+## Part C: People stubs for new meeting attendees
+
+Run this with `CALENDAR_EVENTS` from Step 1. No additional calendar API calls are needed.
+
+### Step C1 — Collect attendees
+
+Collect attendees across all fetched events:
+
+- Normalize `SELF_EMAIL` by trimming whitespace and lowercasing it.
+- For each attendee, normalize `email` the same way. Use the normalized email as the
+  persistent attendee identity. If an attendee has no email, a collection layer may use
+  `event:<event-id>:attendee:<index>` as a transient collision-safe key, but skip that
+  attendee before deduplication, note lookup, or stub creation.
+- Skip attendees whose normalized email equals normalized `SELF_EMAIL` (self).
+- Skip attendees whose `responseStatus` is `declined`.
+- Deduplicate by normalized email across all events.
+- Normalize the display name by trimming it and collapsing repeated whitespace. If it is
+  empty, fall back to the part before `@` in the normalized email.
+
+Keep the events each attendee appears in so every meeting can be written to the stub.
+
+### Step C2 — Check for existing People notes
+
+People notes live under `Lead/People/`, including `Peers/`, `Reports/`, and
+`Stakeholders/`. Discover existing Markdown notes from the configured directory:
+
+```bash
+find "$VAULT_PEOPLE" -type f -name "*.md"
+```
+
+Do not match by filename containment. Treat a note as existing only when its title (the
+first H1) exactly matches the attendee's normalized display name after case-folding and
+whitespace normalization, and its recorded email exactly matches the normalized attendee
+email. Create a stub when no note satisfies both checks.
+
+### Step C3 — Create the stub
+
+Create each new attendee at:
+
+```text
+${VAULT_PEOPLE}/<SafeDisplayName>--<IdentityHash>.md
+```
+
+Derive `IdentityHash` from the normalized email so attendees with the same display name
+cannot collide. Before constructing the path, sanitize the display name to a filename-safe
+basename: remove control characters, normalize whitespace, and replace reserved filename
+characters with `-`. Reject the original display name if it contains `/`, `\\`, or `..`,
+and reject an empty or dot-only sanitized basename. Resolve `VAULT_PEOPLE` and the candidate
+path, then create the file only if the candidate's resolved parent is exactly the resolved
+`VAULT_PEOPLE` directory. Never overwrite an existing path.
+
+Use this template, replacing the placeholders and adding one meeting line per event:
+
+```markdown
+---
+type: person
+role: ""
+team: ""
+last-1-1:
+next-1-1:

+
+## Step 5: turn the critique into something that outlives the session
+
+A score is a measurement, not an improvement. The improvement is the rule you write down, in a
+place a future session actually reads, before you move on.
+
+**Not every finding earns a rule.** Write one only when the finding passes both gates:
+
+- **Recurrence** - the same *shape* of mistake could plausibly happen again on a different task.
+- **Cost** - it would have reached the user, cost real rework, or damaged their credibility with
+  someone else.
+
+A one-off factual slip, a typo, or a finding fully explained by this task's specifics fails both.
+Writing a rule for it pollutes the store, and a littered store is worse than a thin one, because
+the next session stops reading it.
+
+**Write the shape, not the incident.** The incident is the evidence; the shape is the rule. Ask
+what class of reasoning produced the error, then name that class:
+
+| Incident | Shape worth keeping |
+| --- | --- |
+| Called an endpoint a read because the path was a noun and a sibling module imported | A conclusion drawn from evidence that does not cover the claim |
+| Priced an open design question as "small" in the same sentence that asked which design was wanted | Never attach a size to an answer you are simultaneously asking for |
+| Described a batch from the one member that was checked | Check the risk-deciding field on every member before describing the set |
+
+**Route it to the narrowest store the host has**, in this order, and only one of them:
+
+1. The user's or project's agent memory, when the rule is about how to work with this user or this
+   project.
+2. The repository's own `CLAUDE.md` / `AGENTS.md`, when the rule is true only inside that codebase.
