+all, and `{ outcome: 'stale', document, stale }` keeps the Document and lists the positions of each
+change it does not hold and of each later change of a part an earlier one changes, such as a link
+inside a replaced section. A section need not be declared by the Document's MD Type to be replaced.
+A section or preamble replacement that would hide a section the Document carried behind a repeated,
+merged or fenced heading is refused as `overlapping-section` naming that section. A field change
+does not reformat the rest of the file: an inline value is replaced where it stands, and a value
+written after the key's line, an empty one or a block mapping or list, is written after the key's
+colon in its place. A field holds a `FrontmatterValue`: null, a string, a boolean, a finite number,
+a list without holes or a plain object of them, holding no cycle. `frontmatterValue(value)` is that
+test, and `apply` refuses any other value as `frontmatter-fence`; `equalValue(left, right)` compares
+two by value, whatever their key order, as `apply` compares a field with its prior.
+
+`Document.preamble` is a readonly string holding the exact source after frontmatter and before the
+first section heading the section parser recognizes, `''` when empty, whitespace, newlines, a
+leading H1 and any fenced text before the first section included. The closing frontmatter
+delimiter and its line ending belong to frontmatter: `bodyAfterFrontmatter(content)` is the exact
+source after them, the whole text when it opens no closed fence, and the preamble begins it.
+`headingLines(content, from, to)` reads each ATX heading outside a fence, by `level` and `name`.

-Span, and an input carrying no authored text divides into no Span at all. A
-Span's extent is the smallest range of the source that contains everything the
-Span covers, so it spans what the input excludes between two eligible pieces,
-and the extent addresses the authored source where the embedded text carries a
-repeated heading, an internal link's visible label, or a frontmatter value the
-author quoted. A Span divided out of one free-text field value addresses that
-whole value, because a YAML scalar's own positions are the only ones its source
-has, and a Span carrying part of one internal link's label addresses that whole
-link, because a cut never falls inside link syntax.
+`DivisionContext` is a `ProjectionContext` and one `budget`, the greatest number of characters a
+Span's embedded text may carry, counted the way JavaScript counts a string's length and not in the
+bytes the extent is measured in. No Span's text is ever longer than the budget. A bound cut never
+divides a character: where the budget ends between the two halves of a surrogate pair, the cut falls
+before the pair. A cut never falls inside link syntax either: it falls before an internal link, and
+a label longer than a whole piece's room is divided at the bound like any other text. The smallest
+budget is `2`, the length of one astral character; a budget that is not a whole number of at least
+`2` is refused with `division-budget` before any division. The budget is the caller's number alone:
+the model holds no tokenizer, counts nothing else, and refuses no input for being too long. A
+Document the caller supplies no definition for carries the same `unknown-type` refusal `project`
+returns.
+
+The division descends one level at a time, and only into the piece that does not fit: the whole
+input, a heading node, adjacent sibling nodes packed under one parent, adjacent blocks inside a
+node, sentences inside a block, and a bound cut inside a single sentence. A Span covers whole
+heading nodes or one contiguous piece inside a single node, never a partial node beside another. A
+Span that continues a node repeats that node's own heading line, projected like any other text and
+so carrying an internal link's label rather than its destination, and never an ancestor's heading,
+so renaming a heading costs what editing that heading's own body costs. A heading the budget cannot
+hold beside any text is not repeated, a continuation piece that begins with an astral character the
+room beside its heading cannot hold is carried without the heading, and a heading with no body of
+its own leads its first child node rather than standing as a Span of nothing but itself. Overlap
+exists at the sentence level alone, where each Span after the first repeats its predecessor's last
+sentence whenever the budget holds both; when it cannot hold both, the Span carries its own sentence
+alone. An untyped input arrives without a definition and descends the same ladder.
+
+Division is total: every authored character of the input belongs to at least one Span, and an input
+carrying no authored text divides into no Span at all. A Span's extent is the smallest range of the
+source that contains everything the Span covers, so it spans what the input excludes between two
+eligible pieces, and the extent addresses the authored source where the embedded text carries a
+repeated heading, an internal link's visible label, or a frontmatter value the author quoted. A Span
+divided out of one free-text field value addresses that whole value, because a YAML scalar's own
+positions are the only ones its source has, and a Span carrying part of one internal link's label
+addresses that whole link, because a cut never falls inside link syntax.
