+## Verified product sources
+
+All notes claims below use **Screenplay v4.144.0** (decision 0045, PR #683), not
+Cratis CLI's older bundle. Sources in `Cratis/Screenplay` at that tag:
+
+| Contract | Path and lines |
+| --- | --- |
+| Purpose, anchors, decisions and privacy | `Documentation/screenplay/model-notes.md:6-77`; `decisions/0045-model-notes-sidecar.md:40-79` |
+| Filters, operations, review and orphan disclosure | `Documentation/screenplay/mcp/reference.md:457-520`; `Source/DotNET/Screenplay.Mcp/McpNotesSchemas.cs:10-83` |
+| Retained proposals, revision guards and notes review | `Source/DotNET/Screenplay.Mcp/McpWorkspaces.Notes.cs:12-92,111-119` |
+| Operation fields and resolution evidence | `Source/DotNET/Screenplay.Mcp/McpNotesOperations.cs:12-99` |
+| Sidecar bytes, absence and canonical revision | `Source/DotNET/Screenplay/Workspaces/ModelNotesStore.cs:22-32,56-126` |
+| Standalone question gate | `Source/DotNET/Tool/ModelOpenQuestions.cs:18-69,87-131`; `Documentation/screenplay/model-notes.md:93-121` |
+
+The source-edit and authoring guides remain useful for the ordinary proposal loop:
+`Documentation/screenplay/mcp/edit.md:201-226` and `authoring-tools.md:16-40`.
+The notes-specific arguments are in the reference and sources above.
+
+## Choose the artifact
+
+Record an unresolved modeling choice as a `question` note on the affected element,
+not only in chat, session STATE.md or `description` text. Include the consequence
+and the assumption in use, or say the scope is blocked. Use `task` for work to do
+and `note` for review context. All three can be open or resolved.
+
+A description states meaning, documentation explains settled reasoning, and a
+project-owned decision record preserves a consequential choice. Notes link to
+these artifacts; they do not implement behavior or replace decision records.
+Cite the project's own decision identifiers in `refs`, for example
+`[{ "id": "D123", "url": "https://example.org/decisions/D123" }]`.
+URLs must be absolute HTTP(S); the server never fetches them. Read the actual
+project record before treating its identifier as evidence of an answer.
+
+**Never put secrets or personal data in note text, author, references or
+resolutions.** The sidecar is committed. Use invented examples and team roles or
+handles, not personal names. `author` is unverified free text, not authentication
+or authorization.
+
+## Anchors and independent state
+
+Notes live beside the model in committed `.screenplay/notes.json`. An anchor is
+`{ semanticId }` or `{ application: true }`. Fetch IDs from the current catalog;
+do not derive them from names. Renames and moves keep notes without rewriting the
+sidecar. `lastAddress` is a display hint, never an anchor.
+
+For a syntax-only construct, select its current source handle or address and kind.
+The server substitutes its nearest identified slice, feature, module or application;
+inspect `substitutions` and name the particular construct in the note text.
+Document and authoring-key anchors are unsupported.
+
+Notes do not change source, workspace/catalog/semantic revisions, executable
+model bytes or compiler verdicts. Their own `notesRevision` is `nrev1:` plus the
+lowercase SHA-256 of canonical bytes; `nrev1:absent` is not an empty document.
+The file header uses `schema: "cratis.screenplay.notes"`, `schemaVersion: 1` and
+`applicationIdentity` in the catalog's representation. The server writes stable
+key order, LF plus a trailing newline, and one note object per line sorted by ID.
+Commit it with the model; never hand-author a sidecar to bypass proposals.
+
+## List with bounded, pinned reads
+
+Open the workspace, inspect `notes` status and retain workspace/catalog revisions.
+`list-model-notes` returns `notesRevision`, `view` and `page` with `revision`,
+`totalCount`, `offset`, `items`, `nextOffset`.
+
+| Filter | Meaning |
+| --- | --- |
+| `anchor` | `{ semanticId }`, including an orphan ID, or `{ address, kind }` |
+| `scope` | Dotted module/feature/slice; descendants and ancestor notes |
+| `kind` | `question`, `task`, `note`; omitted selects all |
+| `state` | `open` by default; `resolved`, `orphaned`, `all` |
+| `ref` | Exact identifier in `refs` or `resolution.ref`, e.g. `D123` |
+| `view` | `items` by default, or `findings` |
+
+Use `offset`/`limit` (at most 200, also byte-bounded); continue from `nextOffset`
+and echo `notesRevision` as `expectedNotesRevision` after the first page.
+Restart rather than combine pages after drift.
+
+Items carry the durable `note`, current `address`, computed `state` and nullable
+`orphanReason`. `view: "findings"` returns one info finding per selected open
+question with `code: "model-note.open-question"`, `noteId`, message and owning
+slice/container address. These are MCP/CLI-only findings, **no PLAY code** and
+no compiler warning. Use `state: "all"` for findings including orphaned open
+questions; the default open filter does not prove there are no orphans.
