-## What This Package Does
-
-Converts text/markdown edits into valid Office Open XML (OOXML) with Word-native tracked changes. Feed it original OOXML + desired text and it returns OOXML with `w:ins`/`w:del` revision markup.
-
-## Conceptual Model
-
-```
-Input: (paragraph OOXML, original text, modified text, options)
-  |
-  v
-Engine routes to: format-only | surgical | reconstruction | list | table mode
-  |
-  v
-Output: { oxml: string, hasChanges: boolean, status?: string, error?: object, warnings?: string[] }
-```
-
-The engine usually works at paragraph/range/table scope. For full-document
-operations, use the standalone operation runner so the result is safe to write
-back to `word/document.xml`.
-
-## Entry Point
-
-```js
-import { applyRedlineToOxml, configureXmlProvider } from '@ansonlai/docx-redline-js';
-```
-
-`index.js` is the single package entry point.
-
-## Required Setup (Node.js only)
-
-```js
-import { DOMParser, XMLSerializer } from '@xmldom/xmldom';
-configureXmlProvider({ DOMParser, XMLSerializer });
-```
-
-Browsers have native DOM APIs, so no provider injection is typically needed.
-
-## Key APIs by Use Case
-
-### Apply a text edit with tracked changes
-
-```js
-const result = await applyRedlineToOxml(oxml, originalText, modifiedText, {
-  generateRedlines: true,
-  author: 'Agent Name'
-});
-```
-
-`existingRevisions` defaults to `'merge-same-author'`. When a target paragraph
-contains tracked changes from the same author, prior revisions by that author are
-reverted to the pre-revision baseline and re-diffed to the new text, cleanly
-merging the edits without accumulating intermediate revisions or nesting markup.
-If the paragraph contains revisions from a different reviewer, the edit fails
-with `EXISTING_REVISIONS` to safeguard third-party marks. Pass
-`existingRevisions: 'slice-cross-author'` (or `--existing-revisions slice-cross-author`)
-to preserve the other reviewer's attribution while applying Word-native
-insertions and deletions inside their pending insertion. Pass
-`existingRevisions: 'accept-all-first'` (or `--existing-revisions accept-all-first`
-via CLI) to normalize all prior revisions first, or `'reject-input'` to refuse any
-paragraph with open revisions. Use `'accept-all-first-keep-normalized'` only when
-accepted revisions should be returned as a real change even on a no-op edit.
-Same-author merging also fails with `COMMENTED_CONTENT_MERGE` when the revised
-paragraph contains comment anchors, because reverting the prior revision could
-remove or orphan those comments. Resolve the comments before re-editing.
-
-### Apply a text edit without tracked changes (Direct Edits)
-
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> **Tracked redlines are not always the preferred method.** When finalizing execution copies of contracts, restructuring documents, correcting minor typos, or whenever the user specifically desires clean document text without tracked changes markup clutter, pass `generateRedlines: false` (or `--no-redlines` via CLI).
-
-```js
-const result = await applyRedlineToOxml(oxml, originalText, modifiedText, {
-  generateRedlines: false
-});
-```
-
-### Convert OOXML to readable text or markdown
-
-```js
-import { ingestWordOoxmlToPlainText, ingestWordOoxmlToMarkdown } from '@ansonlai/docx-redline-js';
-const plainText = ingestWordOoxmlToPlainText(documentXml);
-const markdown = ingestWordOoxmlToMarkdown(documentXml);
-```
-
-### Add a comment to OOXML
-
-```js
-import { injectCommentsIntoOoxml } from '@ansonlai/docx-redline-js';
-const result = injectCommentsIntoOoxml(paragraphOoxml, [
-  {
-    paragraphIndex: 1,
-    textToFind: 'force majeure',
-    commentContent: 'Review this clause'
-  }
-], { author: 'Agent' });
-```
-
-`paragraphIndex` is 1-based within the supplied OOXML payload. The comment
-author belongs in the options object and applies to the injected comments.
-
-### Accept tracked changes from one user (or all users)
-
-```js
-import { acceptTrackedChangesInOoxml } from '@ansonlai/docx-redline-js';
-const acceptedMine = acceptTrackedChangesInOoxml(documentXml, { author: 'Agent' });
-const acceptedAll = acceptTrackedChangesInOoxml(documentXml, { allAuthors: true });
-```
-
-### Reject tracked changes from one user (or all users)
-
-```js
-import { rejectTrackedChangesInOoxml } from '@ansonlai/docx-redline-js';
-const rejectedMine = rejectTrackedChangesInOoxml(documentXml, { author: 'Agent' });
-const rejectedAll = rejectTrackedChangesInOoxml(documentXml, { allAuthors: true });
-```
-
-Move revisions are consumed too: accept removes `w:moveFrom` and unwraps
-`w:moveTo`; reject unwraps `w:moveFrom` and removes `w:moveTo`.
