Map — the pages a session actually needs

Hand-kept, at most 6 KB. wiki/index.md is the generated catalogue of every page (large; grep it, never read it whole); workshop/translations/INDEX.md is the generated catalogue of translations.

Every session

page what it is
NEXT.md the baton: this session's assignment, state, blocked, budget, For Tom
continue-prompt.md how a session runs, by session type
CLAUDE.md schema, conventions, environment record
wiki/plan.md the workstreams, their steps and finish lines, the rotation rule, the ledger
PROJECT.md the charter; re-read when grounding is needed (§11 carries Tom's directions)
wiki/method-notes.md the live procedural rules; the full history is in wiki/archive/
wiki/backlog.md work no step owns, aged
config/budget.md · config/models.md the ledger; the panel seats and the calibration state
.claude/skills/clear-reports/SKILL.md how to write anything Tom reads

By session type

H — handbook (W1). framework/v0.3/README.md (the index, the template, the consolidation procedure) · framework/v0.3/entries/ (one finished exemplar: HB-change-of-language.md) · framework/v0.2/README.md (the frozen record — grep the sections the entry consumes; never read it whole) · framework/v0.1/README.md (R1 and the fourteen candidates) · the RS- result pages an entry cites, in wiki/findings/results/.

T — translate (W3). workshop/translations/README.md (filing rules, the translator's log) · workshop/regimes/R05-serial-long-work.md, R04-lead-close.md, R06-lead-single-pass.md · the work's directory (register.md, collation-*.md, prior spans) · wiki/arms/ARM-gulistan.md while that work is open · tools/dependence_check.py (the contamination gate).

C — calibrate / evaluate (W2). framework/tierD-repaired-rules.md (import whole) · framework/control-arm-spec.md · wiki/findings/results/RS-20260802-tierD-verdict.md (why the last run failed) · workshop/experiments/E-20260801f-tierD-run/ (the materials the redesign may not reuse) · tools/run_tierD.py, tools/verify_tierD.py · wiki/goodness-senses.md (the senses and their current wording) · wiki/decisions/README.md (how a decision is opened and ratified) · tools/ratify_vote.py.

E — evidence (W4). wiki/base/anchors/README.md, wiki/base/sources/README.md, wiki/base/consulted.md (the copyright ledger).

The record

wiki/reassessment-2026-09-04.md (why the machinery changed) · wiki/reassessment-2026-08-01.md and wiki/reorientation-2026-07-25.md (the two earlier corrections) · wiki/archive/ (every retired ledger, intact) · wiki/arms/ (99 closed arms; README.md says what an arm was) · journal/ (the daily reports Tom reads) · log.md (one line per session).
