-## Why this exists
-
-A Kushi engagement folder (`<engagement-root>/<project>/`) is shared across all contributors via OneDrive. Several artifacts inside it are **logically shared** — every contributor reads and writes the same path:
-
-| Shared artifact | Path | Writers |
-|---|---|---|
-| Per-project integrations | `<project>/integrations.yml` | `bootstrap-project`, `propose-ado-update`, `apply-ado-update`, every `pull-*` that discovers an ID |
-| Bootstrap status snapshot | `<project>/bootstrap-status.md` | `bootstrap-project` (every run, any contributor) |
-| Open questions draft | `<project>/OPEN-QUESTIONS-DRAFT.md` (or `State/09_open-questions.md` on full profile) | `bootstrap-project`, `consolidate-evidence`, `build-state`, `propose-ado-update` |
-| Run log | `<project>/Evidence/run-log.yml` | every `pull-*`, `bootstrap-project`, `refresh-project`, `fde-*` |
-| Contributors list | `<project>/Evidence/contributors.yml` | every `pull-*` (first time an alias touches the project) |
-
-Without rules, two contributors running concurrently produce one of:
-- OneDrive conflict-copy (`*-conflict-<alias>-<host>.yml`) — silent loss until manually merged.
-- Last-writer-wins overwrite — silent loss of the other contributor's data.
-
-This doctrine codifies the contract every writer must honor. It is **not** a substitute for proper locking, but it makes concurrent runs eventually consistent and recoverable.
-
-## Universal rules (apply to every shared artifact)
-
-1. **Read-modify-write, never blind-write.** Before writing any shared artifact, the skill MUST read the current file, merge its new contribution, and write the merged result. Blind overwrite is forbidden.
-2. **Detect and absorb conflict-copies.** Before reading the canonical file, glob for sibling files matching `<basename>-conflict-*` or `<basename> (<host>'s conflicted copy *)`. If any exist, merge their contents into the canonical file, then delete the conflict copies. Log the merge in the run report.
-3. **Stamp every contribution.** Every line / block / list-entry that a skill adds must carry its alias (from `project-evidence.yml`) and an ISO timestamp so future readers (and the merge logic above) can deterministically reconcile.
-4. **Idempotent appends.** Re-running the same skill in the same window MUST NOT duplicate prior entries. Use a `(alias, source, window_key)` tuple as the dedupe key.
-5. **Never delete another contributor's contribution.** A skill may only modify or remove entries it created (matched by alias). Cleanup of other aliases' entries is reserved for `consolidate-evidence`.
-
-## Per-artifact contracts
-
-### `<project>/integrations.yml`
-
-- **Pattern**: read-modify-write with alias stamp on changed fields.
-- Whenever a skill discovers a new ID (CRM `record_id`, ADO `engagement_id`, OneNote `section_file_id`, etc.), it MUST:
-  1. Read the current file.
-  2. If the target field is non-empty AND differs from the discovered value, write the discovered value into a sibling key `<field>_proposed_<alias>` and add a Q-row to `OPEN-QUESTIONS-DRAFT.md` for human reconciliation. Do not overwrite.
-  3. If the target field is empty (or matches), write the value and append a comment line: `# resolved by <alias> on <YYYY-MM-DD>` immediately above the changed key.
-- The `last_discovery_attempt` / `last_discovery_result` keys MAY be overwritten by any alias (they are intentionally last-writer-wins; the value is "the most recent attempt by anyone").
-
-### `<project>/bootstrap-status.md`
-
-- **Pattern**: full rewrite is permitted, but the file MUST carry a `## Contributors who have bootstrapped this project` section listing every alias that has ever written it, with their last-run timestamp.
-- Before rewriting, the skill MUST read the existing Contributors section and preserve every entry whose alias differs from the current alias. Update only its own alias row.
-- The per-source status tables (`OneNote`, `Email`, `Teams`, etc.) reflect the **most recent** discovery across all contributors. Skills MUST cross-reference `m365-mutable.json` (which is per-user) — when a row shows discovered IDs, also note which alias performed the discovery in a trailing `(by <alias>)` cell.
-
-### `<project>/OPEN-QUESTIONS-DRAFT.md` and `<project>/State/09_open-questions.md`
-
-- **Pattern**: append-only with dedup.
-- Every question row carries `[asked by <alias> on <YYYY-MM-DD>]` as the trailing column.
-- Before appending a new question, the skill MUST scan existing rows for a question whose normalized text (lowercased, whitespace-collapsed) matches. If a match exists, do not append a duplicate; instead, append `, <alias> on <date>` to the existing row's attribution.
-- Rows are removed only by an explicit `resolve-open-question` action (out of scope here) — never by another `bootstrap` / `refresh` run.
-
-### `<project>/Evidence/run-log.yml`
-
-- **Pattern**: structured append + max() merge.
-- Run history (`runs:` list) is append-only. Every entry carries `alias:` and `run_at:`.
-- Per-source watermarks (`sources.<source>.watermark`) use **max()** merge: when writing, the skill reads the current value and writes `max(current, new)`. Never overwrite with an older watermark.
-- Per-source errors (`sources.<source>.errors[]`) are append-only with `alias` + `at` on every entry; dedup on `(alias, code, at)`.
-
-### `<project>/Evidence/contributors.yml`
-
-- **Pattern**: append-only, alias-keyed.
-- The first time an alias runs against the project, append `{ alias, display_name, email, first_seen: <YYYY-MM-DD> }`. Subsequent runs MUST NOT modify the entry.
-- `last_seen` MAY be updated by any run, max()-merged.
-
-## Implementation guidance for skill authors
-
-- Read `<workspace>/.kushi/config/user/project-evidence.yml` to get your alias via `Get-KushiConfig -Name 'project-evidence'`. Never hardcode aliases.
-- For YAML merges, use `Get-Content -Raw | ConvertFrom-Yaml`, mutate, then `ConvertTo-Yaml`. Preserve comments where possible by line-based merging when structure permits.
-- For Markdown table merges in `OPEN-QUESTIONS-DRAFT.md`, parse the body to a list of rows, dedup by normalized question text, re-emit.
-- On any merge conflict the skill cannot resolve deterministically, write the alternative as a sibling-key `<field>_proposed_<alias>` (for YAML) or a `> Disagreement: <alias-A> says ..., <alias-B> says ...` callout (for Markdown) and add a Q-row to `OPEN-QUESTIONS-DRAFT.md`.
-
-## Out of scope
-
-- True file locking (filesystem advisory locks, OneDrive's checkout API) — relies on platform support Kushi can't assume.
-- Server-side merge service — Kushi is local-only by design.
-
-## Related doctrine
-
-- `evidence-layout-canonical.instructions.md` — what lives where under `Evidence/`.
-- `run-reports.instructions.md` — per-user run narrative (always under `Evidence/<alias>/`, no concurrency risk).
-- `bootstrap-status-format.instructions.md` — format contract for the shared status artifact.
-- `citation-ledger.instructions.md` — every assertion in shared artifacts must carry a citation; alias attribution is the citation for shared-file entries.