-
-### Delete comments from one user (or all users)
-
-```js
-import { deleteCommentsByAuthorInOoxml } from '@ansonlai/docx-redline-js';
-const removedMine = deleteCommentsByAuthorInOoxml(packageOrDocumentOoxml, { author: 'Agent' });
-const removedAll = deleteCommentsByAuthorInOoxml(packageOrDocumentOoxml, { allAuthors: true });
-```
-
-### Apply multiple operations to full document XML
-
-```js
-import {
-  applyOperationToDocumentXml,
-  applyOperationsToDocumentXml
-} from '@ansonlai/docx-redline-js/standalone-runner';
-
-const result = await applyOperationsToDocumentXml(documentXml, operations, 'Agent', runtimeContext, options);
-```
-
-The operation runner uses these field names:
-
-```js
-const operations = [
-  { type: 'redline', target: 'Old paragraph text', modified: 'New paragraph text', targetRef: 12 },
-  { type: 'comment', target: 'Paragraph text', textToComment: 'anchor text', commentContent: 'Comment body', targetRef: 18 },
-  { type: 'highlight', target: 'Paragraph text', textToHighlight: 'anchor text', color: 'yellow', targetRef: 24 }
-];
-```

-To counterpropose text for a paragraph wholly deleted by another reviewer,
-use explicit restoration intent. A normal `redline` remains fail-closed with
-`FOREIGN_PARAGRAPH_MARK_DELETION`:
+Open the full [Agent Knowledge Base](docs/AGENT_KNOWLEDGE_BASE.md) only for the
+specific advanced operation, API, or recovery topic you need.
 
-```js
-const restoration = {
-  type: 'restore',
-  target: { paragraphId: '1A2B3C4D', revisionView: 'rejected' },
-  modified: 'Restored or adjusted paragraph text.',
-  author: 'Editor'
-};
+## Ordinary document edits
+
+Use one focused extraction and one apply call. With a structured wrapper, use
+its revision-bound target handles. For shell-only work, use a UTF-8 operations
+file or serializer-backed stdin and the explicit agent profile:
+
+```bash
+docx-redline extract contract.docx --search "termination" --around 3
+node emit-operations.mjs | docx-redline apply contract.docx --operations - --profile agent --compact --output reviewed.docx
 ```
 
-For a contiguous range, provide `targetEnd`/`targetEndRef` and one string per
-source paragraph in `modified`. Restoration always uses tracked changes,
-preserves the deleted source paragraph, and inserts the counterproposal after
-the complete deleted source block with a fresh paragraph ID. Unchanged
-pre-existing validation defects remain baseline diagnostics; a restore fails
-with `GENERATED_OOXML_INVALID` only when it introduces a new validation error.
+For every ordinary text operation, `modified` is the complete desired
+accepted-view content. Copy inspected `exactText` verbatim and include
+`paragraphId` or `fingerprint`. Independent strong targets are bound against the
+batch-start document, so do not manually sort around structural edits.
+Consolidate incompatible writes to the same source; use captures for intentional
+created-content dependencies.
+
+Require `completion: true`, `written: true`, a non-null output path, and no
+per-operation errors. Follow `error.recovery.action` and `retryPlan`; never retry
+unchanged failed arguments. Do not accept/reject another reviewer's work or
+remove comments without explicit user authorization. The source is never
+overwritten unless `--in-place` is explicit.
 
-To insert run-level text inside content visible only in the rejected view, use
-an explicit rejected-view `insert` operation:
+The agent profile preserves progressive execution and the ordinary revision
+policy. Add `--atomic` or `--existing-revisions slice-cross-author` only when
+that policy is intended, and confirm the resolved `effectiveOptions`.
 
-```js
-const insertion = {
-  type: 'insert',
-  target: { paragraphId: '1A2B3C4D', revisionView: 'rejected' },
-  anchor: { exactText: 'must pay', occurrence: 1, offset: 5 },
-  modified: '[clarification] ',
-  author: 'Editor',
-  existingRevisions: 'slice-cross-author'
-};
+Advanced restore, rejected-view insertion, list, table, formatting, comments,
+revision policies, and failure examples live in the
+[knowledge base](docs/AGENT_KNOWLEDGE_BASE.md#agent-document-workflow-cli) and
+[operation schema](docs/schemas/document-operations.schema.json).
+
+## Thin wrappers
+
+Wrap the CLI for shell hosts or `openDocx` from
+`@ansonlai/docx-redline-js/node` for byte-oriented Node hosts. A wrapper should
+inspect, translate narrow ergonomic inputs into canonical operations, call the
+facade once, and return its structured result. Do not reproduce ZIP handling,
+targeting, revision allocation, comments, numbering, validation, or rollback.
+
+The stateful wrapper in `examples/agent-session-wrapper.mjs` is a testable
+development demonstration only. It is excluded from package files and exports.
+Production harnesses own their transport and negotiate the minimum CLI
+`contractVersion`/capabilities they use.
+

-The anchor offset is relative to `anchor.exactText`. Repeated anchors require an
-explicit `occurrence`. The engine preserves the foreign deletion as sibling
-`w:del` carriers around a top-level `w:ins`; unsupported comments, bookmarks,
-fields, hyperlinks, moves, or non-text split boundaries fail closed.
