\"promote draft\n * -> verified\".\n *\n * Everything else loam checks is internal consistency, and an agent writing\n * fluent prose satisfies all of it. This is the one command that records a\n * person: they read the code, they say the document matches it, and loam stamps\n * a digest of what they read — and a digest of the document they read it\n * against, so neither side can move quietly. From then on `loam validate` can\n * tell the difference between a document nobody has checked, one that still\n * matches the code, one the code has moved out from under, and one whose own\n * prose changed after the stamp.\n *\n * \"Records a person\" was, for two releases, a thing this file said and did not\n * do. There was no `vouched_by`, no identity of any kind and no interactive\n * gate, so an agent could run it twice unattended and stamp `verified` both\n * times — while the skill files loam generates pre-approved `Bash(loam:*)`,\n * which meant the agent that wrote the draft was permitted to promote it. Three\n * things close that, and none of them is a signature: the stamp carries git's\n * `user.email` (`vouched_by`), the run refuses without a terminal or an explicit\n * `--yes`, and the generated allowlist names loam's read-only and authoring\n * verbs one by one instead of all of them (core/agent/tools/dialects.ts).

+This is a **loam** docs repo: the shared source of truth for a governed software

+is plain files. \`loam\` reads and writes them; delete \`loam\` and the docs remain.
+
+**The bar this artifact set aims at is reproducibility**: a reader should be able
+to answer, from these files alone — what each governed boundary exposes, what it
+reaches, what shapes it exchanges, how it is run, and what pages whom —
+without opening the code. \`loam validate\` grades form and joins, never depth:
+green means the files agree with each other, and the bar is what "done" is

+
+## Linking between documents
+
+Documents here link to each other with **standard markdown links**, and the
+target is a relative path to the file:
+
+\`\`\`markdown
+[0001 — transactional outbox](../../architecture/adrs/0001-transactional-outbox.md)
+\`\`\`
+
+Two reasons, and the second is the one that decides it. A markdown link renders
+as a link in pull-request review, which is where these documents are actually
+read, while \`[[0001 transactional outbox]]\` renders there as the literal
+brackets somebody typed. And its target is a real relative path, so "does this
+link resolve" is a filesystem question with a yes-or-no answer — where resolving
+a wikilink means reimplementing Obsidian's shortest-unique-path search across the
+whole repo, which is guessing, and loam refuses and names rather than guessing.
+
+You lose nothing by it. Obsidian reads a repo written this way with no
+integration at all — graph view, backlinks and search all work on markdown links
+— and its per-vault \`Use [[Wikilinks]]\` setting turns OFF, after which its own
+autocomplete and rename-tracking produce markdown links too. The authoring
+comfort is a toggle in somebody's editor, not a decision this repo carries.
+
+**\`loam validate\` resolves these links** (\`link.unresolved\`, error): a relative
+target that names nothing is a broken join, reported once per document with
+every bad link and its line. A link here is a **join**, not decoration — a
+requirement that names a term wants that term's document linked, and an ADR that
+supersedes another wants to say which, the same kind of relationship
+\`Operations:\` and \`Covers:\` already state.
+
+Three things are deliberately NOT graded, so write them freely: a target outside
+this repository (\`../../some-service/README.md\` — that tree may not be checked
+out beside these documents), a link to a heading (\`#section\`), and any link
+inside a fenced code block or an inline code span, which is how a document shows
+the convention without being convicted for it.
+
+CASE **is** graded, and deliberately: \`[Order](Order.md)\` beside a file called
+\`order.md\` resolves on Windows and macOS and 404s on GitHub and every Linux
+runner, so the message names the stored spelling on all of them alike.
+
+## The glossary — the system's domain words
+
+\`glossary/<term>.md\`, one file per term, nesting allowed
+(\`glossary/payments/authorization.md\` is the term \`payments/authorization\`). There is
+no \`glossary.yaml\`: a definition is prose, and the DIRECTORY is the list. The
+directory's existence is the opt-in — a system without one hears nothing.
+
+**A term is checkable because a link is a join.** Cite it from the document that
+uses the word — a requirement, a capability document, a feature's intent — with an
+ordinary relative link:
+
+\`\`\`markdown
+An [Order](../../glossary/order.md) is what a customer has confirmed.
