+"""Classify or initialize a working tree.
+
+The router, define, and inspect phases call this instead of inferring
+brownfield vs greenfield from a directory listing. classify is read-only.
+initialize creates .project/STATE.md after classifying a new brownfield or
+greenfield project.
+
+Verdicts:
+
+- owned — `.project/` is a real directory with a regular `STATE.md` and no
+  unsafe project paths; route by that file, not detection
+- orphan — `.project/` is unsafe, or it contains an entry without a safe
+  regular `STATE.md`; the initializer's regular temporary state file is
+  recoverable and does not make the project orphaned
+- brownfield — no owned state, `.project/` empty or absent, and at least one
+  in-scope signal (package/build manifest, source file, tracked signal in
+  git, or substantive system documentation)
+- greenfield — no owned state, `.project/` empty or absent, and no signal
+
+Ignored path components: `.git`, `node_modules`, vendored/generated trees,
+build output, and managed GSD Path installation artifacts. `.project/` is
+never a brownfield signal; it only decides owned vs orphan. A title-only root
+README, with or without a Markdown suffix, is not substantive documentation.
