bedrock publishes venues.md now, so the four-line section here had become the second saying of a rule owned elsewhere. Kept the one sentence that is genuinely this document's: put a choice where reconciliation will look for it, because a .usages.md is what somebody opens when a document moves. The old heading — "venues, for things you cannot fetch" — was wrong and had been since it was written. A venue is not defined by being unfetchable, it is defined by your having decided something. Kafka's documentation is extremely fetchable. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
externals
How a repository records what it depends on, and finds out when it changes.
- Externals — the convention
Built on bedrock's sibling
facets, whose three open choices we answer in
our usages of annotating.
And annotating is here as an external of ours — fetched, locked, annotated
— which is the convention describing itself using itself. If that had not
worked, the convention would be wrong, and it is the cheapest test available.
The first copy was written by hand. You cannot fetch-and-annotate before the thing that says how exists. Self-hosting is a test, not a derivation.
