+Results are LEAN hits — { id, path } + whatever \`select\` projects (or \`values\`,

+\`id\` straight into \`where id == "…"\` (no translation); \`select id, path\` is simply
+the envelope (no duplicate columns); any OTHER projection whose output key would
+be \`id\` or \`path\` must be aliased — \`select data.path\` is refused ("projection
+\`path\` collides with the hit envelope — alias it (\`p: data.path\`)"); a row
+surfacing as a value (an empty \`collect { }\`) is the same \`{ id, path }\`. Every
+other tool spells a row the same way (\`docs_read\` → \`{ id, path, rev, properties,
+raw }\`, \`blocks_read\` → \`{ id, type, text, raw, hash, … }\`, \`docs_list\` → \`{ id,
+path, updated_at, blocks }\`, a revision → \`{ id, path, hash }\`): hydrate by id via
+blocks_read/docs_read.
 
 ## Paths
 
 Every path the surface returns is \`/\`-rooted — the form a reference is
 written in (\`[x](/projects/oqx.md)\`, \`before: [/timeline/kickoff.md]\`): a
-hit's \`path\`, \`$path\`, \`$dst_path\`, every tool's paths. Every path it
+hit's \`path\`, an edge's \`dst_path\`, every tool's paths. Every path it
 accepts tolerates both forms (\`/a.md\` or \`a.md\`): tool arguments, \`refs(x)\`,
-\`within(...)\`, and a string LITERAL compared with \`$path\`/\`$dst_path\` by
-\`==\`/\`!=\` or passed to their \`.startsWith(...)\` (it is rooted first, so
-\`$path == "a.md"\` and \`$path == "/a.md"\` both match). A property holding a
-reference compares directly: \`where ^$path in list(after)\`,
-\`where customer == ^$path\` — no \`"/" + ...\` glue.
+\`within(...)\`, and a string LITERAL compared with \`path\`/\`dst_path\` (bare, or
+through a row handle: \`doc.path\`) by \`==\`/\`!=\` or passed to their
+\`.startsWith(...)\` (it is rooted first, so \`path == "a.md"\` and \`path == "/a.md"\`
+both match). A property holding a reference compares directly — and is never
+rooted: \`where ^path in list(after)\`, \`where customer == ^path\`,
+\`where data.path == "/x.md"\` (the author's \`path:\` key, as written) — no
+\`"/" + ...\` glue.
 
 ## Targets & field namespaces
 
-The sigil rule: \`$\`-prefixed names are engine intrinsics; BARE identifiers are
-your content. On docs a bare first segment that collides with an intrinsic base
-name (id/path/updated_at/content_hash/body) is REJECTED with a "did you mean
-$X?" hint (bare \`path\` would silently read an absent frontmatter key). Force the
-property with \`frontmatter.<k>\`. \`title\`/\`tags\` are NOT reserved: \`$title\`/\`$tags\`
-are computed and never shadow an authored \`title:\`/\`tags:\` key.
+THE NAME RULE: \`$\` belongs to OQX — $it, $key, $depth, $stop, $leaf, $frontier,
+$ordinal are values the LANGUAGE injects into a scope; omgbase adds NO $ names
+(a \`$id\` in a query is an unknown name, absent). Every engine attribute is a BARE
+snake_case name that WINS on collision — the convention the relations (children,
+blocks, out, in, doc, frontmatter, …) always followed: a bare name that is an
+engine attribute reads the engine's value, never yours. Your data is bare too;
+where a key of yours collides with an engine name, reach it through a source
+handle: \`data.<k>\` (the merged authored view — frontmatter + inline, exactly the
+read a bare non-colliding key performs), \`frontmatter.<k>\`, \`inline.<k>\`. So
+\`path\` is the engine's /-rooted location and \`data.path\` your \`path:\` key;
+\`tags\` is your tags ∪ the body #hashtags and \`data.tags\` the authored list alone;
+\`title\` the computed title (the first H1) and \`data.title\` your \`title:\`;
+\`entries(data)\` lists every authored top-level key. Same value, same name
+everywhere: a hit's \`id\` is docs_read's \`id\` and the \`id\` argument of blocks_read.
+
+  Reserved bare names per kind (engine attributes; handles; self; relations):
+    docs    id path raw hash updated_at title tags format | data frontmatter inline | doc | blocks nodes out in out_links in_links
+    blocks  id path doc_id raw hash updated_at type text attrs depth ordinal | block doc | children nodes out_links section
+    nodes   id path doc_id block_id kind name value attrs | section doc block | blocks subsections children
+    links   id path doc_id block_id via_id dst_id dst_path uri field dst_kind predicate provenance anchor | doc
+  A key of yours with any of these names is \`data.<k>\` (or frontmatter.<k> /
+  inline.<k> by source; attrs.<k> on a block or node).