-
-`targetRef` is an optional 1-based paragraph reference used to disambiguate
-duplicate text. An operation-level `author` overrides the batch author; batch
-results report both `authorUsed` per item and the aggregate `authorsUsed` list.
-
-For safer targeting, `target` may be a descriptor:
-
-```js
-{
-  type: 'replace',
-  target: {
-    exactText: 'Repeated paragraph text',
-    paragraphId: '1A2B3C4D', // when present in the source OOXML
-    index: 12,
-    occurrence: 2,
-    inTable: false,
-    fingerprint: 'fnv1a32:...'
-  },
-  modified: 'Replacement text',
-  author: 'Editor'
-}
-```
-
-Call `preflightOperations(documentXml, operations, author)` when you want a
-read-only inspection of an agent-generated batch before applying it. Preflight is
-read-only and strict by default: duplicate exact text returns `AMBIGUOUS_TARGET`,
-approximate text is not selected, and the result reports candidate targets,
-missing anchors, existing revisions, authors, required artifacts, and
-same-paragraph conflicts. For direct execution, `applyOperationsToDocumentXml` is
-already transactional and atomic by default. When permissive resolution
-encounters duplicate candidate paragraphs, it emits an
-`AMBIGUOUS_TARGET_HEURISTIC_USED` warning; migrate to `{ strictTargets: true }`
-with strict descriptors (`paragraphId`, `index`, `occurrence`, or `fingerprint`)
-before v1.0.0.
-
-Whole-paragraph deletions targeting paragraphs with existing comments fail with
-`COMMENTED_CONTENT_DELETE`. Resolve or remove the comments first.
-
-Use `result.documentXml` from these APIs when replacing full `word/document.xml`.
-For mixed batches, prefer `applyOperationsToDocumentXml(...)`; it applies comments
-before replacements so earlier edits cannot invalidate their anchors.
-
-Batches default to `atomic: false` for maximum speed and progressive execution: valid operations are applied directly, while problematic operations report structured errors in `results` (with `continueOnError: true` by default).
-
-When all-or-nothing transactional protection is desired (e.g. in high-stakes legal contracts, large automated migrations, or strict CI pipelines where partial edits are inadmissible), pass `{ atomic: true }` (or `--atomic` on the CLI). In atomic mode, if any operation fails or yields invalid markup, the entire batch is rolled back to the original untouched document (`rolledBack: true`, `hasChanges: false`, `documentXml: original`).
-
-Internally, a batch uses one live document DOM and one revision allocator, then
-serializes the full document once. Every operation has a DOM/allocator savepoint;
-do not remove this isolation merely for speed. Redline accuracy, accepted and
-rejected text, and exact rollback take precedence over throughput.
-
-Every operation produces a commit-aware `receipt` (and batch-level `receipts`)
-enumerating exact allocated `revisionItems`, `commentIds`, `numberingIds`,
-`relationshipIds`, `affectedTargets`, and `warnings`. The output reconciliation
-oracle (`reconcileReceiptsAgainstOutput`) validates that all reported durable IDs
-are present in the serialized output; any discrepancy triggers rollback and fails closed.
-
-Always inspect `status` and `error`, not only `hasChanges`. A failed transform
-can return `{ hasChanges: false, status: 'error', error: ... }`. Missing or
-ambiguous comment anchors are structured errors and roll back atomic batches;
-`no_change` is reserved for genuine no-ops. Continue to inspect warnings for
-non-fatal diagnostics.
-
-### Detect existing tracked changes
-
-```js
-import { containsTrackedChanges } from '@ansonlai/docx-redline-js';
-const hasTrackedChanges = containsTrackedChanges(xmlDoc);
-```
-
-### Inspect document parts before editing
-
-```js
-import { inspectDocumentParts } from '@ansonlai/docx-redline-js';
-const inspection = inspectDocumentParts({ documentXml, commentsXml, numberingXml });
-```
-
-Reuse `exactText` plus `paragraphId` or `fingerprint` in an operation. Computed
-list labels and excerpts are for display, not replacements for exact targets.
-
-### Safely edit a complete DOCX in Node
-
-```js
-import { openDocx } from '@ansonlai/docx-redline-js/node';
-const document = openDocx(inputBuffer);
-const result = await document.applyOperations(operations, {
-  author: 'Agent', atomic: true, validate: true
-});
-if (!result.written) throw new Error(result.error?.message || 'No output written');
-const outputBuffer = result.toBuffer();
-```
-
-This facade defaults to strict targets, allocates package-safe comment IDs,
-merges numbering, updates relationships/content types, and rolls back to the
-original buffer when an atomic transaction fails.
-
-### Agent Document Workflow (CLI)
-
-Use the `docx-redline` CLI for complete `.docx` files. It emits JSON on stdout,
-keeps exact text intact, and never overwrites the source unless `--in-place` is
-explicitly supplied.
