+## The leaf/trunk test — apply before any of this gets built
+
+Definitions: `architecture.md` invariant 7. **Leaf** → buildable when wanted. **Trunk** → waits for an
+explicit human decision, in an ADR, on purpose.
+
+Known trunks: ActivityPub, IPFS, Solid, hosted annotation servers, CRDT-backed editing.
+Sovereignty test for any of them: *if this vanishes, do I lose data, or only convenience?*
+
+Use `/leaf <topic>` to get a verdict written into this file.

+## Standing notes
+
+- **Bengali tokenisation for search** is the one item here nobody else will solve for you.
+  Treat it as original work, not as a checkbox inside "add search."
+- **Micropub before an admin panel.** It buys an ecosystem of existing editors for the price of
+  one endpoint, and it composes with git instead of fighting it.
+- **Gemini output** is nearly free once the View layer exists, and it validates the claim that a
+  View can target something other than HTML. Good early proof, low cost.
