+
+# Shared knowledge snapshots and selective documentary history
+
+The owner accepted two changes while reviewing Compi's adoption under Hivex #17. Long ADRs mix
+current rules with replaced text, increasing ingestion cost and ambiguity. Keeping the derived graph
+only in a local store also makes each clone pay to rebuild knowledge and leaves no shared history of
+the interpretations used. Markdown remains authoritative; versioning a graph does not make its
+interpretations correct or its sources current.
+
+## Compact current decisions, preserve accessible history
+
+An author may move replaced decision text into a clearly historical Markdown archive, preserving the
+original text, dates and provenance. The current ADR retains the applicable decision, reasons,
+dependencies and exceptions, with links to its history and replacements. A completely superseded ADR
+may become a short pointer at its original path. Preserve referenced anchors or update their callers;
+age alone never makes a still-applicable condition obsolete.
+
+`docs/archive/adr/` is Compi's chosen convention, not a required layout for every adopter. Historical
+sources remain explicitly available for bounded retrieval when needed. They do not become the normal
+ingestion backlog or enter every consultation simply because they are accessible. Hivex must respect
+the project's declared source scope and report unavailable necessary evidence rather than silently
+omitting a dependency or treating an old rule as current. The author performs documentary compaction;
+Hivex does not rewrite project decisions automatically.
+
+## Share derived knowledge, keep execution state local
+
+The shared artifact is `.hivex/graph.json`: a portable knowledge snapshot suitable for Git, containing
+the reusable graph, source versions, evidence, provenance and coverage/uncertainty information. It
+allows inspection of what changed and reuse in another clone without regenerating an identical
+model output. Preserve known provenance and identify unavailable legacy metadata; do not invent it.
+
+`.hivex/knowledge.sqlite` remains the local working store for queries, incremental work, attempts,
+budgets and caches. `.hivex/knowledge.lock` remains local. The shared artifact does not carry process
+identities, locks, pending invocations or the model-response cache. Loading it must not overwrite
+unfinished work, erase failed attempts or reset an existing work budget.
+
+Use deterministic structural and source-version checks to distinguish reusable knowledge from stale
+or unavailable parts. A fresh clone should reuse matching knowledge; changed sources require only
+the necessary update. A snapshot may retain explicit partial or uncertain coverage. Serializing the
+same graph should produce a stable diff; normal read-only queries should not dirty the shared file.
+Snapshot operations must not trigger hidden model calls or source edits.
+
+This extends ADR 0010's portable second-brain contract and supersedes a blanket recommendation to
+ignore every artifact under `.hivex/`. The CLI supports explicit snapshot export/import and reuses
+the snapshot in a fresh clone. Configurable `history` globs keep historical sources available for
+focused retrieval while excluding them from ordinary ingestion.
+A saved snapshot alone does not complete Compi adoption; publication and process retirement follow
+the project's normal workflow.
+
+Delivery is tracked by [#53](https://github.com/H1V35/hivex/issues/53) (shared graph snapshot) and
+[#54](https://github.com/H1V35/hivex/issues/54) (selective historical sources), under
+[the approved extension to #17](https://github.com/H1V35/hivex/issues/17#issuecomment-5631587186).
+The CLI remains the existing behavioral test boundary for both independent deliveries.