-
-#### Standard Workflow (Fast & Direct)
-
-Use this for everything by default. `apply` is fast, progressive, and self-validating by default—it validates the resulting package and revision markup internally before writing. **Do not insert a `preflight` or baseline `validate` step on top of it "to be safe"**; `apply` already covers that internally. It supports inline one-liners as well as batch operations files:
-
-```bash
-# 1. Inline one-liner edit (fastest for 1–2 edits; no JSON file needed)
-docx-redline apply contract.docx --target "Original clause" --modified "New clause" --output reviewed.docx
-
-# 2. Direct edit without tracked changes (clean text, no revision clutter)
-docx-redline apply contract.docx --target "Typo fix" --modified "Fixed typo" --no-redlines --output clean.docx
-
-# 3. Cross-author edit inside another reviewer's pending insertion
-docx-redline apply contract.docx --target "Pending clause text" --modified "Updated clause text" --existing-revisions slice-cross-author --output reviewed.docx
-
-# 4. Batch operations with ops.json
-docx-redline apply contract.docx --operations operations.json --output reviewed.docx
-```
-
-Key CLI defaults and behaviors:
-- **Author**: Automatically defaults to `'AI Redliner'` (overridable via `--author` or `DOCX_REDLINE_AUTHOR` environment variable).
-- **Existing revisions**: Defaults to `'merge-same-author'`. Pass `--existing-revisions slice-cross-author` to edit inside another reviewer's pending insertions with native carrier slicing.
-- **Overwrite behavior**: Destination files provided via `--output` overwrite by default. To protect existing destination files, pass `--no-overwrite` or `--no-clobber`. The source document is never overwritten unless `--in-place` is specified.
-- **Tracked changes**: Defaults to `generateRedlines: true`. When clean direct text is needed, pass `--no-redlines`.
-- **Atomic rollback (optional)**: Operations apply progressively by default (`atomic: false`). For all-or-nothing transactional rollback where any error halts and reverts all changes, pass `--atomic`.
-- **Compact mutation JSON**: `apply`, `accept`, `reject`, and `delete-comments` omit document/package XML and full validation arrays. `validation.originalIssues` and `validation.generatedIssues` are code/count summaries; run `validate` for full issue records.
-- Check `completion: true`, `written: true`, and a non-null `outputPath` on stdout. `completion` is derived from the write result, top-level status, and every operation status, so failed, partial, and unwritten work cannot appear complete. If an error occurs, inspect `error.code` or `results[i].error.code` (e.g. `TARGET_NOT_FOUND`, `ANCHOR_NOT_FOUND`) before correcting the cause and re-applying.
-
-For multi-clause or multi-page reviews, apply edits **section-by-section** or clause-by-clause (e.g., using `--in-place` on a working copy) rather than bundling dozens of edits into one massive batch. This keeps context compact, simplifies error diagnosis, and prevents cascading anchor drift.
-
-#### High-Assurance / Staged Verification Workflow (Optional)
-
-This is an opt-in, higher-latency path for cases like large automated batch
-migrations or workflows where the user specifically requests a non-mutating dry run
-and an independent baseline audit report. **Never switch into it on your own initiative**
-(not even for "high-stakes" contracts); unless the user explicitly requests it, stick with the
-Standard workflow above. Use the extended verification cycle:
-
-```bash
-docx-redline inspect contract.docx --non-empty
-docx-redline extract contract.docx --range 10:30 > paragraphs.json
-docx-redline preflight contract.docx --operations operations.json --author "Editor"
-docx-redline apply contract.docx --operations operations.json --author "Editor" --output reviewed.docx
-docx-redline validate reviewed.docx --baseline contract.docx
-```
-
-Copy `exactText`, `paragraphId`, and `fingerprint` from `extract` into operation
-targets. For most unique clauses, `"target": "exact paragraph text"` is
-sufficient; use discriminators (`paragraphId`, `fingerprint`, `index`, or
-`occurrence`) when duplicate paragraph text appears in the document. Never
-normalize or reconstruct `exactText`. Operation files follow
-[`docs/schemas/document-operations.schema.json`](docs/schemas/document-operations.schema.json).
-
-#### Commands
-
-- `inspect` returns the structured inventory, comments, authors, and counts.
-- `extract` returns a compact target inventory with exact text.
-- `preflight` checks targets, anchors, revisions, conflicts, authors, and needed artifacts without mutation (read-only).
-- `apply` applies an operation file transactionally with automatic rollback and internal markup validation.
-- `accept` and `reject` resolve revisions selected by `--author` or `--all-authors`.
-- `delete-comments` removes matching definitions and document anchors together.
-- A whole-paragraph delete stops with `COMMENTED_CONTENT_DELETE` when the
-  paragraph has an existing comment. Surface the returned reviewer and comment
-  text for human follow-up; do not silently convert this into comment removal.
-- `validate` audits revision markup and DOCX package wiring, optionally comparing against a `--baseline`.
-
-Paragraph indexes are 1-based. Inspection filters are `--index 12`,
-`--range 10:30`, `--indexes 2,5,8`, `--search text`, `--revised`, `--table`,
-`--body`, `--non-empty`, and `--view accepted|rejected|current`. A malformed
-filter or unknown option is an error rather than an unfiltered fallback.
-
-Mutating commands require `--author`, authors on every operation, or
-`--all-authors` where applicable. Without `--output`, a sibling such as
-`contract.redlined.docx` is chosen. Existing outputs are refused unless
-`--force` is present. `--in-place` is the only way to overwrite the input.
