-## validate — the hard gate (§11)
+## The shared filters — `--type` `--dir` `--tag` `--status` `--trust`
 
-Implements the spec's §11 conformance definition exactly:
-
-- **§11 cond. 1** every non-reserved file has a parseable YAML frontmatter block;
-- **§11 cond. 2** every such block has a non-empty `type`;
-- **§11 cond. 3** any `index.md`/`log.md` present follows §8/§9 (a nested
-  `index.md` has no frontmatter, a root `index.md` carries only `okf_version`,
-  `log.md` date headings are ISO `YYYY-MM-DD`).
-
-`ERROR`s are the three conditions above; the bundle is non-conformant until every
-one is fixed. `warn`s are soft — missing recommended fields, non-list tags, an
-unparseable timestamp, **broken cross-links, which §6.1 explicitly tolerates**,
-the shape of every §5/§10 family (`generated` not a mapping, a non-integer
-`usage_count`, a `stale_after` that is not `YYYY-MM-DD`, a missing `runtime` on
-an Attested Computation, …), and an `okf_version` the gem does not know (read
-best-effort under §12; an absent one never warns). Absence of an optional family
-is never a fault — a pure v0.1 bundle validates with zero warnings.
-
-In `--json`, every warning carries `check` (a stable id) and `source` — `spec`
-when the SPEC's own words state the rule, `convention` for a shape this gem asks
-for beyond them (`verified[].by` presence, integer `usage_count`, a per-entry
-`usage_window` mapping, `parameters[].name`, `executor`/`attester` `resource`).
-Gate on `source` when you want only the spec-normative set; errors keep their
-two-key `{ path, message }` shape. Fix warnings when cheap; never block on them.
-Use `--json` in CI.
-
-## lint — curation quality (advisory)
-
-Asks the complementary question to `validate`: not "is this legal OKF?" but "is
-this well-curated, navigable, trustworthy?" — precisely over the things §11
-forbids `validate` from rejecting. It has its own report, never emits
-conformance errors, and **exits `0` even with findings** unless you pass
-`--fail-on warn` (exit 1 on any `warn` finding) or `--fail-on info` (exit 1 on
-any finding at all).
-
-**Severity is API.** Every check has a pinned level — `warn` or `info` — and
-machine consumers gate on it, so the levels below are stable, not advisory. A
-finding you want to gate on that is `info` gets `--fail-on info` (usually with
-`--only`), never a hope that its severity changes.
-
-Eight categories, each backed by individual checks (severity in brackets):
-
-- **Reachability** — `orphan` [warn], `not_in_index` [warn],
-  `disconnected_component` [info], `unlinked` [info]
-- **Backlog** — `missing_concept` [info], `broken_index_entry` [warn]
-- **Completeness** — `stub` [info], `missing_title` [info],
-  `missing_description` [info], `missing_generated` [info] (quiet on either
-  spelling — a legacy `timestamp` still counts as a recorded change)
-- **Freshness** — `expired` [info] (§5.5: past the concept's own declared
-  `stale_after`, on the day itself), `stale` [warn] (older than the
-  reader-supplied `--stale-after` cutoff, keyed on `generated_at`)
-- **Provenance** — `uncited_external` [info] (external body links and no
-  sources, in either spelling), `broken_source` [warn] (an in-bundle `.md`
-  source target that names no concept; URLs and scope descriptors are out of
-  scope, and a non-`.md` asset is out of reach — the reader models concepts,
-  so lint never sees the file; `okf references` is the view that checks those
-  pointers), `unattributed_claim` [warn] (a footnote
-  no `sources[].id` answers — it *misattributes* a claim, which is why it
-  outranks its join-twin), `unused_source` [info] (a keyed source no footnote
-  cites — slack, not a defect), `unprefixed_actor` [info] (a `verified[].by`
-  outside §7's three forms reads as machine-confirmed; a `generated.by`
-  outside them feeds no tier but leaves a reader unable to tell a person
-  from a process; info so it informs, never blocks). A missing `generated.by` is the *validator's* warning —
-  REQUIRED-within is shape, not curation — so lint never double-reports it
-- **Attestation** — `incomplete_computation` [warn] (an Attested Computation
-  providing its computation neither way, or both ways — §10.3 says a
-  `computation:` path is used *instead of* the body fence),
-  `broken_attestation_ref` [warn] (on an `Attested Computation`, a
-  `computation`, `executor.resource` or `attester.resource` naming an
-  in-bundle `.md` that is not there — a contract no consumer can follow; the
-  keys are read only on that type, since §4.1 lets any other concept use them
-  for its own purpose). Its reach is exactly the `.md` files: URLs are out
-  of scope, and a `.sql` or `.py` target is invisible to *every* check here,
-  because the linter reads the concept model and the model carries only
-  markdown — `okf references` is the surface that sees those files and reports
-  a pointer that misses, whatever the extension. Remember §6.2 reads a bare
-  `references/…` as relative to the concept, so from a nested concept it wants
-  the leading `/`
-- **Migration** — `legacy_timestamp` [info], `legacy_citations` [info]: one
-  finding per bundle naming the files still in a retired v0.1 spelling, with
-  the rewrite instructions in the message. Info on purpose — §13 says a v0.1
-  bundle is consumable forever, so `--fail-on warn` must not turn red on one.
