Astro Starlight over .loom/externals/. Every reference page is a copy of a document published by another loom repository, adopted with loomctl, locked to the etag it was fetched at. Nothing is written twice. Two kinds of page. Generated ones are overwritten every build because nobody typed them. Guides are hand-written, never overwritten, and stamped in frontmatter with the etags they were written against; when a source moves, the build renders a banner onto the page asking whether it is still true. It cannot answer that — only a person can — so it asks where a reader will see it too, and the site degrades honestly instead of reading as authoritative and being wrong. npm run ack is the person saying they re-read it. Declined: having the build stage a polad into the cart. loomctl external check does that and is right to, but a docs build runs in CI and in worktrees where there is no cart, and staging a polad is an act of judgment. The build reports; a person raises. The guides are worked examples rather than explanations, deliberately. An explanation is a second saying of a rule owned on the page beside it and goes stale silently; an example goes stale visibly, because the artifacts in it are the wrong shape. Generation is byte-deterministic — locks are walked in path order, no timestamps — because the diff is most of the value. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

.loom — loom/docs
This repository publishes nothing. It is a reader.
What is here is externals/ — a copy of every document the loom
organisation publishes, locked to the version it was fetched at. The site at
loom.hypertheory-labs.dev is those copies,
rendered, plus four hand-written section fronts.
Nothing in externals/ is edited here. A copy that differs from its source
is the only evidence that something moved while nobody was watching, so editing
one destroys the mechanism this repository exists to demonstrate.
What we hold about a document goes in a facet beside it — .usages.md for what
of ours depends on it, .gaps.md for what we expected and did not find.
