+ * The two item shapes the schema's lists hold: a prerequisite item and
+ * a module source, each read by one reader of `config-sections.ts`'s
+ * {@link Reader} shape.
+ *
+ * Every other rule about a VALUE is `config-sections.ts`'s, and so are
+ * the rules every reader keeps, items included: a kind key matched with
+ * `===`, a null optional key saying nothing, and a key an item does not
+ * read retained as a {@link ConfigExtra}. The shapes moved here out of
+ * that module to keep it under the size cap of `context/source.md`: it
+ * stood at 792 lines before the move. `config.ts` re-exports the item
+ * types and kind lists, as it did while they lived there.
+ *
+ * The import runs one way. This module reads the reading helpers
+ * `config-sections.ts` exports, and that module imports nothing from
+ * this one, so the two form no cycle.
+ *
+ * ## The item shapes
+ *
+ * A prerequisite item names exactly one of `tool`, `env`, `service` or
+ * `lsp`, may carry a `probe`, and on the optional tier a `reason`. That
+ * is the shape of the block under "Config schema" in
+ * `.rafa/specs/phase-1-installable.md`. A `reason` on a required item is a
+ * key that tier does not read, so it is retained and warned about.
+ *
+ * A module source names exactly one of `npm`, `github` or `path`, and a
+ * `github` source may carry a `ref`: the source shapes of the registry
+ * example in `.rafa/specs/modules-and-addons.md`, which `modules:` lists
+ * "by source". This module accepts all three. Whether a source kind can
+ * be loaded is the module loader's answer, not the config's.

+ * setting spells inline, such as `oneOf(STORE_BACKENDS)`, stay beside
+ * their key in `core-section.ts`, or in `config-schema-release.ts` for
+ * a `pr` or `release` key.
+ *
+ * They sat in `config-schema.ts` until that module reached the 800-line
+ * cap of `context/source.md`, and moved out before any setting was added
+ * so a new key is not paid for by rewrapping prose. `config-sections.ts`
+ * still holds every rule about a VALUE but the release plan's, below,
+ * and the two item shapes, which `config-items.ts` reads;
+ * {@link mapOf} is here rather than there because what it rules on is a KEY: the names a map
+ * setting's file spells below its own key. Outside `packages/rafa/src/core/config/`
+ * no file imports this one by path: its names are read through the
+ * barrel `sections.ts`, by the release modules for the release plan's
+ * lists and by `tiers/routing.test.ts`, which reads a file's `routing`
+ * through {@link routeTable} as the schema does.
+ *
+ * The closed lists and readers of the release plan's keys —
+ * `release.strategy`, `release.settle`, `release.tag`,
+ * `release.publish`, `pr.versionCollision` and `release.fragments` —
+ * are value rules and
+ * sit here all the same: `config-sections.ts` stood at 781 lines,
+ * measured with `wc -l`, when they joined, and takes no new code under
+ * the 800-line cap of `context/source.md`. Each closed list is read
+ * through that module's `oneOf`, so an unknown value is refused in the
+ * words every other closed list is refused in.
+ *
+ * ## Path settings
+ *
+ * `release.fragments` names the directory a branch's wrap-up writes
+ * its change fragment into, and a fragment is committed data: settle
+ * reads the fragments present in the base branch's tree. So
+ * {@link fragmentsDirectory} refuses two paths `text` would take:
+ *
+ *   - An absolute path. The directory is read off a scratch worktree
+ *     of the base branch as well as off the caller's checkout, and an
+ *     absolute path names one place on one disk rather than a place in
+ *     every checkout.
+ *   - `.rafa` or a path below it, after `normalize` has resolved `./`
+ *     and `..` steps. `.rafa/` is gitignored, so a fragment written
+ *     there would never reach a commit and no fold would ever see it.
+ *
+ * A path is kept as written, as every other path setting keeps one;
+ * a caller joins it under the repository root.
+ *
+ * ## Map settings
+ *
+ * A map setting holds names the schema cannot list — a skill, an agent,
+ * a task shape — each with a value an inner reader checks, and
+ * {@link mapOf} reads one. Three readings are this module's:
+ *
+ *   - A name is a key the FILE spells, not one the schema knows, so it
+ *     is kept in a `Map` and never in a plain object: a skill named
+ *     `constructor` or `__proto__` is an ordinary name, and an object
+ *     would match it against `Object.prototype` or reset the
+ *     prototype. A name, like any string that names something, holds a
+ *     character other than whitespace, and is kept as written.
+ *   - Every entry is read, so a map with two unusable values names both,
+ *     as `listOf` does for a list. An entry's label and key gain its
+ *     name, `tiers.skills.tdd-guide`. A null value is handed to the
+ *     inner reader like any other, which is what a map whose values
+ *     include `false` needs: whether `false`, or null, means anything is
+ *     the inner reader's answer.
+ *   - The answer is a fresh `Map` per read, typed as a `ReadonlyMap`. A
+ *     `Map` cannot be frozen the way a list is — `Object.freeze` leaves
+ *     `set` working — so the promise that no caller edits a value for
+ *     the next is kept by building a new one each time.
+ *
+ * ## The branch template
+ *
+ * `naming.branch` is the template a plan's branch is named from: it
+ * holds {@link BRANCH_STUB} exactly once, and the branch is the template
+ * with that marker replaced by the plan's stub
+ * ({@link branchFromTemplate}). The default,
+ * {@link DEFAULT_BRANCH_TEMPLATE}, names the `feat/<stub>` branch every
+ * run created before the key existed. Exactly once, because a template
+ * without the marker names one branch for every plan, and one holding it
+ * twice leaves a guess which of the two a reader of the branch takes the
+ * stub from. Nothing else is checked: what git takes as a ref name is
+ * git's to refuse when the branch is created, naming the branch.
