+`REQUEST_course_<slug>.md#R<n>` — a paraphrase may follow the citation, never replace it; reviews check owner

+- **Redaction**: what the unit does not need and must not be committed — credentials,

+  becomes `[REDACTED: <kind>]`; what the unit needs (a budget figure) stays.
+- **Not available verbatim** (late reclassification, words no longer in context):

 ## Canonical analysis — `solutions/ANALYSIS_course_<slug>.md`
 
 The core uses this file for workstream state and course risk. It is the only authority for UC, IC flow and risk IDs. The details below cite these IDs. The Interface Contract is due when an actor acts on or perceives a surface: for a course, the learner necessarily does. Design and code review use `review.md`; log them in `audit/reviews/REVIEW_LOG.md`. If reviewer access is permission-gated, record `gated, declined`, `gated, unattended` or `gated, pre-empted` truthfully and use the next available rung rather than claiming independence.
