+// modules/specialities/specialities.js — role SUB-SPECIALITIES: a named bundle of
+// knowledge, skills and an interaction contract that sits UNDER a craft
+// (task 1003855, goal 1000095; ADR 0296).
+//
+// WHAT THIS IS FOR. A craft says how you work (engineer / ideator / artist / ui).
+// A speciality says what you work ON and how a subject-matter expert wants to be
+// engaged inside that craft — an ideator with an Economics speciality is still an
+// ideator, but the session arrives knowing the subject and the expert's terms.
+//
+// WHY IT IS A THIN LAYER, NOT NEW MACHINERY. Three of the four ingredients already
+// exist and this module deliberately reuses them rather than reimplementing:
+//   • craft -> playbook            scripts/gds/discipline-modes.json
+//   • the per-session contract     modules/builder-settings/interaction-prefs.js,
+//                                  resolved into GET /me and injected by the
+//                                  Conductor hook — a speciality contract rides
+//                                  that SAME path, it does not add a second one
+//   • declared skills              the ADR 0083 manifest contribution seam
+// The genuinely new part is the knowledge bundle, which is why the migration adds
+// tables for it and this file carries the rules over them.
+//
+// TRAINING IS TWO-FOLD (owner ruling, 2026-09-17, recorded on task 1003855):
+//   a. knowledge the builder SUPPLIED — their own documents (speciality_documents)
+//   b. what the speciality LEARNED from sessions (speciality_learnings, which
+//      points at existing `learnings` rows rather than growing a second corpus)
+//
+// Every function here is PURE and takes its inputs explicitly; the DB lives in
+// db.js behind an executor seam, so these rules are unit-testable without a
+// database (the modules/lifecycle/db-deps-criteria.js precedent).
