 bound-lock/1 about="# Contributing to Bound\n\nBring a counterexample, an observation or a proposed lot. Include the inputs and the output that led you to it. A signature establishes who was authorized to speak; it does not make their result true.\n\n## Set up a working copy\n\nClone the repository and use the Node version supported by package.json. If package-lock.json is present, run npm ci; otherwise use npm install --ignore-scripts --no-package-lock. Then run:\n\n```sh\nnpm run build\nnpm test\n```\n\nThese are development checks, not project acceptance. For a place with admitted trust context and native receipts, run the product judgement as well:\n\n```sh\nnpx @lapxo/bound@0.1.0 fold --check\n```\n\nPreserve a refusal and its exit status in your report. Do not borrow a neighbouring checkout's ledger or substitute local bytes for a named pin.\n\n## Make the smallest useful change\n\nBound owns admission, folding and evidence. Topos owns grammar, forms, classes, views and their contracts. A selected topos owns domain measurement. Obligations owns the algebra. Keep each change in its layer; do not put a domain decoder, path-based inference or a fallback for a missing pin into Bound.\n\nAn algebra change needs an independent oracle and a counterexample. A host change needs evidence for authentic bytes, failure propagation or reuse. A view change needs its declared region and implementation identity. A test should fail for a plausible incorrect implementation, not assert a source string or repeat the same expression on both sides.\n\nKeep regressions for changed signatures, unauthorized coverage, exact-id withdrawal, conflicting evidence, local versus travelling acts, corrupt content and duplicate delivery. Consolidate repeated setup and duplicate scenarios without removing distinct falsifiers.\n\n## Propose and admit\n\nKeep proposal and signed-lot files outside the repository. Use the current admitted wire, by=target, and no preassigned epoch or signature. The team's admitted key signs the lot; Bound admits it under scope coverage. The [usage guide](docs/usage.md) explains the transaction and external key-file requirements.\n\nSend the proposed lines with the leaf changes they render. A hand-edited render is evidence of the intended change, not an admitted contribution. Do not edit the accepted TARGET to make a test or ceiling pass. If a render disagrees with the lock, fix the proposed lines and re-render it.\n\nCommit only the project's TARGET.bound and native receipts.bound as bound files.

Include stdout, stderr and exit status for a CLI case. State which reader and input bytes produced the evidence; a source harness is not an installed-package proof.\n\nPolicy changes receive explicit team review separately from measurements of the proposed source.

 bound-lock/1 about="# Using Bound\n\nThis guide covers the current CLI in a place whose wire and authority are already admitted. A fresh unsigned TARGET is a proposal, not a trusted project. The prepared repository is not yet a certified empty-clone bootstrap.\n\n## Before the first fold\n\nYou need the team's accepted TARGET and trust context, authentic bytes for each selected digest, and the readers/views that TARGET names. Do not borrow a neighbouring repository's ledger or copy node_modules to make a missing pin look available.\n\nThe published repository carries exactly TARGET.bound and receipts.bound as bound files. Local admission history lives in the ignored .bound/ store. Published standing excludes the signature envelope; owner public keys retain their signatures.\n\nStart by asking for help and folding the project. If a selected view is unavailable, use the named refusal and its fix; do not invent an output with a similar name.\n\n## Keys and coverage\n\nUse a named key already admitted by the project. The authority contract declares its public key, class and scope coverage. Signing uses a declared port. The lock names `keys/<who> measure=signer value=<name>`; `signer/timeout` and `signer/response-bytes` bound each invocation. The built-in `file` port reads a matching PKCS8 PEM outside the repository through `--key-file`. For a command port, the host supplies a `BOUND_SIGNERS` registry mapping that admitted name to `{ \"kind\": \"command\", \"executable\": \"...\", \"args\": [] }`. A repository declaration cannot authorize a program. `--signer <name>` must match the admitted selection.\n\nA new device must have its public key and coverage admitted by an authority that already covers the intended scope. The CLI does not currently certify silent key creation or tap-to-sign. This guide does not substitute a self-authorized fixture key for the team's authority.