57

58
+ A corrected input read again (a meeting set back to Reviewed, an Inbox row set back to Ready, a new version of a document) is a new source with `replaces` (sources.md "Re-reads"). Analyse **only the lines `brain source diff` gives**, against what the brain already holds from the earlier version:
59
+ - a changed value (a date, an amount, a name, a role) on a note the earlier version wrote or changed → `update_fact` or `add_to_note` on that note, `why` = the new line;
60
+ - a new line that passes the rules above → a new note or a change, as in a first ingest. For a meeting, a new decision or question is a `new_item` (the meeting note already exists);
61
+ - a removed or reversed line that a note rests on (a decision the minutes no longer record, a misheard name) → never archive or rewrite that note yourself. Name it under the report's Check, with what to do ("Use Firebase for auth rests on a line the corrected minutes removed: reject it in Review if it's still pending, or say 'archive it'").
62
+ - the meeting note's own text (its summary and body) still says what the first version said: when a change touches it, add one `add_to_note` on the meeting ("Corrected minutes: the launch moves to March 2027, not February"), and name under Check any `summary` the change makes stale (a project's, the meeting's): no proposal kind rewrites a summary;
63
+ - an action item only when its line changed (a new owner or date): it becomes a task as in a first ingest. Unchanged ones already are tasks, and the report doesn't list them again;

114
+ - **New versions** of a document (a v2 of a requirements file, by the user's word or the pre-check's yes): `replaces` = the latest version of that document. Its Keep, when the user gave none, is the earlier version's `keep`, without asking.

+
116
+ A new version keeps the first version's `source_key` and `title`, so the versions sit side by side, even in Markdown-only mode (the key records where the text first came from; versions are told apart by `replaces` and their content).

A proposal still pending isn't in the brain yet: name it under Gaps ("waiting for your review: …"). Links are relative to `reports/` (`../knowledge/…`, `../projects/…`).

The CLI checks the sections and links and writes `reports/<date>-<slug>.md`. Commit in step 4: `report: <title>`.
65
+ **A refresh** gathers and writes the whole body again, as of today, and passes `{ "refresh": "<the report's vw- id>", "body": "…" }`, plus `asked_in` when an Ask row asked for it; `title`, `projects` and `area` only when they changed. The CLI rewrites the same file (path, id, `question` and Notion row stay) with a new `generated_at`, and logs `report-refresh` itself; Git keeps the earlier version. Commit in step 4: `report: refresh <title>`.
66
+ 4. **Log and commit:** `brain log report <vw-id> notes_read=<n> seconds=<s>` (the knowledge notes, meetings and sources whose full text you read, and the seconds the report took; decision 0045), then commit the report and the log together.
67
+ 5. **Publish** *(Notion, per `settings.publish`)*: `brain sync render --changed`, write the Report row (its body is the report: the brain-ingest skill's references/notion.md, "Inbox bodies"; a refresh is an `update` that replaces the body and clears Refresh), then set the Ask row's Brain Status to Processed through the MCP, then `brain sync record`, and commit `publish: report <title>`. In a catch-up, the run's one publish does this.

70
+ **What to fix on a report** (decision 0045). The user writes what the report gets wrong on its Report row ("Lucía left Acme in June"); the catch-up hands you `report_fixes`. The error lives in the notes, not in the report, so never edit the report's text to match:
71
+ 1. Find the notes the line rests on, and write the correction as proposals (brain-ingest references/cli-inputs.md §3): an `update_fact`, an `add_to_note`, a `supersede` …, with `why` = the user's text and `source` = the notes' own source (the meeting or `src-` id the wrong claim came from). When the text needs no change to the notes (the report misread a note that is right), write none and say why in the report.
72
+ 2. Record it: `brain report fix <vw-id> --text "<What to fix, as written>" --proposals <prp-id>,<prp-id>` (empty `--proposals ""` when none). The next publish clears What to fix on the row.
73
+ 3. Once every proposal it listed is applied, rejected or closed, refresh the report (above); an approved or fixed one that was only recorded (`--record-only`) still waits. A catch-up checks this each run: a report whose last `fixes` entry lists only such proposals, and wasn't refreshed since, is refreshed.