-
-Treat a nonzero exit code or JSON `status: "error"` as failure. A failed atomic
-operation reports `written: false` and does not write an output file.
-Missing or repeated comment anchors are errors rather than no-ops. Explicit
-anchors match exact text first and then a unique ordinary-space/NBSP equivalent;
-omit `textToComment` to comment the entire resolved paragraph.
-
-To reply inside an existing Word comment thread, use the comment ID returned by
-`inspect` and do not supply a paragraph target:
-
-```json
-{ "type": "comment_reply", "parentCommentId": "8", "commentContent": "Agreed; updated.", "author": "Editor" }
-```
-
-Replies are represented in `word/commentsExtended.xml` and deliberately add no
-new `commentRangeStart`, `commentRangeEnd`, or `commentReference` to the body.
-
-#### Legacy skill wrapper migration
-
-Older skills that invoke `scripts/extract_text.mjs` and
-`scripts/apply_changes.mjs` should use the compatibility entrypoints published
-with this package rather than carrying copied targeting or ZIP logic. The
-legacy positional apply form remains supported:
-
-```bash
-node scripts/apply_changes.mjs input.docx changes.json output.docx --author "Editor"
-```
-
-Operation files may contain an array, an `operations` array, or a legacy
-`changes` array. The wrapper delegates to the same strict, atomic, validated
-CLI described above. If `--author` and operation authors are absent, its
-compatibility fallback is `DOCX_REDLINE_AUTHOR` and then `Agent`. Consumers
-must use the JSON status and process exit code; failed atomic work has
-`written: false`, `outputPath: null`, and does not modify the output path.
-
-#### Safe Operations File Creation (JSON vs. Shell Heredocs)
-
-When composing batch operations files (`operations.json`):
-
-- **Use structured file-writing tools or JSON serializers**: Write operations files via your environment's file-creation tools or a language JSON serializer (`JSON.stringify`).
-- **Never compose operations in raw shell heredocs** (e.g., `cat << 'EOF'` in bash or PowerShell `@" ... "@`): Legal clauses routinely contain curly quotes (`“ ”`), smart apostrophes (`’`), em-dashes (`—`), section symbols (`§`), non-breaking spaces, and backslashes. Shell heredocs frequently mangle Unicode character encodings, quote escaping, and whitespace formatting, causing immediate `TARGET_NOT_FOUND` failures.
-
-#### Walking Progressive Batch Results (Status & Partial Execution)
-
-In default progressive mode (`atomic: false`), operations execute independently: valid operations commit to the document while failing operations report errors without aborting the batch:
-
-- **Do not rely solely on top-level `written: true` or `status !== "error"`**: A progressive batch can return `status: "partial"` with `written: true` when some operations succeed and others fail.
-- **Walk every entry in `results`**: Check `results[i].status` and `results[i].error`. Any `status: "error"` entry in `results` represents an unapplied change that must be investigated and resolved.
-- **`written: false`**: Indicates that zero operations were committed (or an atomic rollback occurred). Never treat or present an unwritten or partial output file as complete.
-
-#### Human-Readable References vs. Internal Machine Handles
-
-Target handles such as `ref` (`P<index>`), `targetRef`, and bare paragraph `index` numbers are **strictly internal machine handles** for the CLI and engine. They do not correspond to any visual or followable marker in Microsoft Word:
-
-- **Never surface `P11`, `P42`, or bare paragraph numbers** in user-facing prose, comments, redline summaries, or negotiation notes.
-- Instead, cite locations using the human-readable fields provided by `inspect` / `extract`:
-  - **`provision`**: Lead with section/clause numbers when present (e.g., `§14.1 Entire Agreement`).
-  - **`nearestHeading` + ordinal offset**: When `provision` is absent, describe position relative to the nearest heading (e.g., `under "Limitation of Liability", 2nd paragraph`).
-  - **Structural context**: For unnumbered clauses prior to the first heading, use plain language (e.g., `opening recital, before Section 1`).
-  - **`humanReference`**: Use the pre-joined citation string provided directly on inspected paragraph objects.