+\`\`\`
+
+A citation that does not resolve is \`link.unresolved\` like any other; a term nothing
+outside \`glossary/\` cites is \`glossary.unlinked\` (warn). Terms citing each other is
+normal and does NOT count as adoption — a glossary is a network of definitions, and
+two terms defining each other say nothing about whether the system uses either word.
+\`loam list glossary\` prints every term with the documents that cite it.
+
+**A feature may bring a new word with it**: write it at
+\`features/<FEAT>/glossary/<term>.md\` and \`loam archive\` copies it into \`glossary/\`,
+\`loam unarchive\` takes it back out. This route is CREATE-ONLY — a term the living
+glossary already defines is \`glossary.term-exists\`, which \`--approve\` does not
+override, because the merge is a whole-file copy and would replace an authored
+definition wholesale. To CHANGE a definition, edit \`glossary/<term>.md\` directly in
+the same pull request, where git produces an ordinary conflict.
+
+Cite the new word at its FUTURE living path (\`../../../../glossary/order.md\` from a
+\`specs/<svc>/\` delta) — that link resolves while the feature is in flight, and the
+merge re-expresses it from wherever the text lands, so it keeps resolving afterwards.
+
+Write the definition for a reader who knows the business and not this system: what the
+word means, and what it is NOT (an order is not a cart). Never which service owns it —
+that is the system map's question and it changes.
+
+
+## Architectural obligations — what the architect hands the team
+
+An architect has always had one checked channel here: an edge carrying
+\`metadata { op 'authorizePayment' }\` obliges the provider to define that operationId,
+or \`spine.op-undefined\` fails the gate. Obligations are the same handoff for the rules
+that VARY — an outbox on this publisher and not that one, a circuit breaker on two
+edges out of five — and they are three separate things on purpose:
+
+- an **ADR** in \`architecture/adrs/\` says WHAT was decided, as thin or as thick as the
+  decision needs;
+- a **\`#obl-<name>\` tag** on an element or an edge in \`architecture/landscape.likec4\`
+  says WHERE it applies, so one ADR governs three edges and not the fourth without the
+  document forking;
+- **\`architecture/obligations.yaml\`** declares the names, so a mistyped tag is an error
+  rather than a word nobody notices.
+
+\`\`\`yaml
+obligations:
+  outbox:
+    description: Publishers write the event and the state change in one transaction.
+    adr: architecture/adrs/0001-transactional-outbox.md   # relative to the docs repo root
+\`\`\`
+
+**Your side of it is \`Covers:\`**. A tagged object with no living requirement covering it
+is \`obligation.uncovered\` (warn), and the finding names the service, the object and the
+exact line to write — \`Covers: <element>\` or \`Covers: <source> -> <target>\` in that
+service's \`arch.spec.md\`, with a scenario that proves it. An id is its own tag suffix,
+so it may hold letters, digits, \`_\` and \`-\` only.
+
+## \`loam.json\` — the wiring, in every repo
+
+A governed system is **N + 1 repositories**: this docs repo, and one per governed
+implementation boundary. Paths and commands call that boundary a \`service\`; it
+may be a modular monolith, a network service, a CLI or a worker. Every repo
+commits its own \`loam.json\`, so an agent, human or CI runner can find the rest
+of the system. There is no global config; without a \`loam.json\`, commands refuse
+with \`no-config\` rather than guessing.
+
+\`\`\`json
+{ "docsDir": "../docs-repo", "service": "payment-service", "gherkinDir": "features" }
+\`\`\`
+
+- \`docsDir\` — where the docs repo is, **stored exactly as it was passed** and
+  resolved against the directory holding the \`loam.json\`. So \`../docs-repo\`
+  keeps working on every machine that checks the repos out side by side, which
+  is the point of committing the file. An absolute path is a warning
+  (\`doctor.docs-absolute\`): it resolves only on the machine that ran \`loam init\`.
+  The docs repo's own \`loam.json\` says \`"docsDir": "."\`.
+- \`service\` — the canonical id of the governed boundary THIS repo contains, i.e. the
+  \`services/<id>/\` directory it is allowed to speak for. \`loam vouch\`,
+  \`loam gherkin\` and \`loam verify --service\` when writing with \`--record\`,
+  \`--results\` or \`--contract-results\` bind to it; without it they refuse
+  (\`repository-unavailable\`) rather than write another boundary's documents
+  from a repo that is not that boundary's. A read-only verify checklist needs no
+  binding and works from the docs repo.
