 `links.primary_artifact` verbatim; `reader_output` artifacts are deliverables, `structure_container` artifacts are hierarchy, and
 `node_id` is never a document URL.
 
+For a Question that may outlive one host turn, add `--background`. The command returns one durable `operation_id` immediately. Continue
+that same operation with `corvio questions operation`; `--wait-until-terminal` keeps the status loop inside the CLI, while
+`--after-cursor` returns only later user-visible milestones. A local deadline is not remote cancellation. Use
+`corvio questions cancel <operation_id> --yes` to request a stop, and do not report success until the returned state is actually
+`cancelled`. Progress is a bounded phase summary, never hidden reasoning or a provisional final answer. To correct the objective, finish
+or cancel the current operation and start a successor `corvio ask --conversation-id <conversation_id>` rather than silently replacing it.
+
 Treat files as a value ladder, not one upload event. Upload/finalize preserves the exact original, provenance, hash, policy, and stable Asset ID. A selected Markdown file can become an editable Page through `corvio docs create --file`; for other formats or a coherent source set, use `corvio files organize` or `corvio ask --allow-actions` to produce the reader-facing Page, Spreadsheet, Presentation, Code, HTML Artifact, or reading layer that fits the task. Stable facts/preferences may enter Memory; only an evidence-backed reusable method, configuration, constraint, or quality bar should become a Project Skill.
 
 Use `corvio files get <asset_id> --content` when the task needs only bounded facts from one retained source. The response preserves the immutable original as authority, reports its source hash and whether the projection is complete or truncated, and does not create a Question or materialize another document. Never infer unseen workbook rows/sheets or document sections.

A selected Markdown file can become an editable Page without resending the body through the model. Use \`docs update\` only when whole-body replacement is the smallest faithful change. Delegate document-wide judgment, cross-source synthesis, structure/formatting interpretation, and typed Spreadsheet, Presentation, Code, or HTML work to \`corvio ask --allow-actions\`. A Project is a structure container; body writes fail with project_structure_container_body_write_disabled, while a title-only Project rename remains valid.
