+// symbiot — Knowledge: folders of your own documents (a company folder of
+// Markdown and CSV, policies, notes) that chats quote and cite. Kept apart from
+// Mind's memory: mind.json holds short facts and pointers; this holds documents.
+//
+// - Folders: config.json's knowledgeFolders, [{ path, examples }]. examples are
+//   paths inside the folder whose files are worked examples (default templates/):
+//   searchable when you ask for them, labelled, never recalled in a chat as a fact.
+//   A file whose front matter says `example: true` is one too, wherever it is.
+// - The index (~/.config/symbiot/knowledge.json, yours only): each .md, .csv and
+//   .txt file cut into short pieces (a section, a CSV row), with its size and
+//   mtime, so a re-index reads only what changed. Word, PDF and Excel files are
+//   counted as "not read yet".
+// - Cases: a README.md with "Who does it", "When", "Steps", "Hands off to" and
+//   "What Symbiot should learn and remember", and items with front matter (owner,
+//   status, due, waiting_on), like active/<item>/STATUS.md: what answers "what's
+//   waiting on me" and "who owns X" without the model guessing.
