Weave inline [[links]] to other nodes (canonical names from the namespace; red-links for wanted-but-absent nodes). The server re-authorizes the tier and resolves links. CREATES the node if it does not exist yet (project/person/org) — the conversation IS the evidence, so a brand-new entity that surfaced only in this session is authorable on the spot; you do NOT need prior records. Because such a node has nothing external to corroborate it, author it DELIBERATELY: only when you genuinely understand it is a real, distinct entity, and use its exact canonical name so it does not duplicate one already in the namespace (`user` nodes are never created). Use this continuously whenever your understanding of a node meaningfully advanced, and at session end (/log). Authoring is PRE-AUTHORIZED — never ask the user "should I update the page?" before calling this (every edit is versioned + reversible via page_history/rollback_page); update, then briefly report what you updated. ⚠ WHICH BRAIN A NEW PAGE GOES IN IS A CONTENT DECISION, SO MAKE IT FROM THE CONTENT. Only a page that exists in NO brain needs this — an update resolves its brain from the page itself. If you hold more than one brain, the server REFUSES a create it cannot attribute (409 `create_needs_brain`) rather than letting the write pointer decide — the pointer is stale out-of-band state that knows nothing about what you are writing. So call `my_brains` (it returns each brain\'s name, page count and sample titles, which is enough to tell what each one is FOR) and pass `brain` up front; that turns a refused round trip into a single call. State which brain you picked and why in one short line, then proceed — do NOT ask when the answer is obvious from the content.
