+ * FAF DNA — the lifecycle of AI context. The "first heartbeat".
+ *
+ * Every project.faf gets a `.faf-dna` lineage record (separate file, NOT
+ * embedded in the .faf — so it's compatible with the clean dialect):
+ *   - Birth Certificate: the honest first score (even 0%) — the "before" picture
+ *   - Growth Record: version history as the score improves
+ *   - Journey: the one-line story, e.g. "22% → 85% → 99% ← 92%"
+ *
+ * Birth DNA = the raw slot-based score at init. The growth from Birth DNA to
+ * the current score is the demonstrated value of FAF.
+ *
+ * Restored 2026-05-21 — silently dropped in the v6.0 clean-architecture rewrite
+ * (it was never knowingly removed). Ported from v5 (sync, v6-native, load-compatible).
+ *
+ * Other shapes. `.faf-dna` is committed lineage, and other tools have written
+ * it in their own shape (claude-faf-mcp's faf_dna wrote `milestones` at the top
+ * level and no `versions` or `growth`). Reading never throws on such a file: it
+ * reads what it can, and missing parts are derived from what is there. Writing
+ * is different: recordGrowth rewrites the file only when faf can prove it wrote
+ * every byte — the file is in faf's shape AND its text is exactly faf's own
+ * serialisation of what it holds (`JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)` and a final
+ * newline), and nothing faf would replace carries a note of the user's. Hand
+ * formatting, CRLF, reordered keys, a repeated key or a number JSON cannot hold
+ * exactly (a 20-digit id) would all be lost in a rewrite, so such a file — like
+ * one in another shape — is read and left exactly as it is, and
