporter workflow steps validate those bytes and render Markdown from an
-embedded template.
-
-## Failure Behavior
-
-The adapter validates required request fields before starting Scriptorium:
-
-- prompt ID
-- data package path
-- output path for `run` and structured generated-text `run`
-
-Nonzero exits return both the captured result and an error containing the exit
-code and stderr. A `run` exit code such as `2` is still treated as an error by
-the adapter, even if Scriptorium wrote output to the requested artifact path.
-
-Subprocess start failures, context cancellation, and timeouts return errors
-without fabricating a successful result.
-
-## Security Notes
-
-- The adapter does not invoke a shell.
-- Generated artifacts, rendered prompt context, stdout, and stderr can contain
-  operationally sensitive data.
-- API keys should be provided through the Scriptorium environment or
-  Scriptorium configuration, not through `weatherreporter` CLI arguments.

 # Weather API Integration
 
-This document describes the external Weather API contract used by
-`weatherreporter`.
+Weatherreporter fetches normalized weather inputs from a configured Weather API
+base URL. This guide defines the HTTP contract the service must satisfy; it is
+not a general Weather API reference. Configuration values are defined in the
+[configuration reference](../config.md). Normalization and collection behavior
+are documented in [Weather data internals](../internal/weather-data.md) and
+[Collection internals](../internal/collect.md).
 
-## Purpose
+## Base URL And Requests
 
-`weatherreporter` uses a configured Weather API base URL to fetch normalized
-weather source data and assemble a `weatherdata.Bundle`. This is an integration
-contract for the project adapter, not a complete public API reference for the
-upstream service.
+`weather_api.base_url` must be an absolute HTTP(S) URL. Weatherreporter joins
+each endpoint path to the configured base URL path, so a service hosted under a
+path prefix must keep that prefix available. Requests use `GET` and carry the
+configured timeout on every HTTP attempt.
 
-## Base URL
+Every request sends `format` and, except where noted below, `units`. The
+configured format must be `json`.
 
-`weather_api.base_url` must be an absolute URL. Adapter requests join this base
-URL with the endpoint paths listed below. Generation and explicit bundle fetches
-fail before any HTTP request when the base URL is empty or not absolute.
+Before retrieving sources, Weatherreporter requests `/conditions/current` with
+the same `format`, `units`, and `precision` query parameters used for current
+conditions. After a readable 2xx response, it retains that response for the
+normal current-conditions source step rather than making a second identical
+request. Failure after the readiness request's internal retry budget stops the
+fetch before source requests begin.
 
-The HTTP client uses `weather_api.timeout`.
+## Endpoints And Query Parameters
+
+The adapter makes one source request for each endpoint, subject to retry on
+transient failures. A successful readiness request supplies the current
+conditions source response. The remaining independent source requests run
+concurrently, then their results are processed in the source order shown below.
+This keeps source provenance, missing-source policy, and surfaced errors
+deterministic regardless of response order.

+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Observations | `/observations` | `format`, `units`, `precision` | Optional |
+| Current conditions | `/conditions/current` | `format`, `units`, `precision` | Optional |
+| Hourly forecast | `/forecast/hourly` | `format`, `units`, `precision`, `tz` | Required |
+| Narrative forecast | `/forecast/narrative` | `format`, `units`, `precision`, `tz` | Optional |

+| Weather story | `/weatherstories/latest` | `format` | Optional |
+| SPC convective outlooks | `/outlooks/convective` | `format`, `tz` | Optional; non-null empty lists are checked empty data |
+
+`precision` comes from `weather_api.precision`; `tz` comes from
+`weather_api.timezone`. Weatherreporter does not call day-slice forecast or
+discussion-subsection endpoints.

-For most sources, `data: null` is treated as a missing source. Missing optional

+An absent `data` member is treated as a missing source. For ordinary sources,

+missing-source policy. Under `error`, collection fails; under `warn`, the
+source is omitted and an inspectable warning is recorded; under `none`, the
+source is omitted without a warning. A per-source policy overrides the default.
+See [Configuration](../config.md) for policy settings and [Weather data
+internals](../internal/weather-data.md) for recorded source metadata.

+## Payload Fields Used
 
-## Query Parameters
+Weatherreporter decodes only the fields below; additional upstream fields are
+ignored. Timestamps must be JSON values accepted by Go's `time.Time` decoder.
 
-The adapter sends these query parameters:
+### Observations And Current Conditions
 
-- `format`: from `weather_api.format`; configuration validation requires `json`
-- `units`: from `weather_api.units`
-- `precision`: from `weather_api.precision` on observations, current
-  conditions, hourly forecast, and narrative forecast requests
-- `tz`: from `weather_api.timezone` on hourly forecast, narrative forecast,
-  discussion, and SPC convective outlook requests
+`/observations` uses `stationId`, `stationName`, `timestamp`, `conditionCode`,
+`isDay`, `textDescription`, `temperatureC`, `temperatureF`, `dewpointC`,
+`dewpointF`, `windSpeedKmh`, `windSpeedMph`, `windGustKmh`, `windGustMph`,
+`windDirectionDegrees`, `barometricPressurePa`, `barometricPressureInHg`,
+`visibilityMeters`, `visibilityMiles`, `relativeHumidityPercent`,
+`apparentTemperatureC`, `apparentTemperatureF`, and `presentWeather`.
 
-Alerts do not receive `precision` or `tz`. Weather story requests receive only
-`format=json`. SPC convective outlook requests receive only `format=json` and
-`tz`; they do not receive `units` or `precision`.
+`/conditions/current` uses `conditionText`, `isDay`,
+`relativeHumidityPercent`, `windDirectionDegrees`, `temperatureC`,
+`temperatureF`, `apparentTemperatureC`, `apparentTemperatureF`, `dewpointC`,
+`dewpointF`, `windSpeedKmh`, and `windSpeedMph`.
 
-## SPC Convective Outlooks
+### Hourly And Narrative Forecasts
 
-The adapter fetches SPC convective outlook data from:
+Both forecast endpoints use run-level `locationId`, `locationName`, `issuedAt`,
+`updatedAt`, `product`, `latitude`, `longitude`, `elevationMeters`,
+`elevationFeet`, and `periods`.
 
-```text
-GET /outlooks/convective?format=json&tz=<weather_api.timezone>
-```
+Each `periods` item uses `startTime`, `endTime`, `name`, `isDay`,
+`conditionCode`, `textDescription`, `temperatureC`, `temperatureF`,
+`temperatureCMin`, `temperatureFMin`, `temperatureCMax`, `temperatureFMax`,
+`dewpointC`, `dewpointF`, `windSpeedKmh`, `windSpeedMph`, `windGustKmh`,
+`windGustMph`, `windDirectionDegrees`, `barometricPressurePa`,
+`barometricPressureInHg`, `visibilityMeters`, `visibilityMiles`,
+`apparentTemperatureC`, `apparentTemperatureF`, `cloudCoverPercent`,
+`probabilityOfPrecipitationPercent`, `precipitationAmountMm`,
+`precipitationAmountIn`, `snowfallDepthMM`, `snowfallDepthIn`, `uvIndex`, and
+`relativeHumidityPercent`.
 
-The response uses the standard `data` envelope. `data: null` means no latest
-run is available and follows missing-source policy. A non-null object with
-empty `outlooks` and `discussions` arrays is accepted as checked empty data.
+### Alerts, Discussion, And Weather Story
 
-Run fields consumed by weatherreporter:
+`/alerts/active` uses the `asOf` timestamp and keeps each item in `alerts` as

+at this integration boundary.
 
-- `locationId`
-- `locationName`
-- `asOf`
-- `issuedAt`
-- `updatedAt`
-- `product`
-- `outlooks`
-- `discussions`
+`/discussion` uses `officeId`, `officeName`, `product`, `issuedAt`,
+`updatedAt`, `keyMessages`, and the `shortTerm` and `longTerm` sections. Each
+section uses `qualifier`, `text`, and `issuedAt`.
 
-Outlook fields consumed:
+`/weatherstories/latest` uses `officeId`, `startTime`, `endTime`, `updatedAt`,

+### SPC Convective Outlooks
 
-Discussion fields consumed:
+`/outlooks/convective` uses run-level `locationId`, `locationName`, `asOf`,
+`issuedAt`, `updatedAt`, `product`, `outlooks`, and `discussions`.
 
-- `day`
-- `headline`
-- `summary`
-- `discussion`
-- `updatedAt`
+Each outlook uses `id`, `provider`, `product`, `day`, `outlookType`, `label`,
+`labelText`, `forecaster`, `severityRank`, `validFrom`, `validTo`, `issuedAt`,
+`expiresAt`, `sourceUrl`, `imageUrl`, `containsLocation`, and GeoJSON
+`geometry`. Each discussion uses `day`, `headline`, `summary`, `discussion`,
+and `updatedAt`.
 
-GeoJSON `geometry` is decoded into collected weather facts and persisted in
-bundle/debug artifacts, but prompt-facing SPC module output omits geometry.
+## Timeouts, Retries, And Failures
 
-## Endpoints Used
+The configured Weather API timeout applies to each warmup and source HTTP
+attempt. Weatherreporter retries transient transport and response-read failures
+and these response statuses: `408`, `429`, `500`, `502`, `503`, and `504`.
+It does not retry other HTTP statuses, malformed envelopes, missing data, or
+payload decoding failures. A canceled context also stops an in-progress retry
+delay.
 
-The adapter fetches these endpoints once per bundle:
+The adapter accepts response bodies up to 10 MiB and rejects larger bodies
+before decoding. A non-2xx response reports its relative endpoint and status,
+without including upstream response text. Request construction, response-limit,
+read, and decode failures include endpoint context in their errors.
 
-- `/observations`
-- `/conditions/current`
-- `/forecast/hourly`
-- `/forecast/narrative`
-- `/alerts/active`
-- `/discussion`
-- `/weatherstories/latest`
-- `/outlooks/convective`
-
-`weatherreporter` does not call day-slice forecast endpoints or discussion
-subsection endpoints. Report-period selection and daypart summarization happen
-inside Go after the full hourly and narrative products are fetched.
-
-## Required And Optional Sources
-
-Hourly forecast is required:
-
-- `data: null` for `/forecast/hourly` fails the fetch.
-- an hourly forecast with no `periods` fails the fetch.
-- malformed hourly data fails the fetch.
-
-Other fetched sources are optional and follow `missing_source.default` or a
-source-specific `missing_source.sources` policy:
-
-- `observations` for `/observations`
-- `current` for `/conditions/current`
-- `narrative` for `/forecast/narrative`
-- `alerts` for `/alerts/active`
-- `discussion` for `/discussion`
-- `weather_story` for `/weatherstories/latest`
-- `spc_convective_outlooks` for `/outlooks/convective`
-
-Policy behavior:
-
-- `error`: fail the fetch for that source
-- `warn`: omit the source data, add a warning, and continue
-- `none`: omit the source data and continue without a warning
-
-For `/alerts/active`, an HTTP error or missing `data` field still fails or
-follows the relevant error path, but explicit `data: null` is not a
-missing-source condition.
-
-For `/outlooks/convective`, a non-null data object with empty outlook and
-discussion arrays is accepted as checked empty data.
-
-## Source Identity
-
-For source payloads accepted into the bundle, including the explicit `null`
-alerts payload, the adapter records:
-
-- source name
-- endpoint path
-- query parameters sent
-- fetch time
-- source issue and update timestamps when present in the payload
-- SHA-256 hash of the compact raw `data` JSON
-
-Warnings are recorded both on the affected source and on the bundle-level
-warnings list.
-
-## Compatibility Assumptions
-
-The adapter expects payload fields compatible with the internal weather data
-bundle types in `internal/weatherdata/bundle.go`, including:
-
-- observation timestamps and observation values
-- current condition values
-- forecast run metadata and `periods`
-- active alert run data
-- discussion metadata, key messages, and short/long-term section text
-- latest weather story title, description, timing, priority, order, alt text,
-  and download URL
-- SPC convective outlook run metadata, outlooks, discussions, and GeoJSON
-  geometry
-
-The adapter intentionally keeps upstream transport and envelope details inside
-`internal/adapters/weatherapi`; downstream packages consume the normalized
-bundle.
+Retry counts and delays are adapter behavior rather than Weather API request
+parameters. Do not depend on a particular attempt count when implementing the
+service.

-# App Orchestration Internals
+# Application Orchestration Internals
 
-This document describes the workflow coordinator in `internal/app`.
+`internal/app` owns stateless report generation, batch execution, comparison
+orchestration, atomic output publication, and notification coordination after
+`internal/cli` has parsed arguments and loaded configuration. The user contract
+is owned by the [CLI reference](../cli.md) and [operations guide](../operations.md).
 
-## Purpose
+## Single-Report Flow
 
-`internal/app` coordinates the top-level use cases after CLI parsing and config
-loading are complete. It resolves report definitions, collects weather data
-through `internal/collect`, builds collected and derived facts, builds module
-snapshots and prompt-input artifacts, invokes Scriptorium through the adapter
-boundary, optionally notifies distributor through an app-owned notifier
-boundary, persists managed state, runs batches, and reads existing artifacts
-for inspection.
+`GenerateDetailed` resolves the requested report and output destination before initializing an optional explicit debug writer. An explicit output file wins; otherwise the configured output directory is used, falling back to the captured working directory. Output preflight validates the final filename, permits only an absent or regular final destination, and validates the bounded same-directory temporary form without creating a missing parent. It then validates the report's generated-text catalog binding, exact Promptkit prompt, and selected profile before collecting weather data. Profile inspection requires a model, permits an empty backend identity for endpoint-only profiles, and leaves inherited resolution and optional credential sources to Promptkit. The resolved profile, backend, model, and actual repair count (once a completed execution exists) are carried in the active result; the configured repair budget remains part of the exact prompt contract.
 
-## Inputs And Outputs
+The workflow builds facts, a module snapshot, briefing metadata, and the YAML prompt package in memory. It executes Promptkit only against the inspected prompt and profile, reconciles the preparation callback and completed result with that identity and the prepared report schema, validates the returned generated text, builds a render context, and renders Markdown. `fileutil` writes the completed Markdown through a same-directory temporary file, rechecks the final destination and context after close and immediately before the atomic rename. Only after that write succeeds does single-report notification run.
 
-Inputs:
+Failures return an active partial result with safe identity, profile, warning, validation, debug, and output information when available. After rendering and immediately before publication, the workflow checks for cancellation or deadline expiry. Any failure before publication leaves an existing destination unchanged. A notification failure retains the newly published output.
 
-- `GenerateRequest` for one report command
-- `BatchRequest` for morning or evening batch commands
-- `FetchBundleRequest` for explicit bundle collection and save workflows
-- `ReportRequest` for single-report generation
-- resolved report definitions from `internal/report`
-- collection results from `internal/collect`
-- prior snapshots loaded from `internal/state`
-- optional collector, renderer, notifier, and state-store fakes for tests
+## Batches
 
-Outputs:
+`RunBatchDetailed` selects an explicit output directory first, otherwise the configured directory and then the captured working directory. It does this before creating at most one explicit debug writer or validating generated-text catalog, prompt, and profile candidates for the selected batch. It collects once, calculates the data-dependent plan, then validates and retains the final output path for every planned report before invoking the same generation core sequentially.
 
-- generated report results with JSON module snapshot, YAML data package,
-  preflight, report, metadata, prior snapshot, Recent Changes, Scriptorium
-  result details, generated-text artifact paths when applicable, and
-  notification result when attempted
-- batch summaries with per-report status, artifact paths, error text, and
-  one top-level batch notification result when attempted or skipped
-- saved Weather API bundle JSON for explicit bundle collection workflows
-- inspection JSON values for reports, metadata, module snapshots, data
-  packages, prior snapshots, and source provenance
+Each item has an independent result. A failed item does not stop later items; successful items retain their published output paths. Per-report notification is suppressed during a batch. Batch notification runs only after every planned report has published successfully. It is skipped when any item failed. Batch result counters count report items only; a batch notification failure is represented by the top-level notification result and still produces a failed batch outcome.
 
-## Boundaries
+Cancellation and deadline expiry stop the sequential loop before another report
+starts. Completed report results and published paths remain successful; the
+interrupted and unstarted planned reports have `canceled` status and are counted
+separately from failed reports. The batch notification result records that
+delivery was skipped, and the returned error retains the original context cause
+for callers and CLI projection.
 
-`internal/app` owns workflow order and request composition. It does not parse
-CLI flags, load YAML files directly, implement HTTP transport, own fact
-derivation algorithms, define report periods, compare rendered Markdown, or
-construct Scriptorium argv.
+## Comparisons
 
-Report selection and report identity policy come from `internal/report`.
-Collected and derived fact contracts come from `internal/facts`.
-Weather API transport stays in `internal/adapters/weatherapi`, and app-facing
-upstream collection stays in `internal/collect`. Scriptorium subprocess
-behavior stays in `internal/adapters/scriptorium`. Distributor upload behavior
-stays in `internal/adapters/distributor`. Filesystem layout and persisted
-metadata stay in `internal/state`.
+`CompareDetailed` validates ordered explicit profile IDs, resolves the report,
+and preflights the exact bundle destination before initializing optional prompt
+debugging, prompt inspection, or collection. It then validates the report's
+generated-text catalog binding, inspects the one prompt and every selected
+profile, collects once, and delegates shared report
+construction to the prepared-report flow. It does not accept a notifier.
 
-## Data Flow Terms
+Once the destination is resolved, the partial result retains its absolute
+output directory even when later preflight, debug initialization, inspection,
+collection, or preparation fails. Every initialized result is finalized with a
+finished timestamp. If prompt inspection succeeds before a later profile
+inspection fails, the partial result retains the resolved prompt ID, version,
+and hash. Artifact paths are added only after publication commits.
 
-- `collect.Result` is the app-facing upstream collection result. It carries the
-  normalized `weatherdata.Bundle` used by report generation.
-- `CollectedFacts` are normalized source facts derived from a collected Weather
-  API bundle and made available to derivation and module builders.
-- `DerivedFacts` are deterministic calculations over collected facts, the
-  resolved valid period, daypart configuration, and report-specific windows.
-- `module.Output` values are ordered deterministic stanzas built from collected
-  and derived facts for prompt input and inspection.
-- `GeneratedText` is structured prose returned by Scriptorium for
-  generated-text-template reports and validated by `internal/generatedtext`.
-- `RenderContext` is the typed template input built from report metadata,
-  module outputs, and validated generated text before Markdown rendering.
+The comparison execution core starts each inspected profile independently,
+keeps results in selection order, and waits for all started work. Every profile
+reconciles its callback and completion provenance before its JSON can be
+rendered. Independent profile failures are recorded and do not stop peers; a
+completed profile failure remains recorded if cancellation happens later.
+Context cancellation marks only unfinished or cancellation-terminated work and
+prevents publication. Details of
+prepared values, execution and debugging, and publication are documented in [prepared report
+internals](prepared-report.md), [comparison execution
+internals](comparison-execution.md), and [comparison publication
+internals](comparison-publication.md).
 
-## Config Fields Used
+When publication has committed its new bundle, application results contain the
+absolute manifest, data-package, and successful report paths even if removal of
+the previous sibling backup then fails. That cleanup failure is still returned
+as an operational error rather than treating the new bundle as unpublished;
+the returned error identifies the observed recovery state and includes a path
+only when cleanup left a sibling behind.
 
-- `weather_api.*` for Weather API client construction and module metadata
-- `scriptorium.*` for renderer construction
-- `workspace.*` for filesystem state
-- `dayparts` for daily and outlook summarization
-- `recent_change.*` for structured Recent Changes thresholds
-- `notify.distributor.*` for optional single-report and batch notification
-  after report generation
+## Boundaries And Verification
 
-Output copy flags are command request fields. They are not configuration
-defaults.
+The package does not parse flags, load YAML, implement transport, construct provider SDKs, or define report-period policy. Prompt, profile, weather, and Distributor implementations remain behind project-owned contracts.
 
-## Generation Workflow
+Focused checks:
 
-Single-report commands validate the report command, collect once through
-`internal/collect`, resolve the requested report, and pass the resolved report
-plus explicit collection into `GenerateReport`.
-
-`GenerateReport` then uses this setup:
-
-1. Create or use a filesystem store.
-2. Locate any prior compatible snapshot through `internal/state`.
-3. Build collected and derived facts from the supplied collection.
-4. Execute configured modules and save the module snapshot.
-5. Compute Recent Changes from structured prior and current module snapshots.
-6. Build and save the YAML Scriptorium `data_package`.
-7. Run Scriptorium render preflight.
-8. Save preflight JSON when a render result is available.
-9. Save metadata for inspection.
-
-For `scriptorium_markdown` reports, generation then:
-
-10. Runs Scriptorium report generation to the managed report path.
-
-For `generated_text_template` reports, generation then:
-
-10. Looks up the generated-text catalog entry for the report schema/template
-    IDs.
-11. Runs structured Scriptorium generation to the raw generated-text JSON path.
-12. Saves the structured Scriptorium run result.
-13. Validates and saves normalized generated text.
-14. Builds and saves a typed render context.
-15. Renders Markdown from the embedded template to the managed report path.
-
-After either mode has produced a managed Markdown report, shared finalization:
-
-1. Copies the managed report to the requested `--out` or `--out-dir` path when
-   provided.
-2. Saves final metadata with the managed report path and any generated-text
-   artifact paths already produced.
-3. If distributor notification is enabled, notifies using the managed report
-   path as the source file.
-4. Saves a distributor notification debug artifact and updates metadata with
-   its path.
-
-If render preflight returns both a result and an error, preflight JSON and
-metadata are persisted before the error is returned. If Scriptorium report
-generation returns an error after writing output, the managed report and
-metadata remain inspectable. Notification is not attempted after collection,
-module snapshot, prompt input, render, Scriptorium run, or metadata-save
-failures.
-Generated-text report failures are returned with report ID, RunID, and the
-failed operation. When available, the app preserves the latest generated-text
-artifacts already reached by the workflow: preflight output, structured run
-result, raw generated text, validated generated text, and render context.
-When notification is attempted, the debug artifact records request identity,
-including rendered pipeline ID, bundle paths, accepted upload fields,
-distributor status fields, raw status report JSON when available, and redacted
-failure context.
-`--out` copies are never used as notification source files.
-
-## Batch Workflow
-
-`run morning` collects once, plans Today Report, Tomorrow Report, and eligible
-future Daily Reports from the collected hourly forecast, then passes the same
-collection into each report generation. `run evening` uses the same collection
-and planning rules, but starts with Tomorrow Report. Future Daily reports start
-with the day after tomorrow and require complete hourly forecast coverage for
-the target local civil day. Dynamic Daily `--out-dir` copies use
-`daily-YYYY-MM-DD.md`; other batch copies use report definition output names.
-A collection failure stops the batch before planning or report generation.
-After planning succeeds, batch generation continues independent reports after a
-failure, records each result, writes compact status lines to stderr, emits a
-JSON summary to stdout, and returns an aggregate error when any report failed.
-
-Batch report generation suppresses per-report distributor notification. After
-all planned reports finish, app orchestration evaluates batch notification:
-
-1. If distributor notification is disabled, the batch notification result is
-   omitted.
-2. If batch notification is disabled, the batch notification result is omitted
-   and there is no per-report fallback upload.
-3. If any planned report failed, the batch notification result is `skipped`
-   with reason `one or more reports failed`, and distributor is not called.
-4. If every report succeeded, app orchestration renders batch pipeline, bundle
-   ID, and idempotency key templates, renders report-specific distributor
-   paths for each included report, validates every managed source path and
-   bundle path, checks duplicate bundle paths across the batch, calls the
-   notifier once with a multi-file request, and saves a batch notification
-   debug artifact.
-
-Batch notification failure records a top-level failed notification, increments
-the aggregate batch failure count, and returns an aggregate batch error without
-marking individual report items failed. `--out-dir` copies are never used as
-notification source files.
-
-## Inspection Workflow
-
-Inspection workflows load existing filesystem state only. They do not fetch
-weather data or invoke Scriptorium. Run-specific inspect commands share the same
-store and metadata lookup path, then load the requested artifact or derived
-inspection view.
-
-## Failure Behavior
-
-- Resolve errors stop the requested workflow before collection.
-- Collection and module execution errors stop that report before Scriptorium
-  runs.
-- Prompt input validation fails before render preflight.
-- Render and run errors preserve Scriptorium stderr and exit-code context.
-- Generated-text report errors preserve available intermediate artifacts and do
-  not create extra output copies.
-- Single-report notification errors are wrapped with report ID, RunID, and
-  managed report path context.
-- Batch notification errors are recorded on the top-level batch notification
-  result and do not change individual report item status.
-- Metadata and artifact path errors include filesystem context.
-- Batch failures are recorded per report and surfaced through an aggregate
-  batch error.
-
-## Tests
-
-Inspect:
-
-- `internal/app/app_test.go`
-- `internal/app/batch_plan_test.go`
-- `internal/collect/collect_test.go`
-- `internal/cli/root_test.go`
-- `internal/state/filesystem_test.go`
-
-## Invariants
-
-- Report behavior is resolved through `internal/report`.
-- Generate and run commands collect once before report generation.
-- Batch planning is app-owned because future Daily membership depends on
-  collected hourly forecast coverage.
-- Generated reports use the same app request and result types regardless of
-  report ID.
-- Render preflight precedes Scriptorium report generation.
-- Generated-text reports render Markdown from a curated render context, not from
-  a raw data package.
-- Recent Changes are computed from structured module snapshots.
-- Metadata links artifacts produced for a run.
-- Single-report distributor notification maps the managed Markdown report path
-  to configured bundle paths.
-- Batch distributor notification maps each included managed Markdown report
-  path to bundle paths rendered for that report and uploads once for the
-  batch.
-- Extra output copies are not upload sources.

 # Module Builder Internals
 
-This document describes module builder behavior in `internal/briefing`.
+`internal/briefing` builds typed module outputs from resolved report context,
+collected facts, and derived facts. It owns the module registry, including
+module support, fact requirements, option types, missing-data policy, builders,
+and prompt-export hooks. It does not collect data, derive periods, write a
+snapshot, construct YAML, invoke Promptkit, or render a report.
 
-## Purpose
+## Registry and construction
 
-`internal/briefing` turns report metadata, collected weather data, and derived
-forecast facts into prompt-facing module outputs. The package also owns the
-module registry used to validate report composition and config overrides.
+Every `ModuleDefinition` declares an ID, stanza name, default option value,
+required collected and derived facts, supported report IDs, missing-data
+behavior, duplicate policy, builder, and optional prompt exporter. The
+briefing-owned fact-requirement vocabulary supplies each prerequisite's stable
+identity, category, and availability predicate; registry construction rejects
+unknown requirements and requirements listed under the wrong category.
 
-Module outputs are structured prompt inputs. They are not rendered report prose
-and they are not persisted by this package.
+`BuildModule` first verifies the requested module, report compatibility, and
+option shape. It then applies the declared missing-data behavior:
 
-## Inputs And Outputs
+- `omit` returns no output for unavailable optional facts;
+- `error` returns the missing fact requirements; and
+- `empty` allows the builder to emit an explicit checked-empty value.
 
-Inputs:
+Unsupported `warn` behavior, missing builders, duplicate registry IDs or
+stanza names, output ID or stanza mismatches, and exporter failures all return
+errors with module context. A successful builder gets a pass-through prompt
+value unless its definition supplies an exporter.
 
-- resolved report definition, generation time, timezone, and valid period
-- collected facts built from `weatherdata.Bundle`
-- derived daily, daypart, precipitation, alert, and storm-window facts where
-  required
-- configured units, timezone, and descriptive location context
-- typed module options from report defaults or config overrides
+## Built value families
 
-Outputs:
+Source-oriented builders shape report metadata, current conditions, narrative
+and hourly forecasts, alert digest, SPC outlooks and discussion, area forecast
+discussion, and weather story. Derived builders shape daily and daypart
+summaries, precipitation timing, outdoor windows, and the report-specific
+Daily, Today, and Tomorrow planning values.
 
-- `ModuleDefinition` values with module ID, stanza name, option type,
-  supported reports, fact requirements, missing-data behavior, and builder
-- `module.Output` values for source-oriented stanzas:
-  `metadata`, `current_conditions`, `narrative_forecast`, `hourly_forecast`,
-  `alert_digest`, `spc_convective_outlooks`,
-  `area_forecast_discussion`, `spc_convective_discussion`, and
-  `weather_story`
-- `module.Output` values for derived stanzas:
-  `derived_daily_summary`, `derived_daypart_summaries`, `precip_timing`,
-  `outdoor_windows`, `today_planning`, `tomorrow_planning`, and
-  `daily_planning`
+The daily summary preserves generic feels-like values as
+`apparent_temperature_max_f`; it does not label them as a heat index. Daypart
+temperature phrases retain below-zero meaning, including through temperature
+trends that cross zero. Outdoor windows add a 25-point risk penalty and an
+explicit reason for each snow, ice, or fog indicator. Equal scores retain input
+order for both best and worst windows.
 
-Every registered composition entry has a builder. Unknown or unimplemented
-module IDs fail validation instead of being skipped.
+The module registry preserves rich values for templates and snapshots while
+curating prompt exports where needed. In particular, source warnings are a
+metadata summary, checked-empty alerts and SPC outlooks remain distinct from
+missing sources, and prompt-safe SPC values omit geometry and other
+template-only or source details. The complete module composition is in
+[module internals](module.md); fact derivation is in [fact contracts](facts.md).
+Alert digests are built from selected alert items and source provenance, not a
+provider response envelope.
 
-Daily Report supports the Daily-style civil-day modules plus `daily_planning`
-and `hourly_forecast`; those outputs feed the dated Daily GeneratedText prompt
-package and embedded Markdown template.
+Derived daypart-summary maps use the forecast package's canonical daypart
+identity and reject any collision instead of replacing an earlier value.
+Planning applies the same identity when recognizing morning, afternoon,
+evening, and overnight windows; display labels remain separate and preserve
+configured text with rune-safe first-letter capitalization.
 
-Tomorrow Report supports the Daily-style civil-day modules plus
-`tomorrow_planning` and `hourly_forecast`; those outputs feed the Tomorrow
-GeneratedText prompt package and embedded Markdown template.
+The embedded SPC background-definition asset records its authoritative sources,
+source update dates, and maintainer review schedule. Its categorical
+`official_description` values transcribe the [SPC convective-outlook risk
+table](https://www.spc.noaa.gov/about/outlooks/); its Conditional Intensity
+Group entries follow the [SPC conditional-intensity
+reference](https://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/conditional-intensity-information).
+`plain_language` values are Weatherreporter summaries. Weatherreporter
+maintainers review the asset annually and whenever either source changes.
 
-Today Report supports the Daily-style civil-day modules plus `today_planning`
-and `hourly_forecast`; those outputs feed the Today GeneratedText prompt
-package and embedded Markdown template.
+`area_forecast_discussion` accepts an optional typed section filter. Accepted
+typed option pointers are normalized to the declared value type before builder
+execution. Planning modules are report-specific: `daily_planning` supports Daily,
+`today_planning` supports Today, and `tomorrow_planning` supports Tomorrow.
 
-`today_planning` is a Today-specific deterministic planning stanza with
-morning readiness, commute/school/workday concerns, outdoor planning, and
-late-day change-watch fields. It is compatible with `report.Today` only.
+## Missing data and boundaries
 
-`daily_planning` is a dated Daily deterministic planning stanza with morning
-readiness, commute/school/workday concerns, and overnight change-watch fields.
-It is compatible only with the `daily` report ID value. The default Daily
-Report composition includes it.
+Optional current conditions, narrative products, discussions, and weather
+stories may be omitted. A weather story is usable only when it has non-blank
+displayable content (title, description, alternate text, or download URL) or a
+valid start/end period; otherwise collection applies its optional-source policy
+and the module is omitted. Required derived modules fail when their declared facts
+are unavailable. Empty alert and outlook runs can still produce checked-empty
+modules. SPC discussion is omitted unless a retained categorical outlook meets
+the package's severity criterion and matching discussion text exists.
 
-Hourly Report supports source and valid-period modules that operate over its
-rolling six-hour period: `metadata`, `current_conditions`, `hourly_forecast`,
-`precip_timing`, `alert_digest`, `spc_convective_outlooks`,
-`area_forecast_discussion`, `spc_convective_discussion`, and `weather_story`.
-It does not support daily/daypart-only modules such as
-`derived_daily_summary`, `derived_daypart_summaries`, `outdoor_windows`,
-`today_planning`, `tomorrow_planning`, or `daily_planning`.
+`ModuleContext` carries the effective units, timezone, location context, and
+prepared identity. Report preparation creates that one `PreparedIdentity` for
+the shared report identity, timing, configuration context, and source warnings
+before module construction. The metadata module projects its matching fields
+from that value and retains its prompt-safe shape. Field defaults are owned by
+[configuration](../config.md), and prompt-package layout is owned by [prompt
+input](prompt-input.md).
 
-Prompt-facing module values use local, human-readable date and time labels
-where the LLM is expected to reason about report content. Canonical timestamps
-remain in report metadata, source provenance, and integration artifacts.
+## Verification and invariants
 
-## Boundaries
+Focused tests cover source and derived values, registry validation, option
+handling, prompt exporters, support rules, and missing-data behavior:
 
-- This package selects and shapes already-collected weather facts for prompts.
-- It validates module composition against report compatibility and option
-  types.
-- It does not collect weather data, compare prior snapshots, write module
-  snapshots, build YAML data packages, invoke Scriptorium, or write workflow
-  metadata.
+```sh
+go test ./internal/briefing
+```
 
-## Config Fields Used
-
-The app layer passes effective units, timezone, and location context into the
-module context. `internal/facts` consumes daypart configuration before module
-builders run. Configured `location` values are prompt context only; Weather API
-`sourceLocationId` and `sourceLocation` remain source provenance.
-
-`area_forecast_discussion` uses optional `sections` configuration to include a
-subset of discussion fields. Hourly Report defaults this module to
-`key_messages` and `short_term`.
-
-`spc_convective_outlooks` uses collected SPC run metadata and derived
-report-period outlooks. It emits `checked: true` for a successfully fetched
-empty run, reports `outlook_count`, and includes prompt-facing outlook fields
-such as risk label, `period_begins`, `period_ends`, image URL, and whether the
-outlook contains the configured location. It also emits a curated `risk_digest`
-for categorical outlooks that overlap the report period, contain the location,
-and meet the configured-in-code minimum severity for report rendering. It does
-not emit GeoJSON geometry, source URL, expiration time, or severity rank.
-
-Prompt-facing module intervals use friendly local `period_begins` and
-`period_ends` labels. Canonical report metadata, source provenance,
-`issued_at`, `updated_at`, and point-in-time fields remain separate.

-# Changes Internals
-
-This document describes structured Recent Changes comparison.
-
-## Purpose
-
-`internal/changes` compares current and prior module snapshots and emits
-compact change records for prompt input data packages.
-
-## Inputs And Outputs
-
-Inputs:
-
-- prior module snapshot
-- current module snapshot
-- comparison thresholds from configuration
-
-Outputs:
-
-- ordered `changes.Change` items with type, message, previous value, and current
-  value where useful
-
-## Boundaries
-
-- This package compares structured module snapshot data only.
-- It does not read filesystem state, find prior snapshots, render Markdown,
-  invoke Scriptorium, or compare generated report text.

-## Config Fields Used
-
-The app maps these fields into comparison thresholds:
-
-- `recent_change.temperature_degrees`
-- `recent_change.precip_probability_points`
-- `recent_change.wind_gust_miles_per_hour`
-- `recent_change.precip_timing_shift_minutes`

-## External Adapters Used
-
-None.
-
-## State Or Manifest Behavior
-
-None directly. The app loads prior module snapshots through `internal/state`
-before calling comparison functions.
-
-## Skip And Resume Behavior
-
-No resume behavior. When the app has no prior comparable snapshot, it sends an
-empty Recent Changes list without calling a comparison function.

+# CLI Internals
+
+`internal/cli` parses terminal arguments, loads configuration, constructs app requests, and translates app results to bounded JSON summaries. The public contract belongs in the [CLI reference](../cli.md).
+
+The root `--version` flag reports the build version supplied by `internal/buildinfo`. Tagged release builds replace its development default at link time.
+
+The executable derives its action context from `SIGINT` and `SIGTERM` and
+passes it to `Runner.Run`. Signal cancellation therefore uses the same action,
+summary, and error paths as other context cancellation.
+
+For each `generate`, `run`, or `compare` action, `Runner` constructs one project-owned Promptkit executor after request preflight and configuration loading. It captures an absolute working directory, resolves only a relative explicit output override against it, and passes the working directory, loaded configuration, resolved override, and any `--llm-debug-dir` request to the app. The raw configured fallback remains in the configuration for app-owned destination selection. `run` uses the same explicit-resolution rule for `--out-dir`.
+
+The CLI dispatches generation, batch, and comparison actions. It has no persisted-run or inspection dispatch. Generation and batch summaries include report identity, status, output path, effective profile/backend/model, source warnings, validation, requested debug path, and notification result when available. Comparison summaries retain their ordered profile results and published bundle paths when available. All summaries intentionally exclude prompt input, raw generated text, render context, endpoints, credentials, and full Distributor payloads. A failed action with a partial result still emits its safe summary before its error is returned unless `--quiet` is set.

+CLI code owns report-date flag acceptance and date resolution, but not report
+composition, weather collection, output publication, provider execution, or
+notification policy. Focused checks:

 # Collection Internals
 
-This document describes the app-facing upstream collection boundary in
-`internal/collect`.
-
-## Purpose
-
-`internal/collect` is the canonical package used by app workflows to collect
-upstream Weather API data. It constructs the Weather API adapter, fetches a
-normalized bundle, and returns that bundle without applying report selection or
-batch policy.
+`internal/collect` is the small application-facing boundary that obtains one
+normalized Weather API bundle. The external HTTP contract belongs in the
+[Weather API integration guide](../integrations/weatherapi.md); normalized
+source values belong in [weather-data internals](weather-data.md).
 
 ## Contract
 
-Inputs:
+`Run` receives a context and effective configuration in `Request`. It creates
+the Weather API adapter, calls `FetchBundle`, and returns the adapter's
+normalized bundle in `Result`. Adapter construction errors are wrapped as
+weather-collection setup errors and fetch errors as bundle-collection errors.
 
