 `re-init` re-runs `init` against whichever stack `install-manifest.json` says was installed (no need to pass `--stack` again), but skips step 2 of `init` entirely — the root project scaffold (`package.json`, `src/`, `server.ts`, `docker-compose.yml`, etc.) and the root `CLAUDE.md` router are never touched. Use it after upgrading the CLI to pick up fixes to `ralph.js`/skills without re-scaffolding a project you've since built on top of.
 
-You don't have to remember to: on startup every command prints a 💡 hint (on stderr) when a newer CLI is on npm, or when a kit in the current directory was installed by an older CLI than the one running — naming the exact `re-init` command to run. The npm lookup happens at most once a day (cached in `~/.eventmodelers/update-check.json`, 1.5 s timeout, silent when offline).

Set `EVENTMODELERS_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1` to turn it off; it is also off when `CI` is set. When `run` starts on an outdated CLI in an interactive terminal (npx or a global install), it also asks `Update now … and restart this command? [Y/n]` — yes updates and re-runs the same command, no carries on with the current version.
 
 Pass `--stack <name>` to override the stack instead of relying on the manifest — useful if the manifest is missing/stale, or you want to point a `.build-kit` install at a different built-in stack's templates. It's mutually exclusive with `--modeling`.

Each entry point is a candidate **screen + command** (a person writes), **screen + read model** (a person reads) or **automation** (jobs, listeners, calls to other systems). Request/response payloads hint at fields; the caller hints at who triggers it.
 2. **Tests** — test names, fixtures, assertions. Names reveal the business vocabulary; arrange/act/assert is a *hint* for Given/When/Then, not its shape — which element goes into Given, When and Then is decided by `eventmodeling-elaborating-scenarios`, never by the test's structure (see *Scenarios* below); error cases reveal the rules that matter.

+5. **Documentation & other artifacts** — everything that explains the system without being executable. Look for it in the code root and its parents' obvious places: `README*`, `docs/`, `doc/`, `wiki/`, `adr/` / `docs/decisions/` (architecture decision records), `CHANGELOG*` / release notes, `CONTRIBUTING*`, API specs (OpenAPI/Swagger, AsyncAPI, GraphQL schemas, Postman collections, `.http` files), diagrams (PlantUML, Mermaid, draw.io, C4, images in `docs/`), BDD/acceptance material (`*.feature` Gherkin files, acceptance criteria), requirements, user stories and specs (Markdown, `.docx`/PDF exports), runbooks, DB documentation, and in-repo ticket or issue exports. Also read what configures behaviour: CI/CD pipelines, infra (Docker, Helm, Terraform), feature-flag and environment config — they show integrations and jobs the code alone hides.
+   - **No fixed list of file types.** Anything that could plausibly carry business meaning is a candidate: Markdown, text, PDFs, Word/Excel/PowerPoint, CSV and spreadsheets (reference data, rate tables, code lists), JSON/YAML/XML samples and fixtures, HTML pages, images and diagrams, email or chat exports, notebooks. The lists above are examples, not a filter. Judge by what the file may tell you, and treat the unclear ones through the relevance question below.
+   - **Find it by what is committed, not only by name.** List the tracked documents (`git ls-files` filtered to everything that is not source code, lock files or build output; without git, find them) and skim titles and file names. Any committed Markdown, text or PDF file can hold requirements, specs, notes or a glossary — but also changelogs of dependencies, licences, generated output or stale scratch notes.
+   - **In doubt, ask whether a document is relevant** — one question, listing the candidates: *"I found `docs/visits.md`, `NOTES.txt` and `design/old-flow.md`. Which of these describe the business and should I use? Anything to ignore?"* Like the Step 1 question this is **not a gate**: post it, carry on with the code, and use only the unambiguous documents (README, `docs/`, ADRs, API specs) until the answer arrives. Record the answer (relevant / ignored) in the chapter's `Legacy Sources` note and reuse it on later passes. Never read a document as authoritative just because it is committed.
+   - **What it gives you**: the **vocabulary** and the *intent* — glossary terms, personas and roles, the stated purpose of a flow, the rules in prose, the order in user stories and sequence diagrams, the systems around this one, and the *why* behind decisions (ADRs). Often the quickest source for the order and for the business term behind a code name.
+   - **Trust it least on "what the system does today".** Documentation goes stale; code and tests show behaviour, docs show intent. Where a document and the code disagree, that is a question for the person (see below) — and the date, version or commit of the document is part of the evidence. A document is also a *summary*: a flow it describes still has to be found in the code, or marked as documented-only.
+   - **PDFs** (specs, requirement documents, manuals, exported wiki pages) are read like any other document: with the Read tool page by page (`pages`, max 20 per request), starting with the table of contents and the pages relevant to the current chapter. They are subject to the same relevance question as `.md`/`.txt` files.
+   - Documents too large or too binary to read fully (very long PDFs, Word files, a diagram image): skim headings and the parts for the current chapter, and for a whole document to be modelled use `summarize` instead of re-implementing it here.

 Element `description`s still carry their own short code reference. The feedback notes add the *why* and the decisions that span several elements.
