+# L03 - Bootstrap the first project
+
+**Status:** Ready
+**Track:** Quickstart
+**Time:** 25 minutes
+**Tested with:** Cairnkeep 2.3.0
+
+## Outcome
+
+You can bootstrap a disposable project, verify its wiring, store one accepted
+fact, and recall it from a new harness session.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Completed [L02](L02-installation.md).
+- Git and a supported harness.
+- A disposable directory that contains no real project or confidential data.
+
+## Exercise
+
+1. Create a disposable repository:
+
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p "$HOME/cairnkeep-course/first-project"
+   cd "$HOME/cairnkeep-course/first-project"
+   git init
+   printf '# Cairnkeep course project\n' > README.md
+   ```
+
+2. Bootstrap the project:
+
+   ```bash
+   cairn bootstrap "$PWD"
+   cp .ai/env.example .ai/.env
+   ```
+
+3. Keep optional endpoint and model values unset for this local exercise. Run
+   diagnostics:
+
+   ```bash
+   cairn doctor
+   ```
+
+4. Launch Claude Code through the generated project launcher:
+
+   ```bash
+   ./.ai/start-claude.sh
+   ```
+
+5. In the harness, store a deliberately synthetic convention:
+
+   ```text
+   /remember Course convention: examples use UTC timestamps.
+   ```
+
+6. Retrieve it:
+
+   ```text
+   /recall UTC timestamps
+   ```
+
+7. Exit the harness, start it again with the same launcher, and repeat the
+   recall. This second session is the persistence proof.
+
+## Verify
+
+The lesson is complete only if:
+
+- `cairn doctor` reports no configured dependency failures;
+- `/remember` confirms a durable key;
+- `/recall` finds the fact after the first session has exited;
+- `cairn memory path` points to local storage on this machine.
+
+## Common failures
+
+| Symptom | Cause | Recovery |
+|---|---|---|
+| Launcher is missing | A different directory was bootstrapped | Run `pwd`, then bootstrap that exact path |
+| `.ai/.env` is missing | Only the example is generated | Copy `.ai/env.example` to `.ai/.env` |
+| `cairn-memory` is unavailable | L02 MCP registration is absent or stale | Run `claude mcp get cairn-memory`, repair it, then restart Claude Code |
+| Slash commands are unknown | Operating assets were not loaded | Run `cairn sync --check`, apply if needed, then restart the harness |
+| Recall works only in the first session | Sessions used different storage routing | Compare launchers and environment, then inspect `cairn memory path` |
+
+## Privacy and trust boundary
+
+Use synthetic memory in the course. The local stdio server writes to local
+AgentFS/SQLite storage. Project wiki and planning files are derived artifacts;
+the repository remains canonical.
+
+## Clean up
+
+Exit the harness before removing the disposable project:
+
+```bash
+rm -rf "$HOME/cairnkeep-course/first-project"
+```
+
+This removes project scaffolding but not the global memory store. Remove the
+synthetic memory through the normal memory review/delete workflow if required.
+
+## Optional challenge
+
+Repeat bootstrap with `--untracked` in another disposable Git repository, then
+inspect `.git/info/exclude` to see how contributor mode avoids shared changes.
+
+## Recap
+
+- Bootstrap is project-specific and follows machine setup.
+- The generated launcher establishes a repeatable project environment.
+- Persistence is proven only after a new session recalls the accepted fact.
+
+Next: [L04 - Memory fundamentals](L04-memory-fundamentals.md).

+# L04 - Memory fundamentals
+
+**Status:** Brief
+**Track:** Practitioner
+**Planned time:** 35 minutes
+
+## Outcome
+
+Choose an appropriate scope and key, search by meaning, inspect history, and
+review extracted candidates before they become durable memory.
+
+## Planned lesson
+
+- Identity, project, and global scopes.
+- Key families: `decisions/`, `pitfalls/`, `patterns/`, `bugs/`,
+  `constraints/`, and `conventions/`.
+- Exact read versus semantic search and substring fallback.
+- Superseding a fact without losing history.
+- Session-end candidate extraction and `/memory-review` as the acceptance gate.
+- Deleting synthetic course memory safely.
+
+## Hands-on lab
+
+Store three synthetic facts in different categories, retrieve them by an
+imprecise query, supersede one, inspect its history, and reject one staged
+candidate.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- The learner can justify the scope and category for each fact.
+- Search finds a fact without requiring its exact key.
+- Superseding preserves the prior value in history.
+- No extracted candidate becomes durable without an explicit review action.
+
+## Planned video
+
+Open with two contradictory memories, demonstrate search and superseding, then
+finish with the review queue. Target 12-15 minutes. Write the complete script in
+Wave 2 after the lab fixture is executable.

+## Outcome
+
+Use memory, the cited wiki, alignment artifacts, and automatic hooks without
+confusing derived knowledge with canonical project sources.
+
+## Planned lesson
+
+- SessionStart recall, pre-edit recall, and SessionEnd candidate staging.
+- `/wiki-ingest`, `/wiki-query`, and `/wiki-lint`.
+- Sparse, citation-heavy wiki pages rather than copied documentation.
+- Alignment gaps, contradictions, and project planning artifacts.
+- `/memory-sync` for configured git-provider state.
+- A start-of-task and end-of-task checklist.
+
+## Hands-on lab
+
+Ingest one synthetic ADR, query it with citations, change the canonical ADR,
+observe staleness, refresh the derived page, and review the session candidate
+queue before exiting.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- Every derived claim links to a canonical source.
+- A stale or contradictory page is detected rather than silently trusted.
+- Automatic hooks are observable and do not bypass human memory review.
+- The learner can describe what to do at session start, before editing, and at

+
+## Outcome
+
+Run `/repo-review` and `/security-audit` against a bounded target, validate
+findings, and keep generated reports separate from automatic code changes.
+
+## Planned lesson
+
+- When to use repository review versus a security audit.
+- Target selection, repository boundaries, and safe local-only policy.
+- Investigator and validator roles.
+- Severity, evidence, reproduction, false positives, and remediation ordering.
+- Reviewing `REVIEW.md` and `.planning/security/` before acting.
+- Why a report is not permission to modify unrelated code.
+
+## Hands-on lab
+
+Use a deliberately vulnerable toy service containing a correctness defect, an
+authorization defect, and one tempting false positive. Run both workflows,

+
+## Acceptance criteria

+- The learner finds both real defects and does not report the planted false
