+Why: a local checkout is mutable. It can contain links, filters, and index
+state that do not agree with the visible file path. Review only objects that the
+resolver binds.

 ## Manifest and scope rules
 
-The resolver returns selected paths, `content_source`, `path_entries`, immutable
-base/head commits where applicable, selected untracked paths, and a
-content-bound `scope_digest`. Treat each path as a lexical repository object,
-not permission to follow a filesystem link.
+The resolver returns these values:
+
+- selected paths;
+- `content_source`;
+- `path_entries`;
+- immutable base and head commits, when they apply;
+- selected untracked paths; and
+- a content-bound `scope_digest`.
+
+Treat each path as a lexical repository object. Do not treat it as permission to
+follow a filesystem link.
 
 - For `--worktree`, compare raw no-follow filesystem content with immutable Git
-  objects. Never run configured Git clean/process/text conversion or external
-  diff hooks on live files. If the product contract depends on conversion,
-  inspect safe repository evidence or report that coverage gap.
-- For `--staged` and `--range`, inspect the selected Git objects, never live
-  worktree bytes. These scopes exclude untracked files; the worktree scope
-  includes raw untracked content in its digest, not only path names.
-- The resolver is intentionally bounded. An oversized manifest, unavailable
-  no-follow capability, or submodule-state boundary is a coverage gap. Rerun
-  with narrower paths or a staged/range scope; never sample inaccessible state.
-- Reject paths outside the repository root. Do not fall back from a requested
-  range, and do not create Git state to manufacture an identity.
+  objects.
+  - Do not run a configured Git clean, process, or text conversion on live
+    files.
+  - Do not run an external diff hook on live files.
+  - If the product contract depends on conversion, inspect safe repository
+    evidence.
+  - If safe evidence is not available, report the coverage gap.
+- For `--staged` and `--range`, inspect the selected Git objects.
+  - Do not inspect live worktree bytes.
+  - Exclude untracked files from these scopes.
+- For the worktree scope, include raw untracked content in the digest.
+- Do not include only the path names for untracked content.
+- Treat an oversized manifest as a coverage gap.
+- Treat an unavailable no-follow capability as a coverage gap.
+- Treat a submodule-state boundary as a coverage gap.
+- After one of these coverage gaps, run the resolver again with narrower paths,

 ## Inspect by `content_source`
 
-- **`worktree`:** `path_entries.kind: file` is a no-follow live object whose
-  recorded mode is part of the identity. Read it in full with relevant callers,
-  tests, configuration, and public contracts. For `symlink`, report only the
-  manifest path and raw target as untrusted metadata; never use a filesystem
-  operation that follows its target.
-- **`index`:** `git-blob`, `git-symlink`, `git-submodule`, and `absent` describe
-  the staged index. Inspect the reported immutable object ID or index object;
-  never substitute worktree bytes. Treat a `git-symlink` as metadata, not a
-  filesystem path.
-- **`head-tree`:** inspect the reported immutable object ID or range-head tree,
-  never the current checkout. Treat a `git-symlink` as metadata, not a
-  filesystem path.
-
-For `absent`, `other`, or `git-other`, inspect selected diff/object metadata
-where possible and report the access boundary. Review generated files only as
-their source and generation contract require.
-
-Revalidate the manifest before inspection when the host has a no-follow file
-capability. If it cannot keep an object safely in scope, do not dereference it;
-use tracked Git evidence where available and report the remaining file-content
-gap.
+- **`worktree`:** Treat `path_entries.kind: file` as a no-follow live object.
+  - Include its recorded mode in the identity.

+- **`head-tree`:** Inspect the reported immutable object ID or range-head tree.
+  - Do not inspect the current checkout as a substitute.
+  - Treat a `git-symlink` as metadata. Do not treat it as a filesystem path.
