+# Docs step
+
+## Purpose
+
+Docs-only units (changelog, template, migration) and the docs step for code
+units. Updates documentation surfaces per project conventions.
+
+## Inputs
+
+- The unit's objective and tasks
+- The project's documentation conventions from the agent guide
+- Template/ directory layout
+
+## Fixed output contract
+
+Update the unit doc's **Progress log** and any project docs:
+
+- Changelog updated per project conventions
+- Template files updated if the unit changes a template
+- Documentation map updated if new artifacts were created
+- Each doc change committed with a conventional commit message
+
+## Checklist (pass only if)
+
+- [ ] All docs the unit demands are updated
+- [ ] Changelog/templates follow the project's declared conventions
+- [ ] Documentation map references resolve (no broken links)
+- [ ] Changes committed on the correct branch with no unpushed changes
+- [ ] Progress log entry records the commit sha and what was documented
+
+## Forbidden
+
+- Do not change code in the docs step — only doc surfaces
+- Do not add docs the unit's scope does not demand
+- Do not skip the docs step for a code unit when the catalog demands it
+- Do not change the unit doc's Evidence or Progress sections here

+# Evidence step

+## Purpose

+One row per acceptance criterion: what was run, exit status/digest, observed
+output (≤2 lines), verified-by. A reviewer re-runs it.

+## Inputs
+
+- The unit's Acceptance criteria
+- The Evidence section (where evidence rows are appended)

+Append to the unit doc's **Evidence** table. One row per AC:

+- [ ] Every AC has exactly one evidence row
+- [ ] Each row contains: command/run, exit status/digest, output ≤2 lines
+- [ ] Verified-by names the model that ran it or a human reviewer
+- [ ] No invented evidence — every row corresponds to an actual run
+- [ ] The evidence reproduces — a reviewer can run the same command
+
+## Forbidden
+
+- Invented evidence is the cardinal sin — never record a row without running it
+- Never alter acceptance criteria to match evidence
+- Never claim a command passed when it did not
+- Never omit the exit status or digest