-- `collect.Request`, containing the effective `config.Config`
-- `context.Context` for cancellation
+The package neither chooses reports nor derives facts, builds modules, invokes
+Promptkit, writes files, or sends notifications. Request scheduling, endpoint
+retrieval, response limits, and source-level warnings belong to the Weather
+API adapter and its integration contract.
 
-Output:
+## Application Use
 
-- `collect.Result`, containing `*weatherdata.Bundle`
+`internal/app` owns the `Collector` interface used by report workflows and
+tests. Its default implementation delegates to `collect.Run`; callers may
+substitute a collector at that boundary. Application orchestration owns
+collection timing, reuse across a workflow, and the handling of nil collection
+results. See [app orchestration internals](app-orchestration.md) for that
+flow.
 
-`Run` returns an actionable error when Weather API adapter construction or
-bundle fetch fails. The package does not derive `facts.CollectedFacts`, build
-modules, resolve report periods, select reports, write state, invoke
-Scriptorium, or notify distributor.
+## Verification
 
-## App Usage
+Focused package tests cover a successful fetch and wrapping failures from
+adapter construction and bundle retrieval:
 
-`internal/app` owns a narrow `Collector` interface for orchestration tests. The
-default implementation calls `collect.Run`.
-
-Single-report generation collects once, resolves the requested report, and
-passes the explicit collection into report generation. Batch generation
-collects once before planning and passes the same collection into each planned
-report. If collection returns no bundle, app orchestration returns an error
-before report generation.
-
-## Boundaries
-
-Weather API HTTP details stay in `internal/adapters/weatherapi`. The collection
-package returns normalized `weatherdata` only. It must not know about report
-IDs, prompt IDs, batch names, Daily eligibility, module composition, Recent
-Changes, state paths, or Scriptorium arguments.
-
-## Tests

-Inspect:
-

+# Comparison Execution Internals
+
+The comparison execution core receives an already prepared report and an
+already inspected, ordered profile list. It initializes an outcome for every
+selected profile, launches each started profile in its own goroutine, and
+waits for every started goroutine before returning. Results retain the supplied
+selection order even though execution completes in an arbitrary order.
+
+Every profile uses the exact inspected prompt identity and a private copy of
+the same prepared data package. Provider, generated-text validation, rendering,
+or debug-write failure becomes that profile's safe failed outcome and does not
+cancel its peers. The shared executor must support those concurrent `Execute`
+calls. The application deliberately imposes no additional semaphore: Promptkit
+owns backend capacity. A profile failure completed before a later cancellation
+remains its original safe outcome; cancellation or a deadline marks only
+unfinished or cancellation-terminated outcomes as skipped or failed, joins work,
+and prevents bundle publication.
+
+When debugging is enabled, each execution receives a deterministic reference
+derived from the comparison identity, ordered profile position, and safe
+profile slug. This keeps concurrent captures separate. The debug writer itself
+owns secure-root validation and file permissions. It safely creates shared
+missing ancestors during concurrent writes, then rejects symlink and non-
+directory components. Operational retention and sensitivity are documented in
+the [operations guide](../operations.md). This secure writer is enabled only on
+Unix hosts; comparison fails before execution when another host requests debug
+capture.
+
+The output result and its safe errors are converted into the durable contract
+only by comparison publication. See [comparison publication
+internals](comparison-publication.md) and the external [comparison bundle
+contract](../integrations/comparison-bundle.md).

+# Comparison Publication Internals
+
+`internal/comparison` separates the logical bundle from filesystem mechanics.
+The application builds a validated manifest, exact shared data-package bytes,
+and only the Markdown files for successful profiles. The durable layout,
+schema, and compatibility rules are owned by the [comparison bundle
+contract](../integrations/comparison-bundle.md).
+
+Recognition first token-validates the manifest's object fields, rejecting
+unknown, case-variant, and duplicate names before decoding its typed schema.
+Manifest validation derives each successful report filename from its ordered
+position, total profile count, and logical profile ID; logical-bundle and
+filesystem validation then require that exact path and file set.
+
+Destination planning is read-only. It requires an exact absolute target that
+is neither the filesystem root nor the working directory, rejects unsafe
+symlinks and non-directories, accepts a missing or empty directory, and permits
+replacement only for a recognized current bundle. Publication rechecks the
+destination namespace and type immediately before it writes a private sibling
+staging directory. For replacement, it moves the prior bundle to a private
+sibling backup, fully reauthorizes that moved entry, checks for cancellation,
+and restores it if cancellation or installing the new bundle prevents
+replacement. If guarded restoration fails, the error retains the prior bundle's
+recovery path.
+
+Planning also validates the final component and the bounded fixed names used
+for private staging and backup siblings. A destination that cannot form those
+names is rejected before publication creates a missing parent directory; a
+maximum-length valid destination remains usable because transaction siblings do
+not incorporate its basename.
+
+The new bundle is committed only after the staged directory has been installed
+at the target. From that point its artifact paths are authoritative: a failure
+to remove the retained sibling backup does not roll back the new bundle.
+After a cleanup failure, publication inspects the sibling without masking the
+original filesystem cause. Its inspectable cleanup result distinguishes a
+complete recognized recovery bundle, partial remnants, an absent sibling, or
+an uninspectable state. A recovery path is reported only when something
+remains; only a complete recognized bundle is suitable for rollback recovery.
+
+The application preflights before prompt inspection and collection. Publication
+performs its transaction-boundary checks and final moved-destination
+authorization before installation. A cancellation or any failure before the
+commit leaves the prior destination untouched. Completed bundles include
+partial profile results; comparison publication never coordinates Distributor
+notification. Operator-facing lifecycle and cleanup are in the
+[operations guide](../operations.md).

 # Distributor Adapter Internals
 
-This document describes the distributor upload adapter in
-`internal/adapters/distributor`.
+`internal/adapters/distributor` translates a local delivery request into the
+Distributor Go client's upload and status calls, then returns a local delivery
+result. The external API, authentication, and idempotency contract is owned by
+the [Distributor API guide](../integrations/distributor/api.md) and
+[Distributor bundle guide](../integrations/distributor/pkg-bundle.md).
 
-## Purpose
+## Client construction
 
-The adapter submits generated weatherreporter Markdown reports to a configured
-distributor HTTP upload endpoint. It supports one or more file mappings per
-upload request. It isolates distributor package types, token-env lookup, upload
-client construction, source-bundle file mapping, timeout handling, status
-polling, and upload error wrapping from app orchestration.
+`Client` holds the endpoint, the name of the environment variable containing
+the token, an optional timeout, and an injectable upstream-client factory.
+`New` validates its configuration before creating the adapter. For each upload,
+the adapter reads the token from the configured environment variable and builds
+the upstream client with that endpoint, token, and an HTTP client whose timeout
+matches the local positive timeout. Its transport reads at most 1 MiB from any
+Distributor response before the pinned client decodes it; an oversized response
+is a distinct local failure and does not trigger an extra upload attempt.
 
-## Inputs And Outputs
+The upstream client is an implementation dependency, not a source of
+application configuration: retry ownership, pipeline selection, path
+templates, and report rendering are defined by
+[configuration](../config.md) and [application orchestration](app-orchestration.md).
 
-Inputs:
+## Upload translation
 
-- distributor endpoint URL
-- token environment variable name
-- upload timeout
-- pipeline ID
-- bundle ID
-- idempotency key
-- source Markdown report paths and bundle-relative path mappings
-- bundle created timestamp
-- context for cancellation
+Before calling the dependency, `Upload` validates the endpoint and token
+configuration plus the local pipeline ID, bundle ID, idempotency key, and every
+file's source and bundle paths. It maps the request as follows:
 
-Outputs:
+| Local request | Distributor client value |
+| --- | --- |
+| Pipeline ID | Upload pipeline identifier |
+| Bundle ID | Bundle identifier |
+| Idempotency key | Upload idempotency key |
+| File source and bundle paths | Bundle file entries |
+| Creation timestamp | Bundle creation time |
 
-- accepted distributor run ID
-- accepted distributor upload status
-- distributor run status, status polling error, and raw run report JSON when available
-- weatherreporter-owned idempotency conflict error when applicable
+The call inherits the caller's context and applies the configured positive
+timeout. The adapter does not read report files, construct bundle layouts, or
+persist notification artifacts.
 
-## Boundaries
+## Status and errors
 
-`internal/adapters/distributor` is the only weatherreporter package that imports
-`gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/distributor/pkg/upload` or
-`gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/distributor/pkg/bundle`.
+An accepted upload is followed by one status request. When a timeout is
+configured, a nonterminal result is polled until `succeeded` or `failed`, or
+until the context ends. The translated `UploadResult` contains the run ID,
+status, and `RunStatus`, including pipeline ID and lifecycle timestamps.
+Remote response bodies, status reports, and remote error text are not retained
+in normal results. HTTP failures retain a local typed status-code and
+retryability classification; conflicts retain the local idempotency-conflict
+type.
 
-The app layer passes weatherreporter-owned request values to the adapter. The
-adapter does not choose report types, render templates, select output copies,
-decide whether an upload represents one report or a batch, configure
-destinations, wait for downstream publication, transform Markdown, or persist
-notification state.
+Status lookup or polling errors are preserved in `UploadResult.StatusError` so
+the caller can report an accepted-but-unconfirmed delivery, using a bounded
+repository-owned diagnostic rather than remote text. A terminal failed run
+returns that result and an error. Upload failures return no result. Upstream
+idempotency conflicts become the local `IdempotencyConflictError`, which adds
+endpoint, pipeline, bundle, idempotency, and file-path context while redacting
+the token.
 
-Full upstream distributor package and HTTP contract details stay under
-`docs/integrations/distributor/`.
+## Verification
 
-## Config Fields Used
+Focused tests cover configuration validation, request mapping, response size
+boundaries, safe diagnostics, timeouts and polling, status translation, conflict
+handling, and token redaction. A local HTTP server exercises the production
+upload and status boundary:
 
-The adapter is built from `notify.distributor` config:
-
-- `endpoint`
-- `token_env`
-- `timeout`
-
-The app layer renders single-report pipeline ID, bundle ID, idempotency key,
-and bundle paths from:
-
-- `pipeline_id_template`
-- `bundle_id_template`
-- `idempotency_key_template`
-- report-specific path templates
-
-For batch uploads, the app layer renders pipeline ID, bundle ID, and
-idempotency key from `notify.distributor.batch.*`, resolves report-specific
-path templates once per included report, and passes the resulting multi-file
-request to this adapter.
-
-Report-specific path resolution happens entirely in the app layer. Explicit
-`reports.<report>.distributor.path_templates` overrides take precedence over
-report definition defaults.
-
-The token value is read from the environment variable named by `token_env`
-after config loading and `secrets.directory` processing.
-
-## Upload Behavior
-
-The adapter calls distributor `UploadFiles` with one or more file mappings:
-
-- pipeline ID: the rendered distributor workflow selector
-- source paths: managed Markdown report paths selected by app orchestration
-- bundle paths: rendered bundle-relative report paths for each source
-- created: the report or batch generation timestamp
-
-The adapter creates a distributor upload client with the configured endpoint,
-bearer token, and timeout-backed HTTP client. It also wraps the upload context
-with the configured timeout when the timeout is greater than zero.
-
-After upload acceptance, the adapter polls distributor `Status` for the accepted
-run ID until the run reaches `succeeded` or `failed`, or until the configured
-timeout expires. It returns the latest status, error text, and raw report JSON in
-weatherreporter-owned types so app orchestration can persist them in the
-notification debug artifact. Status lookup failures or timeout before a terminal
-state are kept as debug status errors on an otherwise accepted upload. A
-terminal distributor run status of `failed` is returned as a notification failure
-with the status report preserved.
-
-## Failure Behavior
-
-The adapter validates required endpoint, token env name, token value, pipeline
-ID, bundle ID, idempotency key, upload files, source paths, bundle paths, and
-upload client inputs before uploading.
-
-Upload failures include endpoint, pipeline ID, bundle ID, idempotency key,
-source paths, and bundle paths context. Token values are redacted from adapter
-errors.
-
-Distributor idempotency conflicts are exposed as a weatherreporter-owned
-`IdempotencyConflictError`, so callers do not depend on upstream distributor
-types.
-
-## Tests
-
-Inspect:
-
-- `internal/adapters/distributor/client_test.go`
-- `internal/app/app_test.go`
-- `internal/cli/root_test.go`
-
-Adapter tests use a fake upload client factory and do not require a live
-distributor service.
-
-## Invariants
-
-- Distributor package types do not leak outside the adapter.
-- Only managed Markdown report paths selected by app orchestration are
-  uploaded.
-- The adapter never scans the workspace.
-- Token values are not included in errors, CLI output, metadata, docs, or
-  examples.
-- Destination routing and Markdown-to-HTML transformation belong to
-  distributor, not weatherreporter.

 # Fact Contracts Internals
 
-This document describes the fact contract boundary.
+`internal/facts` is the deterministic boundary between a collected weather
+bundle and report-scoped facts. It preserves normalized source values and then
+selects and summarizes the values needed for one resolved report. Provider
+transport and normalized bundle semantics belong to
+[weather-data internals](weather-data.md); report identity and valid-period
+selection belong to [report registry internals](report-registry.md).
 
-## Purpose
+## Collected facts
 
-`internal/facts` separates normalized upstream facts collected for a report run
-from conservative report-scoped facts derived from them. The package gives app
-orchestration one place to build reusable facts before module execution.
+`BuildCollected` projects a `weatherdata.Bundle` into `CollectedFacts`. It
+retains the fetched timestamp and every normalized product: observations,
+current conditions, hourly, narrative, alerts, discussion, daily, weather
+story, and convective outlook data. Source provenance and warnings are copied
+into their own slices so downstream consumers can inspect data completeness
+without treating it as an ordinary weather fact.
 
-## Inputs And Outputs
+Alert facts retain individual alert payloads for period selection together with
+their copied source provenance; they do not retain a provider response envelope.
 
-Inputs:
+A nil bundle produces an empty collected value. Collection itself, missing
+source policy, and source hashes are outside this package.
 
-- `weatherdata.Bundle` from the Weather API adapter
-- resolved report definition and valid period
-- report timezone
-- configured daypart definitions
+## Report-scoped derivation
 
-Outputs:
+`BuildDerived` requires a valid resolved period and a valid report timezone. It
+uses half-open period overlap to select hourly, narrative, daily, and alert
+data; it also derives precipitation timing. Convective outlooks are retained
+only when their valid interval overlaps the report period, with discussions
+kept for represented outlook days. Both collections are sorted deterministically.
+It rejects collected hourly data with a precipitation probability outside the
+finite 0 through 100 percentage domain before constructing derived facts.
 
-- `facts.CollectedFacts` with normalized source facts plus separate source
-  provenance and warnings. SPC convective outlook source data is carried
-  through when present in the bundle, including upstream geometry and source
-  provenance.
-- `facts.DerivedFacts` with valid-period forecast slices, alert overlaps,
-  report-period SPC convective outlooks and discussions, daily summaries,
-  daypart summaries, and Storm Report window summary
+Report identity controls the summary shape:
 
-Hourly Report uses the generic valid-period hourly and narrative selection
-for its rolling six-hour window. Its derived facts include precipitation timing
-from the selected hourly periods, alert overlaps for the six-hour period, and
-SPC outlooks/discussions overlapping that period. It does not build daily
-summaries, daypart summaries, or a storm-window summary.
+| Report family | Derived summary |
+| --- | --- |
+| Hourly | Rolling-period selections and precipitation timing; no daily or daypart summary |
+| Daily, Today, Tomorrow | One local civil-day summary and its dayparts |
 
-## Boundaries
+`DaypartSummaries` is collected from the resulting daily summaries.
+The detailed grouping, daypart-window, and alert rules are owned by
+[forecast derivation](forecast-derivation.md).
+Daily alert overlaps remain scoped to the civil day, while overnight daypart
+summaries retain alerts that overlap their complete next-day window.
 
-- This package owns fact assembly and reusable deterministic derivation for a
-  report run.
-- SPC convective outlook derivation selects already-collected outlooks whose
-  half-open valid intervals overlap the resolved report period and retains
-  discussions for represented outlook days.
-- Derived SPC outlook records preserve the collected outlook fields, including
-  geometry, for downstream components that need source-level facts. Prompt
-  modules decide which fields are exposed to Scriptorium.
-- It does not fetch upstream data, build prompt wording, compare prior
-  snapshots, write workflow state, invoke Scriptorium, or define modules.
+## Missing data and failures
 
-## Config Fields Used
+Optional normalized products remain nil or yield empty selections; the package
+does not create substitute values. A present convective-outlook run with no
+matching outlooks produces non-nil empty outlook and discussion slices, while
+a missing run produces nil slices.
 
-- `dayparts[].name`
-- `dayparts[].start`
-- `dayparts[].end`
-- `weather_api.timezone`
+Derivation fails for an invalid report period, invalid timezone, unsupported
+report ID, or when a requested daily summary has no hourly forecast data.
+Invalid daypart definitions surface from forecast derivation. The package does
+not access the CLI, filesystem, subprocesses, or network.
 
-## External Adapters Used
+## Verification and invariants

+Focused tests cover collected-fact separation, report-period selection,
+hourly behavior, daily summaries, and convective outlook selection:
 
-## State Or Manifest Behavior
+```sh

-None. Source provenance and warnings remain data fields for downstream metadata
-and inspection.
-
-## Failure Behavior
-
-- Invalid or missing report valid periods return an error.
-- Invalid timezone names return an error.
-- Missing required hourly forecast data returns the underlying forecast
-  derivation error for reports that require daily summaries.
-- Hourly Report can derive its default module facts without daily or
-  daypart summaries.
-- Missing optional narrative, alert, discussion, daily, or weather story data
-  produces empty or nil derived fields.
-- Missing optional SPC convective outlook data produces a nil collected field.
-- A present SPC convective outlook source with no report-period matches

 # Forecast Derivation Internals
 
-This document describes deterministic forecast summarization in
-`internal/forecast`.
+`internal/forecast` deterministically selects and summarizes normalized
+forecast data. It has no transport, filesystem, CLI, subprocess, or report
+registry dependency. The report-scoped caller is [fact
+contracts](facts.md), which owns the choice of data required by each report.
 
-## Purpose
+## Daily Derivation
 
-`internal/forecast` converts normalized weather data into daily and period
-summaries used by fact builders and module builders.
+`BuildDailySummary` builds one summary for one local civil day. The facts
+layer calls it for Daily, Today, and Tomorrow reports; it does not provide a
+multi-day or arbitrary-period summary constructor. `timeutil.Period` supplies
+the shared half-open overlap rule used while selecting source values.
 
-## Inputs And Outputs
+`ResolveDayparts` turns configured local clock ranges into windows. A range
+whose end is not after its start continues into the next civil day. The
+available daypart and timezone settings are defined in the
+[configuration reference](../config.md).
 
-Inputs:
+The summary keeps selected hourly and narrative values, the discussion,
+source warnings and provenance, alert overlaps, and one summary for each
+resolved daypart. Daypart summaries derive their measurements, conditions,
+weather indicators, and precipitation timing from normalized forecast
+periods. `BuildPrecipTiming` is also available to the facts layer for a
+report's selected hourly periods.
 
-- `weatherdata.Bundle`
-- local date or resolved report period
-- timezone
-- configured daypart definitions
+## Boundaries And Failures
 
-Outputs:
+Daily-summary construction requires a bundle with hourly forecast data,
+valid precipitation probabilities, and valid daypart definitions. Optional
+normalized products remain absent when unavailable. Invalid alerts are ignored
+while valid overlaps are selected for the relevant day or daypart window.
 
-- `forecast.DailySummary` for one local civil day
-- one clipped daily summary per local day or partial day from
-  `BuildPeriodDailySummaries`
-- daypart summaries with selected hourly periods, ranges, timed maximums,
-  conditions, indicators, and alert overlaps
+Thresholds, text classification, unit normalization, and alert selection are
+package implementation rules. Report identity, period selection, and the
+resulting derived-fact shape are owned by [fact contracts](facts.md); external

+## Verification
 
-- This package groups, selects, and summarizes already-normalized forecast
-  data.
-- It does not perform HTTP calls, parse CLI flags, resolve report definitions,
-  compare prior snapshots, build prompt input packages, or invoke Scriptorium.
+Focused `internal/forecast` tests exercise daily and overnight dayparts,
+summary derivation, invalid precipitation data, precipitation timing, and
+alert overlap handling. `internal/facts` tests cover the report-scoped caller:
 
-## Config Fields Used
-
-- `dayparts[].name`
-- `dayparts[].start`
-- `dayparts[].end`
-
-Threshold constants for basic indicators live in forecast code rather than
-configuration.
-
-## External Adapters Used
-
-None directly. Forecast data arrives through `weatherdata.Bundle`.
-
-## State Or Manifest Behavior
-
-None. Source warnings and provenance from the bundle are carried into summaries
-for later metadata and module output.
-
-## Skip And Resume Behavior
-
-None. Missing optional source context can produce empty selections, but missing
-required hourly data fails summarization.
-
-## Failure Behavior
-
-- A nil bundle or missing hourly forecast data returns an error.
-- Invalid daypart definitions return parse errors with context.
-- Alert records without parseable RFC3339 timing are skipped.
-- Empty selected periods produce empty summaries rather than generated prose.
-
-## Tests

-
-## Invariants
-
-- Go owns report-period selection and meteorological summarization.
-- Weather facts come from normalized source data.
-- Outputs remain JSON-inspectable and independent of CLI, state, and adapters.

 # Generated Text Internals
 
-This document describes structured generated-text handling in
-`internal/generatedtext`.
+`internal/generatedtext` validates the structured prose produced for generated-
+text reports and turns validated prose plus rich module values into typed render
+contexts. It owns the catalog that pairs a generated-text report definition
+with its validator, schema ID, template ID, and context builder. The complete
+maintainer-facing context fields belong to [report templates](../templates.md).
 
-## Purpose
+## Catalog and validation
 
-`internal/generatedtext` validates structured text returned for
-generated-text-template reports and builds curated render contexts for
-templates. It also owns the generated-text catalog that connects report
-definitions to validators, render-context builders, schema assets, and template
-assets.
+The Daily, Today, Tomorrow, and Hourly report definitions each use structured
+generated text. `LookupDefinition` requires the exact report, schema, and
+template triple and rejects unknown IDs, unsupported pairs, and a pair that
+belongs to another report before the run begins. A handler validates and
+normalizes raw JSON into a typed value, loads its canonical schema through
+`internal/promptassets`, builds a render context, and renders through
+`internal/reporttemplate`.
 
-## Inputs And Outputs
+Daily, Today, and Tomorrow use a day-style value with required trimmed summary
+and one or more nonblank discussion paragraphs. Hourly requires trimmed summary
+and a single trimmed discussion string. Every form also requires the
+`precipitation_timing` field; an empty string means there is no supported timing
+prose to render. Typed decoding requires the exact lowercase JSON field names,
+rejects missing, duplicate, case-variant, and unknown fields, and checks field
+shapes; no general-purpose JSON Schema engine is used at runtime.
 
-Inputs:
+The validator accepts at most 64 KiB of raw JSON before it allocates typed
+values. Its JSON Schemas and typed checks limit `summary` and
+`precipitation_timing` to 4,000 characters each. Hourly
+`forecast_discussion` is limited to 12,000 characters. Day-style discussion
+accepts at most 12 paragraphs of at most 4,000 characters each. Across all
+prose fields, one report may contain at most 20,000 characters. These bounds
+apply before trimming, filtering, normalization, and template rendering.
 
-- raw GeneratedText JSON for Daily, Today, Tomorrow Report, or Hourly Report
-- report metadata from `internal/briefing`
-- a module snapshot from `internal/module`
-- validated generated text
+Malformed JSON and field values return short, content-safe errors. They name
+only canonical fields where useful and never echo provider values or unknown
+field names. The Promptkit adapter also drops an oversized provider result
+before copying it into execution or debug state; direct executor implementations
+receive the same enforcement in this package.
 
-Outputs:
+## Render contexts
 
-- typed `Daily` generated text
-- typed `Today` generated text
-- typed `Tomorrow` generated text
-- typed `Hourly` generated text
-- normalized stable JSON for validated generated text
-- typed `DailyRenderContext` values for `internal/reporttemplate`
-- typed `TodayRenderContext` values for `internal/reporttemplate`
-- typed `TomorrowRenderContext` values for `internal/reporttemplate`
-- typed `HourlyRenderContext` values for `internal/reporttemplate`
-- generated-text catalog handlers for report definitions that use
-  `generated_text_template`
+The catalog's report-specific builders receive the prepared report identity, a
+rich module snapshot, derived facts needed to order dayparts, and the matching
+validated generated text. They require the identity's report ID to match the
+selected builder. When the optional metadata stanza is present, every shared
+identity field must agree with that prepared authority before context
+construction continues. Builders then decode the module stanzas needed by the
+template and build typed Daily, Today, Tomorrow, or Hourly contexts. Contexts
+expose only display-ready report values, generated prose, and module values;
+they do not expose complete collected or derived fact bundles. Ordered slices
+remain the template iteration surface rather than maps.
 
-## JSON Contracts
+Optional source stanzas become nil or fallback context fields. Today also
+computes whether its ordered dayparts contain a displayable condition so the
+template can render either rows or its explicit no-details fallback. Missing
+required stanzas, type-decoding failures, conflicting identity values, invalid
+metadata, or a generated-text type that does not match the chosen handler fail
+before template execution. Prompt packages, raw Promptkit output handling, and
+template asset lookup remain outside this package.
 
-Daily, Today, and Tomorrow use the same day-style generated-text JSON shape:
+## Verification and invariants
 
-```json
-{
-  "summary": "string",
-  "forecast_discussion": ["string"],
-  "precipitation_timing": "string",
-  "confidence": "string"
-}
+Focused tests cover the catalog, each report-specific validator, normalization,
+schema/template mismatches, context construction, optional modules, and typed
+stanza errors:
+
+```sh
+go test ./internal/generatedtext
 ```
 
-The day-style contract requires `summary` after trimming whitespace.
-`forecast_discussion` must contain at least one nonblank paragraph after
-trimming blank items. `precipitation_timing` and `confidence` are optional and
-omitted from normalized JSON when blank. Unknown fields are rejected.
-
-The report-specific Go API is:
-
-| Report | Type | Validator | Schema ID | Template ID | Prompt ID |
-| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
-| Daily Report | `Daily` | `ValidateDaily` | `daily` | `daily` | `weather.daily_generated_text` |
-| Today Report | `Today` | `ValidateToday` | `today` | `today` | `weather.today_generated_text` |
-| Tomorrow Report | `Tomorrow` | `ValidateTomorrow` | `tomorrow` | `tomorrow` | `weather.tomorrow_generated_text` |
-
-Hourly generated text uses the same top-level field names, but
-`forecast_discussion` is a single string:
-
-```json
-{
-  "summary": "string",
-  "forecast_discussion": "string",
-  "precipitation_timing": "string",
-  "confidence": "string"
-}
-```
-
-Hourly `summary` and `forecast_discussion` are required after trimming
-whitespace. `precipitation_timing` and `confidence` are optional and omitted
-from normalized JSON when blank. Unknown fields are rejected. The Hourly catalog
-entry uses type `Hourly`, validator `ValidateHourly`, schema ID `hourly`,
-template ID `hourly`, and prompt ID `weather.hourly_generated_text`.
-
-## Render Contexts
-
-Daily, Today, Tomorrow, and Hourly render contexts all include:
-
-- display metadata derived from report metadata;
-- validated generated text;
-- typed module outputs decoded from the module snapshot;
-- collected facts;
-- derived facts.
-
-Daily, Today, and Tomorrow share common civil-day render-context fields such as
-forecast date labels, valid period, generated-at labels, current conditions,
-hourly forecast, precipitation timing, alert digest, SPC outlooks, AFD, SPC
-discussion, weather story, daily summary, and ordered daypart summaries.
-
-Each civil-day report keeps its report-specific planning module:
-
-- Daily exposes `DailyPlanning`.
-- Today exposes `TodayPlanning`.
-- Tomorrow exposes `TomorrowPlanning`.
-
-Today's ordered daypart context omits unavailable or elapsed dayparts according
-to Today report rules. Daily and Tomorrow use fallback daypart behavior.
-
-## Boundaries
-
-- This package owns typed generated-text validation and render-context shaping.
-- It owns generated-text catalog lookup for schema/template combinations.
-- It uses typed module snapshot decoding through `module.StanzaValue`.
-- It does not invoke Scriptorium, write state artifacts, choose report
-  definitions, compare snapshots, or own embedded template/schema files.
-- It renders through `internal/reporttemplate`; embedded asset lookup remains
-  in `internal/reporttemplate`.
-- It does not use a Go JSON Schema dependency; schema enforcement in Go is
-  limited to typed JSON decoding, unknown-field rejection, and required-field
-  checks.
-
-## Failure Behavior
-
-- Malformed generated-text JSON fails with decode context.
-- Unknown generated-text JSON fields fail during decoding.
-- Empty required fields fail after trimming whitespace.
-- Daily, Today, and Tomorrow forecast discussion fails when no nonblank
-  paragraphs remain.
-- Missing optional render-context stanzas become nil module pointers.
-- Invalid render metadata, including missing timezone, missing generated time,
-  or invalid valid period, fails before template rendering.
-- Unsupported generated-text schema IDs, template IDs, or schema/template
-  combinations fail during catalog lookup with report ID context.
-
-## Tests
-
-Inspect:
-
-- `internal/generatedtext/hourly_test.go`
-- `internal/generatedtext/daily_test.go`
-- `internal/generatedtext/today_test.go`
-- `internal/generatedtext/tomorrow_test.go`
-- `internal/generatedtext/catalog_test.go`
-- `internal/generatedtext/render_context_test.go`
-
-## Invariants
-
-- Render contexts are curated structs, not raw prompt-input packages.
-- Required generated text is normalized before downstream artifact storage.
-- Generated-text-template reports must have one catalog entry matching their
-  report definition schema and template IDs.
-- Missing optional weather narrative stanzas produce empty or fallback render
-  context fields rather than forcing raw module data into templates.
+Generated text supplies prose slots only; deterministic weather facts remain in
+module and fact values. The renderer applies its plain-text policy to every
+generated prose insertion, preserving ordinary text and paragraph breaks while
+preventing provider text from creating Markdown or HTML structure. Every report
+definition must resolve to exactly one supported catalog pair.

 # Module Contract Internals
 
-This document describes the module contract in `internal/module`.
+`internal/module` defines the envelope between report composition,
+module builders, in-memory snapshots, templates, and prompt packages. It
+does not define a report, execute a builder, or choose prompt-export policy;
+those responsibilities belong to [report registry](report-registry.md) and
+[briefing](briefing.md).
 
-## Purpose
+## Outputs and snapshots
 
-`internal/module` defines the shared identifiers and data envelopes used for
-report modules. Report definitions use module IDs for composition, module
-builders produce rich outputs with stanza names, prompt input packages consume
-runtime prompt export values, and Recent Changes compares snapshot stanzas.
+Each `Output` has a module ID, stanza name, rich `Value`, and runtime-only
+`PromptValue`. `DataPackageValue` returns the prompt value when present and
+otherwise the rich value. This permits custom prompt exports without shrinking
+the template value.
 
-## Inputs And Outputs
+`NewSnapshot` builds and validates the ordered in-memory snapshot. Its JSON
+representation carries a package-owned schema marker, IDs, stanza names, and rich values only;
+`PromptValue` is deliberately excluded. `StanzaValue` decodes a named rich
+stanza into a caller-supplied type, reporting a missing stanza separately from
+a decoding error.
 
-Inputs:
+Snapshots reject missing schema versions, empty IDs or stanza names, and
+duplicate IDs or stanza names. Output order is caller-owned and preserved.
 
-- ordered `module.ConfigItem` values from report definitions or config
-  overrides
-- `module.Output` values produced by module builders
+## Registered IDs and default composition
 
-Outputs:
+The registered IDs are `metadata`, `current_conditions`,
+`narrative_forecast`, `hourly_forecast`, `derived_daily_summary`,
+`derived_daypart_summaries`, `precip_timing`, `alert_digest`,
+`spc_convective_outlooks`, `area_forecast_discussion`,
+`spc_convective_discussion`, `weather_story`, `outdoor_windows`,
+`today_planning`, `tomorrow_planning`, and `daily_planning`.
 
-- stable `module.ID` constants
-- typed option structs for registered modules
-- `module.Snapshot` with schema version `weatherreporter.modules.v1`
-- ordered snapshot outputs with module ID, stanza name, and typed value
-- runtime-only prompt export values on module outputs
-- `module.Output.DataPackageValue`, which selects the prompt export value and
-  falls back to the rich value for hand-built or loaded snapshots
-- typed stanza lookup through `module.StanzaValue`
+The registry declares these ordered default compositions:
 
-## Rich Values And Prompt Exports
+| Report | Ordered modules |
+| --- | --- |
+| Daily | metadata, current conditions, narrative forecast, daily summary, daypart summaries, precipitation timing, alert digest, SPC outlooks, AFD (long term), SPC discussion, weather story, outdoor windows, daily planning, hourly forecast |
+| Today | metadata, current conditions, narrative forecast, daily summary, daypart summaries, precipitation timing, alert digest, SPC outlooks, AFD, SPC discussion, weather story, outdoor windows, hourly forecast, today planning |
+| Tomorrow | metadata, current conditions, narrative forecast, daily summary, daypart summaries, precipitation timing, alert digest, SPC outlooks, AFD, SPC discussion, weather story, outdoor windows, tomorrow planning, hourly forecast |
+| Hourly | metadata, current conditions, hourly forecast, precipitation timing, alert digest, SPC outlooks, AFD (key messages and short term), SPC discussion, weather story |
 
-Each `module.Output` has two value surfaces:
+The only non-empty default option is the AFD section selection. It accepts a
+`sections` list; omitted or empty selects all available sections. Report
+definitions may narrow it as shown above. Option shape and report compatibility
+are validated by the briefing registry. Accepted typed option pointers are
+canonicalized to the declared value type before a module builder receives them.
 
-- `Value`: the rich module value used by templates, module snapshots,
-  inspection, Recent Changes, and render contexts.
-- `PromptValue`: the runtime-only prompt export used when building Scriptorium
-  data packages.
+## Rich and prompt-facing values
 
-`PromptValue` is deliberately excluded from module snapshot JSON. Persisted
-module snapshots keep only the rich `value` field so inspection and
-render-context reconstruction keep the full deterministic template surface.
+Rich values remain available to module snapshots and render contexts.
+Briefing attaches custom prompt exports only for current conditions, hourly
+forecast, and derived daypart summaries; all other current builders use
+pass-through values. The prompt package owns how exported stanzas are grouped
+and serialized; see [prompt input](prompt-input.md).
 
-The `internal/briefing` module registry attaches prompt export values when it
-builds module outputs. Modules without a custom exporter use default
-pass-through behavior, so their prompt value is the same as their rich value.
-Modules with custom prompt export policy own typed prompt export structs near
-the module builder. Custom prompt exports are:
+## Verification and invariants
 
-- `current_conditions`
-- `hourly_forecast`
-- `derived_daypart_summaries`
+Focused tests cover snapshot validation and order, typed stanza lookup, and
+prompt-value fallback:
 
-Custom exporters remove template-only helpers or confusing duplicates from the
-data package without shrinking the rich module structs used by templates.
-Exporter failures include module ID and stanza context.
-
-## Registered Module IDs
-
-The registry recognizes these IDs:
-
-- `metadata`
-- `current_conditions`
-- `narrative_forecast`
-- `hourly_forecast`
-- `derived_daily_summary`
-- `derived_daypart_summaries`
-- `precip_timing`
-- `alert_digest`
-- `spc_convective_outlooks`
-- `area_forecast_discussion`
-- `spc_convective_discussion`
-- `weather_story`
-- `outdoor_windows`
-- `today_planning`
-- `tomorrow_planning`
-- `daily_planning`
-
-Every registered module has a builder. Report composition entries that refer to
-unknown or unimplemented module IDs fail validation instead of being skipped.
-
-## Daily Composition
-
-The default Daily Report module order is:
-
-1. `metadata`
-2. `current_conditions`
-3. `narrative_forecast`
-4. `derived_daily_summary`
-5. `derived_daypart_summaries`
-6. `precip_timing`
-7. `alert_digest`
-8. `spc_convective_outlooks`
-9. `area_forecast_discussion`
-10. `spc_convective_discussion`
-11. `weather_story`
-12. `outdoor_windows`
-13. `daily_planning`
-14. `hourly_forecast`
-
-The embedded Daily template uses selected deterministic fields from these
-module outputs after GeneratedText validation.
-
-## Today Composition
-
-The default Today Report module order is:
-
-1. `metadata`
-2. `current_conditions`
-3. `narrative_forecast`
-4. `derived_daily_summary`
-5. `derived_daypart_summaries`
-6. `precip_timing`
-7. `alert_digest`
-8. `spc_convective_outlooks`
-9. `area_forecast_discussion`
-10. `spc_convective_discussion`
-11. `weather_story`
-12. `outdoor_windows`
-13. `hourly_forecast`
-14. `today_planning`
-
-The embedded Today template uses selected deterministic fields from these
-module outputs after GeneratedText validation.
-
-## Tomorrow Composition
-
-The default Tomorrow Report module order is:
-
-1. `metadata`
-2. `current_conditions`
-3. `narrative_forecast`
-4. `derived_daily_summary`
-5. `derived_daypart_summaries`
-6. `precip_timing`
-7. `alert_digest`
-8. `spc_convective_outlooks`
-9. `area_forecast_discussion`
-10. `spc_convective_discussion`
-11. `weather_story`
-12. `outdoor_windows`
-13. `tomorrow_planning`
-14. `hourly_forecast`
-
-The embedded Tomorrow template uses selected deterministic fields from these
-module outputs after GeneratedText validation.
-
-## Daily Planning
-
-`daily_planning` emits dated daily planning facts for the `daily` report ID.
-Its output stanza is also named `daily_planning`. The module is supported only
-by that report ID and depends on daily summaries for the selected local civil
-day. The default Daily Report composition includes it.
-
-The output uses this shape:
-
-- `morning_readiness`
-- `commute_school_workday_concerns`
-- `overnight_change_watch`
-
-The type is `briefing.DailyPlanningModule`; it is independent from
-`briefing.TomorrowPlanningModule`.
-
-## Today Planning
-
-`today_planning` emits current-day planning facts for Today Report. Its output
-stanza is also named `today_planning`. The module is supported only by Today
-Report and depends on daily and daypart summaries for the current local civil
-day.
-
-The output uses this shape:
-
-- `morning_readiness`
-- `commute_school_workday_concerns`
-- `outdoor_planning`
-- `late_day_change_watch`
-
-The type is `briefing.TodayPlanningModule`; it is independent from
-`briefing.TomorrowPlanningModule`.
-
-## Hourly Composition
-
-The default Hourly Report module order is:
-
-1. `metadata`
-2. `current_conditions`
-3. `hourly_forecast`
-4. `precip_timing`
-5. `alert_digest`
-6. `spc_convective_outlooks`
-7. `area_forecast_discussion`
-8. `spc_convective_discussion`
-9. `weather_story`
-
-Hourly Report does not include daily or daypart summary modules by default.
-Its `area_forecast_discussion` item is configured to include only
-`key_messages` and `short_term`.
-
-## Options
-
-Most modules use an empty options struct, including
-`spc_convective_outlooks` and `spc_convective_discussion`.
-`area_forecast_discussion` accepts:
-
-```yaml
-sections:
-  - product
-  - key_messages
-  - short_term
-  - long_term
+```sh
+go test ./internal/module
 ```
 
-An omitted or empty `sections` list includes all available discussion sections.
-Invalid option shapes fail during config normalization or composition
-validation.
-
-## SPC Convective Module Outputs
-
-`spc_convective_outlooks` emits a risk-product stanza with:
-
-- `checked`
-- `as_of`
-- `issued_at`
-- `location_id`
-- `location_name`
-- `outlook_count`
-- `outlooks`
-- `risk_digest`
-
-Each outlook entry may include `day`, `outlook_type`, `label`, `label_text`,
-`period_begins`, `period_ends`, `issued_at`, `contains_location`, and
-`image_url`. It omits GeoJSON geometry, source URL, expiration time, and
-severity rank.
-
-The optional `risk_digest` list is a curated report-rendering subset of
-categorical outlooks that overlap the report period, contain the configured
-location, and meet the minimum severity threshold. Entries include `label_text`,
-`risk_label`, `period_begins`, and `period_ends`; they do not expose severity
-rank.
-
-`spc_convective_discussion` emits a narrative stanza only when a retained
-report-period categorical outlook has severity rank `3` or higher and matching
-discussion text is available. Its output includes `included_because` and
-`discussions`; each discussion may include `day`, `period_begins`,
-`period_ends`, `headline`, `summary`, `discussion`, and `updated_at`.
-Discussions are included only for SPC days whose retained categorical outlooks
-meet the severity threshold.
-
-## Boundaries
-
-- This package owns module identifiers, config item envelopes, output
-  envelopes, snapshot validation, and typed stanza lookup.
-- It does not define report IDs, execute builders, collect weather data, derive
-  forecast facts, write state, or invoke Scriptorium.
-
-## State Or Manifest Behavior
-
-`module.Snapshot` values are persisted by `internal/state` as JSON. Snapshot
-validation rejects missing schema version, missing module IDs, missing stanza
-names, duplicate module outputs, and duplicate stanza names while preserving
-output order. Snapshot JSON contains rich module values only; runtime prompt
-export values are not persisted.
-
-## Failure Behavior
-
-- Snapshot construction fails for duplicate module outputs or duplicate stanza
-  names.
-- Typed stanza lookup returns `found=false` for missing stanzas.
-- Typed stanza lookup wraps JSON marshal/decode failures with stanza context.
-
-## Tests
-
-Inspect:
-
-- `internal/module/module_test.go`
-- `internal/briefing/modules_test.go`
-- `internal/report/period_test.go`
-
-## Invariants
-
-- `internal/module` does not import `internal/report`.
-- Module IDs are stable strings.
-- Each emitted module output has exactly one stanza name and one rich typed
-  value.
-- Built module outputs have a data-package value, either from a custom prompt
-  exporter or from default pass-through behavior.
-- Snapshot output order is caller-owned and preserved.
+Module IDs and stanza names are stable, every emitted output has one of each,
+and this package never imports the report registry.

