+   `all` still skips `DESIGN.md` when no UI exists, and says so in one line.
+4. **Write or refresh each selected document** from its template in *The doc set* below,
+   under the rules in *Re-runs*. **Invent nothing**: every claim cites `path:line`, or carries
+   the marker `⚠ to confirm` (in the user's language). When drafting is done, put every `⚠` to
+   the user as **one** batch of questions — not one at a time — and fold the answers in as plain
+   text. A command you could not run is recorded as `⚠ fails: <error>`, never as working.
+   Every document follows the three page conventions in step 5.
+5. **Reconcile the markdown (whole tree).** Check every existing page against the current
    implementation — renamed or removed APIs, changed flags, dead examples — and fix the
    drift. Add pages for significant undocumented surfaces; remove docs for features that no
    longer exist (deletion is deliberate — {{LAW}} IV). For substantial writing, dispatch
    the [docs {{AGENT}}](../{{DIR_AGENTS}}/docs.md). Keep examples runnable — run them.
    Every generated page follows three conventions:
    - **Typed frontmatter.** Open each page with YAML frontmatter carrying `type:` (one of
-     `overview`, `module`, `api`, `flow`, `how-to`), `mirrors-commit: <sha>`, and
-     `generated: <date>` — so drift is auditable per page, not only in the HTML footer. The
-     doc-home `index.md` is reserved and carries no frontmatter.
-   - **Fenced generated regions.** Wrap the auto-generated body between
-     `<!-- geneseed:doc:start -->` and `<!-- geneseed:doc:end -->` markers, and on re-runs
-     rewrite *only* inside them — hand-authored prose outside the markers is never touched

+     `mirrors-commit: <sha>`, and `generated: <date>` — so drift is auditable per page, not only
+     in the HTML footer. The doc-home `index.md` is reserved and carries no frontmatter, and
+     neither does the root `AGENTS.md` (agents read it raw) — though it still takes the
+     fences below.
+   - **Fenced generated regions.** Wrap each generated **section** between
+     `<!-- geneseed:doc:start -->` and `<!-- geneseed:doc:end -->` markers — one pair per
+     section, so prose a reader adds between sections survives — and on re-runs rewrite *only*
+     inside them; hand-authored prose outside the markers is never touched.
    - **Diagrams as Mermaid, keyed by purpose.** In the markdown, render diagrams as fenced
      `mermaid` code blocks — they render natively on GitHub, Obsidian, and VS Code with no
      dependency. Pick the kind by what you are showing: sequence for runtime/request flows,

+1. **Problem** — 2–4 sentences.
+2. **Users** — the roles, inferred from auth, permissions, and screens.
+3. **Goals**, then 4. **Non-goals** — the least code-derivable sections; expect most `⚠` here.
+5. **User journeys** — the top 3–5, as "As a … I want … so that …"; add a Mermaid sequence
+   diagram when more than two actors take part.
+6. **Functional requirements** — a table `ID | Requirement | Acceptance criteria | Status | Code`.
+   IDs run `FR-001`, `FR-002`, …; the requirement is one present-tense sentence; the acceptance
+   criteria a checklist; the status ✅ implemented, ◐ partial, ✗ absent, or `retired`; the code
+   the implementing path. Source them from routes, commands, screens, and tests.
+7. **Non-functional requirements** — the same table plus a `Threshold` column, IDs `NFR-001`, ….
+   The threshold is the measurable value the code or config fixes (timeout, rate limit, size
+   budget), else `⚠`.
+
+### `docs/DESIGN.md` — `type: design-system`
+Only when a UI exists.
+1. **Principles** — 3–5 lines on the visual character the code shows.
+2. **Tokens** — one table per family (colour, typography, spacing, radius, shadow, motion):
+   `Name | Value | Role | Source`. Colours add their semantic role and their WCAG 2.x contrast
+   ratio (relative luminance) against the reference background; flag every pair below WCAG AA.
+   A family the code has no scale for keeps its heading and one line: `⚠ no <family> scale
+   found`. List **hard-coded values** found outside the token system separately, as drift —
+   never legitimise them as tokens.
+3. **Components** — each reusable component: role, variants, states, key props, path.

+
+### `docs/architecture.md` — `type: architecture`
+The detailed architecture. Open with a link to the root `ARCHITECTURE.md` (repo-map's short
+map) and make sure the map links back — one fenced `geneseed:doc` line at its top, nothing else
+in that file touched; repeat nothing between the two.
+1. **Context (C4 L1)** — the system, its actors, and the external systems (APIs, SSO, shared
+   databases), as a Mermaid flowchart.
+2. **Containers (C4 L2)** — the deployable units and the protocols between them.
+3. **Components (C4 L3)** — one diagram per *significant* container, not one per module. On a
+   monorepo, work one container or package at a time.
+4. **Decisions** — lightweight inline ADRs, `ADR-001`, …, four lines each: *context · decision ·
+   consequences · evidence*. Structural choices only (framework, storage, architectural style,
+   decomposition) — not details.
+
+### `AGENTS.md` — repo root, at most ~60 lines
+The short manual an agent reads before touching the repo.
+1. **Commands** — build, test, lint, run: exact, and verified by running each one.
+2. **Non-obvious conventions**.
+3. **Do not touch** — generated files, vendored code, applied migrations.
+4. **Before you change…** — targeted pointers: a UI → `docs/DESIGN.md`; a new flow or
+   container → `docs/architecture.md`; a feature → `docs/PRD.md` (its FR ID).
+
+Geneseed may own a block in this file, between `<!-- BEGIN GENESEED -->` and
+`<!-- END GENESEED -->` — never write inside it. Create the file if it is absent; if it holds
+only that block, add the project sections below it.
+
+## Re-runs
+- **Reader prose is sacred.** Rewrite only inside a section's `geneseed:doc` fences. A
+  document that already exists **without** fences (a hand-written `PRD.md`, say) is never
+  rewritten: offer to fence the sections you recognise, or to leave it and report its drift —
+  the user chooses.
+- **IDs are stable.** Before rewriting, read the existing FR, NFR and ADR tables. Keep every
+  ID and any wording the user corrected; update only *Status*, *Code*, *Threshold*, and
+  *Evidence*; append new rows with the next free number. A requirement that disappears becomes
+  `retired` — never deleted, never renumbered. An ADR the code no longer bears is marked
+  `superseded`, never deleted.
+- **`mirrors-commit` moves only with a rewrite.** A document outside this run's target keeps
+  its old value, so its staleness stays visible.
+- **An answered `⚠` stays answered** — it is plain text now, not re-asked unless the code
+  contradicts it.

+1. Confirm independence: the subtasks must not depend on each other's output or write the same files ({{DOCTRINE}} process 8). Write down each unit's **write set** — the files or globs it may change — and intersect them; an overlap runs in sequence or goes to one owner, and shared append files (registries, index tables, lockfiles, generated bundles) stay with you. If they're sequential or share state, use [plan](plan.md) instead.
 2. Split the work into self-contained units, each with one clear goal and a defined output contract — what it must return.
-3. Dispatch each unit to its own subagent in one batch, each under a handoff envelope: the unit's goal, the inputs it needs, its output contract, and the inherited constraints (no commit/push — {{DOCTRINE}} process 5 stays with you; gaps reported, never invented). Hand each unit only the access its goal needs ({{LAW}} VII). Prefer the read-only [explorer {{AGENT}}](../{{DIR_AGENTS}}/explorer.md) for investigation so the heavy reading stays out of the main context ({{DOCTRINE}} process 3). Where no subagent capability exists, run the units sequentially as personas instead, converging the same way.
