 Humans curate agent context by pinning nodes; agents read that curation through
 `canvas://pinned-context`. State survives browser refresh.
 
-At the start of board work, read `canvas://context?consumer=<stable-unique-id>`
+Boards use `folder` for their nested Home path (for example `Engineering/Canvas`).
+File a board with `canvas_board { action: "update", id: "<board-id>", folder:
+"Engineering/Canvas" }`; `folder: ""` unfiles it. Moving preserves its ID and content.
+
+Before importing context from folders, repositories, documents or exports, read
+[Importing context](references/importing-context.md) for source inventory, mapping and verification.
+Choose boards by topic or workflow, not one per file, folder or category. Choose cards by useful
+units of meaning, preserve evidence and references, and verify rendered content as well as stored data.
+
+Knowledge lifecycle data is explicit, never classified automatically. `canvas_board` actions
+`knowledge-list`, `category-set` (`category`: id/name/glyph/decayType/rate/triggers/revalidationMethod),
+`category-remove` (`id`: unused only; explicit folder assignments, including empty folders, refuse deletion),
+and `folder-set` (`path`, nullable `categoryId`, nullable `lifecycleOverride`) work on Home without
+opening a board. `relation-preset-set` (`preset`: id/name/vocabulary) and `relation-preset-remove`
+(`id`) manage shared Home relation templates; editing/deleting never rewrites boards or connections.
+Apply explicitly with `canvas_board { action: "update", id, relationVocabulary }`. The board
+dropdown only filters existing relation kinds, not presets. `canvas_node` actions `lifecycle-get`, `lifecycle-set`, `review`, and
+`lifecycle-restore` take `id`; reads may specify `board`, writes should carry `expectedBoardId`.
+Lifecycle overrides are full decayType/rate/triggers/revalidationMethod objects or null to inherit.
+New child categories reset ancestor lifecycle defaults; cards never override category.
+Review requires outcome retain/revise/externalize/retire/unresolved, evidence, and applied.
+Only actually applied retain/revise/externalize with nonempty evidence and matching
+`expectedContentRevision` validates. Capture the revision from the actual card content you checked;
+never attach an unchecked newer revision to old evidence. Failed content persistence adds no review.
+Records retain the reviewed version; unversioned legacy records are unknown for current content. Reading,
+editing, refreshing and restoring never validate. Retirement lasts until explicit audited restore
+(evidence string), regardless of other later reviews. Retired cards leave briefs and pinned context,
+but remain marked in direct reads/search. Lifecycle qualification carries due reasons, unknown,
+source warnings and four separate clocks. For dependencies, send `expectedSources` captured from
+the checked lifecycle's `qualification.observations`; changed or unavailable sources refuse validation.
+Never copy new tokens onto old evidence. Brief `lifecycle` snapshots are independent of the content
+cursor: replace cached qualification when `complete: true`; recheck cached cards before reuse when
+`complete: false`. Unknown is not expiry. Medium uses only explicit `cadenceDays`, fast checks at
+session use, slow at resume, durable has no passive expiry. Presets are editable, never classification.
+Human review: Home's Review needed count leads to boards and their affected cards; More → Review
+asks for a short note and Checked, still correct. Not now writes nothing. Settings and history
+holds policies, clocks and advanced outcomes. No review policy is informational, not a review task.
+
+At the start of board work, call `canvas_board { action: "list" }`. If
+`activeBoardId` is null (Home), open the board intended for the task before reading
+its context; do not treat an empty Home brief as an empty library. Opening changes
+the shared workbench. Library-only discovery and background creation need no switch.
+Then read `canvas://context?consumer=<stable-unique-id>`
 (or `canvas_query { action: "context", consumer: "<stable-unique-id>" }`) before
 falling back to broader resources. The budget is UTF-16 code units, not tokens.
 Use one stable consumer ID per agent/adapter only when durable deltas are wanted;
-omit it for a fresh read. Pins are highest priority, then the cards near each pin
-(reason `near`, title + short summary only). If a source card is clipped or near,
-pull that card explicitly by its returned board/card IDs.
+omit it for a fresh read. The brief is a map, not a dump: an overview of the board, then every
+card as title + short summary with why it was pinned and its relations; pinned cards lead, then
+cards near each pin (reason `near`), then what changed. Boards the human pinned into the working
+set arrive as maps (reason `pinned-board`). On a board larger than the budget, read on with the
+returned `cursor.next` as `since` (a consumer does this for you). A pinned board is context only:
+it does not select a write destination. Writes default to the open board; supported static
+creation may explicitly use `destinationBoardId` (see below). Decide what you need, then
+pull it in full with `canvas_node { action: "get", board, id, full: true }`.
+
+**Read → check → refresh:** after reading context, inspect `canvas_ax_timeline {
+action: "read-status", board }`. No entry means no recorded content delivery;
+`readRevision < contentRevision` on the current card means changed since read.
+Links are tracked apart: a card's `linksRevision` newer than its entry in the
+status's `links` map means its connections changed since a read carried them.
+Re-read that card with `full: true`, then check status again before acting on it.
+Full HTTP/CLI node reads and SDK `getNode` also record the delivered revision;
+compact MCP metadata, CLI `--summary`/`--field`, and workbench reads do not.
+Compact MCP responses that contain text (such as Markdown) do count as delivery.
+In 0.8.0, direct node gets were untracked; use a context read on that version.
+A read mark proves delivery, not understanding or approval. Agent attribution
+describes who acted; it never grants permission or wakes an idle agent.
