+### Installer layout
+
+In a consumer project, the installer (`scripts/install.sh`) and the
+package's own `project_to_augment()` projection produce a `.augment/`
+tree where:
+
+- `.augment/rules/` — **copies** of compressed rule files by default.
+  Augment Code historically does not load symlinked rules, so each
+  rule is a real file. Set `augment.rules_use_symlinks: true` in
+  `.agent-settings.yml` to switch them to symlinks once Augment Code
+  supports it (the toggle is honored by both `scripts/install.sh` on
+  the consumer side and `project_to_augment()` in the package).
+- `.augment/skills/`, `.augment/commands/`, `.augment/personas/`,
+  `.augment/contexts/`, `.augment/templates/` — **symlinks** into
+  `.agent-src/<subdir>/`. Reading a context follows the symlink to
+  the package payload.
+- `.augment/docs/guidelines/` — **symlink** into the package's
+  `docs/guidelines/` (consumer side: `vendor/event4u/agent-config/docs/guidelines/`;
+  package self-projection: `../docs/guidelines/`). This is the only
+  `docs/` subdirectory exposed in `.augment/`; `docs/contracts/` and
+  `docs/decisions/` are package-internal — rules that reference
+  contracts inline a 2–3 line excerpt instead of linking out.
+
+Cross-references inside `.agent-src/rules/*.md` are written
+**relative to `.agent-src/rules/`** (e.g. `../contexts/execution/foo.md`,
+`../docs/guidelines/agent-infra/foo.md`). Source files under
+`.agent-src.uncompressed/rules/` use **logical names** without a
+directory prefix (e.g. `contexts/execution/foo.md`); the
+compress-time path rewriter in `scripts/compress.py` translates
+them to the relative form when writing into `.agent-src/`. Hardcoding
+`.agent-src.uncompressed/` in source frontmatter or body links is
+forbidden and caught by `scripts/check_compressed_paths.py`.

+## Path resolution and Copilot integration
+
+Cross-references inside `.augment/rules/`, `.augment/skills/`, and the
+mirrored `.claude/`, `.cursor/`, `.clinerules/` trees use **relative
+paths from the delivered location**. They resolve through the symlinks
+created by `scripts/install.sh`, not via raw git checkout. This means
+GitHub Copilot's static checker — which walks the git tree — will see
+broken paths where there are none. **The gap is intentional, not a bug.**
+
+The package ships two complementary suppression artefacts:
+
+| File | Read by | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `.github/copilot-instructions.md` | Copilot Chat + PR review | Repo-wide coding standards, self-contained behavior |
+| `.github/copilot-review-instructions.md` | Copilot PR review | Path-resolution suppression floor (this section's mate) |
+
+Both are installed (copy-if-missing) by `scripts/install.sh` from
+`.agent-src.uncompressed/templates/`. Consumers can edit them freely;
+the installer never overwrites.
+
+The mechanical floor is `scripts/check_compressed_paths.py`, wired into
+`task ci` as `check-compressed-paths`. It validates `.agent-src/rules/*.md`:
+
+- `load_context:` entries must resolve to existing files.
+- Forbidden substrings (`.agent-src.uncompressed/`, `../../docs/`,
+  `../../agents/`) must not survive compression — unless declared
+  per-rule via the `validator_ignore:` frontmatter primitive (audited).
+- Body links to `../docs/guidelines/...` are intentionally **not**
+  checked (they are package-internal reference material, silenced by
+  the Copilot suppression floor above).
+
+### Verifying path fixes in a consumer
+
+If a regression is suspected, replay the smoke test against the
+package's own `.augment/` projection:
+
+```bash
+task sync                              # regenerate .agent-src/ → .augment/
+python3 scripts/smoke_path_resolution.py
+```
+
+The script walks `.augment/rules/*.md` and resolves every
+`load_context:` entry to a file under `.augment/`. A non-zero exit
+means a consumer would also see the same broken reference.

+Locked by [ADR-003](../decisions/ADR-003-flat-cluster-subs-and-colon-syntax.md)
+(2026-05-07). The shape is the default for **every** new cluster and
+every new sub-command added to an existing cluster.
+
+1. **Flat only.** A cluster has exactly one level of sub-commands.
+   No sub-sub-commands. A dispatcher routes `/cluster <sub>` to a
+   single sub-file; sub-files do not dispatch further. Two-level
+   dispatch is a deliberate contract change requiring a new ADR
+   superseding ADR-003.
+
+2. **Composite sub-names for verb+scope.** When a cluster carries
+   multiple verbs (e.g. authoring + execution), encode the verb in
+   the sub-name, joined with `-`:
+
+   - ✅ `/roadmap:create` · `/roadmap:process-step` ·
+     `/roadmap:process-phase` · `/roadmap:process-full`
+   - ❌ `/roadmap:process:phase` (sub-sub — forbidden)
+   - ❌ `/roadmap:step` · `/roadmap:phase` · `/roadmap:full`
+     (verb hidden — breaks symmetry with `create`)
+   - ❌ separate `/roadmap-process` cluster (domain split — forbidden
+     when one cluster can carry both verbs flat)
+
+   Sibling sub-names stay in the same shape: either all bare verbs,
+   all bare nouns/scopes, or all composite. Mixing bare and composite
+   in the same cluster is allowed only when the bare sibling is the
+   cluster's primary verb (e.g. `/roadmap:create` + `process-*`
+   composites).
+
+3. **Sub-name format.** kebab-case (`pr-bots`, `process-phase`),
+   ≤ 24 chars, no leading verb that duplicates the cluster name
+   (use `/fix:ci`, not `/fix:fix-ci`).
+
+4. **Colon-canonical invocation.**