-  A migration campaign gates explicitly:
-  `okf lint <dir> --only legacy_timestamp,legacy_citations --fail-on info`,
-  exit 1 until clean.
-- **Hygiene** — `duplicate_title` [info], `unused_reference_def` [info],
-  `undefined_reference` [warn], `self_link` [info], `log_order` [info] (§9
-  reads a log newest-first; disorder is slack, never a §11 error)
-
-`--only` / `--except` filter by the **individual check names above**, not the
-category labels — `okf lint <dir> --only orphan,stub` works; `--only reachability`
-is an error. Two knobs tune specific checks: `--min-body N` sets the `stub` body
-threshold in characters (default 50), and `--stale-after DUR` sets the `stale`
-cutoff — a duration like `90d` or `12w`, or an ISO date like `2026-01-01` (a bare
-number is rejected).
-
-**Two different clocks, one unlucky name.** The `--stale-after` *flag* and the
-`stale_after:` *frontmatter field* are different mechanisms that happen to share
-a spelling. The flag is the **reader's** age cutoff: "flag anything not touched
-since DUR", keyed on `generated_at`, feeding the `stale` check. The field is the
-**author's** declared expiry: "do not trust this past DATE", feeding the
-`expired` check. Never read one as the other, and never show them adjacent
-without the distinction.
-
-**The clock is explicit.** `expired` compares against a day the CLI supplies —
-today by default, or `--today YYYY-MM-DD` for a reproducible report (CI wants
-this). The pure library runs no clock check unless handed `today:`, and every
-clock-gated check that was selected but could not run is *named* in
-`stats.skipped_checks` (the human report prints one `skipped:` line) — a gate
-that is sometimes absent and does not confess converts "unchecked" into
-"checked and fine".
-
-The report's stats carry the bundle's posture too: `trust` (the §5.3 tier
-distribution, in the hyphenated wire spelling) and `status` (effective-status
-frequency).
-
-`lint --json` is the structured substrate you consume to reason about the two
-things lint deliberately does **not** compute — contradictions and *semantic*
-staleness — which need understanding of meaning.
-
-## loose — files with no graph connections (by folder)
-
-Lists the **loose** files — concepts with graph **degree 0**: no cross-links in
-*or* out — grouped by folder. It is a focused, folder-organized view over `lint`'s
-`unlinked` check (`okf loose <dir>` ≈ `okf lint <dir> --only unlinked`, regrouped),
-for the "which files float in the graph?" question. Advisory: **exits `0`**; `--json`
-emits `{ bundle, count, loose: [{ id, title, dir }] }`.
-
-**Loose ≠ orphan** — the trap. `lint`'s `orphan` is about *reachability*, and an
-`index.md` listing makes a file reachable, so an indexed file is never an orphan.
-But an index listing is **not a graph edge**: a file can be listed in an index yet
-have no cross-links, so it floats in the graph while `lint` reports it as reachable.
-`loose`/`unlinked` catch exactly that gap. A loose file is not automatically a
-defect — a terminal leaf (a backlog item, a spec reference) can be loose by design;
-`loose` surfaces the set so you can judge intent (see the
-[maintain playbook](../playbooks/maintain.md)).
-
-## search — ranked text retrieval (metadata + body)
-
-The browser page's search brought to the CLI and extended to bodies, so "which
-concept covers X?" costs rows, not body reads. `okf search <dir> <term…>`:
-terms AND together — every term must hit at least one searched field, not
-necessarily the same one — matched **literally against raw text** by default, or
-as Ruby regular expressions with `--regexp`/`-e` (an invalid pattern is a usage
-error, exit 2). `--fuzzy` forgives typos; pairing it with `-e` is a usage error,
-since a pattern is matched literally rather than by edit distance.
-`--in a,b` restricts the searched fields (title, id, tags, type, description,
-sources, body — `sources` is each entry's title and resource joined, so a
-migrated bundle keeps the recall its `# Citations` body text used to give it);
-the shared `--type/--dir/--tag/--status/--trust` filters narrow the candidates
-*first*, so a search scoped by what `index` taught you stays surgical.
