It appends a `pending` row, then `scored` (the average of four 0–100 criteria — purpose, newcomer could use it, runnable example, limits stated — each with a reason, kept in `detail`) or `not_scored` (outage, malformed reply twice, no `HOWTO.md`, bad tarball). Each call's spend goes to `cost_log` via the `reward` port (source `module-docs-grader`). Price is never in the prompt. `--file <HOWTO.md>` is a DB-free dry run. **Score** — `scripts/gds/module-assess-score.js` (task 1003794) composes a version's newest signal per part into a `module_assessment_scores` row: `security_passed` from the gate (NULL = not run), `overall` = the plain average of the SCORED parts among Tests, Install, Reliability and Tester feedback (a part with no data is left out, never zero; none → NULL), Docs shown but never averaged, `is_new` until Install or Reliability is scored, plus the signal ids and a readable `formula`. A recompose that would repeat the current score writes nothing. All three signal CLIs recompose after recording, and the store's publish route queues `assessVersion` after answering the author (one at a time per process, at most 20 waiting; past that it is logged as not assessed): Tests `pending` (only if no Tests result exists), the Security gate, Docs, then the score. `node scripts/gds/module-assess-version.js <id>` re-runs it by hand (`scripts/gds/module-assess-version.js` holds the publish-time half, apart from the composer so the signal CLIs recompose without a require cycle).
 
 Code: `src/bongos/module-entitlements.js` (`grantEntitlement`, `recordAcquired`, `revokeEntitlement`, `checkEntitlement`, `listEntitlements`). Read routes (own-scoped, `requireBuilder`): `GET /store/entitlements`, `GET /store/modules/:key/entitlement`. Install (task 1003785) grants a free module through `POST /store/modules/:key/acquire`; the buy action (area 8) will grant a paid one.

+// scripts/gds/module-assess-docs.js — the Docs part of a module's assessment: an
+// AI grader scores a published store version's HOWTO.md for clarity and
+// completeness, recorded as a module_assessment_signals row (task 1004367;
+// ADR 0347 D5/D6, amending ADR 0343 D1; table from core_265).
+//
+// WHY a rubric and not one number. ADR 0343 D4: every part is visible, so an
+// author must see WHY they scored what they did. The grader scores four named
+// criteria, each 0-100 with a one-line reason; the Docs score is their plain
+// average, and the criteria travel in the row's detail.
+//
+// What it grades, and what it never sees:
+//   - the version's HOWTO.md, read from its verified tarball, so it is the exact
+//     file the buyer gets (ADR 0347 D1). Never the optional howto.artifactUrl
+//     (D3): a hosted page can change after publish.
+//   - nothing else. The prompt is built from the file's text alone, so price,
+//     author and download counts can never reach the grader (ADR 0343 D6).
+//   - the file is untrusted text written by the author: it is fenced, the grader
+//     runs with no tools, and anything that is not the expected JSON is a
+//     malformed reply.
+//
+// Cost (ADR 0347 D6): one Claude Sonnet 5 call per version through the grading
+// module's runSubagent (the `grade` port) and the llm-cache, retried once; the
+// file is cut to MAX_HOWTO_CHARS so a call stays under the 5-cent ceiling, and
+// the reason then says the score covers only the part read. Each call's spend is
+// written to the cost log (the `reward` port's logCost), source 'module-docs-grader'.
+//
+// "No score yet" is never a zero (ADR 0343 D3/D5): a `pending` row is written
+// before the call ("Docs: pending"); an outage, a malformed reply twice, a missing
+// HOWTO.md or a tarball that fails verification is `not_scored` ("Docs: not
+// scored"). Docs is shown beside the score and never averaged in (ADR 0347 D5),

+//
+// WHY one composer. The floor, the ranking and the cap (tasks 1003807-9) all read
+// one number, and an author appealing it must be able to redo the sum. So the rule
+// lives here once, as a pure function, and every writer of a signal calls the same
+// recompose afterwards:
+//   - Security is a GATE (D2): it sets security_passed (true / false / NULL = not
+//     run or could not run) and is never averaged in.
+//   - overall = the plain, unweighted average of the parts that are SCORED among
+//     Tests, Install, Reliability and Tester feedback (D3). A part with no data —
+//     no row, or no_data / pending / not_scored — is left out, never a zero.
+//     No such part at all → overall NULL.
+//   - Docs is shown with the parts and never averaged (ADR 0347 D5).
+//   - is_new (D5): the version has no scored Install or Reliability part yet.
+// The CURRENT result of a part is its newest signal row (core_265). Each score
+// row names the signal ids it was composed from and a formula a person can read,
+// so "why did I score 71?" is answered by the row. A recompose that would write

+// moves when the answer does.