+- \`gherkinDir\` — optional, default \`features\`: the directory \`loam gherkin\`
+  writes its own \`loam/\` subtree into.
+- \`agentTools\` — optional: the agent tools \`loam init\` has written command and
+  skill files for here, accumulated across runs. Written by \`init\`, read by
+  \`loam doctor\`; nothing else depends on it, and a config without it loads.
+
+**Step 0 of everything below, once per repo:**
+
+\`\`\`sh
+loam init --docs ../docs-repo --service payment-service   # in EACH service repo
+loam doctor                                               # before you trust any of it
+\`\`\`
+
+\`loam init --docs <dir>\` **joins** an existing docs repo; creating a new one
+takes \`--create\`, so a mistyped path cannot quietly scaffold a second source of
+truth beside the real one. \`loam doctor\` is the read-only preflight: it reads
+loam.json defensively, resolves \`docsDir\`, probes access, checks \`services/\` and
+the system map, and reports the service binding — run it first when anything
+behaves as though the system were empty.
+
+**Living vs delta.** \`services/<svc>/spec.md\` is the complete current state.
+\`features/<FEAT>/specs/<svc>/spec.md\` is a diff against it, reviewed as a diff, with
+requirements grouped under \`## ADDED\`, \`## MODIFIED\` or \`## REMOVED Requirements\`.
+\`loam archive\` folds the delta into the living state.

Everything here\nis plain files. \\`loam\\` reads and writes them; delete \\`loam\\` and the docs remain.\n\n**The bar this artifact set aims at is reproducibility**: a reader should be able\nto answer, from these files alone — what each governed boundary exposes, what it\nreaches, what shapes it exchanges, how it is run, and what pages whom —\nwithout opening the code. \\`loam validate\\` grades form and joins, never depth:\ngreen means the files agree with each other, and the bar is what \"done\" is\nmeasured against — a thin baseline that validates is thin, not done.\n\n## Layout\n\n\\`\\`\\`\narchitecture/landscape.likec4     the living C4 model of the whole system\narchitecture/permissions.yaml     optional system-wide authorization vocabulary\narchitecture/obligations.yaml     optional ARCHITECTURAL obligations (#obl-<name> on the map)\narchitecture/adrs/NNNN-*.md       optional SYSTEM-level decisions (MADR) — only their links are graded\nglossary/<term>.md                optional domain vocabulary — one file per term, nesting allowed\nservices/<svc>/\n  model.likec4                    this governed boundary's C4\n  spec.md                         its living requirements (current state)\n  arch.spec.md                    its living ARCHITECTURE requirements (outbox, retries, alerts)\n  openapi.yaml                    its API contract\n  asyncapi.yaml                   its AsyncAPI 3 event contract\n  adrs/  runbook.md  health.yaml  why it is like this, how to run it\nfeatures/<FEAT>/                  a change in flight\n  intent.md                       why, in business terms\n  delta.likec4                    the architecture change, tagged #<FEAT>\n  specs/<svc>/spec.md             the requirement change for one governed boundary\n  specs/<svc>/arch.spec.md        the architectural requirement change, same delta grammar\n  specs/<svc>/openapi.yaml        the endpoints this feature adds\n  specs/<svc>/asyncapi.yaml       the event-contract delta (optional; a complete AsyncAPI 3 document)\n  verification.yaml               what was checked once the code was built\nfeatures/archive/<FEAT>/          shipped changes — the evolution history\n\\`\\`\\`\n\n## Linking between documents\n\nDocuments here link to each other with **standard markdown links**, and the\ntarget is a relative path to the file:\n\n\\`\\`\\`markdown\n[0001 — transactional outbox](../../architecture/adrs/0001-transactional-outbox.md)\n\\`\\`\\`\n\nTwo reasons, and the second is the one that decides it. A markdown link renders\nas a link in pull-request review, which is where these documents are actually\nread, while \\`[[0001 transactional outbox]]\\` renders there as the literal\nbrackets somebody typed. And its target is a real relative path, so \"does this\nlink resolve\" is a filesystem question with a yes-or-no answer — where resolving\na wikilink means reimplementing Obsidian's shortest-unique-path search across the\nwhole repo, which is guessing, and loam refuses and names rather than guessing.