venues get a document, written from entry 6

Four documents used the word and none defined it. cart.md leaned on it hardest —
an authority claim entering as a venue fact carries a reason and can be shown
wrong — which is a real mechanism resting on an undefined term.

It is bedrock's because venues/ is one of the directories starting.md already
lists beside published/ and gaps/. A concept named in the primitives was being
half-defined in a downstream convention's four-line aside, which is the same
diagnosis loom-cli made about publication two days ago. Second instance of that
shape.

Nothing is invented: entry 6 settled this on 2026-09-05 and the table is that
entry's. New here is that a venue file is local because it has no upstream, and
that it goes stale in a way no fetch can detect — so it needs the reason
underneath the choice or it cannot be checked at all.

Entry 84.
