+// SHAPE. Authoring and adoption are open to any builder: a speciality is how a
+// subject-matter expert's knowledge enters the platform, and gating that behind a
+// rank would mean only trusted builders could be experts. What IS gated is
+// touching someone else's — every write below re-reads the row and checks
+// ownership server-side rather than trusting an id from the client.
+//
+// THE RULES ARE NOT IN THIS FILE. Visibility, validation and the injected
+// contract live in ../specialities.js as pure functions, so they are unit-tested
+// without a database and cannot drift between the route and the session path.
+// A widening here that does not go through canAdopt is a bug.
+//
+// MODULE BOUNDARY: everything core arrives through the published doorway
+// (src/module-api.js); `../db` and `../specialities` are intra-module siblings.

+// WHAT THIS IS FOR. A craft says how you work (engineer / ideator / artist / ui).

+// exist and this module deliberately reuses them rather than reimplementing:
+//   • craft -> playbook            scripts/gds/discipline-modes.json
