Title-based linking (`[Text](<Title With Spaces>)`) is fragile (breaks on colons, parens, ampersands, brackets — silently navigates to wrong page) — **don\'t write title-based links**; do an extra search to get the UUID instead. Repo-path forms (`[Text](docs/path.md)`) exist for repo-ingested files; don\'t construct manually. See `AGENT_GUIDE.md → Writing linkable content` for the full rule.\n9. **Concurrency: content updates require `expected_content_hash`.** Pass the `content_hash` you read (shown by `cerefox_get_document`, `cerefox_search`, and `cerefox_metadata_search`) when updating a document. If it\'s stale you get a **conflict** — re-read the document, merge your changes into the latest content, retry with the new hash. **Never resolve a conflict by overwriting blindly** — the current content includes another writer\'s work. `last_write_wins: true` skips the check; use it ONLY when an external source of truth makes conflicts meaningless (file re-sync), never to silence a conflict.\n10. **Search: prefer a few distinctive terms; heed `below confidence`.** When nothing clears the relevance threshold, `cerefox_search` returns the closest candidates prefixed with a `below confidence` warning instead of an empty set — that flag means **weak signal, not absent knowledge**: check the candidates\' scores and titles before concluding the KB lacks the content. A truly empty response means nothing even weakly related exists.\n11. **Project memberships — non-destructive by default**: on `cerefox_ingest` updates, **`project_name` (singular) is a non-destructive add** (ensures membership, preserves others). Use **`project_names` (list)** when you want to set the doc\'s full project set in one call (destructive replace). For metadata-only project changes without writing content, use **`cerefox_set_document_projects(document_id, project_names)`** — that tool is the destructive-replace contract made explicit. Never call `cerefox_set_document_projects` with a single name when you mean "add" — that would REMOVE the doc from all other projects. When in doubt, use `cerefox_ingest` with singular `project_name`.',