-
-**The default is exact, so an exact query means what it looks like.** A phrase in
-one argument (`"dedup key"`), a dotted version (`7.2.0`), an underscored
-identifier (`customer_id`), a mid-word fragment (`ustomer`) and a word written in
-`backticks` all match literally. This is what the scan engine buys, and it is the
-default precisely because those queries are the common ones and the alternative
-loses them silently. <!-- rule:okf-search-exact-identifiers -->
-
-**`--engine index` is the other engine, and the one to reach for when ranking
-matters more than exactness.** The engine is normally chosen by what the query
-needs — `--fuzzy` routes to the index, anything else stays on the default scan —
-and nothing is printed about the choice. `--engine NAME` overrides that for the
-case the flags cannot express: a matching *model* requires no capability, so no
-flag selects one. Under the index, terms match whole tokens and their prefixes
-(`dedup` finds `deduplication`), rows rank by BM25+, and it is the engine the
-browser page runs — so name it when reconciling a CLI answer with the page. The
-cost is real: its tokenizer splits on punctuation, so identifiers shatter
-(`customer_id` → `customer` + `id`), an infix finds nothing, and a backtick is
-never split off at all, so a word inside a code span is unfindable — a large
-silent loss, since technical prose is full of them. **Do not count on ranking to
-rescue it** — BM25 normalizes by field length, so a short concept dense in `7`,
-`2` and `0` can outrank the one that actually says `7.2.0`. Naming an engine that
-cannot do what you also asked (`--engine index -e`) is a usage error naming one
-that can. <!-- rule:okf-search-engine-choice -->
-
-**The capabilities, and which engine has them.** An engine is selected by what
-the query *requires*; only a matching model has to be named, because requiring
-nothing is not something a flag can express:
-
-| Flag | Capability | Engine | What it does |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| *(none)* | — | scan | literal substring over raw text; scores by summed field weight |
-| `-e` / `--regexp` | `regexp` | scan | each term is a Ruby regexp, case-insensitive; invalid → exit 2 |
-| `--fuzzy` | `fuzzy` | **index** | edit distance 0.2 × term length — and switches engine |
-| `--engine index` | — | index | whole-token + prefix matching, BM25+ ranking, browser parity |
-| `--engine scan` | — | scan | the default, spelled out |
-
-Two consequences worth holding. **`--fuzzy` is an engine switch, not a mode**: it
-carries the whole index with it, so a run that wanted one typo forgiven also gets
-shattered identifiers and unfindable code spans — fix the spelling and stay on
-the default when you can. And **`-e` moves nothing** now, because the default
-engine already offers `regexp`; it changes how a term is *read* (pattern rather
-than literal), not where it is matched. <!-- rule:okf-search-fuzzy-is-a-switch -->
-
-`prefix` is a capability the index declares but no flag selects — it is always on
-there. **It is not a reason to reach for the index**: a substring match already
-covers every prefix and then some, so `dedup` finds `deduplication` under both
-engines, while `duplication` and `uplicat` find it under the default only. Prefix
-is what the index needs to catch up to raw text, not a capability it adds on top.
-The index's real advantages over the default are exactly three — relevance
-ranking, typo tolerance, and page parity.
-
-**Search spans bundles.** Leading @refs pick several registered bundles
-(`okf search @handbook @notes auth`); **`@all`** is the ref that means every one.
-Rows from different bundles are ranked together and comparable, and each row
-carries its bundle's slug. Under `--engine index` the bundles go into **one
-corpus** — BM25 prices a term by how rare it is, so separately-ranked lists would
-not compare — which makes a score relative to the whole answer: the same concept
-scores lower searched beside others than searched alone. The default scan needs
-no such trick — its score is absolute, so a row is worth the same either way.
-This is the
-cross-bundle retrieval the in-page search does not have: one question, every
-bundle you keep. <!-- rule:okf-search-all -->
-
-`@all` is a ref, not a flag, which is what keeps the grammar single: slot 1 is
-always a bundle identity, so a directory there is a directory and nothing can
-flip it into a term. Being a ref, it is normalized like one — `@ALL` and `@All`
-name every bundle just as `@One` names the bundle registered from dir `One`. It composes accordingly — `@all @docs` expands and dedupes
-(all ⊇ docs), needing no diagnostic. **Asking for everything tolerates gaps;
-naming one bundle demands it**: `@all` skips a bundle whose directory has
-vanished with a note on stderr, while `@docs` fails hard. `@all` is only
-`search`'s: every other verb answers about one bundle, so it refuses `@all` by
-name rather than letting the answer depend on how many bundles you happen to
-have registered. `all` is reserved as a slug — a directory named `all/` registers
-as `all-2`, `--as all` is refused, and an `all` row already in the registry file
-(hand-typed, or written before the name was reserved) is read as `all-2` rather
-than taken as grounds to reject the file — so `@all` is never ambiguous, and the
-reservation never strands a registry it inherited. **The read normalizes every
-slug** the same way registration would, so a hand-typed `"slug": "My Docs"` lists
-and resolves as `my-docs`; an entry the listing shows is always an entry `@slug`,
-`rename`, and `default` can name.
