+## Available libraries
+
+This package installs the toolchain and a curated kit, so a repo's own
+`package.json` is nearly empty and every entry in it reads as a deliberate
+divergence from a platform default.
+
+**Import kit libraries directly. Declare one in `package.json` ONLY to override
+the platform version.** `import { ArrowRight } from "lucide-react"` works with
+nothing added to the manifest; the copy comes from this package. Adding your own
+entry wins node resolution, which is exactly how an override is expressed, and it
+also means platform bumps stop moving that library: `site-runtime verify` reports
+every override it finds, and never fails on one.
+
+The toolchain is different in one way: it is NOT overridable. A repo that
+declares `astro`, `react` or `tailwindcss` installs a second copy, and then
+`astro build` runs one version while these gates check another. Verify fails on
+such a declaration. A repo that truly needs its own toolchain version ejects the
+runtime and says so.

 success and prints the failing step's full output on failure. If it fails, the
 change is broken. In order:

+2. **font integrity**: every `public/fonts/*.woff2` is a real WOFF2 whose header
    size matches the file, and every local `@font-face` URL resolves. Corrupt

+ *
+ *   Tier 1, the toolchain (astro, react, react-dom, tailwind + its vite plugin,
+ *   the adapters, astro check). Package-versioned, exact, NOT overridable. A
+ *   repo that declares one of these installs a SECOND copy: `astro dev` then
+ *   resolves one version while the runtime's components were built and gated
+ *   against another, and two reacts in one page break hooks with no build
+ *   signal. So a declaration FAILS verify (`checkToolchainDeclarations`), and
+ *   exactly one astro has to resolve from the repo root (`checkAstroCopies`).
+ *
+ *   Tier 2, the curated kit (lucide-react, motion, radix, embla, clsx and
+ *   friends). The package's version is the platform DEFAULT and a repo
+ *   overrides it by simply declaring its own: node resolution puts the
+ *   top-level copy first, so no mechanism is needed and none is added. The
+ *   override is reported, never blocked (`reportKitOverrides`), which is the
+ *   guidance-over-gates posture applied to dependencies.
+ *
+ * Both tiers are read from this package's own package.json: the names from
+ * `iterant.toolchain` / `iterant.kit`, the versions from `dependencies`. That
+ * is the single place a library is added or moved between tiers, and it is the
+ * same source docs/runtime-contract.md's available-libraries table is generated
+ * from, so the table cannot drift from what installs.
+ *
+ * Imported by scripts/verify.mjs. Runs standalone for a quick read:
