+### Fan-in constraints
 
 A batch in a fan-in set declares its side in a constraint bullet, ``Fan-in member of `feature-<integrator>` `` on a member and ``Fans in `feature-<a>`, `feature-<b>` `` on the integrator. `batches.md` holds when to fan in, and `canon records validate plans` reports `fan-in-unmatched` for a set whose two sides disagree.
 
-A constraint naming a `.canon/ready/` folder is a third shape beside the hold and the shared path. It makes that folder's files the verbatim source for the paths this plan's `## Files to touch` lists, per `ready.md`, so the executing session copies those paths rather than authoring them.

 ### Verbatim