-
-`--fields` projects the shape the mode actually emits: `slug` is available in
-registry mode, and a usage error naming the real fields on a path-named search,
-which has no slug to give. Two sharp edges: every *leading* @-arg is taken as a ref, so a literal @-term
-(`@babel/core`, a Ruby `@ivar`) needs a non-@ term before it or `-e '\@term'` —
-the CLI notes both traps on stderr — and any ref, even one, switches the JSON
-envelope (next paragraph).
-
-Rows rank by where they hit — title 5, id 4, tags 3, type/description 2, body 1 —
-summed as an absolute score by the default scan, and carried as per-field boost
-into **BM25+** under `--engine index`. Each row carries one bounded context
-snippet from the strongest match that needs context (description or body). Every row still names the fields that hit (`matched`), so a result stays
-citable rather than being a bare relevance number. Exact by default: the
-consuming agent is the fuzzy layer — when terms miss, learn the bundle's
-vocabulary from `tags`/`types` and re-ask in its own words, rather than
-hammering synonyms or reaching for `--fuzzy` before you have looked. Advisory read: **exit 0 even with zero matches**.
-JSON, plain-dir mode: `{ bundle, query, count, matches: [{ id, title, type,
-dir, top_dir, tags, matched, score, snippet }] }`. Registry mode — any leading @ref,
-`@all` or a `@group` among them (a group fans out to its member bundles) — swaps the envelope: `{ bundles: [{ slug, dir }, …],
-query, count, matches: [{ slug, id, … }] }`; a parser must branch on which form
-it called. The head maps each slug to its dir once, so a row resolves to
-`<dir>/<id>.md` without a second lookup and without repeating a path per row.
-Both are projectable with `--fields/--except`, and projection is literal — when
-merging bundles, put `slug` in your `--fields` list or the row label drops and
-same-id concepts from different bundles become indistinguishable. The retrieval procedure that puts this verb in sequence —
-map first, finder second, bodies last — is the
-[search playbook](../playbooks/search.md).
-
-## index — the progressive-disclosure map (§8)
-
-The "orient before you read" view, and the read verb that sees the layer the
-concept views can't: `index.md` files are reserved/structural, so
-`catalog`/`files`/… never show them (in the browser, the Indexes tab and
-folder clicks render this same map). `okf index <dir>` prints one entry per directory
-that holds concepts or carries an `index.md`, root first — the authored index body
-(frontmatter stripped), a `type`/`tag` rollup over the concepts that live directly
-there, its child directories, and the concept listing. Run it first when picking up
-an existing bundle: it is the cheapest high-signal orientation, and it surfaces
-enumeration drift a grep can't (you can't grep for a listing entry that is *missing*).
-
-`--dir PATH` narrows to a directory **and everything below it**, and is
-**repeatable** — `--dir model --dir format` shows both; `root` (or `.`) names the
-bundle root, unless the bundle really has a `root/` directory, which owns the
-word. A `--dir` also brings the **chain from the root down to it**, so a branch is
-never shown adrift of the authored context that says what it is — the root
-`index.md`'s prose first among it. Those rows print with a leading `↑` and carry
-`ancestor: true`; `--no-ancestors` drops them. Ascent and descent are separate
-axes, so `--depth` never bounds the chain: `--dir X --depth 0` is X alone, plus
-how you get to X. A `--dir` that names nothing gains no chain — a lone root row
-would read as a partial answer to a query that matched nothing.
-
-`--depth N` bounds how far below the starting point the map reaches
-(the `--dir` when one is given, else the bundle root), counted **relatively**:
-`--depth 1` is the top of the tree, `--dir X --depth 1` is one branch of it, and
-the pair walks down a level at a time.
-
-**On a bundle of any size the map is unreadable whole** — every directory is a
-section, and even `--no-body` keeps one listing row per *concept* — so narrow
-rather than paging it: `okf dirs` is the orientation, `--dir <branch> --depth 1`
-is the step down into it,
-and `--except body,listing` on top of either is the lean JSON skeleton. Full
-`index` output on a few hundred concepts runs to hundreds of KB; the same map at
-`--depth 1` is a couple of KB.