\n\nYou lose nothing by it. Obsidian reads a repo written this way with no\nintegration at all — graph view, backlinks and search all work on markdown links\n— and its per-vault \\`Use [[Wikilinks]]\\` setting turns OFF, after which its own\nautocomplete and rename-tracking produce markdown links too. The authoring\ncomfort is a toggle in somebody's editor, not a decision this repo carries.\n\n**\\`loam validate\\` resolves these links** (\\`link.unresolved\\`, error): a relative\ntarget that names nothing is a broken join, reported once per document with\nevery bad link and its line. A link here is a **join**, not decoration — a\nrequirement that names a term wants that term's document linked, and an ADR that\nsupersedes another wants to say which, the same kind of relationship\n\\`Operations:\\` and \\`Covers:\\` already state.\n\nThree things are deliberately NOT graded, so write them freely: a target outside\nthis repository (\\`../../some-service/README.md\\` — that tree may not be checked\nout beside these documents), a link to a heading (\\`#section\\`), and any link\ninside a fenced code block or an inline code span, which is how a document shows\nthe convention without being convicted for it.\n\nCASE **is** graded, and deliberately: \\`[Order](Order.md)\\` beside a file called\n\\`order.md\\` resolves on Windows and macOS and 404s on GitHub and every Linux\nrunner, so the message names the stored spelling on all of them alike.\n\n## The glossary — the system's domain words\n\n\\`glossary/<term>.md\\`, one file per term, nesting allowed\n(\\`glossary/payments/authorization.md\\` is the term \\`payments/authorization\\`). There is\nno \\`glossary.yaml\\`: a definition is prose, and the DIRECTORY is the list. The\ndirectory's existence is the opt-in — a system without one hears nothing.\n\n**A term is checkable because a link is a join.** Cite it from the document that\nuses the word — a requirement, a capability document, a feature's intent — with an\nordinary relative link:\n\n\\`\\`\\`markdown\nAn [Order](../../glossary/order.md) is what a customer has confirmed.\n\\`\\`\\`\n\nA citation that does not resolve is \\`link.unresolved\\` like any other; a term nothing\noutside \\`glossary/\\` cites is \\`glossary.unlinked\\` (warn). Terms citing each other is\nnormal and does NOT count as adoption — a glossary is a network of definitions, and\ntwo terms defining each other say nothing about whether the system uses either word.\n\\`loam list glossary\\` prints every term with the documents that cite it.\n\n**A feature may bring a new word with it**: write it at\n\\`features/<FEAT>/glossary/<term>.md\\` and \\`loam archive\\` copies it into \\`glossary/\\`,\n\\`loam unarchive\\` takes it back out. This route is CREATE-ONLY — a term the living\nglossary already defines is \\`glossary.term-exists\\`, which \\`--approve\\` does not\noverride, because the merge is a whole-file copy and would replace an authored\ndefinition wholesale. To CHANGE a definition, edit \\`glossary/<term>.md\\` directly in\nthe same pull request, where git produces an ordinary conflict.\n\nCite the new word at its FUTURE living path (\\`../../../../glossary/order.md\\` from a\n\\`specs/<svc>/\\` delta) — that link resolves while the feature is in flight, and the\nmerge re-expresses it from wherever the text lands, so it keeps resolving afterwards.\n\nWrite the definition for a reader who knows the business and not this system: what the\nword means, and what it is NOT (an order is not a cart). Never which service owns it —\nthat is the system map's question and it changes.