-
-#### Actionable Error Recovery Matrix
-
-When the CLI or runner returns an error code, follow these specific recovery actions:
-
-| Error Code | Meaning | Actionable Recovery |
-|---|---|---|
-| `TARGET_NOT_FOUND` | Target text did not match any paragraph. | **Do NOT retry with paraphrased text.** Re-run `extract`/`inspect`, copy `exactText` verbatim (including exact whitespace/punctuation), and add a discriminator (`paragraphId`, `fingerprint`, or `occurrence`). |
-| `AMBIGUOUS_TARGET` | Multiple paragraphs match identical text. | Disambiguate by supplying `paragraphId`, `fingerprint`, `occurrence`, or `index` in the target descriptor. |
-| `ANCHOR_NOT_FOUND` / `AMBIGUOUS_ANCHOR` | A comment or rejected-view insertion anchor was not uniquely matched. | For comments, narrow `textToComment` or omit it to anchor the whole paragraph. For rejected-view insertion, copy exact rejected text and provide `anchor.occurrence`. |
-| `OVERLAPPING_TEXT_EDITS` | Multiple operations target the same paragraph concurrently. | Consolidate all changes to the same paragraph into a single `redline` or `replace` operation. |
-| `EXISTING_REVISIONS` | Target paragraph contains tracked changes from another author. | Fails closed to protect third-party review marks. If editing inside that reviewer's pending insertion is intended, pass `--existing-revisions slice-cross-author` (or `existingRevisions: 'slice-cross-author'`). Do not pass `accept-all-first` without explicit user authorization. |
-| `PATCH_ROUNDTRIP_MISMATCH` | A cross-author surgical edit did not reconstruct the requested modified text exactly. | Treat the operation as unapplied. Re-extract the exact paragraph text and split the edit into a narrower operation that does not cross the reported structural boundary. |
-| `FOREIGN_PARAGRAPH_MARK_DELETION` | A normal edit attempted to write into a paragraph wholly deleted by another reviewer. | Use an explicit `restore` operation if the user intends to counterpropose that paragraph; otherwise leave the deletion unresolved. |
-| `RESTORATION_STATE_REQUIRED` / `RESTORATION_COUNT_MISMATCH` | A `restore` target is not a wholly foreign-deleted paragraph, or its replacement count does not match the paragraph range. | Re-inspect the document and target the deleted paragraph by stable descriptor; provide exactly one replacement string per source paragraph. |
-| `REJECTED_INSERTION_STATE_REQUIRED` / `UNSAFE_REVISION_BOUNDARY` | An explicit rejected-view insertion did not resolve to supported plain run text inside a wholly foreign-deleted paragraph. | Do not fall back to a generic edit. Narrow the exact anchor/offset, or handle comments, bookmarks, fields, hyperlinks, moves, or other structural boundaries manually. |
-| `GENERATED_OOXML_INVALID` | The operation introduced a new validation error relative to its baseline. | Treat the operation as unapplied and inspect `generatedIssues`; correct the generating operation or builder rather than repairing or accepting the source document's unrelated baseline defects. |
-| `UNSAFE_DELETED_TABLE_ROW` / `UNSUPPORTED_MOVE_REVISION` / `SECTION_BREAK_PARAGRAPH` / `UNSAFE_PARAGRAPH_PLACEMENT` | Paragraph restoration cannot preserve the source structural boundary safely. | Do not retry as an ordinary redline. Resolve the row/move/section/placement condition manually or narrow the restoration to a safe paragraph. |
-| `COMMENTED_CONTENT_MERGE` / `COMMENTED_CONTENT_DELETE` | Operation would overwrite, revert, or delete content with comments. | Fails closed to prevent orphaned comment threads. Report the comment author and text to the user; resolve the comment before re-editing. |
-| `INVALID_OPERATION` | Operation object violates schema or has incompatible fields. | Validate the JSON structure against [`document-operations.schema.json`](file:///c:/Users/Phara/Desktop/Projects/Docx%20Redline%20JS/docs/schemas/document-operations.schema.json) before targeting is attempted. |
-| `STRUCTURED_CONTENT_INVALID` | Malformed Markdown table or structure in replacement text. | Ensure tables include a separator row (`\| --- \| --- \|`) and consistent column counts; do not downgrade to raw text. |
-
-**Important Rule:** Never repeat the exact same failing command without correcting the reported cause. If an error persists after one correction attempt, stop and report the diagnostic code to the user.
-
-#### Document Scope & Boundary Invariants
-
-The `docx-redline` engine and CLI operate specifically on the **main document body**:
-
-- **Supported Content**: Body paragraphs, numbered/bulleted lists, tables and table cells, comments, and comment replies.
-- **Unsupported Content**: Headers, footers, footnotes, endnotes, floating text boxes, shape drawings, watermarks, and embedded macros.
-- Do not attempt to target, edit, or comment on header/footer text or footnote citations using `docx-redline`. Use specialized document manipulation tools or manual editing for layout frames outside the body text.
-
-### Convert paragraph text into a Word list
-
-```js
-const result = await applyRedlineToOxml(oxml, 'Item text', '1. Item text', {
-  generateRedlines: true
-});
-```
-
-### Insert a large mixed-content block safely
-
-Do not send a long attachment containing literal pipe rows, headings, lists,
-and paragraphs as an unchecked replacement. Plan it first:
-
-```js
-import { planStructuredReplacement } from '@ansonlai/docx-redline-js';
-
-const plan = planStructuredReplacement(targetDescriptor, markdown, {
-  author: 'Agent'
-});
-if (!plan.valid || !plan.operation) {
-  throw new Error(plan.issues.map(issue => issue.message).join(' '));
-}
-const result = await document.applyOperations([plan.operation], {
-  author: 'Agent', atomic: true, validate: true
-});
-```
-
-Use blank lines between paragraphs, `#`/`##` for headings, normal Markdown
-markers for lists, and a separator row immediately after every table header:
-
-```markdown
-| Agency | Contact |
-| --- | --- |
-| BCHD | Dr. Jenkins |
-```
-
-The planner returns typed `blocks`, counts, normalized Markdown, and structured
-issues. `TABLE_SEPARATOR_REQUIRED` is an error: never remove `structuredContent`
-or retry the same content as plain text merely to make the operation pass. Keep
-the result as one atomic replacement operation so the first inserted block does
-not invalidate the anchor for later blocks. After applying, require real
-`w:tbl`, positive list `w:numId` values, valid redline OOXML, and independent
-Accept/Reject checks.
