 ## Reading order
 
-1. `answers` and `asks` decide structure. A variant-bound answer has already
-   put that variant in use and archived its siblings (`inUse`, `archived`).
-   Stop iterating on the archived ones. Each `inUse` entry is pinned at the
-   `version` the user put in use (`read` → `inUse`): `export` and embeds show
-   that one, not your newer publishes, until the user picks again. A version
-   the user hid (`read --history` flags it `hidden`) is one they put away:
-   don't build on it.
-   The question `variant` (per state `variant:<state>`) is the viewer's
-   built-in variant question, read like any other. A `chosen` entry with
-   `other: true` is the user's own answer (its `label`), not one of your
-   options; it flips no variant and sets no knob. `note` qualifies the answer
-   and may come with nothing chosen. The user can attach images (screenshots,
-   references) to either: `images` on the `other` choice, `noteImages` on the
-   question, each `{id, url}`; the text may then be `""`. Look at every one.
-   Over MCP they also arrive as image content in the same result; elsewhere
-   fetch the `url` (with your token, if the server has one) and open the file.
-2. `tuned` holds knob values. Write them back into the source as the new
-   defaults. tunekit's skill (`skills/tunekit` in the tunekit package) covers
-   applying copied values.
-3. `borrowed` maps a part to the variant the user borrowed it from. Compose
-   that part from the other variant into the chosen one. If a borrow conflicts
-   with an answer, the answer wins.
-4. `comments` are anchored on a part in a state (`part: null` means no part).
-   Address each one. A comment naming a `variant` and `version` is a steer on
-   that version: publish a new version of that variant. One with `borrow`
-   (`{from: "felt@2", part?}`) asks for a new version of it that takes a part
-   from `from`: the declared `part`, else what its `text` says ("the face").
-   `reactions` are one-tap verdicts, one line each: 👍 keep it, 👎 rework it.
-   "more like this" asks you to explore around that version: publish 2–3 new
-   variants forked from it (`fork: "felt@2"`), each a different step the same
-   way. A reaction without a part is about the whole variant; one may end
-   with the user's note in quotes. Reactions never also appear in `comments`.
-5. `verdict` (`{kind: use|revise, state, variant}`) is the user's word on one
-   variant outside any question. `use` is their Use this, with the `version`
-   now in use; `revise` is their Revise: publish another version of that
-   variant (its `text` says from which). Archived variants stay in view,
-   muted; don't build on them unless the user restores one.

+   `read --history` flags a version the user hid `hidden`. The question `variant` (per