+# Prepared Report Internals
+
+`internal/app` validates the report's generated-text catalog binding during
+prompt inspection, before collection, and carries the resulting handler into
+`preparedReport` construction after collection. This is the immutable boundary
+shared by ordinary report generation and profile comparison; it is not a
+durable artifact.
+
+Preparation first establishes one `PreparedIdentity` for the report run, report
+and prompt IDs, variant, generation time, units, timezone, valid period,
+location, and source warnings. It passes that identity to the configured module
+snapshot, curated prompt-input package, serialized YAML, generated-text render
+context, and generated-text definition. Each boundary projects only the fields
+it needs from that prepared authority.
+
+Preparation deep-copies mutable facts, snapshots, identity, and data-package
+bytes before returning them. Consumers receive independent copies so one
+execution cannot change another's input or rendering context.
+
+Before accepting generated JSON, the execution boundary reconciles the prepared
+report definition, inspected prompt hash and selected profile identity, the one
+preparation callback, and the completed Promptkit result. The callback and
+completion must agree on prompt, profile, backend, model, and rendered/input
+hashes; the callback output must also carry the prepared report's configured
+repair budget, while the completed validation records the actual corrective
+calls used within that budget. A mismatch produces no rendered Markdown and leaves
+results with only the inspected safe identity.
+
+Single-report generation executes one prepared profile and publishes its
+Markdown. Comparison prepares once, gives every selected profile the same YAML
+bytes, and only then assembles the resulting logical bundle. The prompt-input
+shape is owned by [prompt-input internals](prompt-input.md); profile execution
+semantics are owned by [Promptkit integration](../integrations/promptkit.md).
+
+Catalog incompatibility stops prompt inspection before weather collection or
+model work. Preparation failure has no publication side effects. Tests for this
+boundary cover catalog-preflight ordering, mutation isolation, byte equality,
+and reuse by both execution paths.

 # Prompt Input Internals
 
-This document describes YAML prompt data package construction in
-`internal/promptinput`.
+`internal/promptinput` turns prepared report metadata and an ordered module
+snapshot into the YAML data package passed to Promptkit. The externally visible
+prompt and inline-input contract is owned by the [Promptkit integration
+guide](../integrations/promptkit.md); preparation of the inputs is owned by
+[prepared report internals](prepared-report.md).
 
-## Purpose
+## Package Construction
 
-`internal/promptinput` converts report metadata, ordered module outputs, Recent
-Changes, and source warnings into the `data_package` file passed to
-Scriptorium.
+`Build` projects report identity, the report-local current date, source-warning
+summaries, and each snapshot output's prompt-facing value into a package. It
+does not expose source transport or provenance details. The module snapshot
+defines stanza order and selects curated prompt values; the corresponding
+module contracts are documented in [module internals](module.md) and [briefing
+internals](briefing.md).
 
-The persisted data package is YAML with schema version
-`weatherreporter.data_package.v3`. It is separate from the JSON module snapshot
-used for inspection and comparison. Data packages serialize each module
-output's prompt export value, not necessarily the full rich module value saved
-in the module snapshot.
+`MarshalYAML` validates the package before serializing it. Serialization emits
+the metadata stanza first, then groups the remaining recognized stanzas in the
+package's fixed category order while preserving snapshot order within a
+category. `Validate` enforces the supported schema version, required report
+identity and period values, and a nonempty, complete ordered briefing.
 
-## Inputs And Outputs
+This package does not collect weather, choose an output destination, execute a
+provider, or persist data packages. The application passes its in-memory YAML
+to the Promptkit adapter as part of prepared report execution.
 
-Inputs:
+## Verification
 
-- report metadata from app/state orchestration
-- `module.Snapshot`
-- optional `[]changes.Change`
+Focused tests cover package construction, report-local dates, validation,
+curated snapshot exports, deterministic YAML grouping, and safe source-warning
+projection:
 
-Outputs:
-
-- `promptinput.Package` with schema version, RunID, report metadata, named
-  module stanzas grouped for prompt presentation, Recent Changes, and source
-  warnings
-- YAML bytes from `promptinput.MarshalYAML`

-
-The `briefing` mapping keeps `metadata` directly under `briefing` and groups
-weather module stanzas under prompt-facing categories. This grouping is a YAML
-presentation concern only: module snapshots remain flat, and loaded
-`promptinput.Package` values expose flat stanza names in `Briefing.Values`.
-Within each category, stanza order follows the module snapshot output order.
-Prompt-facing module intervals use local `period_begins` and `period_ends`
-labels; canonical report metadata and source timestamps remain structured
-timestamps where applicable.
-
-## Module Export Boundary
-
-Data packages are curated prompt inputs. They are not full template render
-contexts and should not be treated as a dump of every field available to Go
-templates.
-
-When module outputs are built by `internal/briefing`, the registry attaches a
-runtime prompt export value. `internal/promptinput` serializes
-`output.DataPackageValue()` for each stanza. That helper prefers the runtime
-prompt export and falls back to the rich `Value` when no prompt export is set,
-which keeps loaded snapshots and hand-built tests usable.
-
-Modules without custom export policy use pass-through behavior. Modules with
-custom exports currently include:
-
-- `current_conditions`: omits lower-case condition text and duplicate
-  wind-direction text.
-- `hourly_forecast`: omits hour labels, lower-case description text, and the
-  template precipitation-mention helper while keeping forecast facts.
-- `derived_daypart_summaries`: omits deterministic sentence-construction
-  helpers while keeping daypart period, condition, temperature trend,
-  precipitation, wind, notable-condition, hazard, and alert-relevance facts.
-
-The rich module snapshot and generated-template render context still contain
-the helper fields used by deterministic Markdown templates.
-
-Daily Report, Today Report, Tomorrow Report, and Hourly Report module snapshots
-use the same package schema and categories when converted into prompt input.
-The default hourly module list places
-`precip_timing` under `derived_summaries`, alert and SPC outlooks under
-`applicable_risk_products`, AFD/SPC discussion/weather story under
-`narrative_products`, and current/hourly data under `raw_data`. It does not
-include civil-day summary stanzas. Generated-text and render context artifacts
-are produced later in app orchestration and are not part of the YAML data
-package.
-
-The default Daily, Today, and Tomorrow module lists include civil-day summary
-stanzas, planning stanzas, and `hourly_forecast` in the data package before
-structured GeneratedText is requested from Scriptorium. Daily uses
-`daily_planning`, Today uses `today_planning`, and Tomorrow uses
-`tomorrow_planning`.
-
-Current categories are:
-
-- `applicable_risk_products`: location-applicable alerts, warnings, outlooks,
-  and similar risk products. Current stanzas include `alert_digest` and
-  `spc_convective_outlooks`.
-- `derived_summaries`: deterministic summaries and calculated report facts.
-- `narrative_products`: official narrative text products and forecast stories.
-  Current stanzas include `narrative_forecast`,
-  `area_forecast_discussion`, `spc_convective_discussion`, and
-  `weather_story`.
-- `raw_data`: minimally transformed underlying weather data.
-
-## Boundaries
-
-- This package owns prompt package schema, YAML marshaling, YAML loading, and
-  validation.
-- It does not collect weather data, derive forecast summaries, execute modules,
-  choose module prompt export shapes, find prior snapshots, compare changes,
-  choose artifact paths, or invoke Scriptorium.
-
-## Config Fields Used
-
-None directly. Config-derived values such as timezone, units, and prompt
-location are already present in report metadata and module stanzas before this
-package runs.
-
-## External Adapters Used
-
-None.
-
-## State Or Manifest Behavior
-
-`promptinput.Save` writes YAML atomically. Managed workspace paths are owned by
-`internal/state`.
-
-## Skip And Resume Behavior
-
-None. Recent Changes is always present as an `items` list and may be empty.
-
-## Failure Behavior
-
-Validation fails before render preflight when required top-level fields are
-missing or inconsistent, when the valid period is invalid, or when no module
-stanzas are present. Save failures include filesystem operation and path
-context.
-
-## Tests
-
-Inspect:
-
-- `internal/promptinput/package_test.go`
-- `internal/app/app_test.go`
-
-## Invariants
-
-- Scriptorium receives structured YAML through `--input data_package=<path>`.
-- Module stanza order is deterministic within each prompt-facing category.
-- Every non-metadata module stanza has exactly one prompt-input category.
-- Data-package stanzas use curated module prompt exports when present and rich
-  values only as pass-through or fallback values.
-- Data packages are narrower than generated-template render contexts.
-- Recent Changes are provided by `internal/changes`; this package does not
-  infer changes from rendered report text.

+# Promptkit Adapter Internals
+
+`internal/adapters/promptkit` maps Weatherreporter's project-owned executor contract to Promptkit. The CLI maps `promptkit` configuration to a `PromptExecutorConfig` and constructs one executor per action. Promptkit dependency types do not escape the adapter.
+
+The adapter supplies Weatherreporter's embedded prompt, schema, and fallback profile filesystems to each engine. Promptkit resolves configured operator profile sources, embedded profile aliases and their bases, and its built-in catalog; the adapter does not parse profile YAML, resolve inheritance, merge sources, inspect optional environment credentials, or probe endpoints.
+
+The adapter exposes exact prompt and profile validation plus prepared execution. It maps safe prompt identity, logical profile, effective backend/model, preparation, execution, validation, and optional debug values into `promptexec`. An empty backend identity remains valid for an endpoint-only profile; a nonblank model is required. PromptKit's configured repair-call budget and the completed result's actual corrective-call count are retained, along with its cumulative provider usage and final candidate. Structured provider generation failures become project-owned redacted generation errors that retain only bounded details through explicit accessors. `Execute` passes the YAML package as an inline Promptkit input; it does not construct a filesystem URI or write a package file.
+
+The application uses the preparation callback to record active safe provenance in memory and optionally writes content-rich diagnostics only through an explicit debug writer. The adapter returns raw output for application validation and rendering. It does not retain application state, render Markdown, choose report definitions, or send Distributor notifications.
+
+Focused tests:
+
+```sh
+go test ./internal/adapters/promptkit ./internal/cli ./internal/app
+```
+
+The public logical prompt/profile/schema contract is owned by the [Promptkit integration guide](../integrations/promptkit.md).

 # Report Registry Internals
 
-This document describes report identity, valid-period resolution, output
-naming, artifact grouping, batch command names, and comparison declarations in
-`internal/report`.
+`internal/report` owns the in-process registry of report identities and the
+resolution of a report's valid period. Command names and configuration aliases
+belong to the [CLI reference](../cli.md) and [configuration
+reference](../config.md), respectively.
 
-## Purpose
+## Registry And Resolution
 
-`internal/report` is the canonical source for report definitions, public
-command names, config-key aliases, and batch command names. App, config, state,
-module building, and CLI wiring consume report-owned helpers and resolved
-definitions instead of owning report identity policy themselves.
+`DefaultRegistry` supplies the maintained definitions. `Lookup` returns a
+definition by its internal ID, while `Resolve` combines it with a request time,
+location, and optional date to produce `Resolved`. The result carries the
+definition, generation time, timezone, and resolved valid period; its metadata
+and output-name helpers keep derived identity values consistent for callers.
 
-## Definition Fields
+Definitions carry the internal collaborators needed downstream: prompt and
+template identity, module configuration, output naming, Distributor path
+templates, and fixed batch eligibility. The external prompt contract is owned
+by the [Promptkit integration guide](../integrations/promptkit.md), template
+surface by the [report template guide](../templates.md), and published
+Distributor paths by the [Distributor bundle guide](../integrations/distributor/pkg-bundle.md).
 
-Each report definition declares:
+`WithModuleOverrides` returns an independently cloned registry with replacement
+module configuration for recognized report IDs. The application owns batch
+planning and data-dependent inclusion; see [app orchestration
+internals](app-orchestration.md).
 
-- report ID and display name
-- Scriptorium prompt ID
-- generation mode
-- valid-period resolver
-- comparison strategy
-- managed artifact group
-- batch output copy filename
-- generated-report eligibility
-- prior-report compatibility list
-- default ordered module composition
+The registry never collects weather data, parses CLI flags, writes output,
+executes Promptkit, or delivers a report.
 
-Report-owned helpers map public command names and config keys to report IDs.
-The generate command names are `daily`, `today`, `tomorrow`, `hourly`,
-`three-day`, `weekend`, and `storm`. Config keys also accept selected
-underscore and descriptive aliases such as `three_day_outlook`,
-`weekend_outlook`, and `storm_report`.
+## Verification
 
-`daily` resolves to the dated Daily Report ID `daily`. `today` resolves to the
-independent Today report ID `today`. `reports.today` is not an alias for
-`reports.daily`, and retired report keys are not supported.
+Focused tests protect retained report definitions, period resolution, Daily
+run-ID disambiguation, and rejection of retired command or configuration names:
 
-Markdown report definitions use the `scriptorium_markdown` generation mode.
-Their template and structured-text schema identifiers are empty. Daily Report,
-Today Report, Tomorrow Report, and Hourly Report declare
-`generated_text_template`; the app uses their template and schema identifiers
-to validate generated text and render embedded Markdown templates.
-
-## Reports
-
-| Report | ID | Prompt | Generation mode | Artifact group | Batch copy | Prior compatibility |
-| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
-| Daily Report | `daily` | `weather.daily_generated_text` | `generated_text_template` | `daily` | `daily.md` | Daily Report |
-| Today Report | `today` | `weather.today_generated_text` | `generated_text_template` | `today` | `today.md` | Today Report |
-| Tomorrow Report | `tomorrow` | `weather.tomorrow_generated_text` | `generated_text_template` | `tomorrow` | `tomorrow.md` | Tomorrow Report |
-| Hourly Report | `hourly` | `weather.hourly_generated_text` | `generated_text_template` | `hourly` | `hourly.md` | Hourly Report |
-| 3-Day Outlook | `three_day` | `weather.three_day_outlook` | `scriptorium_markdown` | `three-day` | `three-day.md` | 3-Day Outlook |
-| Weekend Outlook | `weekend` | `weather.weekend_outlook` | `scriptorium_markdown` | `weekend` | `weekend.md` | Weekend Outlook |
-| Storm Report | `storm` | `weather.storm_report` | `scriptorium_markdown` | `storm` | `storm.md` | Storm Report |
-
-All report definitions are eligible for generation.
-
-## Valid Periods
-
-- Daily Report covers the selected local civil day and requires an explicit
-  date.
-- Today Report covers the selected local civil day, or the current local civil
-  day when no date override is supplied.
-- Tomorrow Report covers the next local civil day from generation time.
-- Hourly Report covers the half-open six-hour period from generation time in
-  the effective report timezone. The duration is an internal report constant,
-  not a configuration field.
-- 3-Day Outlook covers the interval from generation time through local midnight
-  three days later.
-- Weekend Outlook covers the upcoming weekend window.
-- Storm Report covers an explicit event window supplied by the caller.
-
-Storm event windows can be parsed from local `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM` timestamps in
-the configured timezone or RFC3339 timestamps with explicit offsets. End time
-must be after start time.
-
-## Boundaries
-
-`internal/report` defines report metadata, public report names, batch command
-names, output naming, and time coverage. It does not collect weather data, plan
-batch membership, build module values, compare snapshot contents, write state,
-parse CLI flags, or invoke Scriptorium.
-
-The CLI parses flags and command structure, then uses report-owned helpers for
-report and batch command names. Config loading uses report-owned helpers for
-report override keys.
-
-## Config Fields Used
-
-The app supplies `weather_api.timezone` as a loaded `time.Location`. Batch
-output path copying uses batch output names from report definitions. Report
-module overrides can use short keys such as `daily`, `today`, `tomorrow`, and
-`hourly`, or descriptive names such as `three_day_outlook`.
-
-## Batch Commands
-
-`internal/report` owns the public batch command names `morning` and `evening`
-and validates them through `BatchForCommandName`. Data-dependent batch
-membership is owned by `internal/app`, because it depends on collected hourly
-forecast coverage.
-
-Report definitions still declare default batch output copy filenames. App
-batch planning uses those filenames for fixed report entries and supplies
-date-qualified names for dynamic Daily entries.
-
-## State And App Usage
-
-- State paths use `ArtifactGroup`.
-- Batch output copies use `BatchOutputName`.
-- Generation checks `Generated`.
-- Module composition defaults use `Modules`.
-- Prior lookup checks `CompatiblePriorIDs` and the comparison strategy.
-- RunIDs include the resolved report ID.
-
-## Failure Behavior
-
-- Unknown report IDs and batch names return actionable errors.
-- Weekend Outlook resolution returns an error when resolved directly on Sunday.
-- Storm Report resolution requires start and end, with end after start.
-
-## Tests
-
-Inspect:
-
-- `internal/report/period_test.go`
-- `internal/app/app_test.go`
-- `internal/cli/root_test.go`
-
-## Invariants
-
-- Report selection goes through the registry.
-- Public command names, config-key aliases, and batch command names are owned
-  by `internal/report`.
-- Direct Markdown reports have empty template and generated-text schema IDs.
-- Generated-text-template reports declare prompt, template, and schema IDs in
-  their report definition.
-- Valid periods are half-open intervals independent of rendered report text.
-- Artifact grouping, batch output filenames, generated-report eligibility,
-  default module composition, comparison compatibility, and comparison strategy
-  are declared by report definition.
-- App-owned batch planning uses report definitions but does not live in the
-  report registry.

 # Report Template Internals
 
-This document describes embedded Markdown templates and GeneratedText schemas
-in `internal/reporttemplate`.
+`internal/reporttemplate` embeds and renders the repository's native Markdown
+templates. The current template IDs are `daily`, `today`, `tomorrow`, and
+`hourly`. The template files, partials, and complete render-context field
+reference are maintained in
+[report templates](../templates.md).
 
-## Purpose
+## Assets and lookup
 
-`internal/reporttemplate` owns repository-native report templates and companion
-GeneratedText JSON schemas. The implemented template assets are Daily, Today,
-Tomorrow, and Hourly.
+The package embeds top-level templates and shared partials. `Template` returns
+the requested embedded template and fails with the requested ID when it is
+unknown or unreadable.
 
-The package embeds assets from:
+Generated-text schemas and Promptkit definitions are owned by
+`internal/promptassets`; report-template owns Markdown source only. Report
+definitions select IDs, while [generated-text internals](generatedtext.md)
+verifies the supported schema/template pairing.
 
-- `internal/reporttemplate/templates/*.md.tmpl`
-- `internal/reporttemplate/templates/partials/*.md.tmpl`
-- `internal/reporttemplate/schemas/*.schema.json`
+## Rendering
 
-Generated-text prompt source files live under
-`internal/reporttemplate/prompts/`. They are repository assets for prompt
-registration, not embedded lookup APIs.
+`Render` loads the top-level template, creates a `text/template` with helper
+functions and `missingkey=error`, parses the template, parses every shared
+partial, and executes the result against the typed render context. This makes
+missing context fields, bad template syntax, unreadable partials, and execution
+failures actionable with template or partial context.
 
-## Inputs And Outputs
+Top-level templates decide which shared partials they invoke. The current
+partials cover daypart forecast variants, alert digest, and precipitation
+timing. Template code receives curated typed contexts rather than raw data
+packages or complete fact bundles, and it must not reimplement weather
+selection or generated-text validation. Context construction rejects
+report-identity disagreements before template execution. Every generated-prose
+insertion uses the `plainText` helper. It retains ordinary prose and paragraph
+breaks but renders Markdown/HTML syntax, code indentation, and control
+characters as safe text, so the repository templates remain the sole owners of
+report structure.
 
-Inputs:
+## Boundaries and verification
 
-- template ID from a report definition
-- typed render context built by `internal/generatedtext`
+This package does not collect weather data, build modules, validate generated
+text, construct contexts, resolve report definitions, write state, execute
+Promptkit, or upload reports. It produces Markdown bytes for application
+orchestration to persist.
 
-Outputs:
+Focused tests cover template lookup, rendering, partial behavior, daypart
+fallbacks, missing keys, and malformed context:
 
-- template source for inspection and tests
-- GeneratedText schema bytes for prompt/schema configuration
-- rendered Markdown bytes for app orchestration to persist
+```sh
+go test ./internal/reporttemplate
+```
 
-The implemented template IDs are `daily`, `today`, `tomorrow`, and `hourly`.
-The implemented schema IDs are also `daily`, `today`, `tomorrow`, and
-`hourly`, backed by matching `*.generated_text.schema.json` files.
-
-Generated-text prompt sources are maintained under
-`internal/reporttemplate/prompts/`, including Daily's
-`daily.generated_text.md` source for prompt ID `weather.daily_generated_text`.
-
-## Boundaries
-
-This package owns embedded asset lookup, Go template parsing, and Markdown
-template execution. It does not collect weather data, build module outputs,
-validate GeneratedText, construct render contexts, choose report definitions,
-write artifacts, invoke Scriptorium, or notify distributor.
-
-GeneratedText validation is owned by `internal/generatedtext`. App
-orchestration uses `internal/generatedtext` catalog lookup to connect
-`internal/report` definition schema/template IDs to the matching validator,
-render-context builder, and embedded assets.
-
-## Template Contracts
-
-Daily, Today, Tomorrow, and Hourly rendering use typed render contexts with:
-
-- report metadata labels such as title, location, valid period, and generation
-  time
-- validated GeneratedText prose slots
-- deterministic labels derived from module outputs, including current
-  conditions, hourly forecast rows, precipitation timing, alerts, SPC outlooks,
-  forecast discussion, SPC discussion, and weather story
-
-Daily, Today, and Tomorrow additionally expose forecast-date labels, ordered
-daypart forecast rows, daily/daypart summaries, planning facts, and a
-multi-paragraph forecast discussion generated-text slot. The ordered daypart
-slice is built in Go so templates do not range over maps.
-
-The Daily template asset uses the same Markdown structure as Tomorrow's
-template and renders from `generatedtext.DailyRenderContext`.
-
-Templates use `text/template` with `missingkey=error`, so missing context fields
-fail rendering instead of producing incomplete Markdown.
-
-Daily and Tomorrow call the shared `daypart_forecast` partial. Today calls
-`today_daypart_forecast` so it can omit elapsed or missing dayparts. Daily,
-Today, Tomorrow, and Hourly call the shared `alert_digest` and
-`precipitation_timing` partials. Partial files are parsed with each top-level
-template at render time and receive the same typed render context as the
-caller. The `alert_digest` partial renders the combined Alerts and Risk
-Products section from relevant NWS alerts and curated SPC outlook digest
-records.
-
-## Schema Contract
-
-The GeneratedText schemas describe the structured prose Scriptorium is expected
-to write for each generated-text prompt. Hourly requires:
-
-- `summary`
-- `forecast_discussion`
-
-Daily, Today, and Tomorrow require `summary` and a nonempty
-`forecast_discussion` array. All generated-text schemas allow optional
-`precipitation_timing` and `confidence`, and reject additional properties.
-Weather truth remains in module outputs; GeneratedText is limited to prose
-slots consumed by the template.
-
-## Failure Behavior
-
-- Unknown template IDs return actionable lookup errors.
-- Unknown schema IDs return actionable lookup errors.
-- Template parse errors include the template ID.
-- Partial read or parse errors include the partial path.
-- Template execution errors include the template ID and usually identify the
-  missing context field.
-
-## Tests

-- `internal/generatedtext/render_context_test.go`
-- `internal/app/app_test.go`

-## Invariants
-
-- Embedded templates and schemas live as separate files, not inline Go strings.
-- Shared Markdown partials live under `templates/partials/`.
-- Report definitions select templates by ID.
-- Templates render from curated render contexts, not raw data packages.
-- GeneratedText schemas describe LLM prose slots, not deterministic weather
-  facts.
+Embedded templates stay as separate files and shared fragments stay under the

-# Scriptorium Adapter Internals
-
-This document describes the subprocess adapter in
-`internal/adapters/scriptorium`.
-
-## Purpose
-
-The adapter runs `scriptorium render` for prompt preflight and `scriptorium run`
-for Markdown report generation or structured generated-text output. It isolates
-subprocess execution, argv construction, timeout handling, output capture, and
-exit-code interpretation from app and domain packages.
-
-## Inputs And Outputs
-
-Inputs:
-
-- prompt ID
-- YAML prompt input data package path
-- report output path for `run`
-- raw generated-text output path for structured `run`
-- configured binary, config path, profile, timeout, and extra arguments
-- context for cancellation
-
-Outputs:
-
-- argv used for execution
-- captured stdout and stderr
-- truncation flags for captured output
-- exit code
-- report output path for `run`
-- raw generated-text output path for structured `run`
-
-## Boundaries
-
-`internal/adapters/scriptorium` owns Scriptorium command construction and
-subprocess execution. It does not choose report types, build prompt input,
-collect weather data, decide workflow order, or persist workflow metadata.
-
-The adapter exposes request and result structs for render, Markdown run, and
-structured generated-text run operations. State persistence uses state-owned
-artifact shapes; app orchestration converts adapter results before saving.
-
-## Config Fields Used
-
-- `scriptorium.binary`
-- `scriptorium.config_path`
-- `scriptorium.profile`
-- `scriptorium.timeout`
-- `scriptorium.extra_args`
-
-## Commands
-
-Render preflight argv starts with:
-
-```text
-scriptorium render --prompt <prompt_id> --input data_package=<path> --format json
-```
-
-Report generation argv starts with:
-
-```text
-scriptorium run --prompt <prompt_id> --input data_package=<path> --out <path>
-```
-
-Structured generated-text argv uses the same `scriptorium run` form, with the
-`--out` value set to the raw generated-text JSON artifact path. The adapter
-does not add `--format`, schema path, or JSON Schema flags for structured
-generation; Scriptorium selects the structured output schema from prompt
-configuration.
-
-Configured `--config` and `--profile` flags are inserted after the subcommand
-and before prompt-specific arguments. Extra arguments are appended after the
-built-in arguments.
-
-## Execution Behavior
-
-The adapter runs commands without shell interpolation. The same private
-execution path is used by render, Markdown run, and structured run after
-command-specific request validation and argv construction.
-
-When `scriptorium.timeout` is greater than zero, each subprocess call uses a
-context with that timeout. Stdout and stderr are captured separately, capped at
-1 MiB each, and marked as truncated when the cap is reached.
-
-## Failure Behavior
-
-- Missing prompt ID or data package path returns an error before subprocess
-  execution.
-- Missing run output path returns an error before subprocess execution.
-- Subprocess start errors, context cancellation, and timeouts are wrapped with
-  operation context by the caller-facing method.
-- Nonzero render, Markdown run, and structured run exits return the captured
-  result plus an error containing the exit code and stderr.
-
-## Tests
-
-Inspect:
-
-- `internal/adapters/scriptorium/runner_test.go`
-- `internal/app/app_test.go`
-- `internal/cli/root_test.go`
-
-## Invariants
-
-- No shell interpolation is used.
-- The Scriptorium input name is `data_package`.
-- The file at the data package path is YAML produced by `internal/promptinput`.
-- Render, Markdown run, and structured run preserve command-specific result
-  structs.
-- Scriptorium-specific flags stay inside adapter and config boundaries.

-# State Internals
-
-This document describes filesystem state in `internal/state`.
-
-## Purpose
-
-`internal/state` owns managed workspace paths, atomic JSON writes, persisted
-metadata, prior snapshot lookup, and read-only artifact inspection helpers.
-
-## Inputs And Outputs
-
-Inputs:
-
-- workspace configuration
-- resolved report definition and valid period
-- module snapshot
-- prompt input data package
-- preflight artifact
-- generated-text raw, run-result, validated text, and render-context artifacts
-- rendered report path preparation request
-- RunID for inspection lookups
-
-Outputs:

-- render context JSON path
-- managed Markdown report path
-- metadata JSON path
-- distributor notification debug artifact paths
-- prior comparable snapshot metadata
-- loaded module snapshot, data package, generated text, generated-text run
-  result, or render context
-- recent report records for inspection
-
-## Boundaries
-
-`internal/state` owns local filesystem layout, path validation, durable writes,
-metadata reads, prior lookup, and report listing. It does not fetch weather
-data, derive forecasts, build prompt input content, compare module contents,
-invoke Scriptorium, import adapter result types, or parse CLI flags.
-
-Preflight persistence uses the state-owned `PreflightArtifact` shape. The app
-converts adapter render results into that shape before saving.
-
-## Config Fields Used
-
-- `workspace.root`
-- `workspace.snapshots_dir`
-- `workspace.reports_dir`
-- `workspace.data_packages_dir`
-- `workspace.preflight_dir`
-- `workspace.notifications_dir`
-
-Workspace subdirectories must be relative paths that stay under
-`workspace.root`.
-
-## Managed Layout
-
-Paths are derived from the resolved report definition's artifact group, the
-valid-period start date for dated artifacts, and the RunID.
-
-```text
-<workspace.root>/
-  snapshots/<artifact_group>/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<run_id>.modules.json
-  snapshots/<artifact_group>/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<run_id>.metadata.json
-  snapshots/<artifact_group>/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<run_id>.generated_text.raw.json
-  snapshots/<artifact_group>/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<run_id>.generated_text.run.json
-  snapshots/<artifact_group>/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<run_id>.generated_text.json
-  snapshots/<artifact_group>/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<run_id>.render_context.json
-  data-packages/<artifact_group>/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<run_id>.data_package.yaml
-  preflight/<artifact_group>/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<run_id>.render.json
-  notifications/<artifact_group>/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<run_id>.distributor.json
-  notifications/batches/<batch>/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<batch_run_id>.distributor.json
-  reports/<artifact_group>/<run_id>.md
-```
-
-Metadata is stored beside module snapshots and links the module snapshot, data
-package, preflight, report paths, notification path when attempted, and
-configured prompt location. For generated-text-template reports, metadata also
-records the generated text schema ID and links the raw generated text,
-Scriptorium run result, validated generated text, and render context artifacts.
-Markdown-report metadata omits those generated-text fields. Report listing
-walks metadata files under the snapshots directory.
-
-Batch notification artifacts are stored under the notifications tree rather
-than report metadata because they describe a batch-level upload. The date
-directory is the batch start date in the effective report timezone.
-
-## Prior Lookup
-
-Prior snapshot lookup reads stored metadata through the shared lookup path and
-selects the latest earlier snapshot whose report ID is compatible with the
-current report definition.
-
-- Daily Report compares with prior Daily Report snapshots for the same valid
-  local date.
-- Today Report compares with prior Today Report snapshots for the same valid
-  local date.
-- Tomorrow Report compares with prior Tomorrow Report snapshots for the same
-  valid local date.
-- 3-Day Outlook compares with prior 3-Day snapshots for the same valid local
-  date.
-- Weekend Outlook compares with prior Weekend snapshots for the same weekend

-- Hourly Report uses the rolling-window comparison strategy and currently
-  returns no prior snapshot from filesystem lookup.
-- Storm Report has no prior lookup because explicit event-window comparison is
-  not searched by the filesystem store.
-
-## Writes And Inspection
-
-Durable JSON writes use shared atomic file helpers. Generated-text raw and
-validated JSON artifacts are written atomically as bytes; generated-text run
-result and render context artifacts are written atomically as JSON. Managed
-Markdown reports are prepared by creating their parent directory; Scriptorium
-writes the report body to the prepared path. Extra Markdown copies are handled
-by app orchestration. Distributor notification debug artifacts are written
-atomically when notification is attempted and include rendered distributor
-pipeline ID, bundle ID, idempotency key, bundle paths, upload status, latest
-run status, and redacted errors.
-
-Single-report notification artifacts use schema version
-`weatherreporter.distributor_notification.v1` and record one managed source
-path plus that source's bundle paths. Batch notification artifacts use schema
-version `weatherreporter.batch_distributor_notification.v1` and record:
-
-- `batch`
-- `batchRunId`
-- `attemptedAt`
-- `endpoint`
-- `pipelineId`
-- `bundleId`
-- `idempotencyKey`
-- `bundleCreated`
-- `includedReports`, each with `reportId`, `runId`, `sourcePath`, and
-  `bundlePaths`
-- `status`
-- `upload`
-- `runStatus`
-- `statusError`
-- `error`
-
-Inspection helpers read existing metadata, module snapshot, data package,
-generated text, generated-text run result, and render context files. Missing
-metadata directories return no inspection records or no prior snapshot rather
-than creating state.
-
-## Failure Behavior
-
-- Invalid workspace paths return validation errors.
-- Missing required metadata fields prevent metadata writes.
-- JSON writes use a temporary file followed by rename where practical.
-- Read and decode failures include path context.
-- Unknown RunIDs produce an actionable lookup error.
-
-## Tests
-
-Inspect:
-
-- `internal/state/filesystem_test.go`
-- `internal/app/app_test.go`
-
-## Invariants
-
-- Managed paths stay under the configured workspace root.
-- Artifact grouping comes from report definitions.
-- Metadata links artifacts produced for a run.
-- Generated-text artifacts live under the snapshots tree beside module
-  snapshots and metadata.
-- Batch notification artifacts live under `notifications/batches` and are not
-  linked from report metadata.
-- Prior lookup is based on structured metadata, not rendered report text.

 # Weather Data Internals
 
-This document describes Weather API ingestion into `weatherdata.Bundle`.
+`internal/weatherdata` owns the normalized, wire-independent weather bundle
+that passes from collection through rendering. The Weather API
+adapter translates provider responses into these types; its request, response,
+and availability contract is documented in the
+[Weather API integration guide](../integrations/weatherapi.md).
 
-## Purpose
+## Bundle contract
 
-`internal/adapters/weatherapi` fetches normalized weather data from the
-configured Weather API and assembles the bundle consumed by forecast derivation
-and module builders. Module builders expose normalized current conditions and
-weather story context when those sources are available.
+`Bundle` has a collection timestamp (`FetchedAt`), source provenance
+(`Sources`), and collection-level warnings (`Warnings`). Its product fields are
+optional so an allowed missing source can be represented without manufacturing
+weather data.
 
-## Inputs And Outputs
+| Field | Normalized product |
+| --- | --- |
+| `Observation` | Station observation |
+| `Current` | Current conditions |
+| `Hourly` | Hourly forecast periods |
+| `Narrative` | Narrative forecast |
+| `Alerts` | Active-alert check, including an explicitly empty result |
+| `Discussion` | Forecast discussion and its time-range sections |
+| `Daily` | Daily forecast periods when supplied |
+| `WeatherStory` | Latest weather story |
+| `SPCConvectiveOutlooks` | Convective outlook run, discussions, and GeoJSON geometry |
 
-Inputs:
+The bundle carries values rather than provider request details. Consumers use
+it to construct report facts and data packages; they should not infer a
+provider endpoint or retry policy from the normalized types. See
+[collection](collect.md) for assembly and
+[report templates](../templates.md) for the values exposed to authors.
 
