+The inventory is a Markdown file in the product's own repository: a few `- Key: value` lines (authority, interval,

+(a credential written as a value, a channel counted as connected without the date of a proven read, an unknown kind,

 ## The session hooks
 
-In Claude Code this plugin ships five: at session start and `/clear`, in a project that uses Fabric, the preamble
-above (one line pointing at Step 1 when Fabric is down), elsewhere one line pointing at `fabric_whoami` while it runs;
-after each turn the turn's facts
-(HEAD and counts) and the board's unread count, and, once the running Fabric takes them,
-the other repositories the turn touched (read in memory from the transcript's tail, only host/owner/name sent); at
-each prompt one line when that count rose, then each reminder Fabric gave on a turn, once, as a line starting
-`Fabric:`: data to act on first through `fabric_work_list` (it may come again there: act on it once); after a done release, the retro line (FAA-206); at the
-end, the release of what the session left claimed. They call Fabric only when it advertises `session-hooks/1`, are
-silent in a session Fabric launched but the retro line and, on a board request, the exit contract and the prompt
-hook's verdict (FAA-201), never block the session and read no Fabric token (a credential in an `origin` URL is
-dropped in memory, never sent). [Session hooks](references/session-hooks.md): what they do, log and need, and how to
-turn them off.

    `notes` say so, since then nothing about the gate reached the operator. Then it closes the workflow `done` once
    `com.get` reads it answered (step 6), and writes the retro (step 7). When the request is not queued, or the slot
    reads `stale`, `active`, or `absent` at a generation of 1 or more (a holder enrolled on it: a

    the operator after two runs with no answer). A
    capability listed only by a service's live grant, with no enroll yet, also reads `absent` at generation 0: a run
    declines it, which a service asking and enrolling at once (ADR-0186) seldom leaves time for.
