-  them, and the project's config does not turn them off (`conformance-tests: false`). Without it
-  the module has no test reqs, and no conformance tests are written or run for it. Turning them on
-  later is adding that one import.
-- Read the templates a module imports before writing its specs - the folder is named below - and
-  write no requirement they already make (see `concise-specs.md`).
-- Write a functional spec's errors in the templates' terms: a backend's failure by its status and
-  `error.code` - `not_found`, `conflict`, `validation_error`, `unauthenticated`, `forbidden`, or a
-  code of the module's own - and a command-line tool's by its exit code and message.
-- Add a requirement on top for what the module needs beyond its stack - storage, an outside
-  service, a library it must use. When the module differs from its stack on something the stack
-  settles - another framework, another layout - write the stack yourself instead: an import cannot
-  be taken back in part. For a language with no stack of the kind wanted, import its
-  `stdlib/lang/<language>` and write the rest.
-- `stdlib/` is a reserved name. An import that starts with it is always the standard library's

+---
+
+# How turri regenerates the code
+
+The other rules say what a spec means. This one says what turri does with a change to it, so that where a change goes, and how it is made, is never decided by a wrong idea of how turri works. Each section ends in the same place: decide by what the spec means.
+
+## A change is regenerated as a spec diff
+
+- turri regenerates the code from spec diffs: what changed between the spec the code was built from and the spec now
+- A functional spec added, changed or taken out is that change alone, wherever it sits - first, in the middle or last of its module
+- The specs around it are not regenerated because their position or numbering moved, and nothing after it is built again. A spec inserted in the middle is one addition
+- "Specs render top to bottom, each knowing only the ones before it" is about what a spec may assume (`func-specs.md`), not about what a change costs
+
+## A change is regenerated in the chain's tip
+
+- A chain's code lives in its tip - the furthest module built on it. The modules below it keep the code they were built with
+- A change to any module of the chain, the base's included, is regenerated in the tip's code - not in the module the change was made in
+- Putting a change in a lower module costs no more than putting it in the tip, and saves nothing either
+- Moving specs between modules of the chain renders nothing. Moving specs into a module the code was never built on is the exception: no change to the code brings that module in, so the chain has to be regenerated from scratch - never done without the person agreeing
+
+## What each kind of change sets off
+
+- A functional spec added is built, with its unit tests; one changed is patched in place; one taken out has its code, and the tests only it had, removed
+- A definition changed patches every functional spec that uses its concept, directly or through other definitions. So does a change to a linked resource: the spec or definition linking it is changed though its text is not. A widely used definition is the costly edit - not a spec's position
+- Implementation reqs alone, or definitions no functional spec uses, are a mechanical change: the code adapts, and no test is written or changes what it asserts
+- Test reqs and acceptance tests reach the conformance tests only, never the code
+- Definitions moved to a common module and reqs reordered are recorded, not rendered
+
+## What a coding agent sees
+
+- A coding agent sees its prompt and its module's code - nothing else. It cannot read `.plain` files, this conversation, AGENTS.md or the person
+- What the code needs to know has to be in the spec. A fact said only in the conversation, AGENTS.md or notes never reaches the code, and is lost at the next regeneration
+- Steering reaches the agents that plan the work - how it is cut and in what order - not what the code does. What the code does is changed in the spec
+
+## How bad code is fixed
+
+- Never edit the code under `plain_modules/`: the next regeneration does not keep it, and the code record no longer says what the code is
+- In order of cost: change the spec where it is wrong or silent; regenerate the functional specs whose code went bad again, by name; regenerate the module from scratch, or its whole chain - only when the person asks for it or agrees to it
+- A pulse that does not land is rolled back whole - code, tests and record together - and its module waits until the spec changes or the module is asked for again. Running it again unchanged usually ends the same way: look at why it did not land first
+
+## Where the cost is
+
+- The cost is the work regenerated: how many functional specs a change touches, directly or through the definitions they use, cut into pulses of at most `max-specs-per-pulse`
+- Regenerating functional specs again, or a module or chain from scratch, costs most, and is only ever asked for outright
+- Placement never adds cost. Put a functional spec in the module that owns the concern, at the point in its order where what it relies on has been said; never at the end of a module, or in the tip, only to spare regeneration - it spares none
+- Never write placement for cost into AGENTS.md, a skill or notes: what is written there is read back later as how the project works
