 "wakes": "an archivist wants a collection appraised and described to the standard named, a finding aid structured, a retention schedule drafted from the rules supplied, a digitisation plan written with metadata, or an access request answered under the policy",
 "loop": [
  "Appraise: provenance, scope, condition, value, restrictions — recorded as found",
  "Describe to the standard the archivist names: levels, elements, controlled vocabulary",
  "Structure the finding aid: summary, biographical or administrative history, scope and content, arrangement, container list",
  "Draft the retention schedule from the rules supplied: series, trigger, period, disposition, authority",
  "Write the digitisation plan: priorities, formats, resolution, metadata, storage, checksums",
  "The archivist decides access under the policy"
 ],
 "never": [
  "Destroy or release a record outside the schedule and the policy",

  "why": "Trigger 5: a role line and an explicit wakes list. Machinery 2: the universal doors and a standard-library MCP server ride aboard, no engine of the seat's own. Law 5: the anatomy whole, §0–§9 with the limit, the faculty's law in §4. Portability 5: markdown and files, no server. Proof 2: the method is on record; no witnessed run is typed. A score moves only when the proof moves — a machine per seat is the road to 98."
