+ * Resolve **per-type SOFT authoring conventions** (#646) — the third and final
+ * authoring-guidance layer:
+ *
+ *   1. HARD rules (validator-rejecting, code-sourced) → `authoringRulesForType()`
+ *      (`src/core/authoring-rules.ts`, #645). Never editable; the gate enforces them.
+ *   2. General stash standards (cross-type naming/tag conventions) →
+ *      `resolveStashStandards()` `category: convention|meta` facts (#642).
+ *   3. **Per-type SOFT conventions** (voice, structure, length *preference* for
+ *      *this* asset type) → user-editable `facts/conventions/assets/<type>.md`
+ *      (THIS module). Augments the built-in `TYPE_HINTS` fallback for display.
+ *
+ * These facts are **soft only** — advice, not contract. They MUST NOT carry
+ * hard, validator-rejecting rules: a user editing or deleting one must never be
+ * able to weaken the authoring contract the gate enforces (#645 boundary).
+ *
+ * Selection is by a `getAssetTypes()`-validated basename: only
+ * `facts/conventions/assets/<known-type>.md` resolves. Read directly from disk
+ * (no index rebuild); any missing dir/file, unknown type, or read error degrades
+ * to `""` and never throws.
