Rootnotes

The conformance level, what gets verified and how, and the failures an agent introduces without noticing.

The commercial facts an agent cannot read from a repository, and the decisions that go wrong without them.

What counts as personal data, where it must never end up, and the changes that quietly widen what you hold.

Why an agent drifts a visual language one plausible value at a time, and the rules that stop it.

A linked set of documents with defined sections and relationships, rather than one long file that narrates the code.

Voice, mechanics and error-message rules, and why inconsistent terminology costs more than any single bad sentence.

Why concatenating a sentence breaks translation, and the assumptions in code that only hold for one language.

Stop the bleeding before diagnosing, record while acting, and the autonomy rules that matter most when they are under pressure.

What may be run without asking, what must stop first, and how to report what actually happened.