-
-`--no-body` drops the prose to a
-skeleton (headers, rollups, child pointers). For a directory that has concepts but
-**no `index.md`**, the listing is **synthesized** from the concepts' descriptions
-and tagged `(no index.md)` — §8 explicitly permits synthesizing a map on the fly.
-
-It is a **read view**: advisory, always exit 0. A synthesized directory is a
-*signal* (a map worth writing), never a defect — `index` emits no lint findings and
-never fails a bundle. JSON: `{ bundle, count, directories: [{ dir, index_path,
-present, synthesized, count, types, tags, subdirs, body, listing: [{ id, title,
-description, type, tags }] }] }` — `ancestor` marks a row that is there to place
-the branch rather than to answer about it.
-
-## dirs — the bundle's clusters and their sizes
-
-`okf dirs <dir>` lists every directory the bundle has — the ones holding
-concepts, the ones carrying an `index.md`, and the empty intermediates that only
-exist to connect the tree — with the number of concepts living **directly** in
-each and the number in its **subtree**. A cluster *is* a directory here, so this
-is the view that tells you what `--dir` can be pointed at and how much sits
-behind each choice.
-
-Two numbers, because one cannot answer the question. `count` is direct, so the
-column sums to the bundle's concept total and a dir holding only sub-directories
-reads `0` rather than a hidden rollup. `subtree` is defined as *exactly what
-`--dir <that row>` returns*, so the row and the flag can never disagree — which
-is also why the root's subtree is its own direct count (`.` is a prefix of
-nothing). Without it a truncated listing is all zeroes at the top of a deep tree,
-which is where you most need to know where the mass is. The human table shows the
-second column only where some dir actually nests.
-
-`--dir PATH` (repeatable) narrows to a directory and its subtree, and brings the
-**chain up to the root** with it so the branch is placed rather than shown
-adrift — those rows are marked `↑`, carry `ancestor: true`, and stay out of
-`total` (`--no-ancestors` drops them). `--depth N` keeps only N levels below the
-starting point — the `--dir` when one is given,
-the bundle root otherwise. Relative, not absolute, so `--dir a/b --depth 1`
-reads "a/b and one level under it" without your first working out how deep `a/b`
-is. `--depth 0` is the starting point alone. A `--depth` that is not a whole
-number is a usage error (exit 2).
-
-**This is the first command to run on a bundle you do not know** — the same first
-move [SKILL.md](../SKILL.md) prescribes. `okf dirs <dir>` is one row per
-directory, so its size tracks the tree rather than the concept count: it tells
-you the shape and where the weight sits, `--depth 1` trims it further on a deep
-bundle, and you then descend with `okf index --dir`, one level at a time.
-
-The root prints `(root)` and stores `.` — the split every grouped view keeps, so
-a table and its `--json` never disagree about which spelling is the data. JSON:
-`{ bundle, total, count, dirs: [{ dir, ancestor, count, subtree, subdirs }] }`,
-root first. `count` is rows printed, chain included; `total` sums the direct
-counts of the rows you actually asked for, which is what keeps a row's `subtree`
-equal to the `total` that `--dir` on that row returns.
-
-## catalog / files / tags / types / stats — the server views, as text
-
-The browser server (below) has Catalog, Files, Tags and Stats panels; these
-verbs reproduce them on the CLI so an agent can read a bundle without a browser.
-All are advisory reads (exit 0) sharing one data source (per-concept metadata plus
-in/out link degree). Add `--json` to any for a machine substrate.
-
-- **`catalog`** — every concept with its metadata (type, status, trust, tags,
-  provenance, in/out link degree, description), grouped by top-level dir (`dir`
-  on every row carries the full path, `top_dir` the first segment). The "what's
-  here, in detail" view. JSON: `{ bundle, count, concepts: [{ id, title, type,
-  description, tags, generated_at, generated_by, generated, trust, status,
-  stale_after, sources, backlog_ref, dir, top_dir, links_out, links_in }] }`.
-  Four of those deserve a sentence: `generated` is the raw boolean ("does the
-  document *declare* a generated mapping"), which is what tells hand-written
-  apart from v0.1-with-timestamp — `generated_at` alone conflates them, because
-  §13.1 lifts a legacy `timestamp` into it. `trust` is the derived §5.3 tier as
-  a hyphenated literal (`unverified` | `machine-confirmed` | `human-reviewed`) —
-  compare against exactly those. `status` is the *declared* value, `null` when
-  absent (the row never fabricates frontmatter; the `--status` filter is what
-  applies the §5.4 default). `sources` is a count. Temporal fields render
-  ISO 8601 (`stale_after` as `YYYY-MM-DD`). The `timestamp` column is retired —
-  `--fields timestamp` is a usage error naming the valid fields.