Others are **per-user authored** — every contributor writes their own copy under `Evidence/<alias>/` and `consolidate-evidence` later merges them into `_Consolidated/`.

+Without rules, two contributors running concurrently produce one of:
+- OneDrive conflict-copy (`*-conflict-<alias>-<host>.yml`) — silent loss until manually merged.
+- Last-writer-wins overwrite — silent loss of the other contributor''s data.
+
+This doctrine codifies the contract every writer must honor. It is **not** a substitute for proper locking, but it makes concurrent runs eventually consistent and recoverable.
+
+## Per-user authored files (v5.4.4+)
+
+Three artifacts that historically lived at the project root are now **per-user authored** with an auto-generated consolidated view. v5.4.3 soak finding #5: every contributor''s `bootstrap-project` run was overwriting the previous contributor''s `<project>/bootstrap-status.md`, silently losing truth.
+
+| File | Per-user path (truth) | Consolidated path (auto-generated by `consolidate-evidence`) |
+|---|---|---|
+| `bootstrap-status.md` | `<project>/Evidence/<alias>/bootstrap-status.md` | `<project>/_Consolidated/bootstrap-status.md` |
+| `FOLLOW-UPS.md` | `<project>/Evidence/<alias>/FOLLOW-UPS.md` | `<project>/_Consolidated/FOLLOW-UPS.md` |
+| `OPEN-QUESTIONS-DRAFT.md` | `<project>/Evidence/<alias>/OPEN-QUESTIONS-DRAFT.md` | `<project>/_Consolidated/OPEN-QUESTIONS-DRAFT.md` |
+
+**Rules:**
+
+1. **Writers target the per-user path only.** `bootstrap-project`, `refresh-project`, `aggregate-project`, every `pull-*` (for `OPEN-QUESTIONS-DRAFT.md` rows they append), `propose-ado-update`, and the per-source verification gate (for `FOLLOW-UPS.md` rows) all write to `<project>/Evidence/<alias>/<file>`. The alias is resolved from `.kushi/config/user/project-evidence.yml` via `Get-KushiConfig -Name ''project-evidence''`. Writers MUST NOT touch the project-root copies — those are owned by `consolidate-evidence`, which writes to `_Consolidated/`.
+2. **`consolidate-evidence` owns the `_Consolidated/` copies.** After per-user files are written, `consolidate-evidence` (called either directly, or transitively from `aggregate-project` / `refresh-project`) emits `<project>/_Consolidated/<file>` from every contributor''s `Evidence/<alias>/<file>`. Deterministic merge — no LLM. Idempotent.
+3. **The root-level copies are NEVER written by hand or by skills going forward.** Legacy projects may still carry root-level `bootstrap-status.md` / `FOLLOW-UPS.md` / `OPEN-QUESTIONS-DRAFT.md` from pre-v5.4.4 runs; the `migrate-per-user-files` skill moves them to `Evidence/<alias>/` on first opportunity. See `plugin/skills/migrate-per-user-files/SKILL.md`.
+4. **Readers MAY read both.** Q&A / dashboard / FDE-report skills SHOULD prefer `_Consolidated/<file>` when present; fall back to merging every `Evidence/<alias>/<file>` themselves if the consolidated copy is stale.
+
+### Per-user `bootstrap-status.md`
+
+- Full rewrite by its owning alias only. Other aliases'' files are untouched.
+- The `## Contributors who have bootstrapped this project` section is no longer required on the per-user file — each alias''s file represents only that alias''s bootstrap state. The consolidated copy at `_Consolidated/bootstrap-status.md` reconstructs the cross-contributor section.
+
+### Per-user `FOLLOW-UPS.md`
+