-- `config.Config` with Weather API URL, timeout, format, units, timezone,
-  precision, and missing-source policy
-- HTTP responses using the Weather API `data` envelope
+An alert run retains its check time and individual alert payloads for overlap
+selection. Its source entry retains provider provenance; the full provider
+envelope is not carried into the normalized bundle.
 
-Outputs:
+## Source provenance
 
-- `weatherdata.Bundle` with observation, current conditions, hourly forecast,
-  narrative forecast, active alerts, discussion, latest weather story, source
-  records, source warnings, and typed SPC convective outlook data when that
-  optional source is available
-- optional saved bundle JSON through app fetch helpers
+Every checked source is represented by a `Source` entry. The record identifies
+the source (`Name`), request location and query (`Endpoint`, `Query`), fetch
+time, provider issue and update times when available, a SHA-256 digest of the
+source data, and whether the source was unavailable (`Missing`). Its warnings
+stay with that source in addition to the bundle-level warning list.
 
-## Boundaries
+An empty product can be meaningful checked data. For example, an explicit
+empty alerts result is not missing and retains its source hash. A source is
+marked missing only when the adapter's missing-source policy treats the
+response or parsing failure as unavailable. The policy itself belongs to the
+[configuration reference](../config.md).
 
-- The adapter owns HTTP calls, response-envelope handling, source hashing, and
-  decoding into internal bundle types.
-- It does not derive dayparts, resolve report periods, build module values, compare
-  snapshots, write report state, or invoke Scriptorium.
+Accepted hourly forecast periods always have nonzero start and end times, with
+the end after the start. Collection rejects a required hourly product that does
+not meet those bounds before it enters downstream derivation.
 
-## Config Fields Used
+## Warning semantics
 
-- `weather_api.base_url`
-- `weather_api.timeout`
-- `weather_api.format`
-- `weather_api.units`
-- `weather_api.timezone`
-- `weather_api.precision`
-- `missing_source.default`
-- `missing_source.sources`
+`SourceWarning` has a source name, stable code, severity, explanatory message,
+endpoint, and `CompletenessImpact`. When collection proceeds with a warning,
+the same warning appears in `Source.Warnings` and `Bundle.Warnings` so both
+local provenance and whole-run consumers see it. A policy that treats a missing
+source as an error returns no partial bundle.
 
-## External Adapters Used
+Warnings describe data completeness, not rendering or delivery failures.
+Those failures are reported by [application orchestration](app-orchestration.md).
 
-- Weather API HTTP service
+## Boundaries and verification
 
-See [Weather API integration](../integrations/weatherapi.md) for the external
-contract used by this project.
+This package defines data shapes and has no HTTP client, configuration loader,
+filesystem access, or template behavior. Focused tests cover the normalized
+types and the Weather API adapter verifies translation into them:
 
-## State Or Manifest Behavior
-
-The adapter records source name, endpoint, query, fetch time, source timestamps
-when available, SHA-256 hash over compact raw `data` JSON, missing status, and
-source warnings. Successful `data: null` responses from `/alerts/active`
-represent a checked empty active-alert list, not a missing source. Successful
-non-null `/outlooks/convective` responses with empty outlook and discussion
-arrays represent checked empty outlook data.
-`app.FetchAndSaveBundle` can write bundle JSON atomically for inspection.
-
-SPC convective outlook data is stored on
-`weatherdata.Bundle.SPCConvectiveOutlooks`. The collected run keeps upstream
-run metadata, location identifiers, ordered outlook records, discussion
-records, and each outlook's raw GeoJSON geometry. Source provenance for this
-payload uses the `spc_convective_outlooks` source name, endpoint
-`/outlooks/convective`, the query sent by the adapter, timestamps, and a hash
-of the raw `data` object.
-
-## Skip And Resume Behavior
-
-No resume behavior. Optional missing or malformed sources may be omitted,
-warned, or treated as errors according to missing-source policy. Hourly forecast
-data is required and cannot be skipped.
-
-## Failure Behavior
-
-- Missing or invalid `weather_api.base_url` prevents client construction.
-- HTTP errors, response read failures, and envelope decode failures include
-  endpoint context.
-- Missing hourly data or hourly forecasts with no periods fail bundle fetch.
-- Optional sources follow missing-source policy.
-- Explicit `data: null` from `/alerts/active` produces an empty, non-missing
-  alert run.
-- Explicit `data: null` from `/outlooks/convective` follows optional
-  missing-source policy.
-
-## Tests
-
-Inspect:
-
-- `internal/adapters/weatherapi/client_test.go`
-- `internal/app/app_test.go`
-
-## Invariants
-
-- Weather facts come from normalized source data.
-- Full hourly and narrative products are fetched; Go owns report-period
-  selection.
-- Source provenance and warnings remain inspectable downstream.

 # Weatherreporter Operations
 
-This guide covers normal operation, generated artifacts, inspection, recovery,
-and operational caveats. For symptom-specific diagnosis, see
-[Troubleshooting](troubleshooting.md).
+This guide covers normal output handling, Distributor notification, secure
+prompt diagnostics, and cleanup of legacy application state. See the [CLI
+reference](cli.md) for command syntax and the [configuration reference](config.md)
+for fields, defaults, and notification templates.
 
-## Normal Workflow
+## Normal Operation
 
-Generation commands:
+After configuring a Weather API endpoint, generate one report:
 
-```text
-weatherreporter generate daily --date 2026-05-29
+```sh
 weatherreporter generate today
-weatherreporter generate tomorrow
-weatherreporter generate hourly
-weatherreporter generate three-day
-weatherreporter generate weekend
-weatherreporter generate storm --start 2026-05-29T18:00 --end 2026-05-30T06:00
 ```
 
-Generation commands resolve a report period, collect a Weather API bundle,
-build a rich JSON module snapshot, build a curated YAML prompt input data
-package, run `scriptorium render`, and write managed artifacts under the
-configured workspace. Markdown-path reports then run `scriptorium run` directly
-to the managed Markdown report path.
+With no configured output directory, the command writes `today.md` in the
+current directory. Set `output.directory` to use one ordinary publication
+directory for reports, or choose a one-command operator-owned file with
+`--out`; a relative path is resolved from the current directory and an absolute
+path is used directly. The explicit flag takes precedence over the configured
+directory. Weatherreporter renders in memory and atomically replaces the
+selected destination only after generation and rendering succeed. It does not
+create a default workspace, metadata, receipts, or intermediate output files.
 
-`generate daily`, `generate today`, `generate tomorrow`, and `generate hourly`
-use the generated-text-template workflow. They run structured `scriptorium run`
-to raw GeneratedText JSON, validate the structured text, save a render context,
-and render the managed Markdown report from embedded templates. `generate
-daily` requires `--date YYYY-MM-DD` for the selected local civil day.
-`generate today` covers the selected or current local civil day. `generate
-hourly` covers the six-hour rolling period from generation time in the
-effective report timezone and is not included in `run morning` or
-`run evening`.
+A missing configured directory is created only as part of successful report
+publication. If its existing path is not a directory or cannot be inspected,
+the command stops before prompt inspection or weather collection, leaving any
+existing report unchanged. See the [configuration reference](config.md) for the
+field definition and validation rules.
 
-When distributor notification is enabled, weatherreporter uploads the managed
-Markdown report after report rendering succeeds and final metadata is saved.
-`--out PATH` writes an extra Markdown copy for generated reports; it is not used
-as the distributor upload source.
+Before a destination is published, provider, validation, rendering, write, and
+cancellation failures leave an existing report unchanged. A notification
+failure happens after publication, so retain and use the completed Markdown
+file while resolving the delivery error. The JSON result identifies the
+absolute output path and active profile, backend, model, warnings, validation,
+debug, and notification information; see the [CLI reference](cli.md) for its
+exact fields.
 
-Batch commands:
+Weatherreporter validates the final output filename before prompt inspection or
+weather collection. A valid long filename is published through a short,
+same-directory temporary sibling, so temporary naming does not shorten the
+operator-selected destination. A rejected filename does not create a missing
+parent directory. The final destination itself must be absent or a regular
+file: symlinks, directories, named pipes, sockets, and other special objects
+are rejected before prompt inspection or weather collection. The destination is
+checked again immediately before the atomic replacement; cancellation or a
+deadline at that point leaves the prior report unchanged and skips notification.
 
-```text
-weatherreporter run morning
-weatherreporter run evening
+`SIGINT` and `SIGTERM` request orderly cancellation of an active action. The
+command lets cancellation and related cleanup finish before it exits; use the
+usual failed result or error to determine whether an output was published.
+
+## Batch Outputs And Distributor Notification
+
+Run a scheduled batch with an explicit output directory when appropriate:
+
+```sh
+weatherreporter run morning --out-dir ./reports
 ```
 
-`run morning` generates Today Report, Tomorrow Report, and a dated Daily Report
-for each later future local civil day with complete hourly forecast coverage.
-`run evening` generates Tomorrow Report and the same eligible future Daily
-reports. Future Daily expansion starts with the day after tomorrow. A Daily
-report is eligible only when the collected hourly forecast contains every
-hourly period for that local civil day; partial days are skipped. Batch commands
-collect weather data once before planning, and a collection failure stops the
-batch before any report is generated.
+Without `--out-dir`, batch reports are written beneath `output.directory` when
+configured, otherwise the current directory. The explicit directory applies
+only to that command and takes precedence over the configured fallback.
+Morning runs Today, Tomorrow, and every eligible dated Daily Report; evening
+runs Tomorrow and the same eligible Daily Reports. Eligible Daily dates begin
+after tomorrow and require complete hourly coverage for their local civil day.
+A batch collects once, determines the complete report set, and validates every
+final output destination before executing its first report prompt. A destination
+collision, such as a directory named `tomorrow.md`, stops the batch before any
+report output is created or replaced. After successful validation, each selected
+report processes independently and successful outputs remain available if
+another report fails. If cancellation or a deadline is observed during the
+sequence, Weatherreporter stops before starting another report. It retains
+already published files, marks interrupted and unstarted reports as canceled in
+the result, and skips batch notification.
 
-After planning succeeds, batch commands print a JSON summary to stdout, write
-compact per-report status lines to stderr, continue independent reports after
-one report fails, and return nonzero when any report failed. Batch commands do
-not upload each report independently. When distributor notification and batch
-notification are enabled, weatherreporter uploads one distributor bundle only
-after every planned report succeeds. If any report fails, the batch upload is
-skipped for the whole batch. `--out-dir PATH` writes extra Markdown copies
-using report default filenames such as `today.md` and `tomorrow.md`; dynamic
-Daily copies use `daily-YYYY-MM-DD.md`. These copies are not used as
-distributor upload sources.
+When `notify.distributor.enabled` and batch notification are enabled,
+Weatherreporter sends one Distributor upload only after every selected output
+exists. If an item fails, the batch notification is skipped and successful
+files remain at their selected destinations. A batch notification failure also
+leaves all successfully published report files in place. Distributor source
+files are those operator-owned Markdown outputs; rendered bundle paths and
+delivery status appear in the result, not in a local notification receipt.
+Remote Distributor response text is not included in command output. Instead,
+notification failures use stable local diagnostics while retaining the upload
+and status identities needed to investigate delivery with Distributor.
+Report counters count report items only. A batch notification failure therefore
+returns a failed batch status even when all report counters show success; the
+top-level notification result contains the delivery diagnostic.
 
-## Filesystem Layout
+For a single report, Distributor notification follows the atomic output write.
+Enabled notification configuration, including the HTTP(S) endpoint and
+templates, is validated before report processing. A malformed endpoint does not
+collect weather data, generate a report, publish output, or invoke Distributor.
+See the [configuration reference](config.md) for endpoint, pipeline, bundle,
+idempotency-key, and per-report path templates.
 
-The default workspace root is `workspace`.

+Use `compare` when an operator needs to evaluate explicit Promptkit profiles
+against the same report input. The command writes one flat, operator-owned
+bundle directory and never sends a Distributor notification. Command syntax,
+profile validation, JSON output, and exit behavior belong to the
+[CLI reference](cli.md); the durable file contract belongs to the
+[comparison bundle contract](integrations/comparison-bundle.md).
+
+The output destination follows the normal `output.directory` fallback. An
+explicit `--out-dir` takes precedence and names the exact bundle directory,
+not a parent to be combined with another name. The standard names are derived
+from the report output name, such as `comparison-today` and
+`comparison-daily-2026-05-29`; see the [configuration reference](config.md)
+for output-directory resolution.
+
+A comparison bundle contains the shared data package, a manifest, and one
+Markdown file for every successful profile. Treat all of these files as
+potentially sensitive: the data package and generated reports can contain
+location or forecast context. Weatherreporter creates no application-owned
+history, retention store, or cleanup job. Retain, archive, or remove only the
+specific bundle directories your operating policy permits.
+
+The destination is preflighted before prompt inspection and collection, then
+rechecked immediately before an atomic publish. A missing or empty directory
+is usable. A nonempty directory can be replaced only when `--replace` is given
+and it is recognized as a current Weatherreporter comparison bundle; ordinary
+directories, symlinks, and unsafe destinations are rejected. Existing v1
+bundles are not recognized for replacement: move or remove them first.
+Cancellation and
+all failures before publication preserve an existing bundle, including a
+cancellation observed while a replacement is being prepared. If guarded
+restoration cannot complete, the error names the retained sibling bundle for
+manual recovery. Profile failures are different: the command publishes a
+complete partial bundle, with failed profiles represented in the manifest and
+no Markdown file for those profiles.
+Comparison preflight also checks that private publication siblings can be
+formed. An infeasible destination name is rejected before a missing parent
+directory is created.
+
+## Local Prompt Profile Override
+
+Hourly normally selects the embedded `weather-light` profile. To use a local
+OpenAI-compatible model without changing prompts or application code, copy
+[weather-light-local-profile.yml](../examples/weather-light-local-profile.yml),
+set its `endpoint` and `model` for the local server, and configure the copy as
+`promptkit.profile_file`. The profile file's `weather-light` definition
+completely replaces the embedded definition; it does not affect a report that
+selects another profile ID.
+
+Prompt and profile validation occurs before weather collection. A malformed
+profile file, missing required credential, or unsupported selected backend
+stops the command before collection. A reachable profile can still fail later
+if its local model endpoint is unavailable; Weatherreporter does not switch to
+a remote profile.
+
+## Optional Prompt Debug Capture
+
+Use `--llm-debug-dir` only when content-rich prompt diagnostics are required:
+
+```sh
+weatherreporter generate today --llm-debug-dir /var/tmp/weatherreporter-debug
 ```
 
-Managed artifact filenames use the RunID, so repeated runs for the same valid
-period do not overwrite each other.
+The directory must be absolute. Requested captures are written with restrictive
+permissions beneath the supplied directory, organized by report and run. They
+can contain rendered prompts and generated output, so limit access to trusted
+operators and remove the captures when they are no longer needed. Comparison
+captures additionally identify each selected profile so concurrent executions
+remain distinct. Normal output, summaries, and routine logs omit that sensitive
+content. Debug capture is never created for an ordinary command without
+`--llm-debug-dir`.
 
-## RunID And Metadata
+Secure prompt debug capture is currently available only on Unix hosts, where
+Weatherreporter can keep every traversal and write anchored to opened directory
+descriptors without following symbolic links. On other platforms, requesting
+`--llm-debug-dir` fails before prompt inspection, weather collection, or
+provider execution; ordinary commands without the flag remain available.
 
-RunIDs are based on generation time plus report ID. Reports that can be
-generated more than once in a single command may append a report-specific
-disambiguator. Daily appends the local valid date so multiple dynamic Daily
-reports in one batch have distinct managed artifacts:
+Preparation captures retain only the provider endpoint origin and reviewed
+execution settings. URL user information, paths, queries, fragments, and
+unrecognized provider parameters are omitted.
 
-```text
-20260529T100000.123456789Z_daily_2026-05-31
-20260529T100000.123456789Z_today
+Each run directory may contain `preparation.json` (v3), `execution.json` (v3),
+and, for a provider generation failure, `failure.json` (v1). The failure
+artifact retains the safe category, HTTP status, and provider code, type, and
+message for trusted debugging only. Ordinary command output never includes
+those provider details.
+
+Capture writes are confined to the requested root and fail if an unsafe
+filesystem component prevents secure artifact creation.
+
+If capture creation or writing fails, the affected run fails rather than
+silently continuing without the requested diagnostics.
+
+## Diagnosing Failures
+
+Start with the command error and JSON summary. For a report generation failure,
+the selected destination was not replaced; for a notification failure, inspect
+the completed destination and the notification result. For a batch failure,
+use the per-report statuses and retain successful output files. For a comparison
+failure, inspect the published manifest when its path is present: individual
+profile failures retain their safe result and successful Markdown files, while
+cancellation and pre-publication errors leave the prior destination unchanged.
+
+If a replacement commits but cleanup of its prior sibling backup fails, the new
+bundle remains valid and its artifact paths appear in the failed command
+summary. The summary records a safe `publication_cleanup` error that indicates
+whether a complete prior bundle remains, only partial remnants remain, or no
+prior bundle remains; it also identifies when the sibling cannot be inspected.
+The returned command error includes a recovery path only when a sibling remains.
+Preserve a complete recognized recovery bundle until it has been inspected and
+cleaned up manually; partial remnants are not a rollback artifact. Do not
+remove the new bundle to retry cleanup.
+
+Enable explicit debug capture only when content-rich Promptkit diagnostics are
+necessary.
+
+Weatherreporter does not retain runs for later inspection, resume failed work,
+or provide automatic cleanup, archival, remote state, daemon operation, or
+automatic storm monitoring.
+
+## Manual Cleanup Of Legacy Workspaces
+
+Older installations may have a directory named `workspace` containing reports,
+snapshots, prompt inputs, or notification records from previous versions.
+Current commands neither read nor update it. After confirming that no separate
+retention requirement applies, remove that specific legacy directory manually;
+do not use a broad cleanup command that could remove current operator outputs.
+
+For example, from the directory that contains the old directory:
+
+```sh
+rm -rf ./workspace
 ```
 
-Batch notification RunIDs use the batch start timestamp plus the batch command
-name:
-
-```text
-20260529T100000.123456789Z_morning
-20260529T220000.123456789Z_evening
-```
-
-Each generated report writes metadata that links:
-
-- RunID, report ID, variant, and prompt ID
-- generation time, timezone, and valid period
-- source location, source hashes, and source warnings
-- module snapshot path
-- prompt input data package path
-- preflight output path
-- managed Markdown report path
-- generated text schema ID and generated-text artifact paths for
-  generated-text-template reports
-- distributor notification debug artifact path, when notification is attempted
-
-Batch summaries include report status, error text when applicable, valid
-period, and known artifact paths for each attempted report. Single-report
-notification fields on report items are empty for batch commands. When a batch
-notification is attempted, skipped, or fails, the summary includes one
-top-level `notification` object with fields such as `status`, `reason`,
-`runId`, `pipelineId`, `bundleId`, `idempotencyKey`, `path`,
-`includedReports`, and `error`.
-
-## Distributor Notification
-
-Distributor notification is configured with `notify.distributor` and is
-disabled by default. For `generate <report>`, weatherreporter uploads the
-managed Markdown report path recorded in the report result and metadata. That
-single source file is mapped to report-specific bundle paths. Extra copies
-written by `--out` or `--out-dir` are operator conveniences only.
-
-For `run morning` and `run evening`, per-report notification is suppressed. If
-`notify.distributor.enabled` and `notify.distributor.batch.enabled` are both
-true, the batch uploads once after all reports finish successfully. The upload
-contains one file mapping set per included report. Each mapping uses the
-managed Markdown report as the source and report-specific path templates for
-that report. All rendered bundle paths across the batch must be unique. If any
-report fails, weatherreporter records a top-level
-notification status of `skipped` with reason `one or more reports failed` and
-does not call distributor. If batch notification is disabled, run commands do
-not fall back to per-report uploads.
-
-The rendered pipeline ID selects the configured distributor `http_upload`
-workflow. The default bundle ID is a stable logical source identity derived from
-producer name, location ID, and report ID:
-
-```text
-weatherreporter.{location_id}.{report_id}
-```
-
-The default single-report idempotency key appends RunID to the rendered bundle
-ID so each report generation has a distinct retry identity. The default bundle
-path uses the valid-period start date, artifact group, and RunID. Batch bundle
-IDs default to `weatherreporter.{location_id}.{batch}`, and batch idempotency
-keys default to `{bundle_id}.{batch_run_id}`. Distributor owns destination
-merge, retention, and derived snapshot behavior such as `latest`. For Daily,
-the default report ID and artifact group values are both `daily`, and the
-default output filename value is `daily.md`. For Today, the default report ID
-and artifact group values are both `today`, and the batch output filename value
-is `today.md`.
-
-Single-report notification happens after final metadata save for generated
-reports. Batch notification happens after all planned reports have finished and
-only when all report generations succeeded. Collection, module snapshot,
-data-package, render preflight, Scriptorium run, generated-text validation,
-template rendering, and metadata-save failures do not trigger notification. A
-single-report notification failure fails that report. A batch notification
-failure makes the batch return nonzero and increments the aggregate failure
-count, but individual report items remain succeeded.
-
-Each notification attempt writes a debug artifact under `notifications/`.
-Single-report artifacts live under
-`notifications/<artifact_group>/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<run_id>.distributor.json`. Batch
-artifacts live under
-`notifications/batches/<batch>/<YYYY-MM-DD>/<batch_run_id>.distributor.json`,
-where the date directory is the batch start date in the effective report
-timezone. The artifact records the rendered pipeline ID, bundle ID,
-idempotency key, managed source paths, bundle-relative paths, bundle created
-timestamp, accepted upload response, and the latest distributor run status
-response when available. Weatherreporter polls status until distributor reports
-`succeeded` or `failed`, or until the configured notification timeout expires.
-The run status includes the distributor status, error text, and raw run report
-JSON, which can show actions such as `replace_older`, `skip_same`,
-`skip_destination_newer`, or `failed`. Token values are not written.
-
-Weatherreporter is responsible for selecting the managed Markdown report,
-constructing a source bundle, and submitting it to the configured distributor
-HTTP endpoint. Distributor remains responsible for destination routing,
-publication, and any downstream Markdown-to-HTML transformation. Distributor
-leaves destination files alone when they are not tracked by a newly uploaded
-bundle, so existing uploaded dated report paths can remain available.
-
-## Inspection
-
-Inspection commands read existing workspace artifacts and emit JSON to stdout.
-They do not collect weather data or run `scriptorium`.
-
-```text
-weatherreporter inspect reports --limit 10
-weatherreporter inspect metadata RUN_ID
-weatherreporter inspect modules RUN_ID
-weatherreporter inspect data-package RUN_ID
-weatherreporter inspect prior RUN_ID
-weatherreporter inspect sources RUN_ID
-```
-
-Use `inspect reports` to find RunIDs and artifact paths. Use
-`inspect metadata` to see the artifact links recorded for a run. Use
-`inspect modules` to review the persisted ordered module snapshot with rich
-template-facing values, and `inspect data-package` to review the curated prompt
-package passed to Scriptorium. Use `inspect prior` to see the prior comparable
-snapshot selected for Recent Changes, or `null` when none exists. Use
-`inspect sources` to review source provenance and warnings without dumping full
-weather payloads.
-
-## Recent Changes
-
-Recent Changes are computed from structured module snapshots, not rendered
-Markdown or YAML text.
-
-Daily Report compares with prior Daily Report snapshots for the same valid
-local date. Today Report compares with prior Today Report snapshots for the
-same valid local date. Tomorrow Report compares with prior Tomorrow Report
-snapshots for the same valid local date. 3-Day Outlook compares with prior
-compatible 3-Day snapshots for the same valid local date. Weekend Outlook
-compares with prior compatible Weekend snapshots for the same weekend window.
-Hourly Report and Storm Report leave Recent Changes empty.
-
-When no prior comparable snapshot exists, or no configured threshold is crossed,
-`recentChanges.items` is empty.
-
-## Recovery
-
-A failed generation run may still leave useful artifacts:
-
-- If `scriptorium render` returns a result with a nonzero exit code, the
-  preflight JSON and metadata are written for inspection.
-- If `scriptorium run` exits nonzero after writing a report, the managed report
-  and metadata remain available.
-- Generated-text failures for Daily, Today, Tomorrow, and Hourly reports preserve
-  available intermediate artifacts, such as the structured run result, raw
-  generated-text JSON, validated generated text, and render context. Metadata
-  links those paths when it can be safely written.
-- If single-report distributor notification fails, report artifacts and final
-  metadata remain available, but the report command returns nonzero.
-- If batch distributor notification fails, report artifacts and final metadata
-  remain available, the top-level batch notification links the debug artifact,
-  and the batch command returns nonzero.
-- For batch commands, inspect the stdout JSON summary first, then inspect the
-  artifact paths for each failed report or the top-level notification path.
-
-For a bad report, start with:
-
-```text
-weatherreporter inspect metadata RUN_ID
-weatherreporter inspect sources RUN_ID
-weatherreporter inspect modules RUN_ID
-weatherreporter inspect data-package RUN_ID
-weatherreporter inspect prior RUN_ID
-```
-
-## Operational Caveats
-
-- The application uses one configured Weather API endpoint.
-- The application writes local filesystem state only.
-- The application does not implement resume, cleanup, archive, remote storage,
-  daemon operation, or automatic storm monitoring.
-- Generated reports and Scriptorium stderr can contain sensitive operational
-  context. Store workspace artifacts with appropriate filesystem permissions.
+This removal cannot be recovered by Weatherreporter. Keep or archive any
+historical files that are still needed before deleting them.

-# Architecture
+# Architecture Policy
 
-This document defines the development principles for this Go project. It is inward-facing: developers and LLM coding agents should use it to preserve the project’s shape, boundaries, and invariants as the code evolves.
+## Purpose
 
-## weatherreporter
-`weatherreporter` is a deterministic weather briefing and report-preparation application. It consumes normalized weather data from the internal weatherfeeder-backed API, derives report-specific module snapshots and prompt packages, compares module snapshots against prior runs, and invokes an external prompt runner to produce human-facing reports.
+This policy defines Weatherreporter's system shape, ownership, dependency direction,
+and safety invariants. The [development guide](../development.md) owns the
+package inventory; focused documents in `docs/internal/` own implementation detail.
 
-The application should keep meteorological data selection, daypart grouping, threshold detection, forecast-period resolution, and recent-change comparison inside Go domain packages. LLM prompts should receive curated module-based prompt packages rather than raw unbounded source payloads wherever practical.
+## System Shape
 
-Report types must be defined through a registry or equivalent mechanism. Each report definition should declare its report ID, prompt ID, valid-period resolver, module composition, comparison strategy, and output naming behavior. Avoid scattering report-type conditionals across CLI and orchestration code.
+Weatherreporter is a deterministic weather-report CLI. It collects normalized
+weather data, derives facts and modules, builds a curated YAML data package,
+executes exact-version Promptkit prompts, validates structured generated prose,
+and renders repository-owned Markdown in memory. Completed Markdown is
+atomically published to an operator-owned output destination and may then be
+uploaded through Distributor.
 
-Generated reports must be associated with explicit metadata, including report type, location, generation time, valid period, source product timestamps or hashes, module snapshot path, and output path. Recent Changes must be based on structured snapshot comparison rather than comparison of rendered Markdown report text.
+An explicit profile comparison prepares one report input once, executes the
+same exact prompt and data package across selected profiles concurrently, and
+atomically publishes one operator-owned comparison bundle. It remains local:
+it does not create application state or send a Distributor notification.
 
-`scriptorium` is an external adapter, not domain logic. Subprocess execution must be isolated under `internal/adapters/scriptorium`, use context-aware execution, avoid shell interpolation, capture actionable stderr, and keep scriptorium-specific flags from leaking into domain packages.
+The supported report products are Daily, Today, Tomorrow, and Hourly. A batch
+collects once, validates its complete candidate prompt/profile set before
+collection, then determines and validates every planned output destination
+before executing reports sequentially with one executor. It continues after
+independent report failures and sends a batch notification only after every
+planned report succeeds.
 
-`distributor` is also an external adapter. Upload behavior must be isolated
-under `internal/adapters/distributor`, dependency types from the distributor
-module must not leak outside that adapter, and the selected upload source must
-be the managed Markdown report rather than optional output copies or broad
-workspace scans.
+## Ownership And Boundaries
 
-## Project Shape
+- `internal/cli` owns command parsing, help, summaries, and one executor
+  construction per action.
+- `internal/config` owns defaults, loading, validation, and secret loading.
+- `internal/app` owns in-memory workflow order, partial results, atomic output
+  publication, and notification coordination through project-owned contracts.
+- `internal/comparison` owns comparison identity, durable logical bundle
+  validation, safe destination recognition, and atomic bundle publication.
+- Deterministic domain packages own weather derivation, report periods, modules,
+  generated-text validation, and template contexts.
+- `internal/adapters/weatherapi`, `internal/adapters/promptkit`, and
+  `internal/adapters/distributor` own their external dependency mechanics.
 
-Default to a small, explicit, dependency-light Go application. Keep the design modular enough to test and change safely, but do not add abstraction unless it protects a real boundary or enables a real extension point.
+Dependency-specific Promptkit types remain inside its adapter. The application
+does not parse flags, construct provider clients, or render provider output
+directly.
 
-Business/domain logic should live outside CLI, transport, and external-adapter packages.
+## Prompt Execution Invariants
 
-## Dependency Policy
+- Prompts receive curated module packages, never unbounded raw weather payloads.
+- Every execution validates the exact prompt version and output contract before
+  collection. The selected profile is configured explicitly or declared by the
+  prompt; profiles requiring unsupported direct API keys fail before collection.
+  A profile may have an empty backend identity when it supplies an endpoint;
+  PromptKit resolves inherited profiles and optional credential sources when it
+  executes them.
+- Prompt and profile validation completes before weather collection. Raw output
+  is validated before template rendering.
+- PromptKit may make at most the prompt contract's one corrective generation;
+  exhaustion is a validation rejection, not an application-level retry.
+- Comparison validates every explicit profile before collection, prepares one
+  immutable report input, and delegates backend capacity to Promptkit rather
+  than adding an application-wide execution limit.
+- Generated text fills defined prose slots only. Deterministic facts remain
+  authoritative and repository-owned templates produce all Markdown output.
+- Sensitive rendered prompts, schemas, input bodies, provider endpoints, and
+  credentials never enter normal summaries or logs. They are written only to
+  an explicit secure debug root when requested.
+- Provider-controlled diagnostics never enter ordinary outputs; they are
+  retained only in explicit secure failure-debug artifacts.
 
-Prefer the Go standard library where practical.
+## Output, Notification, And Testing Invariants
 
-Use external dependencies only when justified by correctness, security, interoperability, or substantial complexity reduction. Good reasons include complex security-sensitive behavior, such as HTML sanitization, or widely used de facto standards, such as YAML parsing.
+- Normal execution is stateless: it keeps weather data, prompt input, generated
+  text, and render context in memory and creates no application-owned durable
+  state.
+- Markdown writes are atomic at an operator-selected destination. A
+  pre-publication failure, including cancellation observed immediately before
+  publication, does not replace an existing destination; a notification failure
+  does not remove a newly published output.
+- A single-report final destination is either absent or a regular file.
+  Symlinks and special filesystem objects are rejected during preflight and
+  rechecked immediately before the atomic replacement.
+- Configuration or explicit CLI input selects that operator-owned destination;
+  it does not create an application-owned state boundary.
+- Comparison bundles are flat, versioned operator outputs. Their guarded
+  replacement accepts only a recognized current bundle; cancellation and every
+  pre-publication failure preserve a prior bundle, while individual profile
+  failures can publish a complete partial bundle.
+- Distributor uploads use only the published Markdown output, never a scan of
+  local files. Single notification follows publication; batch notification
+  follows publication of every selected report. Batch counters describe report
+  outcomes only; a failed batch notification is represented separately at the
+  batch level.
+- Comparison never invokes Distributor notification.
+- Profile comparison supports operator review only: it does not score, rank,
+  select, resample, or replay profile executions.
+- Default tests are deterministic, offline, and use Promptkit/provider fakes
+  rather than live provider calls. See the [testing policy](testing.md).
 
-Avoid dependencies for small conveniences. Do not let external dependency types leak across internal package boundaries unless the dependency is itself the explicit public contract of that package.
+## Non-Goals
 
-## Package Layout
-
-Use this layout unless the project has a documented reason to differ:
-
-- `internal/app`: application orchestration and top-level use cases.
-- `internal/cli`: CLI command definitions, flags, argument parsing, and command wiring.
-- `internal/config`: configuration structs, defaults, loading, precedence, and validation.
-- `internal/adapters/<name>`: adapters for external CLIs, APIs, databases, object stores, or libraries.
-- `internal/api`: HTTP API handlers and request/response types, when the application exposes an HTTP API.
-- `internal/transport/http`: HTTP client code, when the application calls HTTP services.
-
-Package-private implementation constants may live near the package that owns them, preferably in `constants.go` when useful.
-
-## Configuration
-
-Centralize configuration loading, processing, precedence, defaults, and validation in `internal/config`.
-
-The goal is to make configuration discoverable and avoid implicit or hidden operational values. User-visible defaults and cross-package operational defaults should be defined in `internal/config/defaults.go`.
-
-Configuration precedence is:
-
-1. CLI flags
-2. configuration file
-3. built-in defaults
-
-Prefer YAML configuration unless the project has a strong reason to use another format. Config files should be discovered at `/usr/local/etc/<app_name>/config.yml`, with a CLI override via `--config`.
-
-Configuration files should not contain raw secrets unless the application is explicitly designed for that. Prefer environment variables or secret files for secrets. File-backed secrets are loaded through `secrets.directory`; secret values must not be logged, persisted, or included in user-facing output.
-
-## Adapters and External Integrations
-
-Use a hexagonal architecture style for external integrations.
-
-External adapters belong under `internal/adapters/<name>`. If an adapter uses an external dependency, that dependency’s interface must not leak outside the adapter package. Other packages should interact only with the adapter’s API, so the dependency can be swapped, upgraded, or removed without touching unrelated code.
-
-Adapters should be thin. Domain decisions belong in application/domain packages, not inside adapter glue.
-
-## Components and Registries
-
-When the application has major workflow components, each component should live
-near the package that owns its contract and have explicit inputs and outputs.
-
-The orchestrator should compose components in an explicit order using a default
-sequence, dependency graph, or documented orchestration rule.
-
-If users can select components, validators, renderers, or adapters, selection
-should go through a registry or equivalent mechanism rather than scattered
-conditionals.
-
-## Embedded Assets
-
-Store embedded JSON schemas, Markdown prompts, templates, and similar assets as separate files, not inline string literals, unless there is a strong reason otherwise.
-
-## Errors and Logging
-
-Errors should be actionable and preserve context. Wrap errors with operation and path/resource context. CLI code should convert internal errors into concise user-facing messages.
-
-Errors and logs must not expose secrets.
-
-Use structured logging where practical. Logs should describe operations, paths, external calls, retries, and failure causes, but should not include large user data by default.
-
-## Context, Timeouts, and Cancellation
-
-Long-running operations should accept `context.Context`. External calls,
-subprocesses, HTTP requests, storage operations, and multi-step workflows should
-respect cancellation and timeouts.
-
-## State, Files, and Safety
-
-If the application writes durable state, writes should be atomic where
-practical. Multi-step workflows should preserve enough state to support
-inspection and retry diagnosis after failure.
-
-Code that deletes, moves, or overwrites files must use narrow, explicit paths. Avoid broad parent-directory operations. Cleanup that can cause data loss must be opt-in.
-
-## Testing
-
-Core logic should be testable without real external services. Use fakes, fixtures, or local test doubles for adapters where practical.
-
-Config examples should be load-tested. Important CLI workflows should have
-parser or command tests. Component contracts should have focused tests that do
-not require running the full application unless end-to-end coverage is
-intentional.
-
-## Documentation
-
-Documentation should follow the project documentation policy. Keep user docs focused on implemented behavior. Put future, planned, or aspirational work only under `docs/roadmap/`.
-
-When changing architecture, config, CLI behavior, adapters, or component
-contracts, update the relevant docs and examples in the same change.
+Weatherreporter is not a weather-data ingestion service, general LLM
+orchestration framework, plugin platform, HTTP service, multi-user job system,
+or a replacement for Promptkit or Distributor.