+3. A shared, cross-session store, when the rule holds across projects. Use `context-repo` to resolve
+   it, or `shared-knowledge-artifact` when several agents need to read the same ledger.
+
+Broadening a rule's scope so it qualifies for a wider store is the failure mode to avoid: one
+incident on one afternoon is not standing policy. Let the evidence decide where it lands.
+
+**Each rule carries three things.** Without all three the next session cannot act on it:
+
+- **The rule**, stated as the shape, in the imperative.
+- **Why**, with the incident and its receipt, dated. A rule with no cost attached gets argued away.
+- **How to apply**, naming the moment the rule fires ("before drafting outbound text", "before
+  describing a batch"), not just the principle.
+
+Before writing to shared persistence, redact the incident evidence, including when using
+`context-repo` or `shared-knowledge-artifact`, while still including the incident and its dated
+receipt. This redaction requirement does not apply to local agent memory or repository-rule writes.
+
+**Dedupe before writing.** Read the store first. If a rule of the same shape exists, sharpen it and
+add this incident as further evidence rather than creating a second entry. Link related rules
+instead of restating them.
+
+**Then close the loop.** State in your report where the rule was written and what it says, so the
+user can veto it. A rule the user has not seen is a rule they cannot correct.

+
+## Step 5: turn the critique into something that outlives the session
+
+A score is a measurement, not an improvement. The improvement is the rule you write down, in a
+place a future session actually reads, before you move on.
+
+**Not every finding earns a rule.** Write one only when the finding passes both gates:
+
+- **Recurrence** - the same *shape* of mistake could plausibly happen again on a different task.
+- **Cost** - it would have reached the user, cost real rework, or damaged their credibility with
+  someone else.
+
+A one-off factual slip, a typo, or a finding fully explained by this task's specifics fails both.
+Writing a rule for it pollutes the store, and a littered store is worse than a thin one, because
+the next session stops reading it.
+
+**Write the shape, not the incident.** The incident is the evidence; the shape is the rule. Ask
+what class of reasoning produced the error, then name that class:
+
+| Incident | Shape worth keeping |
+| --- | --- |
+| Called an endpoint a read because the path was a noun and a sibling module imported | A conclusion drawn from evidence that does not cover the claim |
+| Priced an open design question as "small" in the same sentence that asked which design was wanted | Never attach a size to an answer you are simultaneously asking for |
+| Described a batch from the one member that was checked | Check the risk-deciding field on every member before describing the set |
+
+**Route it to the narrowest store the host has**, in this order, and only one of them:
+
+1. The user's or project's agent memory, when the rule is about how to work with this user or this
+   project.
+2. The repository's own `CLAUDE.md` / `AGENTS.md`, when the rule is true only inside that codebase.
+3. A shared, cross-session store, when the rule holds across projects. Use `context-repo` to resolve
+   it, or `shared-knowledge-artifact` when several agents need to read the same ledger.
+
+Broadening a rule's scope so it qualifies for a wider store is the failure mode to avoid: one
+incident on one afternoon is not standing policy. Let the evidence decide where it lands.
+
+**Each rule carries three things.** Without all three the next session cannot act on it:
+
+- **The rule**, stated as the shape, in the imperative.
+- **Why**, with the incident and its receipt, dated. A rule with no cost attached gets argued away.
+- **How to apply**, naming the moment the rule fires ("before drafting outbound text", "before
+  describing a batch"), not just the principle.
+
+Before writing to shared persistence, redact the incident evidence, including when using
+`context-repo` or `shared-knowledge-artifact`, while still including the incident and its dated
+receipt. This redaction requirement does not apply to local agent memory or repository-rule writes.
+
+**Dedupe before writing.** Read the store first. If a rule of the same shape exists, sharpen it and
+add this incident as further evidence rather than creating a second entry. Link related rules
+instead of restating them.
+
+**Then close the loop.** State in your report where the rule was written and what it says, so the
+user can veto it. A rule the user has not seen is a rule they cannot correct.