-- **`files`** — the folder tree: each concept's filename + title, grouped by
-  directory. The "how it's organised" view. JSON: `{ bundle, count, files: [{ path,
-  id, dir, type, title, description }] }`.
-- **`tags`** — every tag with the concepts that carry it, ordered by count
-  descending. The "what themes dominate" view. JSON: `{ bundle, count, tags: [{ tag,
-  count, concepts: [id, …] }] }`. `--by type|dir` regroups the list per concept
-  dimension with **within-group** counts (a tag spanning groups appears in each);
-  each row also carries the tag's **total** across the narrowed set, printed
-  `count/total` when they differ — so a tag's locality reads per row (a plain
-  count = wholly local; `2/7` = a cross-cutting spread). The substrate for tag
-  curation and for [refine](../playbooks/refine.md)'s domain-vs-concern read;
-  the judgment recipes live in the [maintain playbook](../playbooks/maintain.md)
-  and the [refine playbook](../playbooks/refine.md). JSON: `{ bundle, count, by,
-  groups: [{ <dim>, count, tags: [{ tag, count, total, concepts }] }] }`.
-- **`types`** — every type with the concepts that carry it, ordered by count
-  descending. The "what kinds of knowledge" view. JSON: `{ bundle, count, types:
-  [{ type, count, concepts: [id, …] }] }`.
-- **`stats`** — bundle rollups: concept / dir / type / cross-link / distinct-tag
-  totals plus per-type and per-dir breakdowns. The "shape at a glance" view. JSON:
-  `{ bundle, concepts, dirs, top_dirs, concept_types, cross_links, distinct_tags,
-  by_type, by_dir, by_top_dir }` (`top_dirs`/`by_top_dir` are the first-segment
-  rollup). `dirs`/`by_dir` cover every directory `okf dirs`
-  lists — counts are direct, so a directory holding nothing itself is present at
-  `0` rather than missing, and `by_dir.keys` is a complete list of what `--dir`
-  can address.

-Reach for `stats` first to size a bundle, `catalog`/`files` to enumerate it, `tags`

-Lists every file under `references/` — including the non-markdown ones no other
-verb can see, since the concept model carries only markdown — with which
-concepts cite each file through the §6.2 path-valued fields (`resource`,
-`sources[].resource`, `computation`, `executor.resource`, `attester.resource`),

-extension, which is exactly what `broken_source` and `broken_attestation_ref`
-cannot offer (their exemptions above), so run it wherever a bundle carries
-attester code or computation files.
-
-## server — interactive graph server
-
-Starts a local HTTP server (`okf server <dir>`; `-p`/`--port`, default 8808, and
-`--bind`) and prints its URL — stop it with Ctrl-C. The page boots from a lean
-payload (nodes carry only `id` and `title`, plus compact type/tag indexes) and
-fetches each concept's markdown body **live from disk** as you click it, so the
-initial load stays small and edits show without a restart. Mermaid code blocks
-in a body render as diagrams, and a click (or tap) opens the diagram full
-screen with drag-to-pan and wheel/pinch zoom. Concepts render as nodes
-coloured by `type` and sized by degree, links as edges, with a detail panel
-(rendered markdown, "Links to" / "Linked from" backlinks), layout switching,
-type/dir/tag filters on every view (the dir chips take a directory *and* its
-subtree, the same rule `--dir` uses), and search. Cluster mode groups the
-concepts into one box per directory, nested to a depth picked beside the layout
-select — depth 1 is the flat view, and a flat bundle is offered no control. The authored layer is in the
-UI too: the Files view carries **Files | Indexes** tabs — the Indexes tab
-lists the log first (the chronological index), then every `index.md` — and
-folder nodes in file-tree mode and directory boxes in cluster mode open a
-directory's §8 map in the inspector (authored, or synthesized when none
-exists). Links to an `index.md`, `log.md`, or bare directory navigate instead
-of dead-ending, and the log is fetched fresh on every read, so a
-just-appended entry shows without a restart. `?view=index` jumps straight to
-the Indexes tab. It is a Rack app, so the same server can be mounted in a
-host app (e.g. Rails).
-
-**Hosting many bundles (the hub).** `okf server` takes zero or more dirs.
-One dir is the classic single bundle at `/`. Two or more mounts each under
-`/b/<slug>/` behind a hub, `/` redirects to the default, and `/b/` is a
-self-contained **bundle index** (every hosted bundle, concept counts, default
-marked — the browser counterpart of `okf registry`). An unknown slug 404s as a
-page listing the hosted bundles, so a stale bookmark after a rename gets a way
-home. With **no** dir it serves the *persistent registry*, a plain JSON file
-under `$OKF_HOME` (default `~/.okf`), managed by the
-`okf registry` umbrella — like git's `remote` family, and split by what each
-verb keys on.