-
-### Reconcile a table
-
-```js
-import { reconcileMarkdownTableOoxml } from '@ansonlai/docx-redline-js';
-const result = await reconcileMarkdownTableOoxml(tableOoxml, originalText, markdownTable);
-```

-## Common Patterns
-
-### Options and Defaults Reference
-
-| Option | Type | Default | Description |
-|--------|------|---------|-------------|
-| `generateRedlines` | `boolean` | `true` | When `true`, emits Word-native tracked changes (`w:ins`/`w:del`). When `false`, applies direct text edits without revision markup. **Note: Redlines are not always the preferred method** — pass `generateRedlines: false` (or `--no-redlines` via CLI) when producing clean execution drafts, restructuring documents, or when revision clutter is unwanted. |
-| `author` | `string` | `'AI Redliner'` | Reviewer/author name stamped on generated tracked changes and comments. Overridable via `DOCX_REDLINE_AUTHOR` environment variable. |
-| `atomic` | `boolean` | `false` | Batch transaction mode. By default (`false`), valid edits are applied directly and failing operations report errors. When `true`, any operation failure rolls back the entire batch to the original document state (`rolledBack: true`, `hasChanges: false`). Use `atomic: true` (or `--atomic` in CLI) for high-assurance workflows. |
-| `structuredContent` | `boolean` | `true` | Auto-detects Markdown tables, headings (`#`), and lists in replacement text and renders them as native Word elements (`w:tbl`, `w:pStyle`, `w:numPr`). Pass `false` to treat replacement text strictly as plain text. |
-| `pairReplacements` | `boolean` | `true` | Links adjacent `<w:del>` and `<w:ins>` revisions with matching timestamps so Word groups them as a single replacement in the Reviewing Pane. |
-| `strictTargets` | `boolean` | `true` (CLI/facade) | Requires exact target descriptors (`exactText`, `paragraphId`, `index`, `occurrence`, `fingerprint`) and forbids ambiguous matching. Defaults to `false` in low-level runner for backwards compatibility. |
-| `existingRevisions` | `string` | `'merge-same-author'` | How to handle paragraphs with existing tracked changes. `'merge-same-author'` merges the same author's work and protects other authors with `EXISTING_REVISIONS`. `'slice-cross-author'` retains same-author merging while allowing Word-native edits inside another author's pending insertion. Pass `'accept-all-first'` to normalize prior revisions or `'reject-input'` to refuse editing revised paragraphs. |
-| `removeFormatting` | `boolean` | `false` | When `true` and the text is unchanged with no Markdown hints, strips existing bold/italic/underline/strikethrough formatting. |
-| `sanitizeInput` | `boolean` | `false` | Opt-in removal of standalone leading assistant-preface lines. Literal dollar signs and `\n` sequences are always preserved. |
-
-### Options shape
-
-```js
-{
-  generateRedlines: true,
-  author: 'AI Redliner',
-  atomic: false,
-  structuredContent: true,
-  pairReplacements: true,
-  existingRevisions: 'merge-same-author',
-  removeFormatting: false,
-  sanitizeInput: false
-}
-```
-
-### Typical return shape
-
-```js
-{
-  oxml: string,
-  hasChanges: boolean,
-  status?: 'ok' | 'no-op' | 'error',
-  error?: { code: string, message: string },
-  warnings?: string[],
-  numberingXml?: string,
-  useNativeApi?: boolean
-}
-```
-
-Known error codes include `PARSE_ERROR`, `TARGET_NOT_FOUND`, `PARTIAL_TARGET`,
-`EXISTING_REVISIONS`, `COMMENTED_CONTENT_MERGE`, `UNSAFE_REVISION_NESTING`, `UNSUPPORTED_REVISION_VIEW_MUTATION`,
-`UNSAFE_PARAGRAPH_BOUNDARY`, `DIFF_TOKEN_LIMIT`, and `BATCH_OPERATION_FAILED`.
-
-For ingestion that must distinguish an empty document from malformed OOXML,
-use `ingestWordOoxmlToPlainTextResult` or
-`ingestWordOoxmlToMarkdownResult`. The legacy ingestion helpers intentionally
-retain their string-only return type and return `''` for parse failures.
-
-### Target text versus replacement text
-
-Target resolution may normalize surrounding or repeated whitespace while
-matching a paragraph. Replacement text is not normalized: tabs, line breaks,
-non-breaking spaces, repeated spaces, and leading/trailing whitespace become
-part of the requested edit. When editing extracted document text, copy the
-exact paragraph text and modify it in place rather than round-tripping it
-through a formatter that may change whitespace.