+
+## Propose, review, apply
+
+Only the connection owner proposes/applies. `propose-model-notes` requires
+`expectedRevision`, `expectedCatalogRevision`, `expectedNotesRevision` and 1–200
+`operations`. It retains an atomic batch without writing; a failed batch retains
+nothing. These are `operation` values, not an `action` parameter:
+
+| Operation | Additional fields |
+| --- | --- |
+| `add` | `kind`, `text`, `author`, exactly one `anchor` or `target`; optional `refs` |
+| `edit` | `id`; optional `kind`, `text`, `refs` (replaces the whole list) |
+| `resolve` | `id`, `resolution` with `by`, `text`, `author`; evidence below |
+| `reopen` | `id`; clears resolution |
+| `reanchor` | `id`, exactly one `anchor` or `target` |
+| `remove` | `id`; explicitly deletes the note, not how to answer a question |
+
+`target` accepts a dotted `{ address, kind }`, typed address, or current
+`{ revision, documentId, path }` source handle. IDs and UTC instants are
+server-generated; do not supply `createdAt` or resolution `at`. Text and author
+are trimmed, nonempty and at most 16384 characters; at most 100 refs per note,
+10000 notes and 4 MiB UTF-8 per sidecar.
+
+Example **argument template** for `propose-model-notes`: substitute the three
+revisions just read and an actual declaration address before calling it.
+
+```json
+{
+  "expectedRevision": "<workspace revision>",
+  "expectedCatalogRevision": "<catalog revision>",
+  "expectedNotesRevision": "<notes revision>",
+  "operations": [{
+    "operation": "add",
+    "kind": "question",
+    "target": { "address": "Library.Loans.CheckIn", "kind": "Slice" },
+    "text": "Can a member cancel after check-in? This changes cancellation rules; assuming cancellation is blocked until answered.",
+    "author": "modeling-team",
+    "refs": [{ "id": "D123" }]
+  }]
+}
+```
+
+1. Retain `proposalId`, `afterNotesRevision`, server `addedNotes` IDs and inspect
+   `substitutions`. `changeCount: 0` means no source changes, not no notes change.
+2. Read `read-proposal` with `view: "notes"`: before/after notes revisions and
+   paged `{ id, before, after }` pairs. On continuation pin **afterNotesRevision**
+   as `expectedNotesRevision`, not the disk revision. Review the entire batch.
+3. `apply` the reviewed server proposal with its ID and before workspace/catalog
+   revisions under the ordinary authorization contract. Apply verifies notes
+   revision and exact original bytes; no extra notes parameter on apply. It
+   journals source/identity/notes effects under the existing `pending.json`.
+4. Read fresh state after apply before another proposal. For `NotesRevisionDrift`,
+   reread notes and re-propose; for `StaleRevision`, reopen and re-propose. An
+   unknown apply outcome follows the ordinary recovery loop, never blind retry.
+
+Malformed notes do not block opening the model. Conflict markers, duplicate IDs,
+invalid schema/version or another application's identity report `notes.status:
+"unreadable"`; note tools refuse `UnreadableNotes` without auto-repair. Restore
+known-good content or deliberately resolve the conflict, then read again. Never
+interpret unreadable state as an empty notes set.
+
+## Resolve by evidence, then carry the answer into the model
+
+A null resolution means open. A `resolve` operation's `resolution` contains:
+
+| `by` | Evidence |
+| --- | --- |
+| `specification` | Required existing `semanticId` of the specification |
+| `description` | Required existing `semanticId` of the described element |
+| `decision` | Recorded modeling decision; optional `semanticId` or `ref` |
+| `external-decision` | Required `ref`, e.g. `{ "id": "D123" }` |
+| `dismissed` | Explanation why it no longer applies |
+
+For D123, send `operation: "resolve"`, the returned note `id`, and
+`resolution: { "by": "external-decision", "ref": { "id": "D123" },
+"text": "D123 disallows cancellation after check-in.", "author": "modeling-team" }`.
+Read the proposal's notes view and apply; use `list-model-notes ref=D123
+state=all` to find both citations and resolutions.
+
+Resolving does not implement the answer. Turn a resolved question into a
+specification for behavior, a description for clarified meaning, or a
+project-owned decision record for consequential policy. Apply a changed model
+and its specifications through a separate source proposal, run the appropriate
+verdicts, then resolve with the resulting evidence. A known refusal belongs in
+`then denied` or `then error`, not just a resolved note. Reopen if the answer
+stops being adequate.
+
+## Source proposals can orphan notes
+
+Review `orphanedNotes` IDs and `notes` status/reason/count on source, AST, rename,
+move and property proposals and their reviews. Retirement leaves a computed
+orphan with null current address and `orphanReason: "unknown"`; notes are never
+silently deleted. `orphanedNotes: null` with unreadable notes means unknown
+impact, not `[]`.
+
+Before applying a source proposal, review each affected question: reanchor to a
+surviving element, or resolve with evidence and deliberately decide whether to
+retain its orphaned history. Resolution alone does not restore an anchor. Remove
+only when explicitly intended. A separate notes apply invalidates the old source
+proposal; reopen and re-propose the source change, then inspect orphan impact
+again before apply. A read-only reviewer sends note/edit requests to the owner
+and never writes the sidecar.
+
+## Question gate is independent of compilation
+
+Read toolchain [versions](../../cratis-screenplay-toolchain/references/versions.md#model-notes-gate)
+when choosing the CLI gate. **Standalone Screenplay 4.144.0 has it; Cratis CLI
+3.53.1 does not.** `--warnaserror` alone ignores notes. Tasks and ordinary notes
+do not fail the question gate; resolving questions is not V1–V5 evidence.