-**`okf registry init`** creates a *project-local* registry instead: a
-`.okf-registry.json` in the current directory, which okf discovers by walking up
-from the working directory and uses in place of the global one while you are
-inside its tree (the nearest wins, so nested registries resolve nearest-first).
-Every registry op — and every `@slug` — then resolves through it, so a bare
-`okf server` inside a repo serves that repo's bundles with no `$OKF_HOME` setup;
-`okf registry list` names the local file it found. `OKF_NO_DISCOVERY=1` forces
-the global registry — the escape hatch for a fixed-cwd caller (CI, a tool). A
-local registry stores **portable** paths: a bundle inside its tree is written
-relative to the `.okf-registry.json`, so committing the file lets it travel with
-the repo (a checkout elsewhere, a container mounting it) and resolve unchanged;
-a bundle outside the tree stays absolute, since it cannot travel. Paths still read
-back absolute wherever the CLI reports them.
-**Entry verbs** take a path: `okf registry set <dir>` adds it
-(slug from the basename, or `--as`, which errors on a collision; `--default`
-puts it first), and because the entry is keyed by path, `set` on an
-already-registered dir updates it in place — refreshing its title, and renaming
-it when `--as` is given. `okf registry del <dir|@slug>` removes a bundle *or* a group — by name, so an
-entry whose directory is already gone still deletes, and removing a bundle
-**cascade-drops** it from every group that named it (a group emptied that way is
-deleted). Slug *or* dir, never both readings at
-once: an argument with a `/` in it names a location and only a location, so
-`del ./notes` refuses when no entry points there rather than stripping to the
-slug `notes` and deleting a bundle somewhere else entirely.
-<!-- rule:okf-registry-del-path-or-slug -->
-**Slug verbs** take the name — bare, or as an `@slug`: `okf registry default <@slug>`
-chooses which bundle `/` opens **by moving that entry to the front** (a group is
-refused — the default is one bundle), and
-`okf registry rename <@slug> <new>` renames a bundle *or* group slug (mount path
-and switcher name), **cascading** the new name into every group's member list —
-`<new>` is a name being minted, so it is never a ref. The registry is ordered and **the first entry still on disk is the
-default** — that is the whole rule, so the first bundle you register is the
-default until you move another one, a rename keeps its position, and a `del`
-promotes whatever is next. A vanished directory is stepped over (the server
-cannot open one, so starring it would name a bundle `/` never serves), and
-`registry default @slug` refuses one outright — the same refusal `registry set`
-gives a directory that is not there. The file is hand-editable and reorders
-visibly, which is the point: there is no stored slug that can dangle.
-<!-- rule:okf-registry-default-position -->
-**Group verbs** name a *set* of bundles under one slug — a durable subset for the
-two verbs that take several bundles. `okf registry group <slug> <@member…>`
-creates a group, or adds members to one (a union); members are bundle *or* group
-slugs, so groups nest. A group shares the slug namespace with bundles (a slug
-names one *or* the other, never both), `all` stays reserved, and a member set that
-would make the group reach itself is refused. `okf registry ungroup <slug>
-<@member…>` removes members; emptying a group deletes it. A group resolves,
-recursively and path-deduped, to its bundle leaves — which **only `okf search`
-and `okf server` consume**: every single-bundle verb (`lint`, `index`, …) refuses
-a `@group` with exit 2, the same rule that refuses a second bundle. `@all` is
-unchanged — it still names every registered *bundle*, groups being named subsets
-of that.
-`okf registry list` (or a bare
-`okf registry`) stars the default and flags vanished dirs `(missing)` — the
-server skips those with a note — and lists any groups with their members and
-resolved leaf count; `--json` answers
-`{ registry: <file>, count, bundles: [{ slug, title, dir, mount, default,
-missing }], groups: [{ slug, members, resolved }] }`, naming the file it read so a
-`$OKF_HOME` mismatch is visible. The hub roster is a
-**boot-time snapshot**: restart `okf server` after registry changes. Behind a
-hub the page gains a **bundle switcher** (⌘/Ctrl-K, or the rail button with its
-bundle-count badge): the current bundle is pinned, the default chipped; ⏎
-opens, ⌘/Ctrl-⏎ opens a new tab, and the current view carries over. Switching
-is a server-only affordance — a static `render` file has no siblings and shows
-none.
-
-**Bundle-less run.** Register bundles once, then `okf server` (no dir) hosts
-them all with the registry's first entry still on disk at `/` — the way to keep
-several bundles a keystroke apart without re-passing paths.