+Keep shared modules from importing `index.js`; keep host-independent code from
+importing `node/`. Use `rg` to follow only the symbol being changed. Preserve
+unrelated worktree changes and edit source files, never generated `dist/` files.
+
+## Verification
 
-The normalized caller target is never used for mutation offsets in a text-bearing
-edit. After target selection, the engine uses the resolved paragraph's byte-exact
-JavaScript string as the source coordinate system. The legacy format-only
-fallback for field-code paragraphs with no extractable accepted-view spans is
-not a text-replacement path. If an ASCII-space target selected an NBSP
-source, `resolvedTarget.targetTextMatch` reports `space_equivalent`, escaped
-source/request excerpts, and differing code points. An NBSP-to-space request is
-tracked as a replacement; it must not retain the NBSP and append another space.
-The CLI keeps these bounded diagnostics but removes resolved clause text.
-
-For ordinary insertions and deletions, target the visible accepted view:
-inserted `w:t` text is visible and deleted `w:delText` is not. Move revisions
-and other complex structures require additional care until targeting and
-ingestion share one canonical text extractor. Prefer a `targetRef` plus the full
-paragraph text when duplicate paragraphs are possible. Current text-only
-matching can select the first matching paragraph, so callers that cannot
-disambiguate safely should stop instead of guessing.
-
-### OOXML wrapping for Word insertOoxml scenarios
-
-```js
-import { wrapInDocumentFragment } from '@ansonlai/docx-redline-js';
-const wrapped = wrapInDocumentFragment(rawOoxml, { includeNumbering: true, numberingXml });
-```
-
-### Output shape guardrail (important for packaging)
-
-When consuming `result.oxml`, do not assume the payload is always safe to write
-directly into `word/document.xml`.
-
-- Paragraph/range/table APIs can return a fragment, `<w:document>`, or package payload (`<pkg:package>`).
-- `applyOperationToDocumentXml(...).documentXml` is the document-safe path when you need a full `word/document.xml` replacement.
-- Use `extractReplacementNodesFromOoxml(payload)` to normalize unknown payloads.
-- If `sourceType === 'package'` or the payload starts with `<pkg:package`, do not write it into `word/document.xml` as-is.
-
-## Gotchas
-
-1. Call `configureXmlProvider` first in Node.js.
-2. `applyRedlineToOxml` is async.
-3. Paragraph APIs expect paragraph-level OOXML, not full `word/document.xml` in all cases.
-4. List operations may return `numberingXml` that must be merged into package parts. When `word/numbering.xml` already exists, pass `mergeNumberingXmlBySchemaOrder` to `ensureNumberingArtifactsInZip`; without a merge callback the helper replaces the prior payload.
-   That replacement behavior is deprecated and will become an error in the next major version.
-5. `useNativeApi: true` means standalone mode cannot fully handle that operation path.
-6. `deleteCommentsByAuthorInOoxml` removes definitions and linked anchors only when they are present in the same OOXML payload. In a real `.docx`, `word/comments.xml` and `word/document.xml` are separate parts and must both be updated by the package integration layer.
-7. If output begins with `<pkg:package`, treat it as package-level OOXML and normalize it before writing anything back to `word/document.xml`.
-8. Existing revisions from the same author are merged by default against the pre-revision baseline (`merge-same-author`), while third-party revisions fail closed with `EXISTING_REVISIONS`. Pass `existingRevisions: 'slice-cross-author'` to preserve third-party attribution while editing inside pending insertions, `'accept-all-first'` to normalize all prior revisions first, or `'reject-input'` to refuse any revised paragraph.
-9. Caller content is not sanitized by default. Pass `sanitizeInput: true` only for raw assistant output; literal dollar delimiters and `\\n` sequences are never rewritten.
-10. Hyperlinks, bookmarks, comment markers, tabs/breaks, and footnote/endnote references are structural OOXML and should survive adjacent redline edits.
-11. Internally, create Word elements through `createWordElement` and tracked-change metadata through `createRevisionMetadata`.
-12. Revision IDs are document-scoped in public operation paths. Thread the
-    internal allocator through new string-serialization paths; generated
-    `w:id` values are not stable across documents.
-13. Splitting or cloning a run can duplicate nested `w:rPrChange` metadata.
-    Preserve the original ID on at most one resulting run and allocate fresh
-    IDs for every additional clone through the document-scoped allocator.
-14. Run `validateRedlineOoxml` on generated markup before packaging it, then
-    run `validateDocxPackage` after merging comments and numbering artifacts.

-## Validation Commands
-
-```bash
-npm test
-npm run test:isolation
-npm run check:types
-node scripts/export-validation-fixtures.mjs
-```
-
-Optional Windows/Word smoke test for a completed `.docx`:
-
-```bash
-npm run smoke:word -- path/to/file.docx
-```
+Run the closest test first: `node tests/<focused-suite>.mjs`. Use `npm test` for
+cross-subsystem or release handoff, plus `npm run check:types` and
+`npm run test:isolation` when boundaries or declarations change. Word COM,
+visual, corpus, coverage, and fixture-generation lanes are separate; select them
+from the [Testing Guide](docs/TESTING.md).
