+ * 🔴 A role is the file's, and the main file is the body. A file is `preamble` when TeX read it only
+ * before `\begin{document}` — before it opened `paper.aux` for writing (measured) — and `body` when
+ * any read of it came after. The main file, the first one read, is `body` whatever its place in that
+ * order: it holds `\begin{document}` itself.
+ *
+ * The text of the file is checked once, where it enters: `SourcesCodec` (`src/ports/sources-codec.ts`),
+ * whose adapter holds the zod schema of this shape. The domain holds the value.
+ *
+ * 🔴 STALENESS is the record's own question: `changesSince` compares the bytes now with `sha256`, one
+ * key per file, so a rule can tell that the paper changed after the build without running TeX. A `.bib`
+ * TeX wrote is hashed too: the rules read it from disk, so an edit to it after the build is a change.
