 `mdkg upgrade` previews safe scaffold updates for existing workspaces and writes nothing by default.
 
 Use `mdkg upgrade --apply` only after reviewing `safe_to_apply`, `will_write_paths`, and `apply_side_effects` in the receipt. Local customizations are preserved and reported instead of overwritten. Missing built-in templates can be loaded from the installed package as a read-only fallback until you vendor them with upgrade.
+
+## Snapshot Bundles
+
+Create explicit full `.mdkg` graph snapshots with:
+
+```bash
+mdkg archive compress --all
+mdkg archive verify --json
+mdkg bundle create --profile private
+mdkg bundle verify .mdkg/bundles/private/all.mdkg.zip
+```
+
+Use this as a pre-commit recommendation only when the repo tracks archive caches or `.mdkg/bundles/`. Private bundles are local graph transport artifacts and may be tracked in private repos when configured. Public bundles require selected workspaces with `visibility: public` and fail closed when public records reference private graph, archive, or imported records.
+
+Register child bundle snapshots as read-only imports with:
+
+```bash
+mdkg bundle import add child_repo child-repo/.mdkg/bundles/private/all.mdkg.zip --source-path child-repo
+mdkg bundle import verify child_repo --json
+```
+
+Imported nodes use the import alias as their qid prefix and can be inspected or packed, but mutations must happen in the owning child repo.
+
+## Archive and Work Mirrors
+
+Archive source/artifact files with:
+
+```bash
+mdkg archive add <file> --id archive.example --kind source --visibility private
+mdkg archive verify archive://archive.example
+```
+
+`mdkg validate` and `mdkg archive verify` both check the archive sidecar contract and deterministic ZIP payload integrity. Raw local archive source copies under `.mdkg/archive/**/source/` are ignored by default; sidecar `.md` files and ZIP caches are the commit-eligible evidence. Outside-repo sources are recorded as `external:<basename>`, and `mdkg doctor` warns about large ZIP caches using `archive.large_cache_warning_bytes` from `.mdkg/config.json`.
+
+Use work lifecycle helpers for semantic mirrors only:
+
+```bash
+mdkg work contract new "example capability" --id work.example --agent-id agent.example --kind example --inputs prompt:text:required --outputs result:text:required
+mdkg work order new "example request" --id order.example-1 --work-id work.example --requester user://example
+mdkg work receipt new "example receipt" --id receipt.example-1 --work-order-id order.example-1 --outcome success
+```
+
+Receipt statuses are `recorded`, `verified`, `rejected`, and `superseded`.
+Update and artifact commands accept local ids or local qids; imported bundle qids are read-only and must be changed in their source workspace.
+
+Production orders, receipts, feedback, disputes, payments, ledgers, marketplace inventory, fulfillment records, and execution state remain canonical outside mdkg. mdkg stores committed semantic mirrors and reviewable evidence. Do not store raw secrets, credentials, live payment state, ledger mutations, canonical marketplace state, or bulky raw payloads in these mirrors.
+
+Use `artifact://...` for external or runtime-managed artifact identities. Use `archive://...` only for committed mdkg archive sidecars.