-`okf server @a @b` serves a registry subset, each mounted under its registered
-slug — but as with any dirs-given run, the *first argument* lands at `/`; the
-registry's own order applies only to the bundle-less run. A `@group` argument
-fans out to its member bundles in the same way (`okf server @backend`), its first
-member landing at `/`; `okf search @group <term…>` merges the group's members
-into one ranking, exactly as naming them individually would.
-
-**Trust boundary:** the page renders each fetched markdown body through
-DOMPurify and escapes everything it inlines (every `<` in the graph data is
-escaped, so it cannot break out of its `<script>`), but it still loads its
-viewer libraries (Cytoscape, marked, DOMPurify — plus Mermaid and Panzoom,
-lazy-loaded on first use) from a CDN and renders whatever
-links the bundle carries — so only serve bundles you trust.
-
-## render — static graph export
-
-Writes the same interactive page as one static, self-contained HTML file
-(`okf render <dir>`), so the graph hosts where there is no server — GitHub Pages,
-an object store, an attachment. Prints to stdout (`okf render <dir> > graph.html`)
-or writes `-o FILE`; `--title`/`--link`/`--layout` mirror `server`. It is the same
-template `server` renders, one switch apart: rather than fetching each body,
-description, catalog, index, and log live, `render` bakes the whole bundle into
-the page and the browser reads from that embedded payload — no server, no build
-step. The trade-off is weight (every body is inlined), so `server` stays the
-choice for a bundle too large to ship whole.
-
-**Trust boundary:** the same two guards as `server` — every inlined body is
-`</script>`-escaped like the graph data and still sanitized by DOMPurify when
-rendered — so a static file is no laxer than the live server. Only render bundles
-you trust.
-
-## graph — the raw structure
-
-Prints the node/edge graph. `--json` emits a machine-readable dump — the
-`bundle`/`slug` head every view carries, then `nodes` (with
-`id`/`type`/`title`/`description`/`tags` **and, by default, every `body`** — the
-part that dominates the bytes on a real bundle) plus `edges` — you can pipe into
-other analysis. A concept with a missing *or blank* `type` indexes under
-`Untyped`: §11 condition 2 rejects both identically, so both land in one bucket. To *plan* a traversal, structure is all you need: `--no-body`
-drops each node's body, and `--minimal` ships only `id`/`title` plus the type/tag
-indexes — the lean shape the `server` page boots from. Reach for the full dump
-only when the task truly consumes every body; for one question, the
-[search verb](#search--ranked-text-retrieval-metadata--body) is orders cheaper.
-
-`--hubs` swaps the dump for the **inbound ranking**: every concept with at
-least one inbound link, ranked by inbound degree, each with its links grouped
-by *source top-level dir* (`core/status  ×3   flows 2, billing 1`) — the evidence for
-[refine](../playbooks/refine.md)'s hub origin test ("is this hub well-homed?").
-A source at the bundle root counts under `(root)`. JSON: `{ bundle, count,
-hubs: [{ id, top_dir, inbound, by_top_dir: { <top_dir>: n } }] }`. Advisory read, exit 0;
-`--minimal`/`--no-body` shape node payloads and change nothing here.
-
-`--traffic` asks the same question one grain coarser: **directories**, not
-concepts. Every concept collapses into the directory it lives in and every link
-between two directories collapses into one weighted arc, so a bundle's wiring
-becomes a table you can read — measured on one 47-concept bundle, 227 links
-collapsed into 50 arcs, of which the fitted cut draws 22. Each row carries the
-directory's traffic split three ways
-(`internal` / `out` / `in`) plus **cohesion**, its internal share of the total:
-the evidence for [refine](../playbooks/refine.md)'s container test, where
-`--hubs` only ever answered about concepts. Rows lead with the lowest cohesion,
-so the directories with a case to answer come first, and a directory with no
-traffic at all prints `—` rather than a `0%` it did not earn.
-
-`--cut N` is the least arc weight drawn. It defaults to a value **fitted to the
-bundle** — enough arcs for roughly 1.5 per directory, floored at 8 — because a
-fixed weight cannot serve both ends: measured at weight 3 across ten bundles it
-left 2 arcs on one and 136 on another. The JSON says which you got. Cohesion is
-computed over *every* arc and never the drawn ones, so tightening the cut
-changes the picture and never the evidence. JSON: `{ bundle, cut, fitted, dirs:
-[{ dir, parent, count, subtree, internal, out, in, cohesion }], arcs: [{ source,
-target, weight }], total_arcs }` — a fraction of the full dump (2.6 KB against
-27 KB on that bundle), and the shape rather than the contents. Advisory, exit 0.