+- Append-only by its owning alias under `Evidence/<alias>/FOLLOW-UPS.md`. Open / Resolved sections per `per-source-verification-gate.instructions.md` §B (5-field shape). Auto-resolution flips `Status: open` → `resolved-<YYYY-MM-DD>` on the alias''s next run when the gate passes. Consolidated rollup at `_Consolidated/FOLLOW-UPS.md`.
+
+### Per-user `OPEN-QUESTIONS-DRAFT.md`
+
+- Append-only at `Evidence/<alias>/OPEN-QUESTIONS-DRAFT.md`, dedup by normalized question text within the alias''s own file. Every row carries `[asked by <alias> on <YYYY-MM-DD>]`.
+- Rows are removed only by an explicit `resolve-open-question` action — never by another `bootstrap` / `refresh` run. Cross-contributor rollup at `_Consolidated/OPEN-QUESTIONS-DRAFT.md`.
+
+### Auto-consolidation merge contract
+
+`consolidate-evidence` emits three deterministic files under `_Consolidated/` (see `plugin/skills/consolidate-evidence/SKILL.md` Step 5):
+
+- **`_Consolidated/bootstrap-status.md`** — header + per-contributor sub-section (verbatim copy of each `Evidence/<alias>/bootstrap-status.md`) + a merged "Latest discovery sweep results" table preferring most-recent-resolved per source.
+- **`_Consolidated/FOLLOW-UPS.md`** — dedup-merged rows tagged with originating `(alias)`. Dedup key is the source + first line of "Next-time-do".
+- **`_Consolidated/OPEN-QUESTIONS-DRAFT.md`** — questions deduped by normalized text, with an attribution column listing every alias that asked it and the earliest date.
+
+Re-running `consolidate-evidence` is idempotent. Output is byte-stable for the same input set.
+
+## Universal rules (apply to every shared artifact)
+
+1. **Read-modify-write, never blind-write.** Before writing any shared artifact, the skill MUST read the current file, merge its new contribution, and write the merged result. Blind overwrite is forbidden.
+2. **Detect and absorb conflict-copies.** Before reading the canonical file, glob for sibling files matching `<basename>-conflict-*` or `<basename> (<host>''s conflicted copy *)`. If any exist, merge their contents into the canonical file, then delete the conflict copies. Log the merge in the run report.
+3. **Stamp every contribution.** Every line / block / list-entry that a skill adds must carry its alias (from `project-evidence.yml`) and an ISO timestamp so future readers (and the merge logic above) can deterministically reconcile.
+4. **Idempotent appends.** Re-running the same skill in the same window MUST NOT duplicate prior entries. Use a `(alias, source, window_key)` tuple as the dedupe key.
+5. **Never delete another contributor''s contribution.** A skill may only modify or remove entries it created (matched by alias). Cleanup of other aliases'' entries is reserved for `consolidate-evidence`.
+
+## Per-artifact contracts (truly shared root files)
+
+### `<project>/integrations.yml`
+
+- **Pattern**: read-modify-write with alias stamp on changed fields.
+- Whenever a skill discovers a new ID (CRM `record_id`, ADO `engagement_id`, OneNote `section_file_id`, etc.), it MUST:
+  1. Read the current file.
+  2. If the target field is non-empty AND differs from the discovered value, write the discovered value into a sibling key `<field>_proposed_<alias>` and add a Q-row to the alias''s `Evidence/<alias>/OPEN-QUESTIONS-DRAFT.md` for human reconciliation. Do not overwrite.

