-**Cascade merge:** scalars (`title`, `description`) replace last-wins root → leaf; arrays (`tags`) union-and-dedup; file frontmatter wins per-scalar over folder defaults, tags union with the cascade.
+A doc's frontmatter is exactly its own on-disk YAML — folder frontmatter never overlays values onto it. Give new docs starting properties with a template, not with folder frontmatter.
 
 ### Read the folder before writing (MUST)
 
-Before creating or editing docs in a folder, **always** call `exec("ls -A <folder>")` once. The response carries `frontmatter_defaults` (the merged cascade) + `templates_available` (the template menu for `write_document({ template })`). Skipping this is how agents land docs that violate folder discipline.

 2. **Read `templates_available`** — each entry has `name`, `title`, `description`, `scope` (`local` / `inherited`). If one matches, **prefer it** over free-form markdown (it's the folder's contract — templates carry frontmatter + body structure hand-authored docs routinely miss).
 3. **Read recent siblings** — new docs should match the shape of existing ones (filename, frontmatter, body structure).
 4. **Confirm content scope** — `content.dir` (`.ok/config.yml`) defines the root. `.gitignore` / `.okignore` (nested at any depth) define exclusions.