-
-## Local Validation
-
-Use focused checks while editing and broader checks before committing:
-
-```bash
-go test ./...
-go run ./cmd/weatherreporter --help
-git diff --check
-```
-
-Useful focused checks:
-
-```bash
-go test ./internal/cli ./internal/config
-go test ./internal/app ./internal/state
-go test ./internal/adapters/distributor ./internal/adapters/weatherapi ./internal/adapters/scriptorium
-go test ./internal/forecast ./internal/report ./internal/briefing ./internal/changes ./internal/promptinput
-```
-
-Run `gofmt -w` on changed Go files before committing.
-
-## Coding Conventions
-
-- Keep domain logic out of `cmd`, `internal/cli`, and adapter packages.
-- Prefer small explicit structs and functions over broad framework-style
-  abstractions.
-- Keep package APIs narrow and named around implemented behavior.
-- Return errors with operation, path, endpoint, report, or RunID context.
-- Do not log or expose secrets.
-- Use `context.Context` for external calls, subprocesses, and orchestrated
-  workflows that may be canceled.
-- Use atomic writes for durable JSON artifacts where practical.
-- Keep report selection and prompt IDs centralized in `internal/report`.
-- Keep Scriptorium argv construction inside `internal/adapters/scriptorium`.
-- Keep distributor package types and upload-client construction inside
-  `internal/adapters/distributor`.
-- Keep Weather API transport and envelope handling inside
-  `internal/adapters/weatherapi`.
-
-## Dependency Policy
-
-Prefer the Go standard library. Add dependencies only when they materially
-improve correctness, interoperability, security, or maintainability.
-
-Current external dependencies:
-
-- `gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/distributor` for distributor source bundle
-  construction and HTTP upload client behavior.
-- `gopkg.in/yaml.v3` for YAML configuration parsing.
-
-When adding a dependency:
-
-- explain why the standard library is not enough;
-- keep dependency types from leaking across unrelated package boundaries;
-- add tests for the behavior the dependency supports;
-- update this policy if the dependency becomes part of contributor workflow.
-
-## Configuration Changes
-
-Configuration is owned by `internal/config`.
-
-When adding or changing a field:
-
-- update `Config` and the nested config struct in `config.go`;
-- add or adjust defaults in `defaults.go` when the field has a safe default;
-- update loading or CLI override behavior in `load.go` only when needed;
-- validate required values and accepted ranges in `validate.go`;
-- add or update config tests;
-- update `docs/config.md` and maintained examples when the field is user
-  visible;
-- keep secrets out of example config files.
-
-Configuration precedence is:
-
-1. CLI overrides supported by `config.LoadOptions`;
-2. configuration file values;
-3. built-in defaults.
-
-The default config path is `/usr/local/etc/weatherreporter/config.yml`.
-
-## CLI Changes
-
-The CLI is owned by `internal/cli`.
-
-When adding or changing a command or flag:
-
-- update help text and parser behavior together;
-- convert parsed values into app-layer request structs;
-- keep domain decisions in `internal/app` or domain packages;
-- add parser or command tests in `internal/cli`;
-- update `docs/cli.md`;
-- update `docs/operations.md` or `docs/troubleshooting.md` when behavior affects
-  operators.
-
-CLI commands should return concise actionable errors and avoid printing partial
-JSON when command construction fails.
-
-## Components And Adapters
-
-Use existing package boundaries before adding a package.
-
-Add a new internal component only when it owns a distinct implemented contract.
-Define its inputs, outputs, state behavior, failure behavior, tests, and
-invariants in `docs/internal/`.
-
-Adapters should stay thin:
-
-- HTTP adapters own transport, request construction, envelope handling, and
-  decode boundaries.
-- subprocess adapters own argv construction, timeout handling, stdout/stderr
-  capture, and exit-code interpretation.
-- adapter packages should not own report selection, forecast summarization,
-  Recent Changes, or prompt input schema decisions.
-
-When an external contract changes, update the matching file under
-`docs/integrations/`.
-
-## Tests
-
-Core tests must not require live Weather API, Scriptorium, or distributor
-services.
-
-Preferred test patterns:
-
-- fake command runners for subprocess behavior;
-- `httptest.Server` for Weather API behavior;
-- fake distributor upload clients for notification behavior;
-- filesystem temp directories for state behavior;
-- deterministic clocks for report periods and RunIDs;
-- table tests for config validation, CLI parsing, period resolution, and
-  threshold behavior.
-
-Add focused tests near the package that owns the behavior. Use app-level tests
-for workflow ordering, persistence, and cross-package contracts.
-
-## Examples
-
-Examples under `examples/` must be real, maintained, and free of secrets.
-
-When updating examples:
-
-- use implemented config fields only;
-- avoid private endpoints and credentials;
-- keep comments short and operationally useful;
-- add or update validation coverage when a new example file is introduced;
-- link maintained examples from `docs/config.md`.
-
-Do not add generated report examples unless they can be kept current without
-live external services.
-
-## Documentation Checklist
-
-Documentation updates are part of behavior changes.
-
-Update:
-
-- `README.md` for project orientation or quickstart changes;
-- `docs/cli.md` for command and flag changes;
-- `docs/config.md` for config fields, defaults, and precedence changes;
-- `docs/operations.md` for state, artifact, batch, inspection, and recovery
-  behavior;
-- `docs/troubleshooting.md` for recurring operator-facing failure modes;
-- `docs/internal/` for component contracts and invariants;
-- `docs/integrations/` for external Weather API, Scriptorium, or distributor
-  contract changes;
-- `docs/roadmap/` only for unimplemented or deferred work.
-
-Non-roadmap docs must describe implemented behavior only.

-# Go Project Documentation Policy
+# Documentation Policy
 
 ## Purpose
 
-Project documentation must help four audiences:
-
-1. users who need to run the application;
-2. administrators/operators who need to configure and operate it;
-3. developers who need to understand and change it safely;
-4. LLM coding agents that need clear scope, boundaries, and invariants.
-
-Docs should be accurate, concise, task-oriented, and organized by audience. Prefer links to canonical docs over repetition.
+This policy assigns each Weatherreporter documentation topic to one canonical
+owner. Its goal is to keep documentation accurate, concise, discoverable, and
+resistant to drift for users, operators, developers, integrators, maintainers,
+and coding agents.
 
 ## Core Rules
 
-### 1. Keep docs concise
-
-Each document should cover a defined scope and only the essentials for that scope.
-
-Avoid:
-- long background explanations;
-- repeated reference material;
-- implementation detail in user-facing docs;
-- aspirational language outside roadmap docs;
-- verbose examples where one minimal example is clearer.
-
-### 2. Document only implemented behavior outside roadmap files
-
-Unimplemented, planned, aspirational, experimental, or future work may be described only under:
-
-- `docs/roadmap/`
-
-No other documentation file, including `README.md`, should describe code, features, modules, stages, commands, config fields, or behaviors that do not currently exist.
-
-If a feature is partial, non-roadmap docs may describe only the implemented portion and its current boundary.
-
-### 3. Use canonical homes
-
-Each type of information should have one canonical location.
-
-Canonical homes:
-
-- project purpose and quickstart: `README.md`
-- development principles: `docs/policy/architecture.md`
-- configuration reference: `docs/config.md`
-- CLI reference: `docs/cli.md`
-- operations and recovery: `docs/operations.md`
-- troubleshooting: `docs/troubleshooting.md`
-- implemented internals: `docs/internal/`
-- future work: `docs/roadmap/`
-- contributor workflow: `docs/policy/development.md`
-- copyable examples: `examples/`
-
-Other files should summarize briefly and link to the canonical source.
-
-### 4. Keep examples real
-
-Examples should be valid, maintained, and free of secrets.
-
-Where practical:
-- example configs should load successfully;
-- example commands should match real CLI syntax;
-- important examples should be covered by tests.
-

-## Required Documents
-
-### README.md
-
-**Audience:** users, administrators, operators
-
-The README is the outward-facing project orientation page.
-
-It should include, in order:
-
-1. concise description;
-2. elevator pitch;
-3. shortest useful command or usage example;
-4. links to targeted docs.
-
-The README should be short. It is not a manual.
-
-The “shortest useful command” means the simplest command that performs the project’s core use case. (It does not mean `app --help`.)
-
-### docs/policy/architecture.md
-
-**Audience:** developers, LLM coding agents
-
-`docs/policy/architecture.md` is required for every project.
-

-It should include:
-
-- project shape;
-- core design principles;
-- package and boundary philosophy;
-- state/persistence philosophy, if applicable;
-- external integration philosophy, if applicable;
-- error-handling and logging principles;
-- testing expectations;
-- documentation expectations;
-- architectural invariants;

-
-The full configuration reference should be canonical.
-
-### docs/cli.md
-
-**Audience:** users, administrators, operators
-
-Required for CLI applications.
-
-It should include, in order:
-
-1. shortest useful command;
-2. command overview;
-3. complete flag reference;
-4. common workflows;
-5. diagnostic or recovery commands, if applicable.
-
-Explain when commands are useful, not just their syntax.
-
-### docs/operations.md
-
-**Audience:** administrators, operators
-
-Required for applications that maintain state, support resume behavior, run multiple stages, write durable artifacts, use remote storage, or require recovery procedures.
-
-It should cover:
-
-- normal workflow;
-- filesystem layout;
-- remote storage layout, if applicable;
-- logs and manifests;
-- resume/retry behavior;
-- cleanup behavior;
-- archive/backup behavior;
-- safe recovery procedures;
-- operational caveats.
-
-### docs/troubleshooting.md
-
-**Audience:** administrators, operators
-
-Recommended once recurring failure modes exist.
-
-Each entry should include:
-
-- symptom;
-- likely cause;
-- diagnostic command or inspection step;
-- safe fix;
-- relevant links.
-
-### docs/internal/
-
-**Audience:** developers, LLM coding agents
-
-Required for modular, staged, service-oriented, or orchestration projects.
-
-This directory describes implemented internal components. It is not the roadmap.
-
-Use one file per major component where useful.
-
-Each component doc should include:
-
-1. purpose;
-2. inputs and outputs;
-3. boundaries;
-4. config fields used;
-5. external adapters used;
-6. state or manifest behavior, if applicable;
-7. skip/resume behavior, if applicable;
-8. failure behavior;

-
-### docs/roadmap/
-
-**Audience:** maintainers, developers, LLM coding agents
-
-This is the only place for planned, future, aspirational, experimental, or unimplemented work.
-
-Roadmap docs should clearly distinguish:
-
-- proposed work;
-- accepted plans;
-- deferred ideas;
-- rejected ideas;
-- implementation prompts or task breakdowns, if useful.
-
-Roadmap docs should not be confused with current behavior.
-
-### docs/integrations/
-
-**Audience:** developers, LLM coding agents
-
-Required for projects that depend on external CLIs, APIs, services, protocols, or file formats where the integration contract is important to maintain.
-
-This directory contains concise, versioned reference notes for external integration contracts. It should document only the parts of the external system that this project actually uses.
-
-Use one file per integration where useful.
-
-## Examples Directory
-
-Projects with non-trivial configuration or workflows should include `examples/`.
-
-Useful examples include:
-
-- minimal working config;
-- production-oriented config;
-- full annotated config;
-- local development config;
-- remote/object-storage config;
-- minimal session/input file.
-
-Examples should be valid, maintained, tested when practical, and linked from relevant docs.
-
-## Security and Privacy
-
-Docs and examples must not include:
-
-- real API keys;
-- tokens;
-- passwords;
-- private keys;
-- private environment dumps;
-- sensitive user data;
-- raw private transcripts;
-- private infrastructure details unless intentionally public.
-
-Document secret-handling mechanisms, not actual secret values.
-
-## Maintenance Rules
-
-When docs change, verify the affected behavior.
-
-Where practical:
-
-- load example config files in tests;
-- test CLI examples or command parser behavior;
-- validate documented flags against real flags;
-- remove stale references;
-- update links after renames;
-- keep roadmap content out of non-roadmap docs.
-
-If documentation and code disagree, fix the documentation and/or open a roadmap item; do not leave aspirational behavior in current-behavior docs.
-
-Documentation is complete only when it matches the current code.
-
-## Documentation Change Checklist
-
-Before merging documentation changes, verify:
-
-- README is concise and orientation-focused.
-- `docs/policy/architecture.md` describes development principles.
-- Future work appears only under `docs/roadmap/`.
-- User-facing docs avoid unnecessary internals.
-- Developer-facing docs preserve boundaries and invariants.
-- Config examples match the schema.
-- CLI examples match real commands and flags.
-- Defaults appear in the canonical config reference.
-- No secrets or private data are included.
-- Links are accurate.
+### One Canonical Documentation Owner
+
+Each authoritative fact belongs in one canonical document or documentation
+area. A non-owning document may give a short, stable summary for orientation,
+but it must link to the canonical owner instead of maintaining a second
+definition.
+
+Volatile details include commands, flags, configuration fields and defaults,
+report and module IDs, schemas, file names, paths, status and exit behavior,
+retry behavior, and runtime guarantees. If readers could reasonably treat a
+statement as a contract, its exact documentation belongs with the owner named
+in this policy.
+
+Executable sources of truth and documentation owners serve different purposes.
+Code, schemas, and embedded assets determine runtime behavior. The canonical
+document owns the corresponding explanation or reference for readers. Both may
+necessarily express the same contract, but other documentation should summarize
+and link rather than create another complete reference. When implementation and
+documentation disagree, verify the intended behavior and update them together.
+
+### Current State, Decisions, And Future Work
+
+Outside `docs/roadmap/`, documentation describes implemented behavior only.
+Partial features may be described only to their implemented boundary.
+
+An accepted architecture decision may describe an approved direction before it
+is implemented, but acceptance is not evidence that the behavior exists.
+Current-state documents change when the implementation lands. Temporary
+roadmaps own future work, sequencing, and implementation status; they do not
+replace durable policies, decisions, or current contracts.
+
+### Audience And Detail
+
+Write for the document's stated audience and include only the detail needed for
+its owned topic. User and operator documentation should not expose incidental
+implementation detail. Developer documentation should link to user-facing and
+external contracts instead of restating them.
+
+### Links
+
+Use descriptive link text and repository-relative links for repository
+documents. Link to the canonical owner rather than to a duplicate summary.
+Check every added or changed link, and repair or remove links when their target
+moves or is retired.
+
+### Examples And Code Fences
+
+Complete copyable files belong in `examples/` when maintained examples exist.
+Documentation may use the smallest illustrative snippet needed for its owned
+topic, but should link to a maintained example instead of embedding a second
+complete copy.
+
+Examples must be valid, secret-free, and tested where practical. Commands,
+flags, configuration, imports, and Go snippets must match implemented behavior.
+Use a language tag on fenced code blocks, and identify fragments that are
+illustrative rather than directly runnable.
+
+### Security And Privacy
+
+Documentation and examples must not contain real credentials, private keys,
+private environment dumps, sensitive source material, or private
+infrastructure details unless intentionally public. Document secret-handling
+mechanisms, not secret values.
+

+| Complete copyable artifacts | `examples/` | Maintained configuration and other files intended to be copied or run. | Field-by-field reference, command reference, and prose explanation. |
+
+Conditional owners do not require placeholder files or directories. If
+Weatherreporter introduces a new public API, consumer interface, release
+process, or other durable documentation responsibility, update this policy to
+assign its canonical owner when that responsibility is introduced.
+
+## Boundary Rules
+
+### Orientation, Architecture, And Internals
+
+The README owns product orientation. The development policy routes contributors
+and owns the concise current package inventory. Architecture owns normative
+structure and invariants. Focused internal documents own implementation
+behavior. These documents may link to one another but must not maintain
+parallel package or behavior references.
+
+### Commands, Configuration, And Operations
+
+CLI documentation answers how to invoke Weatherreporter and what its command
+interface does. Configuration documentation answers what settings mean.
+Operations answers how to handle operator-owned outputs and runtime failures,
+including diagnosis, explicit debug capture, and safe legacy cleanup.
+
+When a workflow crosses these topics, place the complete procedure with the
+document that owns the task and link to the other contracts. Do not duplicate
+complete flag, field, or path references to make a workflow self-contained.
+
+### Templates, Integrations, And Implementation
+
+Template documentation defines the maintainer-facing rendering surface.
+Integration documentation defines externally observable shapes, logical paths,
+protocols, and compatibility behavior. Internal documentation explains how
+Weatherreporter produces, transforms, or consumes those contracts.
+
+Internal documents may name a command, field, template value, path, or protocol
+to identify a dependency, but must link to its canonical documentation for the
+complete definition.
+
+### Release Procedure And Release Notes
+
+The release procedure owns how a maintainer prepares, publishes, verifies, and
+recovers from a Weatherreporter release. Release notes under `docs/releases/`
+own the concise historical summary for one version and are the checked-in
+source for its generated Gitea release body.
+
+Release notes are not current-state reference documents. They may summarize
+what changed and link to durable documentation, but they must not become a
+second command, configuration, operations, integration, architecture, or
+internal reference. Correct the applicable canonical owner in the same change
+when a release changes an implemented contract.
+
+The release note at a published tag and the Gitea release generated from it are
+historical records. Later corrections on `main` do not rewrite that published
+record. Material release errors require the failure handling defined by the
+release procedure rather than moving a published tag or overwriting its
+release.
+
+### Executable Authority
+
+CLI parsing and help generation are the executable authority for accepted
+commands and flags. Configuration structs, defaults, loading, and validation
+are the executable authority for configuration behavior. Schemas and embedded
+assets are the executable authority for validated formats and template
+execution. Tests protect selected contracts and invariants but do not become a
+second documentation reference merely by asserting them.
+
+Canonical documentation must be checked against these authorities whenever the
+corresponding behavior changes.
+
+### Security Topics
+
+This policy owns what documentation and examples may contain. Architecture owns
+application security boundaries and invariants. Configuration owns
+credential-supply mechanisms. Operations owns permissions and handling of
+sensitive runtime artifacts. Integration documents own consumer-visible
+security contracts. Internal documents own implementation mechanisms only.
+
+## Architecture Decision Records
+
+Use sequentially numbered ADR filenames such as
+`0001-record-architecture-decisions.md`. Follow the lightweight Nygard format:
+
+1. title;
+2. status;
+3. date;
+4. context;
+5. decision;
+6. alternatives considered;
+7. consequences.
+
+Use one of these statuses:
+
+- **Proposed:** the decision is under consideration and may change;
+- **Accepted:** the decision is approved, whether or not implementation is
+  complete;
+- **Rejected:** the proposed decision was considered and not adopted;
+- **Superseded:** a later accepted ADR replaces the accepted decision.
+
+A proposed ADR transitions to Accepted or Rejected. An Accepted ADR transitions
+to Superseded only when a later Accepted ADR replaces it. An ADR may be created
+as Accepted when the decision has already been made.
+
+Treat the decision content of an Accepted ADR as immutable. A changed decision
+requires a later ADR rather than a rewrite of the accepted record. A Superseded
+ADR must link to its replacement, and the replacement must link back. Rejected
+architectural alternatives belong in the ADR; rejected feature ideas belong in
+a roadmap when they need to be retained.
+
+## Document Lifecycle
+
+Create durable current-state documentation with the implementation it
+describes. Update its canonical owner in the same change when behavior changes.
+If ownership moves, remove the old definition and leave a link where navigation
+remains useful.
+
+Roadmaps are temporary coordination documents. When their work is complete,
+record completion, move any still-useful decisions or contracts to their
+durable owners, update incoming links, and archive or remove the roadmap
+according to repository practice. Do not preserve completed roadmaps as a
+second current-state reference.
+
+Release notes are durable historical summaries rather than temporary roadmaps.
+Keep them concise, retain them after publication, and keep current contracts in
+their canonical owners.
+
+Before completing documentation work:
+
+- verify affected behavior and examples;
+- check commands, flags, fields, defaults, schemas, paths, and identifiers
+  against their implementation;
+- keep unimplemented behavior in a roadmap, subject to the ADR exception;
+- validate links and fenced examples;
+- confirm non-owning documents summarize and link rather than redefine;
+- remove stale or unsupported claims; and
+- confirm that no secrets or sensitive private data were added.

+# Testing Policy
+
+## Purpose
+
+Our tests exist to make **incorrect changes expensive and correct changes
+cheap**.
+
+We do not optimize for test count, line coverage, exhaustive isolation, or the
+fewest possible tests. We optimize for sufficient confidence in important
+behavior while imposing as little unnecessary friction as possible on future
+development.
+
+## Every Test Has A Cost
+
+Every test has an immediate cost and a continuing lifetime cost. It must be
+written, reviewed, executed, understood, diagnosed when it fails, updated when
+legitimate behavior changes, and maintained as fixtures and dependencies
+evolve.
+
+Tests also create cognitive and architectural friction. They can constrain
+refactoring, duplicate policy, slow feedback, add noise to failures, and cause
+harmless implementation changes to require unrelated suite edits.
+
+A test is warranted when the confidence it provides justifies those costs.
+Apply that judgment at two levels:
+
+1. **Per test:** What realistic defect does this test detect, how consequential
+   would it 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?
+
+Prefer a lean suite that provides sufficient confidence in the risks that
+matter without redundant or low-value tests. Some friction is intentional:
+tests should make dangerous changes, such as corrupting state, breaking
+compatibility, violating security boundaries, or reintroducing subtle defects,
+require deliberate review. They should not make ordinary internal changes
+needlessly expensive.
+
+Maintenance cost is not a reason to omit testing by default. When omitting a
+plausible test, be able to explain why the protected failure is low-risk,
+already covered, obvious, reversible, or cheaper to detect elsewhere. Favor
+testing when failure would be consequential, subtle, or difficult to observe.
+
+## Default Testing Style
+
+Use a classical or Detroit-style approach:
+
+- Test observable behavior, resulting state, contracts, and invariants.
+- Use real internal collaborators when they are fast and deterministic.
+- Use fakes, stubs, or mocks primarily at expensive, nondeterministic,
+  destructive, or external boundaries.
+- Prefer package-level behavioral tests over tests coupled to private helpers
+  or internal call sequences.
+- Test exact collaborator interactions only when the interaction itself is a
+  requirement.
+
+Weatherreporter's important seams include clocks, Promptkit executors, HTTP
+services, Distributor uploads, filesystem roots, environment-backed secrets, and any
+future source of randomness or nondeterminism.
+
+## Execution Requirements
+
+The [development guide](../development.md) owns baseline repository validation.
+The default test suite is:
+
+```sh
+go test ./...
+```
+
+Run race-enabled tests when a change affects concurrent execution, goroutine
+lifecycle, shared mutable state, or cancellation coordination. Use a focused
+package command while iterating and `go test -race ./...` when the risk crosses
+package boundaries.
+
+Tests in the default suite must be deterministic, offline, and independent of
+real credentials. They must not invoke live Weather API, Promptkit providers, or
+Distributor services or depend on other mutable external infrastructure.
+Tests that require live infrastructure must be explicitly opt-in and clearly
+separated from the default suite.
+
+Control clocks, environment variables, filesystem roots, and machine-specific
+state when they affect behavior. Tests must be safe to repeat and must not
+depend on execution order or state left by an earlier test. Tests that modify
+process-global state may remain serial; use `t.Parallel()` only when the test
+and its collaborators are actually safe to run concurrently.
+
+## Test Types And Assets
+
+Use each test type where it protects a distinct risk:
+
+- Unit and package tests protect focused domain behavior and invariants through
+  the narrowest stable boundary.
+- Contract tests protect CLI behavior, configuration, durable artifacts,
+  schemas, templates, integration formats, compatibility, and stable error
+  identity.
+- Integration tests use real deterministic collaborators when correctness
+  depends on their interaction, while replacing live or nondeterministic
+  external boundaries.
+- App and CLI tests protect representative assembled generation, batch, atomic
+  output, and notification workflows.
+- Fixtures must be minimal, synthetic, versioned with the behavior they
+  exercise, and free of credentials or private data.
+- Golden files are appropriate only when the complete output is intentionally
+  stable and semantic review of updates is practical.
+- Failure-path tests should cover consequential malformed input, dependency
+  failure, cancellation, partial results, and recovery behavior.
+
+## What Deserves Tests
+
+Prioritize tests for:
+
+1. CLI, configuration, artifact, template, integration, and package contracts.
+2. Meteorological domain rules and important invariants.
+3. Boundary conditions and malformed input.
+4. Failure handling, cancellation, retries, recovery, and partial success.
+5. Serialization, schemas, compatibility, and round trips.
+6. Previously observed or plausible regressions.
+7. Representative app and CLI workflows.
+
+A package-level contract is behavior relied upon by another package or major
+collaborator, not every observable implementation detail.
+
+For data integrity, destructive operations, compatibility, security,
+concurrency, idempotency, or recovery, presume that durable tests are required
+unless the behavior is already credibly protected at another layer.
+
+Do not add tests merely because a function, branch, or line exists. Do not add
+a test when the same meaningful risk is already adequately protected
+elsewhere.
+
+## Choose The Right Boundary
+
+Test through the narrowest stable boundary that expresses the behavior clearly.
+That may be:
+
+- a small pure function when dense domain logic is clearest there;
+- a package operation when several internal collaborators jointly produce the
+  behavior; or
+- a larger integration or app boundary when correctness emerges from
+  interaction.
+
+Do not force every behavior through oversized workflow tests. Do not test every
+private helper merely because it exists. Choose the boundary that provides
+durable confidence with the least incidental coupling.
+
+## Test Behavior, Not Implementation
+
+A test should protect a decision, contract, or invariant, not memorialize the
+current implementation. Before adding or retaining a test, ask:
+
+> What realistic defect would this test catch?
+
+A test is suspect when its main purpose is to detect that someone changed a
+private constant, renamed or split a helper, reordered equivalent operations,
+changed incidental formatting, replaced one correct algorithm with another, or
+refactored private structure without changing behavior.
+
+Refactoring should normally require no test edits unless the changed structure
+is itself contractual. A test can be factually correct and still have negative
+value when the behavior it protects is too incidental to justify its future
+cost.
+
+Use these expectations when evaluating failures:
+
+| Change | Expected effect on tests |
+| --- | --- |
+| Internal refactor that preserves behavior | Existing tests should normally remain unchanged and pass. |
+| Internal default change with no contractual significance | Tests should normally derive expectations from configuration or relationships rather than duplicate the old value. |
+| Intentional change to user-visible behavior, policy, schema, or compatibility | Relevant tests should be reviewed and changed deliberately. |
+| Accidental contract or invariant violation | Tests should fail; fix production code rather than rewriting tests to accept the defect. |
+
+A failing test is not necessarily a test that should be edited. Many tests may
+correctly fail because of one production defect. The maintenance smell is a
+correct internal change that requires unrelated expectation changes throughout
+the suite.
+
+## Separate Mechanism From Policy
+
+Do not duplicate configurable thresholds and defaults throughout the suite.
+Test mechanisms relationally: a configured valid value is accepted, a value
+outside the permitted relationship is rejected, and runtime behavior respects
+the configured value.
+
+Test an exact default when its literal value is itself a documented user,
+operational, safety, protocol, or compatibility contract. The same distinction
+applies to timeouts, capacities, retry counts, ranges, thresholds, and output
+limits.
+
+When concurrency limits are introduced, distinguish configuration enforcement
+from runtime enforcement. Validate accepted and rejected settings separately
+from measuring whether observed peak concurrency respects the configured
+limit.
+
+## Avoid Semantic Duplication
+
+Each behavior should have a clear test owner:
+
+- CLI parser tests own arguments, flags, and command construction.
+- Config tests own loading, precedence, defaults, secrets, and validation.
+- Domain tests own weather transformations and invariants.
+- Adapter tests own HTTP, Promptkit/provider, and upload boundaries.
+- Orchestrator tests own workflow ordering, output publication, partial success,
+  and failure propagation.
+- Filesystem tests own atomic writes and destination-preservation behavior.
+- Template and generated-text tests own schemas, render contexts, and rendered
+  output contracts.
+
+Higher-level tests should not repeat every lower-level case. Tests that are
+individually reasonable may still be collectively redundant; assess the
+marginal protection of each additional test.
+
+## Use Test Doubles Deliberately
+
+Choose the least elaborate double that provides the required control or
+observation:
+
+1. Prefer real collaborators when they are fast and deterministic.
+2. Use small in-memory fakes when realistic stateful behavior helps.
+3. Use stubs when a dependency only needs controlled responses.
+4. Use mocks when the interaction itself is contractual.
+
+Mocks are appropriate for requirements such as uploading exactly once,
+notifying only after output publication, propagating cancellation to Promptkit, or
+avoiding an external call after an earlier workflow failure. Do not use mocks
+merely to isolate every object or reproduce the implementation's call graph.
+
+## Go-Specific Guidance
+
+Use:
+
+- table-driven tests for meaningful behavioral categories and boundaries;
+- `t.TempDir()` for real filesystem behavior;
+- `httptest.Server` for realistic Weather API interactions;
+- test-controlled clocks for periods and RunIDs;
+- fake Promptkit executors or provider clients for Promptkit behavior;
+- fake upload clients for Distributor behavior;
+- fuzz tests when parsers, normalization, or path handling have a broad and
+  consequential input space;
+- golden files only when complete output stability is intentional; and
+- a small number of representative app and CLI workflow tests.
+
+Avoid exact error-string assertions unless wording is contractual. Prefer
+`errors.Is`, `errors.As`, typed errors, structured fields, or the smallest
+stable semantic fragment that identifies the failure. At CLI boundaries,
+prefer structured summaries, exit behavior, and stable classifications over
+snapshots of complete diagnostic wording.
+
+Golden-file updates must require an explicit local flag. Ordinary validation
+must never update golden files automatically, and maintainers must inspect the
+semantic diff before accepting an update.
+
+Keep tests readable and direct. Helpers and fixture frameworks must earn their
+maintenance cost; do not build elaborate infrastructure for small or isolated
+needs.
+
+## Coverage
+
+Coverage is a diagnostic, not a target. Use it to find untested critical
+branches and unexpectedly weak packages. Do not write low-value tests solely
+to increase a percentage or infer quality from coverage alone.
+
+Pure domain logic will often warrant higher coverage than CLI wiring or thin
+external adapters. Uneven coverage is acceptable when it reflects risk.
+
+## Regression Tests
+
+A bug fix should normally include a regression test that fails before the fix
+and passes afterward. Prefer the narrowest durable test of the violated
+contract or invariant.
+
+Retain the test when the defect could realistically recur and its consequences
+justify the ongoing cost. Remove or consolidate it if the design makes
+recurrence implausible or a stronger invariant test subsumes it.
+
+## Deleting Or Rewriting Tests
+
+Tests are maintained code, not permanent historical artifacts. Delete or
+rewrite a test when its maintenance cost exceeds the confidence it provides.
+Candidates include tests that:
+
+- require edits after harmless internal changes;
+- assert private constants without protecting a real contract;
+- duplicate the same policy across several layers;
+- verify mock choreography rather than outcomes;
+- snapshot large amounts of incidental output;
+- protect risks already covered more effectively elsewhere; or
+- are flaky, misleading, obsolete, or no longer correspond to a plausible
+  failure.
+
+Test removal must be deliberate and within the scope of the change. Identify
+the behavior the test protected and show that the behavior is covered more
+effectively elsewhere or that the failure is no longer plausible enough to
+justify durable coverage. Replace several brittle tests with one stronger
+behavior or invariant test when appropriate.
+
+Do not delete or weaken a test merely because it fails after a production
+change. First determine whether the failure exposes an accidental regression,
+an intentional contract change, or an implementation-coupled assertion.
+
+## Reviewing A Proposed Test
+
+When a proposed test's value or durability is not self-evident, ask:
+
+1. What realistic defect would it catch, and how consequential is that defect?
+2. Is the behavior already protected elsewhere?
+3. Which layer should own the test?
+4. Does it assert a durable contract or incidental implementation detail?
+5. What should cause it to fail, and what legitimate changes should not?
+6. Could a smaller or more direct test protect the same risk?
+7. What ongoing maintenance, execution, and diagnostic cost will it impose?
+
+Written answers are not required for every routine test. Do not add a test when
+its expected lifetime cost exceeds its expected protective value.
+
+## Definition Of Sufficient
+
+A suite is sufficient when:
+
+- important contracts and invariants are protected;
+- meaningful boundaries and failure modes are exercised;
+- consequential regressions are credibly protected against silent recurrence;
+- data integrity, destructive operations, compatibility, security,
+  concurrency, idempotency, and recovery receive risk-appropriate protection;
+- external boundaries have realistic local integration coverage;
+- representative complete workflows are tested;
+- failures provide useful signal rather than redundant noise; and
+- legitimate internal changes usually do not require test edits.
+
+Sufficiency is a risk judgment, not a coverage percentage or test count.
+Reassess it as Weatherreporter, 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.

+# Release Procedure
+
+## Release Model
+
+Weatherreporter publishes executable binaries through tagged commits on
+`main`. Releases use stable semantic-version tags in the form
+`vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`. The current pipeline does not publish prereleases.
+
+Every release has one nonempty, version-matched note at
+`docs/releases/<tag>.md`. After the tag is pushed, the Woodpecker release
+pipeline validates the tagged source, builds six binaries, creates SHA-256
+checksums, and creates the corresponding Gitea release. The pipeline uses the
+checked-in release note as the Gitea release body and does not overwrite an
+existing release.
+
+Before `v1.0.0`, a minor release may deliberately change user-facing
+interfaces when its release note explains the compatibility impact and
+required operator action. Patch releases must not intentionally break the
+documented CLI, configuration, durable artifact, or integration contracts in
+their minor line.
+
+Published tags and their generated releases are immutable. Never move, reuse,
+or delete a published tag, and never manually overwrite the release produced
+from it.
+
+## Select The Version And Write The Release Note
+
+Choose an unpublished version and export it as `RELEASE_VERSION`. Run the
+commands in this procedure from the Weatherreporter repository root in one
+POSIX shell:
+
+```sh
+export RELEASE_VERSION=vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
+```
+
+Create `docs/releases/$RELEASE_VERSION.md` with this structure:
+
+```markdown
+# Weatherreporter vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
+
+This release ...
+
+## Summary
+
+Summarize the release's purpose and most important outcomes.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+State compatibility with the preceding release and identify any changed CLI,
+configuration, durable artifact, integration, or operating contract.
+
+## Upgrade
+
+State the operator actions required to upgrade, or state that no special
+action is required.
+
+## Changes
+
+Describe the material user-visible, operational, and maintainer-visible
+changes. Link to canonical documentation for exact current contracts.
+```
+
+The note is a concise changelog and adoption aid, not a replacement for current
+documentation. Update every affected canonical document in the same candidate
+commit. Do not include credentials, private infrastructure details, or claims
+that are not true of the candidate.
+
+Require the version, path, heading, and minimum sections before continuing:
+
+```sh
+set -eu
+
+: "${RELEASE_VERSION:?export an unpublished vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH version}"
+if ! printf '%s\n' "$RELEASE_VERSION" |
+    grep -Eq '^v(0|[1-9][0-9]*)\.(0|[1-9][0-9]*)\.(0|[1-9][0-9]*)$'
+then
+    printf '%s\n' "invalid release version: $RELEASE_VERSION" >&2
+    exit 1
+fi
+
+RELEASE_NOTE="docs/releases/$RELEASE_VERSION.md"
+export RELEASE_NOTE
+
+test -s "$RELEASE_NOTE"
+grep -Fx "# Weatherreporter $RELEASE_VERSION" "$RELEASE_NOTE"
+grep -Fx '## Summary' "$RELEASE_NOTE"
+grep -Fx '## Compatibility' "$RELEASE_NOTE"
+grep -Fx '## Upgrade' "$RELEASE_NOTE"
+grep -Fx '## Changes' "$RELEASE_NOTE"
+```
+
+## Validate The Candidate
+
+Run the same substantive checks enforced by the tag pipeline before committing
+the release note:
+
+```sh
+test -z "$(git ls-files go.work go.work.sum)"
+test ! -e vendor
+if grep -Eq '^[[:space:]]*replace([[:space:]]|\()' go.mod
+then
+    printf '%s\n' 'go.mod contains a replacement' >&2
+    exit 1
+fi
+
+GOWORK=off go test -count=1 ./...
+GOWORK=off go test -race -count=1 ./...
+GOWORK=off go vet ./...
+GOWORK=off go build ./...
+GOWORK=off go mod tidy -diff
+
+unformatted=$(
+    git ls-files '*.go' |
+        while IFS= read -r go_file
+        do
+            gofmt -l "$go_file"
+        done
+)
+test -z "$unformatted"
+git diff --check
+git diff --cached --check
+```
+
+Follow every added or changed Markdown link and confirm that its local target
+exists. Review the candidate for generated binaries, test output, credentials,
+temporary files, replacements, vendored dependencies, and other files that do
+not belong in source control.
+
+## Publish The Candidate Commit
+
+Commit the release note and any final current-state documentation updates, then
+push `main` through the ordinary repository workflow:
+
+```sh
+git add "$RELEASE_NOTE"
+git commit -m "Document Weatherreporter $RELEASE_VERSION"
+git push origin main
+```
+
+Do not tag an uncommitted or unpushed candidate. Record and export the exact
+candidate commit after the push:
+
+```sh
+RELEASE_COMMIT=$(git rev-parse --verify 'HEAD^{commit}')
+export RELEASE_COMMIT
+```
+
+## Guard And Tag The Candidate
+
+Run this guard immediately before creating the tag. It requires a clean
+checkout on synchronized `main`, valid module hygiene, the version-matched
+release note, and an unpublished local and remote tag:
+
+```sh
+check_release_candidate() {
+    test "$(git branch --show-current)" = main
+    test -z "$(git status --porcelain)"
+
+    gowork_value=$(go env GOWORK)
+    case "$gowork_value" in
+        ''|off) ;;
+        *)
+            printf '%s\n' "active Go workspace: $gowork_value" >&2
+            return 1
+            ;;
+    esac
+
+    test -z "$(git ls-files go.work go.work.sum)"
+    test ! -e vendor
+    if grep -Eq '^[[:space:]]*replace([[:space:]]|\()' go.mod
+    then
+        printf '%s\n' 'go.mod contains a replacement' >&2
+        return 1
+    fi
+
+    test -s "$RELEASE_NOTE"
+    grep -Fx "# Weatherreporter $RELEASE_VERSION" "$RELEASE_NOTE"
+
+    git fetch origin main --tags
+    test "$RELEASE_COMMIT" = \
+        "$(git rev-parse --verify 'refs/remotes/origin/main^{commit}')"
+
+    if git show-ref --verify --quiet "refs/tags/$RELEASE_VERSION"
+    then
+        printf '%s\n' "local tag already exists: $RELEASE_VERSION" >&2
+        return 1
+    fi
+    if test -n "$(
+        git ls-remote --tags origin \
+            "refs/tags/$RELEASE_VERSION" \
+            "refs/tags/$RELEASE_VERSION^{}"
+    )"
+    then
+        printf '%s\n' "remote tag already exists: $RELEASE_VERSION" >&2
+        return 1
+    fi
+}
+
+check_release_candidate
+```
+
+Create a lightweight tag, matching Weatherreporter's existing release tags,
+and bind it explicitly to the guarded commit:
+
+```sh
+git tag "$RELEASE_VERSION" "$RELEASE_COMMIT"
+test "$(git cat-file -t "refs/tags/$RELEASE_VERSION")" = commit
+test "$(git rev-parse --verify "refs/tags/$RELEASE_VERSION^{commit}")" = \
+    "$RELEASE_COMMIT"
+git show --no-patch --decorate "refs/tags/$RELEASE_VERSION"
+```
+
+If inspection finds an error, delete the unpublished local tag, correct the
+candidate, and repeat the procedure. Once the tag is pushed, it is immutable.
+
+## Publish And Verify The Release
+
+Push only the selected tag ref. Do not use `git push --tags`:
+
+```sh
+git push origin \
+    "refs/tags/$RELEASE_VERSION:refs/tags/$RELEASE_VERSION"
+```
+
+The tag event starts the release pipeline. Its validation step rejects a
+non-stable semantic tag, a missing release note, module or repository hygiene
+violations, and any failing test, race test, vet, build, module-tidiness,
+formatting, or whitespace check. Its build step also verifies that the host
+binary reports `weatherreporter $RELEASE_VERSION`.
+
+Wait for the pipeline to succeed, then confirm that the Gitea release:
+
+- targets `RELEASE_COMMIT` through `RELEASE_VERSION`;
+- is titled `Weatherreporter $RELEASE_VERSION`;
+- uses `RELEASE_NOTE` from the tagged commit as its body;
+- contains `SHA256SUMS`; and
+- contains Linux, macOS, and Windows binaries for both `amd64` and `arm64`,
+  named `weatherreporter-$RELEASE_VERSION-<os>-<arch>` with `.exe` on Windows.
+
+Compare the remote tag with the guarded commit:
+
+```sh
+remote_commit=$(
+    git ls-remote --tags origin "refs/tags/$RELEASE_VERSION" |
+        awk 'NR == 1 { print $1 }'
+)
+test "$remote_commit" = "$RELEASE_COMMIT"
+```
+
+Download `SHA256SUMS` and every release binary into a new temporary directory,
+run `sha256sum --check SHA256SUMS`, and execute the binary for the maintainer's
+host platform with `--version`. It must print exactly:
+
+```text
+weatherreporter vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
+```
+
+## Failed Publication And Corrections
+
+If the tag pipeline fails after publication, preserve the tag and diagnose the
+failure from the pipeline logs. Fix the cause on `main`, select a new patch
+version, prepare a new release note, and repeat the complete procedure. Do not
+move or recreate the failed published tag.
+
+Do not manually edit an automatically generated Gitea release or republish its
+assets. A wording-only correction may be committed to the historical document
+on `main`, with an explicit correction note, but it does not alter the file at
+the tag or the generated release. Publish a new patch release when the error is
+material to installation, compatibility, security, or operation.

