-## Documentation
-
-This project is the authoritative source for gloo language documentation — not the `vaults/gloo` Obsidian vault, whose old `doc/` folder was renamed to `doc_deprecated/` and retired.
-
-- **Narrative reference** — `docs/*.md`, eleven flat files: `getting_started.md`, `application.md`, `language_objects.md`, `language_syntax.md`, `language_scripting.md`, `operators.md`, `iterators.md`, `objects.md`, `verbs.md`, `plugins.md`, `web_app.md`. Linked from the root `README.md`. Convention: no markdown link syntax between pages (plain-text pointers instead, e.g. "see Put" not `[Put](put.md)`) since these are read both on GitHub and in a terminal; `---` separates sections that came from different source material.
-- **Verb/object reference** — each verb (`lib/gloo/verbs/*.rb`) and object type (`lib/gloo/objs/**/*.rb`) class defines `self.doc_data` (name, shortcut, description, syntax, parameters, result, errors, examples, notes — see `lib/gloo/docs/doc_data.rb`), rendered by the in-app interactive help shell (`help`/`?`, see `lib/gloo/docs/help_shell.rb`). When adding or changing a verb or object type, add/update its `doc_data` too.
-- **Error handling** — report problems with `@engine.syntax_err` (couldn't be understood), `@engine.err` (understood, couldn't be done) or `@engine.warn` (done, but probably not what was meant); a question answered "no" is just a result. Never `@engine.log.error`/`log.warn` for these (scripts can't see them). "Not found" messages use `Gloo::Core::NotFound`. See `docs/language_syntax.md`, Errors and Warnings.
-- Core-lib gems (`gloo_core_libraries`) follow the same `doc_data` pattern for their own verbs/objects; a narrative `doc/` folder per gem is planned but not yet built.

-## Test Suites
-
-### Ruby unit tests — `test/`
-Run with: `rake test`
-
-File naming: `test/<area>/<name>_test.rb`
-Structure mirrors `lib/gloo/` — a test file per class/verb.
-
-```
-test/
-├── verbs/           One *_test.rb per verb
-├── objs/basic/      One *_test.rb per object type
-├── objs/ctrl/
-├── objs/dt/
-├── core/
-├── exec/
-├── expr/
-└── ...
-```
-
-Base classes: inherit from `GlooTest` (defined in `test/base_test.rb`).
-
-### Gloo integration tests — `test.gloo/`
-Written in gloo itself. Each file contains `[test]` objects with `on_test` scripts using `assert` and `refute`.
-
-Run with `ruby lib/run.rb --test --quiet <paths...>` — **not** `bundle exec` (the Gemfile doesn't carry `gloo-test` / `gloo-md` / the other core-lib gems, so `[test]` and `load lib` fail under bundler; plain `ruby` uses the system gem env where they're installed).
-
-- Interpreter suite only:
-  `ruby ~/dev/gloo/lib/run.rb --test --quiet ~/dev/gloo/test.gloo/`
-- Interpreter **plus** every extension and core library:
-  ```
-  ruby ~/dev/gloo/lib/run.rb --test --quiet \
-    ~/dev/gloo/test.gloo/ \
-    ~/gloo/extensions/{alert,beep,git,ruby,slack,stats,teams}/test/ \
-    ~/dev/gloo_core_libraries/gloo-{beep,cli,db,email,md,mysql,pg,sqlite,test,web,yaml}/test/
-  ```
-  (brace expansion is shell sugar for the full explicit path list)
-
-```
-test.gloo/
-├── basic.test.gloo
-├── dt/
-├── lang/
-├── math/
-├── objs/

-Test object pattern:
-```gloo
-tests [can] :
-  group [can] :

-      on_test [script] :
-        # ... setup ...
-        eval some.value = expected
-        assert "description of passing condition"
-```
-
-## Adding a Missing Unit Test
-
-1. Find the relevant `test/<area>/*_test.rb` file (or create one mirroring the `lib/` path)
-2. Inherit from `GlooTest`
-3. Run the full suite with `rake test` to verify nothing is broken
-4. Check `test.gloo/` to see if a corresponding gloo-level integration test is also needed

+```
+
+## Tests
+
+There are two automated suites. Run both when making a change, and add to both: a change to the interpreter gets a unit test and a gloo test.
+
+### Unit tests — `test/`
+
+Standard Ruby minitest tests. The layout mirrors `lib/gloo/`, one test file per class or verb: `test/<area>/<name>_test.rb`, for example `test/verbs/show_test.rb` for `lib/gloo/verbs/show.rb`. Test classes inherit from `GlooTest` (in `test/base_test.rb`).
+
+```
+rake test
+```
+
+### Gloo tests — `test.gloo/`
+
+Integration tests written in gloo itself, using the `[test]` object from the `gloo-test` core library. The suite also loads the `gloo-yaml` and `gloo-md` core libraries, so install all three first:
+
+```
+gem install gloo-test gloo-yaml gloo-md
+```
+
+Each `*.test.gloo` file holds `[test]` objects whose `on_test` script uses `assert` and `refute`:
+
+```gloo
+tests [can] :
+  group [can] :
+    my_test [test] :
+      description [string] : What this verifies
+      on_test [script] :
+        # ... setup ...
+        eval some.value = expected
+        assert "description of passing condition"
+```
+
+Run them with the interpreter in this repo, passing any mix of folders and single test files:
+
+```
+ruby lib/run.rb --test --quiet test.gloo/
+```
+
+Use plain `ruby`, not `bundle exec`. The Gemfile doesn't include `gloo-test` or the other core libraries, so under bundler the `[test]` type and any `load lib` in a test file can't be found. Plain `ruby` uses the installed gems. If one of the core libraries is missing, gloo runs `gem install` for it in the middle of the test run, which fails without a network connection.
+
+The same command runs the gloo tests of core libraries and extensions; add their `test/` folders to the list of paths.
+
+## Documentation
+
+The narrative documentation is the set of flat pages in `docs/`, linked from the README. Two conventions keep them readable both on GitHub and in a terminal:
+
+- No markdown links between pages. Refer to another page or section in plain text instead, for example "see Put" or "see Application, Help".
+- A `---` line separates sections that came from different source material.
+
+Reference documentation for each verb and object type lives in the code. Every verb (`lib/gloo/verbs/*.rb`) and object type (`lib/gloo/objs/**/*.rb`) defines `self.doc_data`, a hash of name, shortcut, description, syntax, parameters, result, errors, examples and notes (see `lib/gloo/docs/doc_data.rb`). It's rendered by the in-app help shell (`help` or `?`). When adding or changing a verb or object type, add or update its `doc_data` too.
+
+Core libraries follow the same `doc_data` pattern for their own verbs and objects.
+
+## Reporting Errors
+
+Gloo reports every problem in a way scripts can see (see Language, Syntax, Errors and Warnings). In the interpreter that means:
+
+- `@engine.syntax_err` — the command couldn't be understood.
+- `@engine.err` — the command was understood but couldn't be done.
+- `@engine.warn` — the command was done, but probably not the way it was meant.
+- A question whose answer is "no" is just a result, not an error.
+
+Don't use `@engine.log.error` or `@engine.log.warn` for these; they only write to the log, and scripts can't see them. Build "not found" messages with `Gloo::Core::NotFound` (for example `NotFound.object( name )`) so they always read the same way.
