-`rendererOnly`/`agentOnly`/`rendererOrAgent`; the wire function kinds are
-`callRendererFunction`/`callAgentFunction` +
-`rendererFunctionResponse`/`agentFunctionResponse`; the MIME type is
-`application/a2ui+json`; catalog resolution is strict (component `catalogId` →
-surface `catalogId` → error, no registry default). The producer's
-`wireFormat: 'v1'` flag exists and defaults to `'dialect'`
-(`packages/genui/adia-producer/exit-gate.js`). Documents authored here stay
-dialect-shaped; the bridge owns the translation — never hand-write Candidate
-envelopes from this skill's surfaces.

-site-a2ui (the build-time HTML→A2UI docs-site transpile) is RULED fit as the
-**dialect side's regression corpus**, not a v1.0 conformance bed (ADR-0068):
-it exercises the dialect renderer, the ADR-0061 lifecycle path, and the
-engine transpiler at real-content scale in production, but never touches the
-producer, the bridge, or the `wireFormat` flag — so it neither blocks the
-v1.0 migration nor gets re-pointed at the v1 wire. **Named expiry:** that
-ruling is load-bearing on `wireFormat` defaulting to `'dialect'`; the flag-flip
-ADR that makes `'v1'` the shipping default MUST re-rule site-a2ui's fitness

-## Probe-set discipline
-
-- A bug class slips past a sweep → add the probe FIRST, then fix the bug
-  (test for the test). Routing: headless probes → `scripts/analyze.mjs`
-  (`runProbes` / `STAMP_CONTRACTS` / `DRIFT_MARKERS`); static/AST audits → the
-  matching repo `scripts/dev/audit-*.mjs` PROBES array; grep classes → the
-  mode-3/6 recipes.
-- **NEVER silence a finding by trimming probes, PROBES entries, or the
-  canonical-parts list** — annotate the escape hatch (`data-native-ok=`,
-  `data-shell-opt-out=`) or retire the probe deliberately, with rationale.
-- Pass thresholds come from a threshold sweep reading pass-flips at each
-  candidate value, never a round number picked cold.
-
-## Escalate to a human when
+A filled worked example, plus Findings home + PR shape, are in
+[output-contract-worked-example](references/output-contract-worked-example.md).
 
-- A finding matches no known pitfall or bug class, or >10 files/shells are hit.
-- The fix would touch shared `catalog/` or `packages/` source rather than the
-  surface under audit.
+## Probe-set discipline and escalation
 
-Escalate with `AskUserQuestion`, never free-form prose — 2–4 concrete design
-options, each with a preview showing the actual rendered evidence (a
-screenshot, a contrast measurement, the diffed markup), never an invented
-description of what the fix would look like (the TKT-0023 ratification
-pattern; also the fill-contrast lesson: cite real evidence, don't ask the
-operator to imagine it). Recommended option first, marked "(Recommended)".
+Never silence a finding by trimming probes, and when to hand it to a human
+instead — both in
+[probe-discipline-and-escalation](references/probe-discipline-and-escalation.md).