+# Weatherreporter v0.10.0
+
+Weatherreporter `v0.10.0` makes report execution stateless, adds stable
+weather-specific Promptkit profiles, and turns every successful generation
+into one atomic operator-owned Markdown output.
+
+## Summary
+
+- Ordinary generation no longer creates or depends on a managed workspace,
+  historical run artifacts, metadata, receipts, or prior snapshots.
+- `generate` and `run` now publish directly to operator-selected paths, with
+  useful current-directory defaults when output flags are omitted.
+- Local Recent Changes comparison and the historical `inspect` command family
+  have been removed.
+- Promptkit `v0.5.0` and three embedded logical profiles provide a stable model
+  ladder with complete file- or directory-based overrides.
+- Prompt input and generated-text contracts have been tightened, and output,
+  cancellation, batch preflight, notification, and partial-failure behavior
+  have focused offline coverage.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+This pre-`v1` minor release intentionally breaks CLI, configuration,
+prompt-input, action-summary, and workspace contracts from `v0.9.0`.
+
+- The `workspace:` and `recent_change:` configuration sections are no longer
+  supported. Strict configuration loading rejects them.
+- The `inspect reports`, `inspect metadata`, `inspect modules`,
+  `inspect data-package`, `inspect prior`, and `inspect sources` commands have
+  been removed. Weatherreporter no longer reads V1 or V2 run metadata or other
+  historical workspace artifacts.
+- Every successful `generate` writes exactly one Markdown file. Without
+  `--out`, Daily writes `daily-YYYY-MM-DD.md` and Today, Tomorrow, and Hourly
+  write `today.md`, `tomorrow.md`, and `hourly.md` in the invocation's current
+  directory. `--out` selects that file rather than creating an extra copy of a
+  separately managed report.
+- `run` writes selected outputs beneath the current directory unless
+  `--out-dir` selects another directory. Successful items remain available
+  when another batch item fails.
+- Action summaries no longer expose managed report, metadata, snapshot, data
+  package, prompt preparation, prompt execution, generated-text, render-context,
+  or notification-receipt paths. They retain the final `outputPath`, optional
+  `llmDebugPath`, safe effective profile/backend/model details, validation,
+  warnings, notification status, and safe errors.
+- Batch report items no longer contain per-report notification fields. Batch
+  notification is represented once at the top level. The `total`, `succeeded`,
+  and `failed` counters describe reports only, so notification failure can
+  produce a failed action while `failed` remains `0`.
+- The prompt data package advances from `weatherreporter.data_package.v3` to
+  `weatherreporter.data_package.v4` and removes `recent_changes`. All four
+  embedded prompts advance from `1.1.0` to `2.0.0`.
+- Generated-text schemas now require string-valued `precipitation_timing`; the
+  model returns an empty string when there is no timing text. The unused
+  `confidence` field has been removed and is rejected as an unknown field.
+
+Existing operator-owned Markdown files remain valid. Existing workspace trees
+are ignored rather than migrated or deleted. Distributor continues to receive
+the completed Markdown report, but its source is now the selected operator
+output rather than a managed report copy.
+
+## Upgrade
+
+Before replacing `v0.9.0`:
+
+1. Remove `workspace:` and `recent_change:` from configuration files.
+2. Give scheduled commands a predictable working directory or explicit
+   `--out` or `--out-dir` destination. Confirm that these selected files may be
+   atomically replaced on later successful runs.
+3. Remove historical `inspect` invocations and update action-summary consumers
+   to use `outputPath` and the remaining active-workflow fields.
+4. Decide whether old workspace contents have any external retention value.
+   Weatherreporter no longer reads them; after review, they may be removed
+   manually using the narrowly scoped procedure in the operations guide.
+5. Review Promptkit profile selection and credentials. Hourly defaults to
+   `weather-light`; Daily, Today, and Tomorrow default to `weather-balanced`.
+   A configured `promptkit.profile` still overrides every report in one action.
+
+The embedded logical profiles are:
+
+| Profile | OpenRouter model | Default use |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `weather-light` | `deepseek/deepseek-v4-flash` | Hourly |
+| `weather-balanced` | `~google/gemini-flash-latest` | Daily, Today, Tomorrow |
+| `weather-deep` | `~anthropic/claude-sonnet-latest` | Explicit selection |
+
+Override a complete same-ID definition through `promptkit.profile_file` or
+`promptkit.profile_dir` to use different models or a local OpenAI-compatible
+endpoint. Definitions are replaced rather than field-merged, and a malformed
+matching override fails instead of silently falling back.
+
+See the [CLI reference](../cli.md), [configuration
+reference](../config.md), [operations guide](../operations.md), and [Promptkit
+integration](../integrations/promptkit.md) for the exact current contracts.
+
+## Changes
+
+### Stateless Execution And Operator-Owned Outputs
+
+- Removed local forecast-change comparison, prior-snapshot selection, durable
+  module and prompt artifacts, managed reports, metadata compatibility, run
+  discovery, notification receipts, and the complete `internal/state`
+  subsystem.
+- Added an Accepted architecture decision recording the stateless
+  transformation pipeline and operator-owned output boundary.
+- Kept weather, facts, modules, prompt input, generated text, and render context
+  in memory during ordinary execution.
+- Made output publication atomic and ensured cancellation or deadline expiry
+  observed before publication leaves an existing destination unchanged.
+- Added complete batch-destination preflight before the first report prompt,
+  so a structural collision cannot leave an unreported partial batch.
+- Preserved successful outputs after report or Distributor failure. Batch
+  notification runs only after every selected report succeeds.
+
+### Promptkit Profiles And Prompt Contracts
+
+- Upgraded Promptkit from `v0.4.0` to `v0.5.0`.
+- Added embedded `weather-light`, `weather-balanced`, and `weather-deep`
+  profiles and mapped each exact prompt to its logical default.
+- Added embedded-profile fallback after configured `profile_file` or
+  `profile_dir` lookup, allowing operators to replace a logical profile without
+  changing report definitions.
+- Added a maintained local-endpoint example for replacing `weather-light`.
+- Advanced the four prompt definitions to `2.0.0` and the curated data package
+  to v4 after removing Recent Changes.
+- Required `precipitation_timing`, normalized whitespace-only timing to an
+  empty string, and removed the unused confidence value.
+
+### CLI, Reliability, Documentation, And Testing
+
+- Simplified action summaries to active workflow identity, output, model,
+  validation, warning, debug, notification, and safe error information.
+- Made batch counters report-only while retaining failed action status and
+  non-zero exit behavior for batch notification failure.
+- Kept prompt and profile inspection ahead of weather collection and validated
+  every batch candidate before collecting once.
+- Replaced state-oriented workflow fixtures with focused generation, batch,
+  output, cancellation, profile-resolution, Distributor, and CLI coverage.
+- Reconciled user, operator, integration, internal, policy, and ADR
+  documentation around the implemented stateless architecture and removed
+  completed temporary roadmaps.

+# Weatherreporter v0.10.1
+
+This release repairs release validation after the `v0.10.0` pipeline failed in
+its privileged build container. Application behavior is unchanged from
+`v0.10.0`.
+
+## Summary
+
+The unreadable-secret configuration test now verifies that its process is
+actually subject to file permission bits before asserting that a mode-`000`
+file cannot be read. This keeps the test meaningful for ordinary users while
+allowing the release suite to run correctly in privileged containers.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+This patch release makes no changes to Weatherreporter's CLI, configuration,
+report output, integrations, prompts, profiles, or operating behavior. It is
+fully compatible with `v0.10.0`.
+
+## Upgrade
+
+No special operator action is required. Use `v0.10.1` in place of `v0.10.0`;
+the `v0.10.0` tag remains immutable, but its failed pipeline did not publish
+release binaries.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Made the unreadable-secret test capability-aware when the test process can
+  bypass filesystem permission bits.
+- Preserved the production contract that genuinely unreadable secret files
+  fail configuration loading.
+- Restored portable release validation in Woodpecker's privileged Go
+  container.

+# Weatherreporter v0.11.0
+
+This release adds a configurable default publication directory for generated
+weather reports.
+
+## Summary
+
+Operators can now set `output.directory` once for both individual reports and
+scheduled batches. Explicit `--out` and `--out-dir` destinations continue to
+take precedence, while installations that omit the setting retain the existing
+current-directory behavior.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+This release is additive and compatible with `v0.10.1`. Existing configuration
+files, commands, report filenames, Promptkit behavior, and Distributor
+notification behavior remain valid and unchanged.
+
+## Upgrade
+
+No special action is required. To use the new default destination, configure
+`output.directory` as described in the [configuration
+reference](../config.md). Existing deployments may continue using the current
+working directory or explicit CLI output flags.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Added strict configuration loading and validation for the optional
+  `output.directory` field.
+- Applied the configured directory consistently to `generate` and `run`, with
+  explicit CLI destinations retaining highest precedence.
+- Preserved relative-path handling, absolute result paths, atomic publication,
+  cancellation safety, and Distributor notification ordering.
+- Strengthened output preflight so existing non-directory paths, uninspectable
+  paths, and dangling symlink components fail before expensive report work.
+- Updated the [CLI reference](../cli.md) and [operations
+  guide](../operations.md) for the new destination-selection behavior.

+# Weatherreporter v0.12.0
+
+This release completes a repository-wide correctness, security, efficiency,
+test-durability, and documentation audit.
+
+## Summary
+
+Weatherreporter now applies stricter validation and bounded diagnostics across
+its configuration, weather collection, Promptkit, rendering, publication,
+comparison, and Distributor boundaries. Report preparation and execution carry
+one reconciled identity, independent weather sources are collected
+concurrently, and cancellation preserves completed report and comparison
+outcomes.
+
+The release also removes obsolete compatibility surfaces and consolidates
+duplicated implementation and test policy without changing ordinary report
+commands or output identities.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+This release is compatible with `v0.11.0` for ordinary `generate`, `run`, and
+`compare` commands, configuration files, report filenames, comparison bundles,
+and Distributor integration.
+
+Sensitive prompt-debug capture through `--llm-debug-dir` is now supported only
+on Unix hosts. Non-Unix hosts reject an explicit capture request before prompt
+inspection, weather collection, or provider execution because the required
+handle-relative, no-follow filesystem guarantees are unavailable there.
+
+Several unused internal compatibility exports were removed. They were not part
+of the documented CLI, configuration, artifact, or integration contracts.
+
+## Upgrade
+
+No special action is required for ordinary installations. Operators who use
+`--llm-debug-dir` on Windows must run that diagnostic workflow on a Unix host.
+Review any automation that depended on undocumented internal Go APIs removed by
+this release.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Hardened configuration loading, source validation, secrets rollback,
+  endpoint validation, HTTP diagnostics, generated-text limits, prompt-debug
+  redaction, output publication, comparison replacement, and Distributor
+  failure reporting.
+- Reconciled inspected, prepared, callback, and completed Promptkit identity
+  and provenance before accepting generated content.
+- Preserved metric values, civil-day and daypart identity, overnight alerts,
+  precipitation semantics, and Markdown structure across deterministic report
+  preparation and rendering.
+- Collected independent Weather API sources concurrently and reused readiness
+  data while retaining deterministic normalized results.
+- Preserved completed report and comparison failures independently from shared
+  cancellation, stopped unfinished work, and skipped batch notification after
+  cancellation or partial report failure.
+- Made secure prompt-debug traversal descriptor-relative on Unix and fail
+  closed elsewhere. See the [operations
+  guide](../operations.md#optional-prompt-debug-capture).
+- Strengthened default test portability and determinism, including
+  capability-aware symbolic-link fixtures and platform-appropriate process
+  signal coverage.
+- Removed obsolete compatibility helpers, duplicated test ownership, dormant
+  persistence code, and completed audit and implementation roadmaps.
+- Updated the [architecture policy](../policy/architecture.md), [testing
+  policy](../policy/testing.md), and focused internal guides to describe the
+  implemented final state.

+
+Weatherreporter `v0.9.0` replaces its external Scriptorium execution path with
+an in-process Promptkit integration and makes prompt preparation, execution,
+validation, and failure artifacts first-class parts of each report run.
+
+## Summary
+
+- Promptkit `v0.4.0` now executes all generated text for Daily, Today,
+  Tomorrow, and Hourly reports.
+- The four exact-version prompts and their JSON Schemas are embedded in the
+  Weatherreporter binary.
+- Prompt preparation and execution have separate durable, redacted provenance
+  records, while sensitive prompt debugging is explicit and stored outside the
+  managed workspace.
+- Weather API collection now performs a warmup request and retries transient
+  transport, read, and selected HTTP failures.
+- Release binaries now report their embedded version and are published with
+  checksums through a guarded Woodpecker pipeline.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+This pre-`v1` minor release contains intentional configuration, CLI, and
+artifact changes that require review when upgrading from `v0.8.0`.
+
+- The `scriptorium:` configuration section is no longer supported. A file that
+  contains it fails with a migration error instead of silently ignoring it.
+  Use `promptkit:` configuration instead.
+- The previously exposed but unfinished three-day, weekend, and storm report
+  surfaces have been removed. Supported report IDs and `generate` commands are
+  `daily`, `today`, `tomorrow`, and `hourly`. The retired `storm_id`
+  Distributor template variable is also no longer accepted.
+- Generate and batch result items now expose `preparationPath` and
+  `executionPath` instead of the Scriptorium-oriented `preflightPath` and
+  `generatedTextResultPath`. An opt-in prompt capture may also add
+  `llmDebugPath`.
+- New runs write `weatherreporter.metadata.v2`, which records Promptkit
+  preparation and execution paths. Inspection and prior-run lookup continue to
+  read existing `weatherreporter.metadata.v1` records.
+- The built-in `weather_api.precision` default changed from `1` to `0`.
+  Configurations that explicitly set a value retain that value.
+- Report prose may differ because the embedded prompt corpus, structured
+  output path, alert presentation, and SPC background context have changed.
+
+The documented Go version remains 1.26. Distributor integration remains at
+`v0.5.0`. Existing managed workspaces do not require conversion.
+
+## Upgrade
+
+Replace the old Scriptorium block in the Weatherreporter configuration. The
+smallest equivalent Promptkit block is:
+
+```yaml
+promptkit:
+  timeout: 2m
+```
+
+The embedded prompts default to the Promptkit `gemini-flash-latest` profile.
+Ensure that the selected profile's credential environment variable is present,
+or configure `promptkit.profile`, an external `profile_file` or `profile_dir`,
+or the optional `promptkit.local` backend. Direct per-request API keys are not
+supported by Weatherreporter.
+
+Before upgrading automation or downstream processing:
+
+1. remove any `three-day`, `weekend`, or `storm` command, report override, and
+   `storm_id` template usage;
+2. update consumers of action-summary JSON to use the new preparation and
+   execution path fields;
+3. decide whether to retain the new precision default or explicitly configure
+   the previous value; and
+4. preserve the existing workspace if historical V1 runs must remain
+   inspectable.
+
+Scriptorium, its executable configuration, and its external prompt corpus are
+no longer needed by Weatherreporter. See the
+[configuration reference](../config.md), [CLI reference](../cli.md), and
+[Promptkit integration](../integrations/promptkit.md) for the current
+contracts.
+
+## Changes
+
+### Prompt Execution And Artifacts
+
+- Added a project-owned Promptkit adapter with exact prompt and profile
+  inspection, prepare-once execution, error classification, and bounded
+  execution timeouts.
+- Embedded version `1.0.0` of the Daily, Today, Tomorrow, and Hourly prompts and
+  their private generated-text schemas.
+- Added durable preparation and execution receipts with prompt, profile,
+  backend, model, hashes, timings, validation status, classified failures, and
+  paths to every artifact reached during the run. Credentials, endpoints,
+  rendered messages, request parameters, and generated content are excluded
+  from these managed records.
+- Added `--llm-debug-dir` for explicitly requested content-rich diagnostics.
+  Debug output must use an absolute path outside the managed workspace and is
+  written with restrictive filesystem permissions.
+- Preflight now validates each exact prompt and selected profile before weather
+  collection. Batch execution validates every candidate first, collects once,
+  and retains independent report progress and failure artifacts.
+
+See the [operations guide](../operations.md) for artifact layout, inspection,
+debug handling, and recovery.
+
+### Weather Collection And Report Content
+
+- Added a `/conditions/current` warmup before source collection and automatic
+  retry for transient transport and response-read failures and HTTP `408`,
+  `429`, `500`, `502`, `503`, and `504` responses.
+- Changed the default upstream precision query value to `0`.
+- Added embedded background definitions for recognized SPC categorical,
+  tornado, wind, and hail outlook products.
+- Made the Alert Digest more concise: alert descriptions are omitted, and an
+  SPC-only digest is rendered only for Enhanced, Moderate, or High categorical
+  risk.
+- Removed duplicated alert detail from the prompt-facing metadata module; the
+  alert digest remains its single prompt-facing owner.
+
+See the [Weather API integration](../integrations/weatherapi.md) for the request,
+retry, and response contract.
+
+### CLI, Documentation, Testing, And Releases
+
+- Added `weatherreporter --version`; tagged binaries report `v0.9.0`, while
+  ordinary local builds report `development`.
+- Reworked CLI summaries and inspection coverage around the Promptkit artifact
+  lifecycle and retained partial-result behavior.
+- Reorganized contributor, policy, user, operator, integration, template, and
+  internal documentation around explicit canonical owners.
+- Added focused single-report, batch, CLI, Promptkit adapter, durable-state,
+  and artifact-path coverage while simplifying orchestration internals.
+- Added guarded tag validation and reproducible release builds for Linux,
+  macOS, and Windows on `amd64` and `arm64`, with SHA-256 checksums and
+  changelog-backed Gitea releases.

-# Distributor Report Paths Roadmap
-
-## Purpose
-
-This roadmap defines the target behavior for naming Markdown reports inside
-distributor source bundles.
-
-Weatherreporter currently uses one application-level
-`notify.distributor.report_path_templates` list for every report type. That
-model is too coarse for the intended output layout because different reports
-need different archive paths, latest paths, and report-specific aliases.
-
-## Locked Decisions
-
-- Remove `notify.distributor.report_path_templates`; do not keep a legacy
-  fallback or compatibility alias.
-- Report definitions own canonical distributor output path templates.
-- Configuration may override distributor output path templates per report.
-- The app layer resolves report-specific distributor bundle paths before
-  calling the distributor adapter.
-- The distributor adapter continues to receive explicit source-to-bundle file
-  mappings and does not choose report types, render templates, scan
-  workspaces, or apply report routing policy.
-- Managed Markdown report files remain the only distributor upload sources.
-  Optional local output copies are not uploaded.
-- Batch distributor uploads, when enabled, use the same report-specific bundle
-  path resolver for each included report.
-- Non-roadmap documentation must not describe this behavior until it is
-  implemented.
-
-## Target Configuration Model
-
-The global path template list is removed from `notify.distributor`:
-
-```yaml
-notify:
-  distributor:
-    enabled: false
-    endpoint: https://distributor.example.com
-    token_env: DISTRIBUTOR_UPLOAD_TOKEN
-    timeout: 30s
-    failure_policy: error
-    pipeline_id_template: "weatherreporter.{report_id}"
-    bundle_id_template: "weatherreporter.{location_id}.{report_id}"
-    idempotency_key_template: "{bundle_id}.{run_id}"
-```
-
-Per-report overrides live under `reports.<report>.distributor`:
-
-```yaml
-reports:
-  daily:
-    distributor:
-      path_templates:
-        - "daily/{valid_start_date}/{run_id}.md"
-        - "daily/{valid_start_date}/index.md"
-```
-
-If a report override is omitted, weatherreporter uses the defaults declared by
-that report definition.
-
-## Default Report Paths
-
-Each generated report maps its managed Markdown source file to one or more
-bundle-relative distributor paths.
-
-| Report | Default distributor paths |
-| --- | --- |
-| `hourly` | `hourly/index.md` |
-| `daily` | `daily/{valid_start_date}/{run_id}.md`; `daily/{valid_start_date}/index.md` |
-| `today` | `daily/{valid_start_date}/{run_id}.md`; `daily/{valid_start_date}/index.md`; `today/index.md` |
-| `tomorrow` | `daily/{valid_start_date}/{run_id}.md`; `daily/{valid_start_date}/index.md`; `tomorrow/index.md` |
-| `three_day` | `three-day/{valid_start_date}/{run_id}.md`; `three-day/{valid_start_date}/index.md` |
-| `weekend` | `weekend/{valid_start_date}/{run_id}.md`; `weekend/{valid_start_date}/index.md` |
-| `storm` | `storm/{storm_id}/{run_id}.md`; `storm/{storm_id}/index.md` |
-
-`storm_id` is derived from the resolved storm valid period until a future
-explicit storm identity source exists.
-
-## Template Values
-
-Report path templates keep the existing report template values:
-
-- `location_id`
-- `report_id`
-- `run_id`
-- `artifact_group`
-- `batch_output_name`
-- `valid_start_date`
-- `valid_end_date`
-- `valid_start_time`
-- `valid_end_time`
-- `valid_start_stamp`
-- `valid_end_stamp`
-- `storm_id`
-
-The initial `storm_id` value is `{valid_start_stamp}-{valid_end_stamp}` in the
-effective report timezone. It is available for all single-report distributor
-templates, but it renders as an empty value for non-storm reports.
-
-Rendered paths must stay unique relative paths using `/` separators. They must
-not contain backslashes, empty path segments, `.`, `..`, `manifest.json`, or
-`.distributor.json`.
-
-## Intended Final State
-
-`internal/report.Definition` declares distributor path defaults alongside the
-other report-owned behavior such as report ID, prompt ID, valid-period
-resolution, module composition, comparison strategy, artifact group, and output
-name.
-
-`internal/config` owns per-report override loading and validation. Unknown
-fields under report config continue to fail validation or YAML unmarshalling.
-
-`internal/app` resolves bundle paths through one helper used by both
-single-report notification and batch notification. That helper applies this
-precedence:
-
-1. `reports.<report>.distributor.path_templates`, when explicitly configured.
-2. `report.Definition` distributor path defaults.
-
-There is no third global fallback.
-
-The distributor adapter API remains unchanged unless a separate adapter concern
-requires it. It should still upload the explicit file mappings passed by the
-app layer.

 # Future Roadmap
 
-This roadmap contains project work that is not implemented. Current behavior is
-documented outside `docs/roadmap/`.
+This roadmap contains future work only. Each section identifies its planning
+status; current behavior is documented outside `docs/roadmap/`.
+
+## Upstream Forecast Change Product
+
+Status: Proposed upstream feature request; unimplemented.
+
+Weatherreporter's local Recent Changes feature was removed by the accepted
+[stateless execution decision](../adr/0001-stateless-execution.md). Forecast
+version history and comparison are better owned by the Weather API, where the
+underlying forecast issuances can be retained and compared consistently for
+all consumers.
+
+A future Weather API feature should expose a structured change product with:
+
+- explicit current and baseline forecast issuance timestamps or identifiers;
+- documented baseline selection, such as a requested comparison timestamp,
+  preceding issuance, or fixed rolling period;
+- location, timezone, and half-open valid-period identity;
+- typed changed values with previous and current values and units;
+- stable change categories for temperature, precipitation probability and
+  timing, wind gusts, alerts, and aggregate hazards;
+- an API-owned significance classification or enough structured information
+  for a stateless consumer to apply a documented presentation threshold; and
+- deterministic ordering, missing-baseline behavior, and source metadata.
+
+The API should compare forecast versions, not track a Weatherreporter client's
+"previous run." It should not require consumer identity, mutable cursors, or
+Weatherreporter-managed history. A missing baseline should be a normal empty
+result rather than an error.
+
+Once a stable upstream contract exists, a separate Weatherreporter roadmap may
+reintroduce change commentary by collecting that product and mapping it into a
+curated prompt-facing module. There must be no local snapshot fallback. The
+ordinary Weatherreporter process must remain stateless, and the upstream
+feature should have deterministic fixtures before adoption.

-# Distributor Paths Implementation Plan
+# PromptKit v0.8.0 Upgrade Implementation Plan
 
-## Purpose
+Status: Complete.
 
-This document is the staged implementation plan for
-[distributor-paths.md](distributor-paths.md). It is written for an LLM coding
-agent that will implement the feature in order.
+Completion note: Stages 1–9 upgraded PromptKit, adopted inherited profiles and
+current credential handling, added repair and provider-failure contracts,
+enabled one corrective generation for v2.1.0 prompts, exposed repair
+provenance in ordinary and comparison results, migrated comparison bundles to
+v2, and added secure failure-debug capture.
 
-The feature is complete only when `notify.distributor.report_path_templates` is
-removed, report definitions provide distributor path defaults, per-report
-config overrides work, and single-report plus batch distributor notifications
-resolve bundle paths through the same report-aware code path.
+## Purpose And Authority
 
-## Ground Rules
+This plan translates the accepted
+[PromptKit v0.8.0 upgrade roadmap](promptkit-v0.8.0.md) into an ordered,
+decision-complete implementation procedure. The feature roadmap owns purpose,
+scope, policy, and the desired end state. This document owns implementation
+order, concrete work allocation, stage boundaries, and verification until the
+upgrade is complete.
 
-- Review `docs/policy/architecture.md`, `docs/policy/development.md`, and
-  `docs/policy/documentation.md` before editing code.
-- Keep distributor package types confined to `internal/adapters/distributor`.
-- Do not add a compatibility fallback for
-  `notify.distributor.report_path_templates`.
-- Do not upload optional `--out` or `--out-dir` copies to distributor.
-- Keep all non-roadmap documentation changes in the stage that implements the
-  behavior being documented.
-- Prefer small helpers in existing packages over a new package unless a clear
-  boundary emerges during implementation.
+The implementing agent must complete the stages in numerical order. Each stage
+is sized for one focused prompt handled by `gpt-5.6-terra` with high reasoning.
+Do not combine stages merely because adjacent work touches the same package.
 
-## Decisions Applied
+## Locked Decisions
 
-- Per-report override key: use
-  `reports.<report>.distributor.path_templates`.
-- `three_day` and `weekend` get defaults now:
-  `three-day/{valid_start_date}/{run_id}.md`,
-  `three-day/{valid_start_date}/index.md`,
-  `weekend/{valid_start_date}/{run_id}.md`, and
-  `weekend/{valid_start_date}/index.md`.
-- Initial `storm_id`: derive from the resolved valid period as
-  `{valid_start_stamp}-{valid_end_stamp}` in the effective report timezone.
-  This avoids adding new CLI or upstream API requirements while still producing
-  stable storm paths for the same storm window.
-- Allow `storm_id` in all single-report distributor templates. It renders empty
-  for non-storm reports.
+The following decisions are final for this implementation:
 
-## Stage 1: Report Defaults
+- upgrade directly from PromptKit `v0.5.0` to `v0.8.0`;
+- declare one corrective call in each embedded prompt through
+  `repair_attempts: 1` rather than adding WeatherReporter repair logic;
+- keep the repair budget in the exact embedded prompt definition and add no
+  global, per-report, CLI, profile, or operator configuration override;
+- advance all four exact prompt versions from `2.0.0` to `2.1.0`;
+- make `weather-light`, `weather-balanced`, and `weather-deep` minimal aliases
+  of the corresponding PromptKit built-ins through `base_profile`;
+- retain the existing report-to-profile assignments and effective model
+  ladder;
+- allow successfully inspected endpoint-only profiles to have an empty backend
+  ID while continuing to require a nonblank model;
+- treat `APIKeyEnv` as an optional lookup source and reject only profiles that
+  report `APIKeyRequired`, because WeatherReporter supplies no direct request
+  credential;
+- support PromptKit's built-in `rakestrawhome-gemma-4-31b` profile without
+  WeatherReporter-specific backend configuration;
+- expose provider HTTP status through a project-owned safe generation error,
+  while writing provider code, type, and message only to explicit secure debug
+  capture;
+- emit only `weatherreporter.comparison.v2`, with repair provenance, and do not
+  preserve v1 guarded-replacement support; and
+- retain PromptKit dependency types inside the adapter and preserve all
+  stateless execution, atomic publication, comparison independence, and
+  disclosure invariants.
 
-Goal: make distributor path defaults part of report definitions without
-changing runtime behavior yet.
+## Implementation Rules
 
-Code changes:
+For every stage:
 
-- Add `DistributorPathTemplates []string` to `internal/report.Definition`.
-- Populate defaults in every generated report definition:
-  `daily`, `today`, `tomorrow`, `hourly`, `three_day`, `weekend`, and `storm`.
-- Ensure registry cloning preserves `DistributorPathTemplates` when module
-  overrides are applied.
-- Keep this field report-owned; do not reference distributor adapter types from
-  `internal/report`.
+- read `docs/development.md`, all files under `docs/policy/`, this plan, the
+  feature roadmap, and the task-specific documents named by the stage;
+- inspect the current code and tests before editing; use the repository's code
+  knowledge graph first for code discovery and fall back to text search for
+  literals, assets, and documentation;
+- implement only the stage's scope and preserve unrelated user changes;
+- keep PromptKit/provider types, client construction, YAML parsing, repair
+  mechanics, and provider transport inside the existing adapter boundary;
+- use deterministic, offline, credential-free tests and injected clients or
+  synthetic fixtures rather than live OpenRouter, Rakestrawhome, or local
+  endpoint calls;
+- add tests at the narrowest stable owner identified by the testing policy and
+  avoid copying PromptKit's internal test matrices;
+- update the canonical documentation owners listed for that stage in the same
+  change as the implemented contract;
+- run `gofmt` on changed Go files, the stage's focused tests,
+  `GOWORK=off go test -count=1 ./...`, and `git diff --check`; and
+- leave the repository passing before proceeding to the next stage.
 
-Tests:
+Stages affecting concurrent comparison, cancellation, or secure debug
+filesystem work must also run the named focused packages with `-race`. Do not
+weaken an existing assertion solely to accommodate the new dependency. When a
+test encodes an intentionally changed contract, replace it with a behavioral
+assertion for the accepted policy.
 
-- Add focused report tests that every generated report has at least one
-  distributor path template.
-- Add table coverage for the exact default templates listed in
-  `docs/roadmap/distributor-paths.md`.

+### Stage 1: Upgrade The Dependency And Establish A v0.8.0 Baseline
+
+Status: Complete.
+
+Purpose: move to the tagged dependency and isolate compatibility changes before
+adopting new WeatherReporter behavior.
+
+Work:
+
+1. Update `go.mod` to require
+   `gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/promptkit v0.8.0` and refresh `go.sum` with
+   `GOWORK=off go mod tidy`. Do not add `go.work`, `vendor`, or a `replace`
+   directive and do not change WeatherReporter's Go version.
+2. Resolve any compile failures using PromptKit's public root package only.
+   Keep all `Profile` and `OpenAICompatibleProfileConfig` literals keyed. Do not
+   register the now-reserved `rakestrawhome` backend.
+3. Reconcile adapter tests that directly exercise PromptKit's changed optional
+   credential behavior. A profile whose only credential metadata is
+   `api_key_env` must reach an injected client when the environment value is
+   absent; it must no longer expect PromptKit to return
+   `ErrAPIKeyEnvMissing`. Do not change WeatherReporter's application preflight
+   in this stage.
+4. Verify that every current embedded prompt, content file, schema, and fallback
+   profile inspects under v0.8.0. Verify selected invalid local endpoints and
+   malformed selected profile definitions still map to project-owned
+   configuration or profile-load categories.
+5. Review the v0.6.0 compatibility corrections against supported
+   WeatherReporter inputs: metadata-authoritative identities, exact contained
+   `content_file` paths, regular embedded files, structurally valid endpoints,
+   bounded JSON-compatible values, cancellation identity, and strict response
+   framing. Add consumer tests only for a WeatherReporter boundary not already
+   protected by PromptKit.
+
+Do not enable profile inheritance or output repair yet. The expected result is
+the current WeatherReporter feature set running against PromptKit v0.8.0.
+
+Focused verification:

+```sh
+GOWORK=off go test -count=1 ./internal/adapters/promptkit ./internal/promptassets
+GOWORK=off go test -race -count=1 ./internal/adapters/promptkit

-## Stage 2: Config Override Model
+Purpose: adopt v0.7.0 profile composition, endpoint-only routing, optional

-the existing runtime path until the app layer is switched in Stage 3.
+Work:
 
-Code changes:
+1. Replace the three embedded profile bodies with these exact leaf/base
+   relationships and no duplicated execution settings:
 
-- Add `ReportDistributorConfig` under `internal/config`.
-- Add `Distributor ReportDistributorConfig` to `ReportConfig`.
-- Support only this YAML shape:
+   | Leaf | Base |
+   | --- | --- |

-```yaml
-reports:
-  daily:
-    distributor:
-      path_templates:
-        - "daily/{valid_start_date}/{run_id}.md"
+2. Update prompt-asset fixtures and tests to understand `base_profile`. Assert
+   that all three leaf IDs remain selected identities and resolve to the same
+   backend, model, timeout, service tier, and reasoning settings exposed by the
+   current standalone definitions. Test relationships and effective behavior,
+   not copied private constants beyond the intentional model-ladder contract.
+3. Preserve source precedence. Cover a standalone same-ID operator override, a
+   derived operator override, a configured source that shadows a base ID, and
+   selected missing-base, cyclic, malformed-base, and incomplete-target
+   failures. Do not implement inheritance or merging in WeatherReporter; all
+   resolution must remain PromptKit-owned.
+4. Change application profile preflight to accept a successful inspection with
+   a nonblank model and an empty backend ID. Trust PromptKit inspection to have
+   resolved either a backend or endpoint; do not add the endpoint to
+   `promptexec.ProfileInspection` or ordinary provenance.
+5. Remove application-level environment lookup and rejection for a nonblank
+   `APIKeyEnv`. Remove the now-unused `LookupEnv` fields and plumbing from
+   prompt, batch, and comparison inspection requests. Continue rejecting
+   `CredentialRequired`/`APIKeyRequired` before weather collection with the
+   existing missing-credential category.
+6. Add an end-to-end offline regression proving the maintained endpoint-only
+   `weather-light` example passes application inspection, retains an empty
+   backend ID, and does not expose its endpoint.
+7. Prove `rakestrawhome-gemma-4-31b` can pass ordinary and comparison profile
+   inspection through the existing adapter and reports the PromptKit
+   `rakestrawhome` backend ID. Do not make a provider call or add
+   Rakestrawhome-specific configuration.
+
+Canonical documentation in this stage:
+
+- update `docs/policy/architecture.md` so only direct-key-required profiles
+  fail credential preflight and backend identity is optional for endpoint-only
+  profiles;
+- update `docs/config.md` to distinguish same-ID source replacement from
+  `base_profile` chain inheritance and to describe optional environment
+  credentials;
+- update `docs/integrations/promptkit.md` for profile composition, parent
+  lookup precedence, endpoint-only identity, optional credentials, and
+  Rakestrawhome availability; and
+- update `docs/internal/promptkit-adapter.md` and focused app internals for the
+  implemented inspection behavior.

-- Track whether `path_templates` was explicitly set so omitted overrides can
-  fall back to report definition defaults.
-- Reject unknown fields under both `reports.<report>` and
-  `reports.<report>.distributor`.
-- Add a config helper that returns normalized overrides by `report.ID`, reusing
-  `report.IDForConfigKey` and duplicate report-key detection.
-- Validate configured path templates with the same parser and path safety rules
-  used for rendered distributor paths.
+### Stage 3: Extend The Project-Owned Prompt Execution Contract
 
-Tests:
+Status: Complete.
 
-- Add config load/unmarshal tests for per-report distributor overrides.
-- Add validation tests for unknown fields, duplicate report aliases, unknown
-  template variables, absolute paths, `..`, `manifest.json`, duplicate rendered
-  paths inside one report override, and an explicitly empty override list.
-- Run:
+Purpose: establish dependency-neutral repair and structured-generation-error
+values before the adapter or application relies on them.
 
-```bash
-go test ./internal/config
+Work:
+
+1. Add `RepairAttempts int` to `promptexec.OutputContract`. It is the configured
+   additional-call budget from the exact prompt contract.
+2. Add `RepairAttempts int` to `promptexec.Validation`. It is the number of
+   corrective calls actually started for the completed result. Update
+   `NewValidation` and every caller so construction is explicit; reject or
+   normalize no values here because PromptKit owns output-contract validity.
+3. Update all copy helpers, equality/provenance helpers, fixtures, and tests so
+   repair values are retained without sharing mutable state.
+4. Add a project-owned immutable `promptexec.GenerationError` with unexported
+   status and provider-detail fields plus safe accessors:
+
+   - `StatusCode() int`
+   - `ProviderCode() string`
+   - `ProviderType() string`
+   - `ProviderMessage() string`
+   - `Category() ErrorCategory`, always returning `Generation`
+   - `Error()`, exposing only the WeatherReporter generation category/message
+     and optional HTTP status
+   - `GoString()`, returning the same safe representation
+   - `Unwrap()`, preserving a project-owned `*promptexec.Error`
+
+5. Provide one constructor used by adapters. Defensively normalize valid UTF-8
+   and bound code/type to 256 Unicode code points and message to 4,096 Unicode
+   code points, even though PromptKit already bounds its accessors. Do not
+   expose fields through struct formatting, JSON tags, or exported mutable
+   fields. Preserve the dependency cause only behind the project-owned error so
+   `errors.Is`/`errors.As` identities remain available without entering error
+   text.
+6. Add focused tests proving nil/zero safety, category and unwrap behavior,
+   status-only ordinary formatting, `%#v` redaction, provider-detail bounds,
+   and repair-value copying.
+
+Do not import PromptKit from `internal/promptexec` and do not change CLI or
+artifact schemas in this stage.

+### Stage 4: Map PromptKit v0.8.0 Repair And Generation Errors In The Adapter
 
-- Config can express per-report distributor path overrides.
-- Omitted overrides are distinguishable from explicit empty lists.
-- No runtime notification path selection has been switched yet.
+Status: Complete.
 
-## Stage 3: Template Rendering
+Purpose: make the adapter faithfully translate v0.8.0 preparation, execution,
+validation, usage, and failure values into the Stage 3 contract.
 
-Goal: generalize distributor template rendering so it no longer hardcodes the
-old global config field name and can render `storm_id`.
+Work:
 
-Code changes:
+1. Map `promptkit.OutputContract.RepairAttempts` in prompt inspection and
+   prepared-execution details. Map
+   `promptkit.ValidationResult.RepairAttempts` in completed execution.
+2. Preserve PromptKit's cumulative usage exactly as reported across the initial
+   call and every completed correction. Continue returning only the final raw
+   candidate and final validation result, subject to WeatherReporter's 64 KiB
+   generated-output bound.
+3. In adapter error classification, retain cancellation, deadline, and capacity
+   precedence. Before the generic `ErrLLMGenerate` branch, use `errors.As` for
+   `*promptkit.GenerationError` and construct the project-owned
+   `promptexec.GenerationError` with status, code, type, message, and hidden
+   cause. Initial and corrective generation failures use the same mapping.
+4. Extend the injected adapter client used by tests so it can return an ordered
+   sequence of responses or errors and record each request safely.
+5. Use a synthetic PromptKit prompt with JSON Schema validation and
+   `repair_attempts: 1` to cover:
 
-- Add `StormID string` to `config.DistributorTemplateValues`.
-- Add `storm_id` to the allowed variables for single-report distributor
-  templates.
-- Derive `StormID` in the app-layer template-value builder as
-  `{valid_start_stamp}-{valid_end_stamp}` for `report.Storm`; leave it empty
-  for other reports.
-- Replace hardcoded error names such as
-  `notify.distributor.report_path_templates[0]` with caller-provided names such
-  as `reports.daily.distributor.path_templates[0]` or
-  `report.daily.distributor_path_templates[0]`.
-- Keep rendered path validation in `internal/config` unless the implementation
-  reveals a cleaner existing boundary.
+   - first-pass valid output with zero corrections;
+   - explicitly empty or invalid output followed by valid corrected output;
+   - one-attempt exhaustion returning a final failed validation result rather
+     than an operational error;
+   - a non-2xx-style `GenerationError` during correction;
+   - cumulative token usage and actual repair count; and
+   - the same prepared prompt/profile identity across the corrective flow.
 
-Tests:
+6. Keep these tests at the adapter boundary. Do not assert PromptKit's private
+   corrective-message wording or reconstruct its internal repair algorithm.
 
-- Add rendering tests for `storm_id`.
-- Update existing rendering tests so error messages reference the new caller
-  names rather than the removed global config field.
-- Confirm duplicate path detection still reports the duplicate path.
-- Run:

-- Rendering supports all variables in the feature roadmap.

+Status: Complete.
 
-## Stage 4: App Notification Path Resolver
+Purpose: make application orchestration understand configured and actual repair
+counts before changing the embedded prompt policy.
 
-Goal: switch single-report and batch distributor notification to the
-report-specific path resolver.
+Work:
 
-Code changes:
+1. Add an expected generated-text repair budget to `report.Definition` and set
+   it explicitly to zero for all four current `2.0.0` definitions in this
+   stage. Include it in report-definition validation and retained contract
+   tests.
+2. Extend exact prompt preflight so format, validation mode, schema path, and
+   repair budget must all match the resolved report definition. Extend
+   preparation and completion provenance checks to require the same repair
+   budget across inspection and the opaque prepared snapshot.
+3. Add `RepairAttempts *int` to application outcomes where execution may fail
+   before validation exists. Set it to a fresh pointer immediately after a
+   non-nil completed execution is returned, before WeatherReporter's secondary
+   generated-text validation. A pointer is required so completed first-pass
+   zero is distinguishable from unavailable provenance.
+4. Carry independent copies through `ReportResult`, `BatchReportResult`, batch
+   conversion, comparison execution's internal outcome, and relevant test
+   fakes. Do not expose the new value in CLI or comparison JSON yet.
+5. Preserve the actual count on PromptKit validation rejection and on later
+   WeatherReporter generated-text or render failures. Leave it unavailable on
+   preparation, capacity, cancellation, deadline, and generation errors that
+   return no completed PromptKit result.
+6. Add focused tests for provenance mismatch, completed zero, completed
+   positive, validation rejection, later local validation failure, early
+   operational failure, batch copying, and independent concurrent profile
+   outcomes.
 
-- Add one app-layer helper used by both `buildNotificationRequest` and
-  `buildBatchNotificationRequest`.
-- Helper precedence:
-  1. explicit `reports.<report>.distributor.path_templates`;
-  2. `resolved.Definition.DistributorPathTemplates`.
-- Return an actionable error if a report has neither an override nor defaults.
-- Preserve existing single-report identity rendering for `pipeline_id_template`,
-  `bundle_id_template`, and `idempotency_key_template`.
-- Preserve existing batch identity rendering under `notify.distributor.batch`.
-- Preserve batch duplicate detection across all rendered bundle paths before
-  calling distributor.
-- Ensure errors include report ID, RunID, source path where available, and the
-  rendered bundle path when relevant.
+Canonical documentation in this stage: update the focused prepared-report and
+app-orchestration internals to describe configured versus actual repair
+provenance. Current public documents should continue to report the embedded
+budget as zero until Stage 6.
 
-Tests:
+Focused verification:
 
-- Update single-report notification tests for default paths:
-  `hourly`, `daily`, `today`, `tomorrow`, `three_day`, `weekend`, and `storm`
-  where storm generation is currently testable.
-- Add per-report override precedence tests.
-- Add batch tests proving each included report uses its own defaults or
-  overrides.
-- Keep or add a batch duplicate-path test. The current planned batches avoid
-  `today`/`tomorrow` collisions with future dated `daily` reports, but the
-  collision guard must remain explicit for future batch changes.
-- Confirm notification source paths are still managed Markdown report paths,
-  not output copies.

-- Distributor upload requests contain report-specific bundle paths.
-- Single-report and batch notifications use the same path resolution rules.
-- No distributor adapter API change is required.
+Status: Complete.
 
-## Stage 5: Remove The Legacy Global Field
+Purpose: switch the operational prompts to the accepted one-correction policy
+and make ordinary generate/run/batch output report what occurred.
 
-Goal: hard-remove `notify.distributor.report_path_templates` from the codebase.
+Work:
 
-Code changes:
+1. Add `repair_attempts: 1` to the output contract of all four embedded prompt
+   definitions and change each exact prompt version from `2.0.0` to `2.1.0`.
+   Do not change prompt text or generated-text schemas solely for this upgrade.
+2. Change all four report registry definitions to exact prompt version `2.1.0`
+   and expected repair budget one. Update exact-version fixtures and assertions
+   throughout adapter, app, CLI, report, and prompt-asset tests. Remove tests
+   that classify `repair_attempts` as a retired setting and replace them with
+   an exact one-attempt contract assertion.
+3. Add `repairAttempts` to successful and failed generate and batch JSON result
+   shapes through the Stage 5 pointers. Emit integer zero for a completed
+   first-pass result, a positive integer for a completed repaired result, and
+   omit the field when no completed validation made it available.
+4. Keep the existing `validationStatus` and failure categories authoritative.
+   A repaired valid result proceeds normally. Repair exhaustion remains
+   `validation_rejected`, publishes no report for that profile, and retains the
+   actual attempt count.
+5. Add representative offline assembled tests proving first-pass success,
+   repaired success, exhaustion, explicit empty initial content, and batch
+   result propagation. Reuse the real PromptKit adapter with an injected
+   sequence client for at least one end-to-end repaired execution; use the
+   existing app fake at other boundaries where lower-level repair is already
+   covered.
+6. Confirm no application loop, provider retry, profile fallback, or
+   request-level `OutputContract` override was introduced.
 
-- Remove `ReportPathTemplates` from `DistributorNotifyConfig`.
-- Remove its default from `internal/config/defaults.go`.
-- Remove validation that requires or renders the global field.
-- Add or update `DistributorNotifyConfig.UnmarshalYAML` so unknown fields in
-  `notify.distributor` fail during config parsing. This must explicitly reject
-  the removed `report_path_templates` key instead of silently ignoring it.
-- Update or remove tests that asserted the old global default.
-- Search for and remove remaining code references:

+### Stage 7: Migrate Comparison Bundles To v2
 
-- Add or update config tests proving the global field is no longer accepted.
-- Run:
+Status: Complete.
 
-```bash
-go test ./internal/config ./internal/app
+Purpose: preserve repair activity in the profile-evaluation artifact and make
+the strict durable schema change explicit.
+
+Work:
+
+1. Change `comparison.SchemaVersion` to
+   `weatherreporter.comparison.v2`. Emit and recognize v2 only; do not retain a
+   v1 parser or guarded-replacement compatibility path.
+2. Add `RepairAttempts *int` to each application comparison profile result,
+   CLI comparison profile summary, and durable `comparison.Result`. Propagate a
+   fresh copy from Stage 5's execution outcome.
+3. Place `repairAttempts` immediately after `validationStatus` in the canonical
+   result-object JSON field order. Encode zero for completed first-pass
+   validation, a positive integer for completed correction, and omit it only
+   when no completed validation exists.
+4. Tighten manifest invariants: every non-nil repair count is non-negative; a
+   successful result must have `validationStatus: "passed"` and a non-nil
+   repair count; a failed result with a completed validation status must also
+   have a non-nil count; and an early operational failure may omit both.
+5. Update the strict token-level JSON recognizer to accept only the canonical
+   `repairAttempts` field at its correct object level, reject duplicate,
+   unknown, negative, fractional, string, overflow, and malformed values, and
+   continue rejecting v1 as an unsupported current bundle.
+6. Update manifest construction, cloning, validation, exact serialization
+   tests, guarded replacement tests, malicious bundle tests, partial-success
+   tests, and CLI comparison summaries. Preserve flat layout, result ordering,
+   hashes, atomic publication, cancellation safety, and no Distributor calls.
+7. Cover concurrent peers where one succeeds first-pass, one repairs, one
+   exhausts, and one fails operationally. The counts must remain attached to
+   the selected profile positions without races or cross-contamination.
+

-- The legacy global path field is gone from structs, defaults, validation,
-  examples, docs, and tests.
-- There is no compatibility fallback.
+Status: Complete.
 
-## Stage 6: Documentation And Examples
+Purpose: expose useful PromptKit v0.7.0 provider diagnostics only through the
+existing explicit secure debug boundary while keeping ordinary errors safe.
 
-Goal: move implemented behavior from roadmap-only docs into maintained user and
-internal docs.
+Work:
 
-Documentation changes:
+1. Extend prompt preparation debug output with configured
+   `repairAttempts` and advance its schema identifier from
+   `weatherreporter.prompt_preparation_debug.v2` to
+   `weatherreporter.prompt_preparation_debug.v3`.
+2. Extend execution validation debug output with actual `repairAttempts` and
+   advance its schema identifier from
+   `weatherreporter.prompt_execution_debug.v2` to
+   `weatherreporter.prompt_execution_debug.v3`. Retain cumulative token usage.
+3. Add a dedicated `failure.json` artifact with schema identifier
+   `weatherreporter.prompt_failure_debug.v1`. Its canonical fields are:
 
-- Update `docs/config.md`:
-  - remove `notify.distributor.report_path_templates`;
-  - document `reports.<report>.distributor.path_templates`;
-  - document default path behavior and template variables;
-  - document `storm_id` derivation.
-- Update `docs/internal/distributor-adapter.md` so it says the app layer
-  resolves report-specific path templates before calling the adapter.
-- Update `examples/config.yml` to remove the old global field and optionally
-  include one concise per-report override example if useful.
-- Do not add unimplemented behavior outside `docs/roadmap/`.
+   - top level: `schemaVersion`, `reportId`, `validDate`, `runId`, `failure`;
+   - failure object: `category`, `statusCode`, `providerCode`, `providerType`,
+     `providerMessage`;
+   - omit absent provider fields and zero status; and
+   - never include the raw provider body, headers, endpoint, credentials,
+     request, schema, rendered prompt, or generated candidate.
 
-Tests and checks:
+4. Add `PromptDebugWriter.WriteFailure` using the existing handle-relative
+   secure run directory, `0700` directory and `0600` file modes, canonical JSON
+   encoding, and no-follow/atomic replacement behavior. Disabled writers must
+   perform no filesystem work.
+5. When execution returns an error, use `errors.As` only against the
+   project-owned `*promptexec.GenerationError`. If explicit debug capture is
+   enabled, write `failure.json` using that profile's existing debug reference.
+   This applies equally to initial and corrective provider failures and keeps
+   comparison profile directories isolated.
+6. If failure-debug writing also fails, retain the generation failure as the
+   primary categorized error and join the safe debug-write failure rather than
+   replacing or hiding the provider failure. Never place provider code, type,
+   or message in the joined error text.
+7. Ordinary generate, batch, and comparison errors should gain only the safe
+   HTTP status already rendered by `promptexec.GenerationError.Error`; do not
+   add provider detail fields to CLI summaries, comparison manifests, logs, or
+   Distributor requests.
+8. Add adversarial tests for formatter redaction, malicious provider strings,
+   JSON escaping, bounds, absent fields, file modes, symlink/path attacks,
+   write failure, cancellation identity, initial versus corrective failures,
+   and concurrent comparison captures.

+
+### Stage 9: Reconcile Documentation And Perform The Final Upgrade Audit
+
+Status: Complete.
+
+Purpose: verify the complete end state as one coherent WeatherReporter feature
+and leave no stale v0.5.0, prompt v2.0.0, comparison v1, credential, profile,
+repair, or debug claims.
+
+Work:
+
+1. Re-read the feature roadmap, `docs/development.md`, every policy document,
+   and every canonical document changed by Stages 1-8. Reconcile them against
+   executable behavior and remove duplicated or stale definitions. Keep
+   unimplemented future ideas in `docs/roadmap/future.md`, not current-state
+   documents.
+2. Search code, embedded assets, examples, tests, and documentation for stale
+   contractual literals and review every occurrence of:
+
+   - PromptKit `v0.5.0`, `v0.6.0`, and `v0.7.0` as an active dependency claim;
+   - prompt version `2.0.0`;
+   - `weatherreporter.comparison.v1`;
+   - prompt debug schema v2 identifiers;
+   - claims that profile fields never inherit;
+   - claims that every `APIKeyEnv` must be populated;
+   - claims that backend ID is always required;
+   - claims that repair is disabled or `repair_attempts` is retired; and
+   - provider detail in ordinary output.
+
+   Historical release documents may retain accurate historical literals.
+3. Verify canonical ownership:
+
+   - architecture owns invariants and boundaries;
+   - config owns operator profile and credential behavior, but no repair field;
+   - PromptKit integration owns logical prompt/profile/output contracts;
+   - CLI owns result fields;
+   - operations owns explicit debug handling and old comparison-bundle cleanup;
+   - comparison integration owns the complete v2 manifest; and
+   - internal documents own implementation flow without duplicating the public
+     references.
+
+4. Verify maintained examples remain valid, secret-free, and tested. The local
+   `weather-light` example remains a standalone endpoint-only profile rather
+   than inheriting an OpenRouter backend it cannot clear.
+5. Review the complete diff for architecture leakage. Production packages
+   outside `internal/adapters/promptkit` must not import PromptKit; no
+   application repair loop, provider client, raw provider diagnostic, profile
+   YAML parser, or durable application state may have appeared.
+6. Review tests under the testing policy. Keep consumer contract and regression
+   coverage, remove accidental duplication of upstream implementation tests,
+   and ensure every default test is offline and repeatable.
+7. Run the complete validation set:
+
+```sh
+gofmt -w <all changed Go files>
+GOWORK=off go test -count=1 ./...
+GOWORK=off go test -race -count=1 ./...
+GOWORK=off go vet ./...
+GOWORK=off go build ./...
+GOWORK=off go mod tidy -diff
 go run ./cmd/weatherreporter --help
+go run ./cmd/weatherreporter compare --help
+test -z "$(git ls-files go.work go.work.sum)"
+test ! -e vendor
 git diff --check
 ```
 
-Completion criteria:
+8. Confirm `go.mod` has no `replace`, the resolved PromptKit module is exactly
+   v0.8.0, and no live credential or provider call occurred during validation.
+9. After every check passes, update this plan's status to Completed and add a
+   concise completion note listing the implemented stages. Do not delete either
+   roadmap until the maintainer has reviewed the implementation. Do not create
+   a release document or tag; release preparation remains a separate maintainer
+   action once a version is selected.
 
-- Maintained docs and examples match implemented behavior.
-- Example config still loads in the config test suite.
+## Completion Standard
 
-## Final Verification
-
-Before considering the feature complete, run:
-
-```bash
-go test ./...
-go run ./cmd/weatherreporter --help
-git diff --check
-rg "ReportPathTemplates|report_path_templates" --glob '!docs/roadmap/**'
-```
-
-The final `rg` should find no implemented-code, maintained-doc, or example
-references to the removed global field.
-
-## Open Questions
-
-None. The prior roadmap questions are resolved above so the implementation can
-proceed without additional product decisions.
+The implementation is complete only when all nine stages pass their focused
+and repository-wide checks, all locked decisions are observable in code and
+canonical documentation, and the feature roadmap's completion criteria are
+satisfied. Passing compilation alone is insufficient. The final state must
+demonstrate repaired success, repair exhaustion, comparison provenance,
+endpoint-only routing, optional credentials, inherited profiles, Rakestrawhome
+inspection, safe ordinary provider failures, secure debug-only detail, and
+unchanged publication and concurrency invariants.

+# PromptKit v0.8.0 Upgrade Roadmap
+
+Status: Implemented.
+
+## Purpose
+
+WeatherReporter should upgrade its PromptKit dependency from `v0.5.0` to
+`v0.8.0` and deliberately adopt the useful consumer-facing capabilities added
+in `v0.6.0`, `v0.7.0`, and `v0.8.0`. The upgrade should improve output-contract
+reliability, profile composition, local and alternate endpoint support, and
+provider-failure diagnosis without moving PromptKit responsibilities into
+WeatherReporter or weakening the application's stateless and security
+boundaries.
+
+This roadmap defines the intended scope, policy, and end state. The
+[implementation plan](implementation.md) owns the procedure for reaching that
+state.
+
+## User Intent
+
+The upgrade is intended to:
+
+- use PromptKit's bounded output repair to recover from occasional malformed
+  structured weather prose;
+- keep WeatherReporter's domain profile IDs stable while inheriting maintained
+  PromptKit model definitions;
+- make PromptKit's additional built-in backend and profile available for
+  explicit generation and profile comparisons;
+- support unauthenticated or optionally authenticated OpenAI-compatible
+  endpoints without inventing a WeatherReporter transport layer;
+- make provider HTTP failures more actionable under an explicit
+  WeatherReporter disclosure policy; and
+- receive PromptKit's intervening correctness, safety, cancellation, resource,
+  and efficiency improvements as part of one tested dependency upgrade.
+
+The model ladder and report assignments do not change as part of this work:
+Hourly continues to select `weather-light`; Daily, Today, and Tomorrow continue
+to select `weather-balanced`; and `weather-deep` remains available for explicit
+selection. This upgrade does not promote the new Rakestrawhome profile into
+that default ladder.
+
+## Current State
+
+WeatherReporter currently depends on
+`gitea.maximumdirect.net/eric/promptkit` at `v0.5.0`. The PromptKit adapter
+supplies embedded prompts, JSON Schemas, and
+application-fallback profiles, plus an optional configured profile source and
+the conventional local backend.
+
+The four generated-text prompts are exact version `2.0.0` JSON Schema prompts.
+They omit `repair_attempts`, so execution is single-pass. The project-owned
+`promptexec.OutputContract` and validation result also omit repair budgets and
+actual repair counts.
+
+The three embedded WeatherReporter profiles duplicate the effective fields of
+these PromptKit built-ins:
+
+| WeatherReporter profile | PromptKit built-in with the same target |
+| --- | --- |
+| `weather-light` | `deepseek-4-flash` |
+| `weather-balanced` | `gemini-flash-latest` |
+| `weather-deep` | `claude-sonnet-latest` |
+
+WeatherReporter preflights any nonblank `api_key_env` as a required credential,
+even though PromptKit v0.7.0 distinguishes an optional environment source from
+an explicit `APIKeyRequired` target. Provider generation failures are reduced
+to WeatherReporter's safe `generation` category; the PromptKit dependency error
+is retained as a hidden cause, but its structured HTTP status and provider
+diagnostics are not mapped into project-owned values.
+
+The maintained `weather-light` local override is an endpoint-only profile, and
+the configuration contract says endpoint-only profiles are supported. PromptKit
+inspection correctly reports no backend ID for that form, but WeatherReporter
+application preflight currently requires both a nonblank backend and model.
+That mismatch prevents the documented example from reaching generation and
+should be corrected as part of adopting the current PromptKit target contract.
+
+## Upstream Release Assessment
+
+### PromptKit v0.6.0
+
+`v0.6.0` adds no public declarations, but it is a material compatibility and
+safety release. It centralizes execution-setting, output-contract, endpoint,
+and JSON-compatible-value validation; makes YAML metadata authoritative for
+prompt and profile identity; hardens `content_file` containment and regular-file
+requirements; validates OpenAI-compatible endpoints structurally; bounds JSON
+trees and successful provider bodies; requires exactly one JSON value in
+provider responses; preserves cancellation and transport error identities; and
+reuses schema and rendered-artifact work within an operation.
+
+WeatherReporter should receive these improvements directly from the dependency
+and audit its own supported assets and configuration paths against the stricter
+contracts. It should not duplicate PromptKit's internal validators or tests.
+The existing embedded prompt paths, inline data-package input, generated-output
+limit, and adapter boundary remain conceptually correct.
+
+### PromptKit v0.7.0
+
+`v0.7.0` adds four potentially useful consumer features:
+
+- linear, cycle-safe profile inheritance through `base_profile` and
+  `Profile.BaseProfileID`;
+- the built-in `rakestrawhome` backend and
+  `rakestrawhome-gemma-4-31b` profile;
+- optional API-key environment sources, with `APIKeyRequired` reserved for an
+  explicit local credential requirement; and
+- bounded structured `GenerationError` details for non-2xx responses from the
+  built-in OpenAI-compatible client.
+
+WeatherReporter has no manual `rakestrawhome` registration and uses keyed
+PromptKit profile literals, so the two source-compatibility hazards called out
+by the release do not require migration shims. The profile, credential, and
+error features do require deliberate application-policy choices described
+below.
+
+### PromptKit v0.8.0
+
+`v0.8.0` activates the existing output-contract repair budget. A positive
+`repair_attempts` value authorizes up to that many corrective model calls after
+eligible `basic`, `json`, or `json_schema` validation failures. The supported
+budget is zero through three. Repairs preserve the original rendered
+conversation, effective target, session, structured-output contract, and
+backend capacity policy. The final result reports cumulative token usage and
+the number of corrective calls actually made.
+
+Repair exhaustion is a completed generation with failed validation, not an
+operational error. WeatherReporter's existing policy should continue to reject
+that result and publish no report for that profile. Explicit empty provider
+content now reaches output validation; for WeatherReporter's JSON Schema
+prompts it is therefore eligible for repair rather than being misclassified as
+a malformed provider envelope.
+
+## Desired End State
+
+WeatherReporter builds and tests against PromptKit `v0.8.0` with no workspace,
+vendor, or module replacement dependency. Its public behavior remains
+stateless, its PromptKit dependency types remain confined to the adapter, and
+its ordinary summaries and logs remain safe.
+
+The completed integration:
+
+- benefits from the v0.6.0 safety and efficiency corrections;
+- composes WeatherReporter domain profiles from PromptKit's maintained built-in
+  profiles while preserving WeatherReporter-owned leaf IDs and operator
+  override precedence;
+- accepts a successfully inspected endpoint-only profile with a nonblank model
+  even though it has no logical backend ID;
+- permits explicit use of PromptKit's Rakestrawhome profile without custom
+  backend wiring;
+- applies an accepted bounded-repair policy to every operational structured
+  prompt;
+- validates repair configuration during preflight and records actual repair
+  activity in project-owned result values;
+- retains PromptKit's cumulative usage accounting in explicit debug output;
+- distinguishes safe provider HTTP status from potentially sensitive provider
+  diagnostics; and
+- documents the changed profile, credential, repair, comparison, debug, and
+  failure contracts in their canonical owners.
+
+## Dependency And Compatibility Policy
+
+The module requirement should move directly from `v0.5.0` to `v0.8.0`, followed
+by a clean module tidy. WeatherReporter already requires Go 1.26 while PromptKit
+`v0.8.0` requires Go 1.25.5, so no Go version change is needed for this upgrade.
+
+Consumer validation must cover the paths called out by PromptKit v0.6.0:
+
+- every embedded prompt, content file, schema, and fallback profile inspects
+  through PromptKit `v0.8.0`;
+- configured single-file and directory profile sources retain their lazy,
+  metadata-authoritative identity and precedence behavior;
+- malformed selected profiles and invalid local endpoints retain actionable
+  WeatherReporter categories;
+- the inline YAML data package and prepared-execution path remain within the
+  new JSON and response bounds; and
+- cancellation, deadline, and backend-capacity identities still cross the
+  adapter correctly.
+
+PromptKit owns its 16 MiB successful transport-response bound and JSON framing.
+WeatherReporter retains its stricter 64 KiB generated-text acceptance bound.
+The consumer suite should protect that relationship without reproducing
+PromptKit's lower-level transport matrix.
+
+## Domain Profile Composition
+
+The embedded profiles should become application-owned aliases:
+
+```yaml
+id: weather-light
+base_profile: deepseek-4-flash
+```
+
+```yaml
+id: weather-balanced
+base_profile: gemini-flash-latest
+```
+
+```yaml
+id: weather-deep
+base_profile: claude-sonnet-latest
+```
+
+The effective backend, model, timeout, service tier, and reasoning settings
+must initially remain identical to the current WeatherReporter definitions.
+The selected leaf remains the durable logical profile identity even though its
+effective target is inherited.
+
+Profile source precedence remains:
+
+1. explicit in-memory profiles used by tests or embedding consumers;
+2. the configured `profile_file` or `profile_dir` source;
+3. WeatherReporter's embedded fallback catalog; and
+4. PromptKit's built-in catalog.
+
+Sources still do not merge definitions of the same ID. Once a selected
+definition names `base_profile`, however, each parent ID is resolved through
+that same precedence order and the resulting linear chain is merged from root
+to leaf according to PromptKit's inheritance contract. Documentation must make
+that distinction explicit. A malformed leaf, missing or malformed base, cycle,
+overlong chain, or incomplete resolved target fails profile inspection before
+weather collection.
+
+An operator may continue to replace `weather-light`, `weather-balanced`, or
+`weather-deep` with a standalone definition. An operator may also define a
+derived replacement. The maintained local endpoint example should remain
+standalone because PromptKit profile inheritance has no clearing syntax: using
+an OpenRouter base would retain its backend identity and capacity policy even
+when the child replaces the endpoint.
+
+WeatherReporter should treat the adapter's successful profile inspection as
+authoritative that PromptKit resolved a usable route. A nonblank model remains
+required, but backend ID is optional for an endpoint-only profile and should be
+omitted from safe provenance where unavailable. WeatherReporter still must not
+surface the endpoint outside explicit debug capture. This aligns application
+preflight with PromptKit and with the existing CLI, comparison, and debug value
+shapes, all of which already permit an absent backend identity.
+
+## Rakestrawhome Availability
+
+The reserved `rakestrawhome` backend and built-in
+`rakestrawhome-gemma-4-31b` profile should be supported automatically through
+ordinary PromptKit selection. Operators may choose that profile with the
+existing global profile setting or as one entry in `compare`, and PromptKit's
+backend capacity policy remains authoritative.
+
+WeatherReporter should not register, wrap, or duplicate the backend or profile,
+and should not add a Rakestrawhome-specific configuration field. Its canonical
+PromptKit integration documentation should link to PromptKit for the current
+built-in catalog and credential contract rather than copying volatile endpoint
+or capacity values. Offline inspection coverage should prove that the built-in
+profile crosses the WeatherReporter adapter with the expected logical backend
+identity.
+
+## Bounded Structured-Output Repair
+
+The accepted repair budget belongs to the exact PromptKit output contract, not
+to a WeatherReporter retry loop. PromptKit alone should construct corrective
+messages, perform additional calls, enforce the budget, aggregate usage, and
+coordinate backend capacity. WeatherReporter must not retry provider failures,
+switch profiles, or layer another repair mechanism around `RunPrepared`.
+
+All four embedded prompt definitions should declare `repair_attempts: 1`.
+Because this changes prompt
+execution behavior, latency, cost, hash, and provenance, each definition and
+its report-registry binding should advance from exact version `2.0.0` to
+`2.1.0`. Prompt text and generated-text schemas do not need to change solely
+for this feature.
+
+The embedded prompt definition is the per-report pipeline policy owner. This
+upgrade should not add a global or per-report operator configuration field for
+repair attempts and should not construct a request-level replacement output
+contract. A future pipeline may select another budget only through a deliberate
+prompt-definition and exact-version change.
+
+The project-owned PromptKit boundary should retain:
+
+- the configured repair budget in prompt inspection and preparation output
+  contracts;
+- the number of corrective calls actually made in completed validation;
+- cumulative PromptKit token usage across initial and corrective calls; and
+- the final candidate and final validation result only, consistent with the
+  PromptKit contract.
+
+Prompt inspection and preparation provenance must require the repair budget to
+match the exact expected prompt definition just as they currently require the
+format, validation mode, and schema path to match. A zero-attempt successful
+result is normal when the first candidate passes. A repair-exhausted result
+continues through WeatherReporter's ordinary `validation_rejected` failure
+path, and an operational or generation failure during correction remains that
+profile's ordinary operational failure.
+
+For concurrent comparison, every profile should use the same prompt repair
+budget. A corrective call remains part of that profile's one prepared
+execution and uses PromptKit's existing backend capacity pool. One profile's
+repair or failure must not cancel independent peers.
+
+## Repair Observability And Comparison Contract
+
+The actual repair count is safe operational provenance and should be visible
+where WeatherReporter already reports completed validation. Generation, batch,
+and comparison action summaries should expose it without exposing candidates,
+schemas, or diagnostics. Explicit execution debug output should add it to the
+validation object alongside PromptKit's already mapped cumulative usage.
+
+Profile comparison needs this value in `comparison.json`: a successful result
+that required correction is materially different from a first-pass success
+when evaluating model reliability, latency, and cost. The manifest should
+therefore advance to `weatherreporter.comparison.v2` and add a non-negative
+`repairAttempts` field to each result. The field is zero when no corrective
+call began, including ordinary first-pass success. A failure carries the count
+when PromptKit returned a completed validation result; it is omitted only when
+execution failed before a completed validation result made the value known.
+
+The v2 manifest should remain flat, strict, deterministic, and atomically
+published. WeatherReporter does not need to preserve v1 replacement
+compatibility: comparison bundles are operator-owned development outputs, and
+the current integration contract intentionally recognizes only its current
+schema. The release notes and comparison documentation must call out the
+version change so an operator can remove or relocate an older bundle before
+using guarded replacement at the same destination.
+
+## Credential Semantics
+
+PromptKit v0.7.0 treats `APIKeyEnv` as an optional lookup source. If the
+environment variable is absent or blank and no direct credential is supplied,
+the built-in client omits `Authorization` and lets the endpoint respond.
+`APIKeyRequired` is the distinct signal that a usable credential must be
+provided locally.
+
+WeatherReporter cannot supply PromptKit's request-scoped direct API-key value,
+so a profile reporting `APIKeyRequired` remains unsupported and must fail
+before weather collection. WeatherReporter should not require a nonblank value
+for an optional `APIKeyEnv` during application preflight. The built-in client
+should omit `Authorization` when that source is unavailable and let the
+endpoint return any authentication failure through the ordinary structured
+generation-error path.
+
+## Structured Generation Failures
+
+PromptKit v0.7.0's `GenerationError` can report a provider HTTP status plus
+bounded provider code, type, and message. WeatherReporter should consume that
+type only inside the PromptKit adapter and map any adopted fields into a
+project-owned immutable error. PromptKit dependency types must not become app
+or CLI contracts.
+
+HTTP status is safe enough for ordinary diagnostics. Provider code, type, and
+message remain untrusted and may contain request or schema fragments. They
+must never enter ordinary errors, action summaries, comparison manifests,
+logs, generated reports, or Distributor payloads. The full structured
+diagnostic belongs only in an explicitly requested secure `--llm-debug-dir`
+`failure.json` artifact. That artifact may contain PromptKit's normalized
+bounded fields but never the raw provider body, headers, endpoint, credentials,
+or reconstructed request.
+
+Initial-call and corrective-call non-2xx responses should follow the same
+mapping. Cancellation and deadline categories continue to take precedence over
+provider classification where PromptKit preserves those identities.
+
+## Testing Policy
+
+The default suite must remain deterministic, offline, and credential-free.
+Use injected PromptKit clients and synthetic embedded or temporary assets for
+consumer behavior; do not call OpenRouter, Rakestrawhome, or a local endpoint.
+
+Risk-based coverage should include:
+
+- all embedded prompts and inherited domain profiles inspecting successfully
+  under PromptKit `v0.8.0`;
+- unchanged effective targets and report-to-profile assignments after the
+  alias refactor;
+- external standalone and derived profile precedence, plus selected missing,
+  cyclic, and malformed-base failures at the WeatherReporter boundary;
+- end-to-end preflight and prepared execution through the maintained
+  endpoint-only `weather-light` override without exposing its endpoint;
+- offline inspection of `rakestrawhome-gemma-4-31b`;
+- a first-pass valid result with zero repairs;
+- an invalid structured result repaired successfully within one corrective
+  call;
+- one-attempt exhaustion returning failed validation and no published report;
+- a corrective generation failure retaining its safe category and provider
+  status policy;
+- cumulative usage and actual repair-count mapping;
+- comparison peers remaining independent when one profile repairs, exhausts,
+  or fails;
+- v2 comparison manifest validation and guarded replacement; and
+- absent or blank optional `APIKeyEnv` values reaching the provider without an
+  `Authorization` header, while `APIKeyRequired` profiles fail preflight.
+
+Do not reproduce PromptKit's internal matrices for path traversal, JSON tree
+bounds, response framing, inheritance depth, repair prompt construction, or
+provider-detail normalization. WeatherReporter tests should protect only its
+adapter mappings, application policy, provenance, publication, and public
+contracts. Run ordinary and race-enabled repository tests because the repaired
+execution path participates in concurrent comparisons.
+
+## Documentation And Release Impact
+
+Implementation must update each canonical owner whose contract changes:
+
+- `docs/policy/architecture.md` for prompt-execution, credential, diagnostic,
+  and comparison invariants;
+- `docs/config.md` and the maintained local profile example for profile-source,
+  inheritance, and credential semantics;
+- `docs/integrations/promptkit.md` for exact prompt versions, repair policy,
+  profile composition, Rakestrawhome availability, and safe errors;
+- `docs/integrations/comparison-bundle.md` for the v2 manifest and repair count;
+- `docs/cli.md` for repair-count fields in action summaries;
+- `docs/operations.md` for changed failure behavior and any explicit provider
+  diagnostic capture;
+- focused internal PromptKit adapter, app orchestration, prompt-debug, and
+  comparison documentation; and
+- release notes for the dependency jump, prompt version change, possible
+  additional model call, credential behavior, profile inheritance, diagnostic
+  behavior, and comparison schema change.
+
+Current-state documentation must not describe this behavior until the
+implementation lands. PromptKit remains the canonical owner of its complete
+built-in catalogs, YAML merge rules, transport limits, corrective-message
+construction, and public Go API.
+
+## Scope
+
+The completed feature includes:
+
+- the direct module upgrade and tidy dependency graph;
+- a v0.6.0 compatibility audit of WeatherReporter's supported PromptKit paths;
+- inherited WeatherReporter domain profile definitions with unchanged
+  effective targets;
+- correction of application preflight so PromptKit endpoint-only profiles work
+  as documented while retaining a required model identity;
+- ordinary access to the Rakestrawhome built-in profile;
+- PromptKit's optional-credential policy, while direct-key-required profiles
+  remain unsupported;
+- `repair_attempts` on all operational prompts and exact prompt-version bumps;
+- project-owned repair budget, actual-attempt, usage, and provenance mappings;
+- repair observability in action summaries, explicit debug output, and a v2
+  comparison manifest;
+- safe provider HTTP status in ordinary errors and bounded provider detail only
+  in explicit secure debug capture;
+- focused offline and race-enabled regression coverage; and
+- canonical current-state and release documentation updated with the code.
+
+## Non-Goals
+
+This upgrade does not include:
+
+- application-implemented repair prompts or provider transport;
+- retries for HTTP, network, timeout, capacity, or other operational failures;
+- automatic profile escalation, fallback, ranking, or resampling;
+- changing the weather profile ladder, default report assignments, or concrete
+  model targets beyond inheriting their maintained PromptKit definitions;
+- making Rakestrawhome a default or adding provider-specific configuration;
+- live-provider tests or a permanent benchmark framework;
+- exposing raw provider responses or sensitive diagnostics routinely;
+- a general prompt-source or pipeline plugin system; or
+- compatibility shims for PromptKit versions older than `v0.8.0`.
+
+## Completion Criteria
+
+The roadmap is complete when:
+
+- `go.mod` and `go.sum` resolve PromptKit `v0.8.0` without a replacement,
+  workspace, or vendor tree;
+- all PromptKit v0.6.0 compatibility points relevant to WeatherReporter have
+  been checked and valid supported inputs retain project-owned error identity;
+- the three WeatherReporter profiles inherit the intended PromptKit built-ins,
+  retain their logical IDs, and inspect to the intended effective targets;
+- external standalone and inherited overrides obey documented precedence and
+  failure behavior;
+- the maintained endpoint-only local override passes application preflight,
+  retains an empty backend ID, and keeps its endpoint out of ordinary values;
+- `rakestrawhome-gemma-4-31b` is selectable through ordinary generation and
+  comparison paths without WeatherReporter backend registration;
+- every operational prompt has one bounded repair attempt at exact
+  version `2.1.0`;
+- inspection, preparation, execution, debug, and comparison values accurately
+  preserve configured and actual repair counts;
+- first-pass success, repaired success, repair exhaustion, repair generation
+  failure, and explicit empty content follow the documented outcomes;
+- the v2 comparison bundle distinguishes first-pass and repaired results;
+- credential preflight accepts absent optional environment credentials while
+  rejecting direct-key-required profiles, and provider-error disclosure does
+  not leak sensitive values;
+- the default test suite is offline and deterministic, ordinary and race
+  validation pass, and no redundant upstream implementation suite is copied;
+  and
+- every implemented contract is documented by its canonical current-state
+  owner and disclosed in the eventual release notes.

 # Report Templates
 
-## Purpose
+This guide is for maintainers editing Weatherreporter's embedded Markdown
+templates. Templates format already validated report inputs; they do not select
+sources, derive weather facts, or validate generated prose. For those details,
+see [Generated Text internals](internal/generatedtext.md) and [Report Template
+internals](internal/reporttemplate.md).
 
-This guide describes the implemented Markdown report template surface for
-`weatherreporter`. It is for maintainers editing embedded report templates,
-especially generated-text-template reports.
+## Template Assets
 
-Templates are Go `text/template` files. The implemented top-level templates
-are:
+Only the generated-text reports use repository-native Markdown templates.
+Each report has one matching template ID, generated-text schema ID, and prompt
+source:
 
-- `internal/reporttemplate/templates/daily.md.tmpl`
-- `internal/reporttemplate/templates/today.md.tmpl`
-- `internal/reporttemplate/templates/tomorrow.md.tmpl`
-- `internal/reporttemplate/templates/hourly.md.tmpl`
+| Report | Template | Schema | Prompt ID and source |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Daily | `templates/daily.md.tmpl` (`daily`) | `daily` | `weather.daily_generated_text`; `internal/promptassets/assets/prompts/daily/` |
+| Today | `templates/today.md.tmpl` (`today`) | `today` | `weather.today_generated_text`; `internal/promptassets/assets/prompts/today/` |
+| Tomorrow | `templates/tomorrow.md.tmpl` (`tomorrow`) | `tomorrow` | `weather.tomorrow_generated_text`; `internal/promptassets/assets/prompts/tomorrow/` |
+| Hourly | `templates/hourly.md.tmpl` (`hourly`) | `hourly` | `weather.hourly_generated_text`; `internal/promptassets/assets/prompts/hourly/` |
 
-Shared named partials live under `internal/reporttemplate/templates/partials/`:
+The matching schemas and Promptkit definitions are embedded by
+`internal/promptassets`. The generated-text catalog requires each report's
+exact schema/template pair; keep the matching prompt definition aligned with
+that report-specific triple.
 
-- `alert_digest.md.tmpl`, used by Daily, Today, Tomorrow, and Hourly for the
-  combined Alerts and Risk Products section
-- `daypart_forecast.md.tmpl`, used by Daily and Tomorrow
-- `today_daypart_forecast.md.tmpl`, used by Today
-- `precipitation_timing.md.tmpl`, used by Daily, Today, Tomorrow, and Hourly
+Shared partials are under `internal/reporttemplate/templates/partials/`:
 
-Templates are rendered from structured contexts such as `DailyRenderContext`,
-`TodayRenderContext`, `TomorrowRenderContext`, and `HourlyRenderContext`.
-Weather data collection, derivation, module execution, generated text
-validation, and artifact paths are handled before template rendering.
+| Partial | Used by |
+| --- | --- |
+| `alert_digest.md.tmpl` | Daily, Today, Tomorrow, and Hourly |
+| `precipitation_timing.md.tmpl` | Daily, Today, Tomorrow, and Hourly |
+| `daypart_forecast.md.tmpl` | Daily and Tomorrow |
+| `today_daypart_forecast.md.tmpl` | Today |
+
+All shared partials are parsed whenever any top-level template is rendered. A
+syntax error in a partial can therefore prevent every generated-text report
+from rendering.
 
 ## Editing Rules
 
-- Use Go `text/template` syntax.
-- Keep templates focused on Markdown layout, headings, ordering, and simple
-  conditional display.
-- Do not put weather derivation, source selection, or path construction logic in
-  templates.
-- Missing template keys are errors. A misspelled variable will fail rendering.
-- No custom template functions are registered.
-- Named partials are invoked with `{{ template "name" . }}`. Pass the current
-  render context (`.`) unless the partial is intentionally designed for a
-  narrower value.
-- Optional module stanzas are pointers and should be guarded with
-  `{{ with .Modules.WeatherStory }}...{{ end }}`.
-- Slices can be rendered with `{{ range .Items }}...{{ else }}...{{ end }}`.
+- Use Go `text/template` syntax and keep changes to Markdown structure,
+  ordering, and display conditions.
+- Templates use `missingkey=error`; reference only documented fields and guard
+  optional module pointers with `with` or `if`.
+- Prefer `.Modules` for deterministic display values. Do not add weather
+  calculations, source selection, or prompt-input shaping to a template.
+- Keep generated prose in `.GeneratedText`; do not restate deterministic facts
+  in generated prose merely to compensate for a template change.
+- Render every `.GeneratedText` value through `plainText`. It preserves prose
+  and paragraph breaks while escaping Markdown and HTML syntax, removing code
+  indentation, and replacing control characters. Never interpolate generated
+  prose directly: repository templates alone own headings, lists, links, and
+  other Markdown structure.
+- When changing the generated-prose contract, update the matching prompt,
+  schema, validator, render context, and template together. The validation and
+  catalog rules are owned by [Generated Text internals](internal/generatedtext.md).
+- Use `.Modules.Dayparts` for ordered daypart output. Do not range over
+  `.Modules.DerivedDaypartSummaries`, which is a map. The Today partial uses
+  `.Modules.HasDaypartDetails` to ensure its heading has either rows or the
+  explicit no-details fallback.
 
-## Hourly Context
-
-The hourly template receives five top-level values:
-
-| Variable | Type | Description |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| `.Report` | HourlyReportContext | Display metadata and friendly labels for the rendered report. |
-| `.GeneratedText` | Hourly | Structured text returned by Scriptorium. |
-| `.Modules` | HourlyTemplateModules | Preferred deterministic template surface, keyed by module purpose. |
-| `.Collected` | facts.CollectedFacts | Normalized upstream facts for advanced template use. |
-| `.Derived` | facts.DerivedFacts | Shared derived facts for advanced template use. |
-
-Prefer `.Modules` for normal template edits. `.Collected` and `.Derived` are
-available when a template needs lower-level facts, but templates should still
-avoid nontrivial derivation.
-
-## Report
-
-| Variable | Type | Description |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| `.Report.Title` | string | Display title. Currently `Hourly Report`. |
-| `.Report.LocationName` | string | Prompt/report location label, such as `Brentwood, MO`. |
-| `.Report.GeneratedAt` | time.Time | Canonical generation timestamp. |
-| `.Report.GeneratedAtLabel` | string | Friendly local generation time label. |
-| `.Report.ValidPeriod` | timeutil.Period | Canonical valid period. |
-| `.Report.ValidPeriodLabel` | string | Friendly local valid period label, such as `2026-05-29 at 8:30 AM to 2026-05-29 at 2:30 PM`. |
-| `.Report.Timezone` | string | Effective report timezone. |
-
-## GeneratedText
-
-These fields are written by Scriptorium as structured JSON, validated by
-weatherreporter, and then inserted into the render context.
-
-| Variable | Type | Description |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| `.GeneratedText.Summary` | string | Required short prose summary. |
-| `.GeneratedText.ForecastDiscussion` | string | Required prose for the Forecast Discussion section. |
-| `.GeneratedText.PrecipitationTiming` | string | Optional prose rendered after deterministic precipitation windows. |
-| `.GeneratedText.Confidence` | string | Optional confidence or uncertainty note. Empty when omitted by the LLM; not rendered by the current hourly template. |
-
-Example:
-
-```gotemplate
-{{ .GeneratedText.Summary }}
-
-## Forecast Discussion
-
-{{ .GeneratedText.ForecastDiscussion }}
-```
-
-## Tomorrow Context
-
-The Tomorrow template receives five top-level values:
-
-| Variable | Type | Description |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| `.Report` | TomorrowReportContext | Display metadata and friendly labels for the rendered report. |
-| `.GeneratedText` | Tomorrow | Structured text returned by Scriptorium. |
-| `.Modules` | TomorrowTemplateModules | Preferred deterministic template surface, keyed by module purpose. |
-| `.Collected` | facts.CollectedFacts | Normalized upstream facts for advanced template use. |
-| `.Derived` | facts.DerivedFacts | Shared derived facts for advanced template use. |
-
-Tomorrow report metadata includes `.Report.Title`, `.Report.ForecastDate`,
-`.Report.ForecastDateLabel`, `.Report.ForecastDayName`,
-`.Report.GeneratedAt`, `.Report.GeneratedAtLabel`, `.Report.ValidPeriod`, and
-`.Report.Timezone`.
-
-Tomorrow generated text uses the same `.GeneratedText.Summary`,
-`.GeneratedText.PrecipitationTiming`, and `.GeneratedText.Confidence` fields as
-Hourly. `.GeneratedText.ForecastDiscussion` is a slice of paragraphs and should
-be rendered with `range`.
-
-Tomorrow uses the shared `alert_digest`, `daypart_forecast`, and
-`precipitation_timing` partials.
-
-Tomorrow modules include the Hourly module fields plus:
-
-| Variable | Type | Description |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| `.Modules.DerivedDailySummary` | *briefing.DerivedDailySummaryModule | Daily summary facts for the forecast date. |
-| `.Modules.DerivedDaypartSummaries` | *map[string]briefing.DerivedDaypartSummaryModule | Raw daypart summary map, when direct keyed access is needed. |
-| `.Modules.Dayparts` | []generatedtext.TomorrowDaypartContext | Ordered daypart summaries for deterministic template rendering. |
-| `.Modules.TomorrowPlanning` | *briefing.TomorrowPlanningModule | Planning facts for the next local civil day. |
-
-Prefer `.Modules.Dayparts` over ranging through
-`.Modules.DerivedDaypartSummaries`; it follows configured daypart order and
-falls back to sorted keys for any unmatched entries.
-
-## Daily Context
-
-The Daily template receives the same five top-level values as Tomorrow, using
-`DailyReportContext`, `Daily`, and `DailyTemplateModules`.
-
-Daily report metadata includes `.Report.Title`, `.Report.ForecastDate`,
-`.Report.ForecastDateLabel`, `.Report.ForecastDayName`,
-`.Report.GeneratedAt`, `.Report.GeneratedAtLabel`, `.Report.ValidPeriod`, and
-`.Report.Timezone`.
-
-Daily generated text uses `.GeneratedText.Summary`,
-`.GeneratedText.ForecastDiscussion`, `.GeneratedText.PrecipitationTiming`, and
-`.GeneratedText.Confidence`. Forecast discussion is a slice of paragraphs and
-should be rendered with `range`.
-
-Daily uses the shared `alert_digest`, `daypart_forecast`, and
-`precipitation_timing` partials.
-
-Daily uses template ID `daily`, generated-text schema ID `daily`, and prompt
-source `internal/reporttemplate/prompts/daily.generated_text.md`.
-
-Daily modules include the Hourly module fields plus:
-
-| Variable | Type | Description |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| `.Modules.DerivedDailySummary` | *briefing.DerivedDailySummaryModule | Daily summary facts for the forecast date. |
-| `.Modules.DerivedDaypartSummaries` | *map[string]briefing.DerivedDaypartSummaryModule | Raw daypart summary map, when direct keyed access is needed. |
-| `.Modules.Dayparts` | []generatedtext.DailyDaypartContext | Ordered daypart summaries for deterministic template rendering. |
-| `.Modules.DailyPlanning` | *briefing.DailyPlanningModule | Planning facts for the selected local civil day. |
-
-Prefer `.Modules.Dayparts` over ranging through
-`.Modules.DerivedDaypartSummaries`; it follows configured daypart order and
-falls back to sorted keys for any unmatched entries.
-
-## Today Context
-
-The Today template receives the same five top-level values as Tomorrow, using
-`TodayReportContext`, `Today`, and `TodayTemplateModules`.
-
-Today report metadata includes `.Report.Title`, `.Report.ForecastDate`,
-`.Report.ForecastDateLabel`, `.Report.ForecastDayName`,
-`.Report.GeneratedAt`, `.Report.GeneratedAtLabel`, `.Report.ValidPeriod`, and
-`.Report.Timezone`.
-
-Today generated text uses `.GeneratedText.Summary`,
-`.GeneratedText.ForecastDiscussion`, `.GeneratedText.PrecipitationTiming`, and
-`.GeneratedText.Confidence`. Forecast discussion is a slice of paragraphs and
-should be rendered with `range`.
-
-Today uses the `today_daypart_forecast` partial so elapsed or missing dayparts
-can be omitted while Daily and Tomorrow keep their fallback row. It also uses
-the shared `alert_digest` and `precipitation_timing` partials.
-
-Today uses template ID `today`, generated-text schema ID `today`, and prompt
-source `internal/reporttemplate/prompts/today.generated_text.md`.
-
-Today modules include the Hourly module fields plus:
-
-| Variable | Type | Description |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| `.Modules.DerivedDailySummary` | *briefing.DerivedDailySummaryModule | Daily summary facts for the forecast date. |

-| `.Modules.Dayparts` | []generatedtext.TodayDaypartContext | Ordered daypart summaries for deterministic template rendering. |
-| `.Modules.TodayPlanning` | *briefing.TodayPlanningModule | Planning facts for the current local civil day. |
-
-Prefer `.Modules.Dayparts` over ranging through
-`.Modules.DerivedDaypartSummaries`; it follows configured daypart order and
-falls back to sorted keys for any unmatched entries.
-
-## Modules
-
-`.Modules` exposes typed outputs from the same module pipeline used for the
-prompt data package. Module fields are pointers because missing-data policy may
-omit a stanza.
-
-Templates render from rich module values, not from the curated YAML data
-package. Some fields documented below are deterministic wording helpers for
-Markdown templates and are intentionally omitted from data packages passed to
-Scriptorium. The data package is a prompt input, while the render context is the
-template surface.
-
-| Variable | Type | Description |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| `.Modules.Metadata` | *briefing.MetadataModule | Report metadata module output, when present. |
-| `.Modules.CurrentConditions` | *briefing.CurrentConditionsModule | Current conditions from `/conditions/current`. |

-{{ else }}
-- No hourly forecast rows available.
-{{ end }}{{ end }}
+{{ range .GeneratedText.ForecastDiscussion }}
+{{ plainText . }}
+{{ end }}
 ```
 
-### Precipitation Timing
+## Registered Functions
 
-Common fields:
+Templates have these helpers in addition to Go template built-ins:
 
-| Variable | Type | Description |
+| Function | Accepts | Returns true when |
 | --- | --- | --- |
-| `.Modules.PrecipTiming.MaxPopPercent` | *int | Highest hourly precipitation probability in the valid period. |

+| `plainText` | a generated prose string | a readable plain-text rendering that preserves paragraph breaks without allowing dynamic Markdown or HTML structure |
 
-### Daypart Summaries
+For example, the alert partial uses the first two functions to decide whether
+to render the section:
 
-Daily, Today, and Tomorrow templates should use `.Modules.Dayparts` for
-ordered daypart rendering. Each item has `Key` and `Summary`; `Summary` is a
-rich `briefing.DerivedDaypartSummaryModule`.
+```gotemplate
+{{ if hasRelevantAlerts .Modules.AlertDigest }}
+## Alert Digest
+{{ end }}
+```
 
-The shared daypart partials render from these same `.Modules.Dayparts` values.
-Edit `daypart_forecast.md.tmpl` for common Daily/Tomorrow wording, and edit
-`today_daypart_forecast.md.tmpl` for Today-specific omission behavior.
+## Render Context
 
-Common rich daypart fields:
+Every rendered template receives one typed context with these three top-level
+fields:

+| `.GeneratedText.PrecipitationTiming` | `string` | `string` | Required field, at most 4,000 characters; an empty string represents no supported prose. The precipitation partial uses nonempty prose only when deterministic windows exist. |
 
-### Weather Story
+The JSON schema rejects unknown properties and defines the required fields, but
+the schema body and validation behavior are documented in [Generated Text
+internals](internal/generatedtext.md). All validated generated prose together
+is limited to 20,000 characters, so template edits can rely on a bounded prose
+surface.

-| `.Modules.WeatherStory.Order` | int | Source order. |
-| `.Modules.WeatherStory.DownloadURL` | string | Source download URL. |
+### Deterministic Module Values
 
-## Collected And Derived Facts
+Module values are deterministic outputs built from collected and derived facts.
+Module pointers can be nil when their source or policy permits omission.
 
-The template also receives the full `facts.CollectedFacts` and
-`facts.DerivedFacts` structs:
+| Module field | Available in |
+| --- | --- |
+| `.Modules.CurrentConditions`, `.Modules.HourlyForecast`, `.Modules.PrecipTiming`, `.Modules.AlertDigest`, `.Modules.SPCConvectiveOutlooks`, `.Modules.AreaForecastDiscussion`, `.Modules.SPCConvectiveDiscussion`, `.Modules.WeatherStory` | All four contexts |
+| `.Modules.DerivedDailySummary`, `.Modules.DerivedDaypartSummaries`, `.Modules.Dayparts` | Daily, Today, Tomorrow |
+| `.Modules.HasDaypartDetails` | Today |
+| `.Modules.OutdoorWindows`, `.Modules.DailyPlanning` | Daily |
+| `.Modules.TodayPlanning` | Today |
+| `.Modules.TomorrowPlanning` | Tomorrow |
 
-- `.Collected` contains normalized source data and provenance from upstream
-  Weather API fetches.
-- `.Derived` contains shared slices and calculations used across modules, such
-  as valid-period hourly periods, precipitation timing, alert overlaps, and SPC
-  filtering inputs.
+The repository templates currently use the following nested display values.
+They are the preferred surface for comparable edits:
 
-These values are intentionally lower-level than `.Modules`. Use them when a
-template needs a specific field that is not exposed by a module, but keep
-calculation-heavy changes in Go.
+| Area | Values |
+| --- | --- |
+| Current conditions | `.TemperatureF`, `.ConditionText`, `.ConditionTextLower`, `.ApparentTemperatureF`, `.RelativeHumidityPercent`, `.WindDirectionText`, `.WindSpeedMph` |
+| Hourly periods | `.Periods`, `.HourLabel`, `.Name`, `.TemperatureF`, `.TextDescription`, `.TextDescriptionLower`, `.MentionPrecipitation`, `.ProbabilityOfPrecipitationPercent` |
+| Dayparts | `.Dayparts[].Key` and `.Dayparts[].Summary` fields `DisplayName`, `DominantCondition`, `DominantConditionDisplay`, `TemperatureTrend`, `TemperatureStartPhraseF`, `TemperatureEndPhraseF`, `TemperaturePeakPhraseF`, `TemperatureSteadyPhraseF`, `TemperaturePhraseF`, `MentionPrecipitation`, and `MaxPopPercent` |
+| Precipitation timing | `.PrecipitationWindows`, plus each window's `PeriodBegins`, `PeriodBeginsHourLabel`, `PeriodEnds`, `PeriodEndsHourLabel`, `ExpectationPhrase`, `MaxPopPercent`, `MaxPopTime`, and `MaxPopHourLabel` |
+| Alert digest | `.AlertDigest.Relevant` entries' `Event`, `Headline`, `PeriodBegins`, and `PeriodEnds` |
+| SPC risk digest | `.SPCConvectiveOutlooks.RiskDigest` entries' `LabelText`, `RiskLabel`, `PeriodBegins`, and `PeriodEnds` |
 
-## Validation
+Other fields on these typed modules remain available when a template has a
+well-defined display need. Their module contracts and weather derivation belong
+to [Module contract internals](internal/module.md), [Module builder
+internals](internal/briefing.md), and [Forecast derivation
+internals](internal/forecast-derivation.md).
 
-After editing a template, run:
+## Validate Changes
 
-```bash
+Run the focused checks after editing templates, partials, prompts, or schemas:
+
+```sh
 go test ./internal/reporttemplate ./internal/generatedtext ./internal/app
-```
-
-For a full check, run:
-
-```bash
-go test ./...
-go run ./cmd/weatherreporter --help
 git diff --check
 ```
 
-Template render tests exercise the Daily, Today, Tomorrow, and Hourly
-templates through `internal/generatedtext/render_context_test.go` and
-`internal/reporttemplate/reporttemplate_test.go`.
+The render-context and template tests cover Daily, Today, Tomorrow, and Hourly
+contexts. Run the repository-wide test suite before merging a broader change.

-# Weatherreporter Troubleshooting
-
-This guide lists recurring failures with likely causes, diagnostics, and safe
-fixes. See [CLI reference](cli.md), [Configuration reference](config.md), and
-[Operations guide](operations.md) for normal usage.
-
-## `weather_api.base_url is required`
-
-Symptom: a generation command fails before collecting weather data.
-
-Likely cause: no Weather API base URL is configured.
-
-Diagnostic:
-
-```sh
-weatherreporter generate daily --config ./config.yml --date 2026-05-29
-```
-
-Safe fix: add `weather_api.base_url` to the config file, or pass the intended
-config path with `--config`.
-
-Relevant docs: [Configuration reference](config.md).
-
-## `weather_api.base_url must be an absolute URL`
-
-Symptom: config loading fails with a base URL validation error.
-
-Likely cause: `weather_api.base_url` is missing a scheme or host.
-
-Diagnostic: inspect the configured value in the file passed to `--config`.
-
-Safe fix: use an absolute URL such as `https://weather.api.example.com/`.
-
-Relevant docs: [Configuration reference](config.md).
-
-## Invalid Timezone
-
-Symptom: config loading fails with `weather_api.timezone` context, or a CLI
-timezone override fails.
-
-Likely cause: `weather_api.timezone` or `--tz` is not recognized.
-
-Diagnostic:
-
-```sh
-weatherreporter generate daily --tz America/Chicago --date 2026-05-29
-```
-
-Safe fix: use an accepted timezone value, such as an IANA timezone name,
-`Chicago`, `Stl`, a US timezone abbreviation, or a UTC offset.
-
-Relevant docs: [Configuration reference](config.md).
-
-## Storm Command Rejects Time Bounds
-
-Symptom: `generate storm` fails with `requires --start`, `requires --end`, or
-`requires --end after --start`.
-
-Likely cause: the manual event window is missing or invalid.
-
-Diagnostic:
-
-```sh
-weatherreporter generate storm --start 2026-05-29T18:00 --end 2026-05-30T06:00
-```
-
-Safe fix: provide both bounds. Use `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM` in the configured
-timezone, or RFC3339 timestamps with explicit offsets.
-
-Relevant docs: [CLI reference](cli.md).
-
-## Weather API Fetch Fails
-
-Symptom: generation fails with `fetch /...`, an HTTP status, or request context.
-
-Likely cause: the configured Weather API endpoint is unreachable, returned a
-non-2xx response, or returned an invalid response envelope.
-
-Diagnostic:
-
-```sh
-weatherreporter generate daily --config ./config.yml --date 2026-05-29
-```
-
-Safe fix: verify `weather_api.base_url`, network access, and the Weather API
-service response. The adapter fetches `/observations`, `/conditions/current`,
-`/forecast/hourly`, `/forecast/narrative`, `/alerts/active`, and `/discussion`.
-
-Relevant docs: [Configuration reference](config.md).
-
-## Hourly Forecast Is Missing
-
-Symptom: generation fails with hourly forecast context, such as missing hourly
-data or an hourly forecast containing no periods.
-
-Likely cause: hourly forecast data is required for generated reports.
-
-Diagnostic: check the Weather API response for `/forecast/hourly`.
-
-Safe fix: restore hourly forecast data at the Weather API. Missing-source
-policy cannot make hourly optional.
-
-Relevant docs: [Configuration reference](config.md), [Operations guide](operations.md).
-
-## Source Warnings Appear
-
-Symptom: generation succeeds, but metadata or `inspect sources` shows source
-warnings.
-
-Likely cause: an optional source was missing or malformed under a warning
-missing-source policy.
-
-Diagnostic:
-
-```sh
-weatherreporter inspect sources RUN_ID
-weatherreporter inspect metadata RUN_ID
-```
-
-Safe fix: inspect the warning `source`, `code`, `message`, and `endpoint`. Fix
-the upstream optional source, or intentionally change the relevant
-`missing_source` policy.
-
-Relevant docs: [Configuration reference](config.md), [Operations guide](operations.md).
-
-## `scriptorium` Is Not Found Or Cannot Start
-
-Symptom: generation fails with `run scriptorium render` or `run scriptorium`
-and an executable or OS error.
-
-Likely cause: the configured Scriptorium binary is unavailable or not
-executable.
-
-Diagnostic: check `scriptorium.binary` in config and run the same binary outside
-`weatherreporter`.
-
-Safe fix: install Scriptorium, update `scriptorium.binary`, or fix executable
-permissions.
-
-Relevant docs: [Configuration reference](config.md),
-[Scriptorium integration](integrations/scriptorium.md).
-
-## Render Preflight Fails
-
-Symptom: generation fails with `scriptorium render exited with code ...`.
-
-Likely cause: Scriptorium rejected the prompt, config, profile, or
-`data_package` input before report generation.
-
-Diagnostic:
-
-```sh
-weatherreporter inspect metadata RUN_ID
-weatherreporter inspect data-package RUN_ID
-```
-
-Then read the preflight path from metadata. It contains captured stdout, stderr,
-exit code, and command.
-
-Safe fix: fix the Scriptorium configuration, prompt ID, profile, or data package
-input indicated by stderr.
-
-Relevant docs: [Operations guide](operations.md),
-[Scriptorium integration](integrations/scriptorium.md).
-
-## Scriptorium Run Fails
-
-Symptom: generation fails with `scriptorium run exited with code ...`.
-
-Likely cause: Scriptorium failed during report generation or validation.
-
-Diagnostic:
-
-```sh
-weatherreporter inspect metadata RUN_ID
-weatherreporter inspect data-package RUN_ID
-```
-
-If metadata includes a rendered report path, inspect that report as well. A
-nonzero run can still leave a managed report artifact.
-
-Safe fix: use the captured stderr and data package to fix the Scriptorium
-prompt, profile, model configuration, or validation issue.
-
-Relevant docs: [Operations guide](operations.md),
-[Scriptorium integration](integrations/scriptorium.md).
-
-## Generated Text Validation Fails
-
-Symptom: Daily, Today, Tomorrow, or Hourly generation fails with generated-text
-decode, unknown-field, required-field, or multiple-JSON-values context.
-
-Likely cause: Scriptorium wrote structured JSON that does not match the
-GeneratedText contract for the selected report.
-
-Diagnostic:
-
-```sh
-weatherreporter inspect metadata RUN_ID
-```
-
-Then inspect the generated-text raw path recorded in metadata, if present.
-
-Safe fix: update the Scriptorium prompt or schema configuration so the prompt
-writes the expected structured JSON for the report.
-
-Relevant docs: [Operations guide](operations.md),
-[Generated Text internals](internal/generatedtext.md),
-[Scriptorium integration](integrations/scriptorium.md).
-
-## Template Rendering Fails
-
-Symptom: Daily, Today, Tomorrow, or Hourly generation fails with report template
-parsing or execution context after generated text validation succeeds.
-
-Likely cause: an embedded template references a missing context field or
-receives a value shape that does not match its typed render context.
-
-Diagnostic:
-
-```sh
-weatherreporter inspect metadata RUN_ID
-```
-
-If metadata records generated-text and render-context paths, inspect those
-artifacts along with the template named by the report definition.
-
-Safe fix: update the embedded template or render-context builder so the
-template uses the implemented typed context.
-
-Relevant docs: [Report Templates](templates.md),
-[Report Template internals](internal/reporttemplate.md).
-
-## Batch Command Returns Nonzero
-
-Symptom: `run morning` or `run evening` returns nonzero.
-
-Likely cause: weather collection failed before planning, or at least one
-planned report failed after planning succeeded, or every report succeeded but
-the top-level batch distributor notification failed.
-
-Diagnostic: if stdout contains a JSON summary, inspect each failed report item
-and the top-level `notification` object. Stderr includes one
-`batchNotification` line when batch notification is attempted, skipped, or
-fails. If no summary was emitted, inspect the command error; configuration,
-Weather API collection, or batch validation failed before any report artifacts
-were created.
-
-Safe fix: for collection failures, fix the configuration or upstream Weather
-API availability and rerun the batch. For report failures, use the failed
-report's artifact paths from the summary, then inspect metadata, sources,
-module snapshot, and data package for that RunID. For a batch notification
-failure, inspect the notification artifact path from the top-level
-`notification.path`.
-
-Relevant docs: [CLI reference](cli.md), [Operations guide](operations.md).
-
-## Batch Upload Skipped
-
-Symptom: a batch JSON summary contains
-`"notification":{"status":"skipped","reason":"one or more reports failed"}`.
-
-Likely cause: at least one planned report failed, so weatherreporter did not
-call distributor for the batch.
-
-Diagnostic: inspect the failed report items in the batch JSON summary and the
-matching stderr report lines. A skipped batch notification has no distributor
-run ID and no notification artifact path.
-
-Safe fix: fix the report-generation failure first, then rerun the batch. The
-batch upload is all-or-nothing.
-
-Relevant docs: [Operations guide](operations.md).
-
-## Batch Upload Fails
-
-Symptom: every report item in a batch summary is succeeded, but the batch
-returns nonzero and the top-level notification has `status: "failed"`.
-
-Likely cause: the distributor upload was rejected, the distributor service was
-unavailable, status polling reached a terminal distributor failure, or
-weatherreporter rejected the batch file mapping before upload.
-
-Diagnostic: inspect `notification.error`, `notification.pipelineId`,
-`notification.bundleId`, `notification.idempotencyKey`, and
-`notification.path` in stdout. Then inspect the notification artifact; it
-records included report source paths, bundle paths, upload status, distributor
-run status, status lookup error, and raw status report JSON when available.
-
-Safe fix: fix the endpoint, token, distributor pipeline, batch identity
-templates, or report path templates indicated by the error, then rerun the
-batch. Individual report artifacts from the failed batch notification remain
-available and do not need to be regenerated for diagnosis.
-
-Relevant docs: [Configuration reference](config.md),
-[Operations guide](operations.md).
-
-## Duplicate Batch Bundle Path
-
-Symptom: a batch returns nonzero with duplicate bundle path context before a
-distributor run ID is accepted.
-
-Likely cause: report-specific distributor path templates rendered the same
-bundle-relative path for two included reports in the same batch.
-
-Diagnostic: inspect the error in stdout or stderr. The validation error
-includes the duplicate bundle path plus the report IDs, RunIDs, and managed
-source paths involved.
-
-Safe fix: configure a per-report distributor path override so every report in a
-batch renders a unique path. Include values such as `{artifact_group}`,
-`{valid_start_date}`, `{batch_output_name}`, or `{run_id}` when needed.
-
-Relevant docs: [Configuration reference](config.md),
-[Operations guide](operations.md).
-
-## Distributor Source Conflict
-
-Symptom: distributor accepts or rejects an upload with conflict context for a
-source, destination, digest, or idempotency key.
-
-Likely cause: the rendered bundle ID or idempotency key does not match the
-intended producer identity. A bundle ID identifies the logical source stream;
-an idempotency key identifies a retry of the same upload request.
-
-Diagnostic: inspect the report notification artifact linked from metadata or
-the batch notification artifact linked from the top-level notification path.
-Compare the rendered pipeline ID, bundle ID, idempotency key, included source
-paths, and bundle paths with `notify.distributor.*` templates and distributor
-pipeline state.
-
-Safe fix: keep bundle ID templates stable for the source stream that should be
-updated, and keep idempotency keys stable only for retries of the same generated
-content. Do not reuse one idempotency key for different report or batch
-content.
-
-Relevant docs: [Operations guide](operations.md),
-[Distributor adapter internals](internal/distributor-adapter.md).
-
-## Invalid Secrets Directory
-
-Symptom: config loading fails with `read secrets directory`, `secret file`, or
-environment variable name context.
-
-Likely cause: `secrets.directory` points to a missing directory or contains an
-invalid entry. Secret entries must be regular files directly under the
-configured directory, and file basenames must match
-`[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*`.
-
-Diagnostic: list the configured directory and inspect entry names and file
-types. Do not print secret file contents.
-
-Safe fix: create the directory, remove subdirectories or symlinks, fix invalid
-filenames, and ensure the weatherreporter process can read each secret file.
-
-Relevant docs: [Configuration reference](config.md).
-
-## Distributor Token Is Missing
-
-Symptom: notification fails with a message that the distributor token
-environment variable is not set.
-
-Likely cause: `notify.distributor.enabled` is true, but the environment
-variable named by `notify.distributor.token_env` was not populated directly or
-through `secrets.directory`.
-
-Diagnostic: check `notify.distributor.token_env`, then verify a matching secret
-file exists under `secrets.directory` or that the process environment includes
-the variable. Do not print the token value.
-
-Safe fix: create a readable secret file whose basename matches `token_env`, or
-set the environment variable through the service manager.
-
-Relevant docs: [Configuration reference](config.md),
-[Operations guide](operations.md).
-
-## Distributor Upload Conflict
-
-Symptom: notification fails with idempotency conflict context.
-
-Likely cause: the same idempotency key was reused for different bundle content
-within the same distributor token and pipeline. By default the bundle ID is a
-stable report-stream identity and the idempotency key appends RunID.
-
-Diagnostic: inspect the failed batch JSON or stderr line for pipeline, bundle,
-and idempotency context. For batch commands, use the top-level notification
-object rather than per-report notification fields. Compare the configured
-templates with the report RunID or batch RunID and report path.
-
-Also inspect the notification artifact linked from metadata or from the
-top-level batch notification path. It records the rendered pipeline ID, bundle
-ID, idempotency key, upload result, distributor run status, status error, and
-raw run report JSON when available.
-
-Safe fix: keep idempotency templates stable for retries of the same generated
-report, but do not reuse the same rendered key for different generated report
-content.
-
-Relevant docs: [Operations guide](operations.md),
-[Distributor adapter internals](internal/distributor-adapter.md).
-
-## Distributor Upload Rejected
-
-Symptom: notification fails with distributor upload rejection, HTTP status, or
-bundle validation context.
-
-Likely cause: the distributor endpoint rejected the token, pipeline ID, bundle
-ID, idempotency key, source file, or one of the rendered bundle paths.
-
-Diagnostic: inspect stdout JSON or stderr status lines for
-`notificationError` or the top-level batch notification `error`. Confirm
-`notify.distributor.endpoint`,
-`notify.distributor.pipeline_id_template`,
-report-specific distributor paths, and token configuration. Token
-values are redacted from weatherreporter errors.
-
-If the upload was accepted but destination output did not change, inspect the
-notification artifact's `runStatus.report`. Distributor actions such as
-`replace_older`, `skip_same`, `skip_destination_newer`, or `failed` explain how
-the destination handled the uploaded bundle.
-
-Safe fix: fix the endpoint, token, templates, or distributor-side upload
-configuration. The weatherreporter upload source is the managed Markdown report,
-not `--out` or `--out-dir` copies.
-
-Relevant docs: [Configuration reference](config.md),
-[Operations guide](operations.md),
-[Distributor adapter internals](internal/distributor-adapter.md).
-
-## Distributor Unavailable
-
-Symptom: notification fails with network, timeout, or service unavailable
-context.
-
-Likely cause: the configured distributor endpoint is unreachable, slow, or
-temporarily unavailable.
-
-Diagnostic: check network access from the weatherreporter host to
-`notify.distributor.endpoint`. For batch runs, inspect the top-level
-notification object and the artifact linked by `notification.path`.
-
-Safe fix: restore distributor service availability and rerun the affected
-report or batch. Stable idempotency keys make retrying the same generated report
-safe unless the distributor reports a conflict.
-
-Relevant docs: [Operations guide](operations.md).
-
-## Unknown RunID
-
-Symptom: an inspect command fails with `metadata for run id ... was not found`.
-
-Likely cause: the RunID is mistyped or the command is reading a different
-workspace.
-
-Diagnostic:
-
-```sh
-weatherreporter inspect reports --config ./config.yml --limit 20
-```
-
-Safe fix: copy a RunID from `inspect reports`, or use the same `--config` and
-workspace that generated the report.
-
-Relevant docs: [Operations guide](operations.md).
-
-## Workspace Path Error
-
-Symptom: startup or inspection fails with workspace path validation or
-filesystem read/write context.
-
-Likely cause: a workspace subdirectory is absolute, escapes `workspace.root`, or
-the process cannot read or write the configured path.
-
-Diagnostic: review `workspace.root`, `workspace.snapshots_dir`,
-`workspace.reports_dir`, `workspace.data_packages_dir`, and
-`workspace.preflight_dir`.
-
-Safe fix: keep workspace subdirectories relative to `workspace.root`, and grant
-the process appropriate filesystem permissions.
-
-Relevant docs: [Configuration reference](config.md), [Operations guide](operations.md).
