Edit a number in the record to loosen it.
-2. For a UI project, invoke `canon:design-extract` to draft `canon/DESIGN.md`. With no UI code yet it takes the greenfield path and proposes tokens from the requirements and a `## Personality` section. Skip for non-UI projects.
-3. Optionally invoke `canon:draft-figure` naming an architecture view, such as system context or components, and the document it belongs in. It draws the view from the architecture and the requirements and renders it to verify the layout, which downloads the Mermaid CLI on first use and takes about 15 seconds.

 A project that has never synced under a toolkit new enough to write a stamp falls back to the toolkit's own git history. Installed content matching any version that history published proves the file untouched, so it reports `stale` naming the commit it came from, and content matching no published version stays `drifted`. That fallback needs the toolkit as a git checkout. Installed from the registry it ships source without history, and the report says attribution was unavailable rather than reading every file as a local edit.

 - Skip autoship for auth, migrations, security-sensitive changes, or work where the plan itself is uncertain
 
-#### What reaches review
-
-Review findings split by origin before severity is read. One the branch inherited stops the chain, and one the run itself caused is repaired in place at any severity, bounded at a single pass. Origin is causation rather than authorship, so staleness the run induced in a file it never opened counts as its own and the plan's file list bounds what it builds rather than what it may repair.
-
-Review is skipped when the diff is prose that only informs: every changed file matches `*.md` or `*.txt`, and none sits under a behavior path. Behavior paths cover skills and rules in both the authoring and the installed spelling, so the list matches whether a repository authors those surfaces or consumed them from the toolkit. Standards, `internal/`, and `tooling/` carry the authoring spelling alone, since none of the three reaches a session through a `.claude/` copy, and root `CLAUDE.md` is named as a file because a path prefix reaches nothing sitting in no folder.
-
-Markdown under one states what an agent does, so a branch touching it reaches review while `docs/` and `wiki/` still skip and stay gated by `docs-sync`, `canon markdown audit`, and pre-push hooks.
-
-An empty changed-file list stops the chain rather than counting as prose-only. The filename test passes vacuously on an empty set, which routed a branch past review instead of through it.
-
-`canon autoship classify` answers that decision now, and the chain branches on the record it returns rather than on a session applying the list above. Three runs read past the list while it was prose, the last of them a driven arm that staged a file the list names and shipped a draft pull request with no review. The verb takes the names the chain already computed, so no second diff baseline resolves, and it names the file and the test that decided. [Review classification](../agents/review-classification.md) carries the record shape and the exit codes.
-
-The list stays written in the skill body as the fallback for a target whose installed CLI predates the verb, since the two ship at different speeds. That fallback is never a skip: failing open is the defect the verb closes, so an absent subcommand routes to review rather than past it.
-
-#### Memory in the chain
-
-`git-ship` runs its verify gate and then opens on `memory-capture`, which sends what the session learned to the surface that owns it. `autoship` reaches the same step by invoking that skill at its Step 8 rather than restating the order. A fact about a domain carrying an entry in `canon/context/index.md` is routed to that entry, and `context-fold` folds it in on the next step, so it ships in the same pull request. Anything no entry owns stays a file in `.canon/memory/`.
-
-Capture leads rather than trails because a routed fact edits a tracked file, which has to reach the branch before the commit steps run.
-
-The chain ends at capture, and review is run on its own. Capture closes with a line naming `/canon:memory-review` once `canon records stale memory` counts 25 or more entries due, and says nothing below that.
-
-Run `memory-review` standalone to curate the pen a batch at a time. Each pass takes the first 25 due entries in the order the stale verb reports, opening on those citing a path the tree no longer holds, and a named list overrides that order. An entry it retires moves to `.canon/memory/archive/` rather than being deleted, since a bulk pass has no undo. An entry it keeps is stamped with a `reviewed` date, which takes it out of the queue for 30 days.
-
-The receipt is collected once every item on it has been decided, and it survives untouched while any item is still pending. Whichever runs first takes it: Apply collects the receipt it has resolved, and `context-fold` scans the folder on every shipped branch for one an earlier session left behind. Before the file goes, each declined item is folded into the entry it was about, since a promotion survives in its target and in git while a decline is recorded nowhere else. `canon standards memory` states what a fold writes and which entry types take one.

An archive sits inside the record folder it archives rather than beside it, so one ignore entry and one backed-folder entry cover a record and everything it has retired.