+- For YAML merges of shared root files, use `Get-Content -Raw | ConvertFrom-Yaml`, mutate, then `ConvertTo-Yaml`. Preserve comments where possible by line-based merging when structure permits.

+One-time migration for projects bootstrapped under kushi ≤ v5.4.3.
+
+Dispatch the `migrate-per-user-files` skill at `plugin/skills/migrate-per-user-files/` for the current project. Default to **dry-run**. Show the plan and ask the user to re-run with `--apply` to commit. If they explicitly request "apply now" / "do it" / "go" in the same turn, invoke with `-Apply`.

+- `<project>/Evidence/<alias>/bootstrap-status.md` (moved from root)

+- `<project>/Evidence/<alias>/OPEN-QUESTIONS-DRAFT.md` (moved from root)
+- `<project>/Evidence/run-log.yml` (appended `migrations:` entry on `--apply`)
+
+## Defensive behavior
+
+If both root and per-user copies exist with different content, the skill emits `[needs-merge]` and exits 1 in `--apply` mode — it will NEVER overwrite a per-user file. Hand-merge, then re-run.
+
+## After migration
+
+Run `/kushi.consolidate` to generate the `_Consolidated/` rollups for cross-contributor visibility, then `/kushi.status` to verify the bootstrap status reads from the new per-user path.

Per `multi-user-shared-files.instructions.md`, every write MUST: (a) absorb sibling conflict copies, (b) preserve other aliases' rows in `## Contributors who have bootstrapped this project`, (c) cite the discovering alias in per-source rows. Same rules apply to `<project>/integrations.yml`, `<project>/OPEN-QUESTIONS-DRAFT.md`, `<project>/Evidence/run-log.yml`, `<project>/Evidence/contributors.yml`.

Bootstrap MUST write all three under `<project>/Evidence/<alias>/<file>` (alias from `Get-KushiConfig -Name 'project-evidence'`). `consolidate-evidence` later emits the merged copies under `<project>/_Consolidated/`.