\n\n\n## Architectural obligations — what the architect hands the team\n\nAn architect has always had one checked channel here: an edge carrying\n\\`metadata { op 'authorizePayment' }\\` obliges the provider to define that operationId,\nor \\`spine.op-undefined\\` fails the gate. Obligations are the same handoff for the rules\nthat VARY — an outbox on this publisher and not that one, a circuit breaker on two\nedges out of five — and they are three separate things on purpose:\n\n- an **ADR** in \\`architecture/adrs/\\` says WHAT was decided, as thin or as thick as the\n  decision needs;\n- a **\\`#obl-<name>\\` tag** on an element or an edge in \\`architecture/landscape.likec4\\`\n  says WHERE it applies, so one ADR governs three edges and not the fourth without the\n  document forking;\n- **\\`architecture/obligations.yaml\\`** declares the names, so a mistyped tag is an error\n  rather than a word nobody notices.\n\n\\`\\`\\`yaml\nobligations:\n  outbox:\n    description: Publishers write the event and the state change in one transaction.\n    adr: architecture/adrs/0001-transactional-outbox.md   # relative to the docs repo root\n\\`\\`\\`\n\n**Your side of it is \\`Covers:\\`**. A tagged object with no living requirement covering it\nis \\`obligation.uncovered\\` (warn), and the finding names the service, the object and the\nexact line to write — \\`Covers: <element>\\` or \\`Covers: <source> -> <target>\\` in that\nservice's \\`arch.spec.md\\`, with a scenario that proves it. An id is its own tag suffix,\nso it may hold letters, digits, \\`_\\` and \\`-\\` only.\n\n## \\`loam.json\\` — the wiring, in every repo\n\nA governed system is **N + 1 repositories**: this docs repo, and one per governed\nimplementation boundary. Paths and commands call that boundary a \\`service\\`; it\nmay be a modular monolith, a network service, a CLI or a worker. Every repo\ncommits its own \\`loam.json\\`, so an agent, human or CI runner can find the rest\nof the system. There is no global config; without a \\`loam.json\\`, commands refuse\nwith \\`no-config\\` rather than guessing.\n\n\\`\\`\\`json\n{ \"docsDir\": \"../docs-repo\", \"service\": \"payment-service\", \"gherkinDir\": \"features\" }\n\\`\\`\\`\n\n- \\`docsDir\\` — where the docs repo is, **stored exactly as it was passed** and\n  resolved against the directory holding the \\`loam.json\\`. So \\`../docs-repo\\`\n  keeps working on every machine that checks the repos out side by side, which\n  is the point of committing the file. An absolute path is a warning\n  (\\`doctor.docs-absolute\\`): it resolves only on the machine that ran \\`loam init\\`.\n  The docs repo's own \\`loam.json\\` says \\`\"docsDir\": \".\"\\`.\n- \\`service\\` — the canonical id of the governed boundary THIS repo contains, i.e. the\n  \\`services/<id>/\\` directory it is allowed to speak for. \\`loam vouch\\`,\n  \\`loam gherkin\\` and \\`loam verify --service\\` when writing with \\`--record\\`,\n  \\`--results\\` or \\`--contract-results\\` bind to it; without it they refuse\n  (\\`repository-unavailable\\`) rather than write another boundary's documents\n  from a repo that is not that boundary's. A read-only verify checklist needs no\n  binding and works from the docs repo.\n- \\`gherkinDir\\` — optional, default \\`features\\`: the directory \\`loam gherkin\\`\n  writes its own \\`loam/\\` subtree into.\n- \\`agentTools\\` — optional: the agent tools \\`loam init\\` has written command and\n  skill files for here, accumulated across runs. Written by \\`init\\`, read by\n  \\`loam doctor\\`; nothing else depends on it, and a config without it loads.\n\n**Step 0 of everything below, once per repo:**\n\n\\`\\`\\`sh\nloam init --docs ../docs-repo --service payment-service   # in EACH service repo\nloam doctor                                               # before you trust any of it\n\\`\\`\\`\n\n\\`loam init --docs <dir>\\` **joins** an existing docs repo; creating a new one\ntakes \\`--create\\`, so a mistyped path cannot quietly scaffold a second source of\ntruth beside the real one. \\`loam doctor\\` is the read-only preflight: it reads\nloam.json defensively, resolves \\`docsDir\\`, probes access, checks \\`services/\\` and\nthe system map, and reports the service binding — run it first when anything\nbehaves as though the system were empty.\n\n**Living vs delta.** \\`services/<svc>/spec.md\\` is the complete current state.\n\\`features/<FEAT>/specs/<svc>/spec.md\\` is a diff against it, reviewed as a diff, with\nrequirements grouped under \\`## ADDED\\`, \\`## MODIFIED\\` or \\`## REMOVED Requirements\\`.\n\\`loam archive\\` folds the delta into the living state.\n\n`;\n"]}