\n\nFor automation through the file port, supply the private key through the runner's secret storage to a temporary external file with restricted permissions. A command signer receives the lot once as canonical signed bytes, one line per record in order. It returns one canonical wire response per record, containing `by` and `sig`, in that same order. Bound verifies the entire reply against the admitted public key before any admission. Timeout, nonzero exit, missing or invalid replies refuse the whole lot; raw signer output is not logged. Hosts can keep private keys outside Bound through this port. Key generation, storage and rotation belong to the host. Do not print, commit or upload it. A source-control token and a Bound authority key have different purposes. Key rotation and revocation are changes to the admitted authority contract, not edits that erase prior signatures.\n\n## Proposal → signature → admission → reading\n\nPrepare the proposed lines outside the repository. Each line must use the current wire's fields, forms and required set. Configuration retains its legacy required fields, including `at`. Typed cells, claims and marks use their exact row grammar; `role=reads` or `at` cannot repair an incomplete typed record.\n\nA proposal names `by=target` and omits epoch/signature. The CLI assigns epoch from admitted history when signing. Never copy an epoch from an example or change a signed line's body.\n\nUse the signing and admission transaction in the README. Shell `&&` prevents a failed sign from being followed by land. Successful signing alone does not mean admission. Successful admission alone does not mean every requirement is paid. Fold after land and inspect its states, receipts and exit status.\n\nCLI sign authenticates wire inscriptions. It is different from the object's travelling ceiling sign. The selected Topos decodes spans and supplies origin/witness context; Bound must not guess those from by, widens or a path.\n\n## Reading and withdrawing\n\nAsk only for a view admitted by the project, such as cells. A local join widens that cell with a witness; it leaves the travelling ceiling live. A travelling require supplies a floor. Claims carry distinct origins; their signatures do not by themselves establish independent origins.\n\nFor typed histories, a negative record names the exact id in takes. Withdrawing a claim removes that live observation; withdrawing a join removes that local widening, not the sign. A fresh claim with the same content is a new identity, not resurrection of a withdrawn id. Re-delivery of the same signed bytes is idempotent.\n\nFor configuration, the negative line preserves the exact non-envelope selectors and changes value to withdraw. Do not withdraw and replace identical selectors in the same batch. Use a new epoch when superseding an alphabet declaration. Never withdraw evidence merely to obtain a green verdict.\n\n## Receipts and refusals\n\nreceipts.bound is native fold output. Do not write it by hand, use JSON from a test as a receipt, or copy receipts from another tree. Unchanged inputs can reuse verified region receipts; missing bytes require recomputation or a refusal. A duplicate receipt does not create another origin.\n\nREFUSE·wire means the current grammar does not admit the record. REFUSE·pin/release means named authentic content or its closure is unavailable or does not match. REFUSE·view means the requested view cannot be rendered under its contract. Authority refusal means the signer is not covered. Keep the line and the failed exit status; follow an explicit fix without changing the named digest or dropping a conflicting statement.\n\nrelease/blocks is policy read by the fold. Its admitted category links select existing obligations. The fold prints each missing reading or crossed ceiling as BLOCK; a blocked or incomplete policy is not READY. Read the captured verdict for the exact candidate instead of inferring acceptance from a successful render.\n\n## Repository and PR review\n\nThe accepted TARGET is independent of a contributor's scan. Commit native receipts and admitted renders, not local .bound/ state. A page disagreeing with TARGET must be re-rendered; a ceiling is not lowered to fit the page.\n\nA contribution is a proposed lot with the leaf changes rendered from it. Send that lot for admission by the team's coverage. Do not submit hand-edited lock output as already accepted. Check secrets, extra bound files, foreign vendoring and uncaptured page claims before review.\n\nA review includes the product fold, meaningful suites and verification of the rendered bytes. Preserve their actual output and exit status.\n" at=policy:bound/011-signing-docs by=target form=alphabet measure=text role=writes scope=prose/en/files/public-2 shape=docs/usage.md value=lock

A receipt is evidence of a reading, not another origin. Duplicating one does not add freedom.\n\n## Change a project without erasing evidence\n\nWork in the project's directory. Use an existing admitted key identifier and its matching private key stored outside every repository. The admitted key also names its signer with `keys/<who> measure=signer value=file`; `signer/timeout` and `signer/response-bytes` declare its limits. Your public key and coverage belong to the authority contract; possession of a private key alone does not authorize a scope.\n\n```sh\nexport BOUND_KEY_ID='your-admitted-key-id'\nexport BOUND_KEY_FILE=\"$HOME/Private/keys/your-device.pem\"\nlot_dir=\"$(mktemp -d)\"\n```\n\nHave the selected view produce a proposal at `$lot_dir/proposal.bound`, or prepare the project's permitted lines there for review. Unsigned proposals use `by=target`, without a preassigned epoch or `sig`. Lots stay outside the repository; the committed bound files are only `TARGET.bound` and `receipts.bound`.\n\n```sh\nnpx @lapxo/bound@0.1.3 sign \"$lot_dir/proposal.bound\" \\\n  --key \"$BOUND_KEY_ID\" --key-file \"$BOUND_KEY_FILE\" \\\n  > \"$lot_dir/signed.bound\" &&\nnpx @lapxo/bound@0.1.3 land \"$lot_dir/signed.bound\" &&\nnpx @lapxo/bound@0.1.3 fold\n```\n\n`sign` assigns the admitted epoch and writes the signed lot to stdout. `land` validates the whole lot before admission. A refusal is evidence to inspect; it is not success. Do not proceed after a failed signature or admission. The key file is a PKCS8 private key matching the admitted public key; do not put it in the lot, source tree, package or CI artifacts.\n\nFor typed object withdrawals, `takes` names the exact claim or mark id. Removing a local join leaves the travelling sign live. For untyped configuration, use the wire's exact withdrawal selectors; do not combine withdrawal and replacement with identical selectors in one lot. Wire alphabet updates supersede by epoch.\n\n[Authority, withdrawals, receipts and PR review](https://github.com/Lapxo/bound/blob/2053bb6d6188f04538114eae6a0add5166944ed3/docs/usage.md).\n\n## Select a topos by what it declares\n\n`sources/<name>` says where a world can be obtained. An admitted `uses/<name>` names the digest of that topos's folded standing: canonical live claims in wire byte order, excluding signature envelopes and host shape. Re-signing the same standing preserves the pin. A changed live form, class, view or offer changes it.\n\n`restsOn` closes artifact bytes separately. A capsule is one offer. Forms, classes and views need no capsule merely to be selected. Runtime and packing do not define standing identity. npm dependency ranges remain package metadata; they are not standing pins.\n\n| Responsibility | Owner |\n| --- | --- |\n| Meet, state, live acts and rest | Obligations |\n| Wire, forms, classes, views and offer contracts | Topos |\n| Admission, folding and evidence | Bound |\n| Domain measurement and representation | Selected topos |\n| Storage, transport and execution | Host |\n\nCell `restsOn` is the object's relation. Directory prefixes and file summaries are host coordinates, not object rest. Wire tokens are protocol constants, not organization, host, path or key literals.\n\n## Repository rules\n\nCommit `TARGET.bound`, `receipts.bound` and the outputs the forge reads. Ignore `.bound/` from the first line of `.gitignore`. Keep proposals, signed lots, keys, ledgers, caches and dependency blobs outside the published tree.\n\nThe lock is the project's own contract and pins. Read a dependency's declarations from its selected standing; do not copy its lines into your lock. README, package metadata and workflows must be renders of admitted declarations. A scan is an observation, not permission to lower a ceiling.\n\nA PR proposes lines and the leaf changes they render. The judge uses the team's accepted contract independently of the proposed revision. Preserve refusals, conflicting origins and unpaid demands.

+bound-lock/1 about="Bound reads a project's admitted statements and observations through its selected Topos, then renders the declared views and records their inputs in receipts. The example below explains the object; a file-fold alone does not calculate its intervals.\n\n## A meeting everyone can understand\n\nAna is available from 10 to 14, Luis from 12 to 16, and the room from 10 to 13. Their common availability is 12 to 13. A boss available from 18 to 20 makes the encounter incompatible. Withdrawing that exact reading restores the overlap; Ana, Luis and the room remain.\n\nWith an interval form, those are object operations: observe independent claims, meet them, withdraw by id, and read the state.
