Curate owns disposition
Curate runs survey, plan-gate, apply, and index-sweep. It reads living documents and candidates, then decides keep, correct, merge, or retier with Dad. Refine is not separate because reading dominates cost and verdict plus correction belong to one reading.
Merges can move quote blocks, so sanctuary judgment lives in the plan gate rather than a per-file byte gate. Never-delete remains structural at land through move pairing.
Ko-rewrite distinguishes voice from record
Diagnosis, plan-gate, ledger, rewrite, and reconcile rebuild living Korean from Korean thought. Dated moment records and library are not default rewrite targets because awkwardness may be authentic residue.
Dad's blockquotes remain byte-identical, and a ledger pins facts, names, and links before prose moves. A default brain is a hint, never an eligibility gate.
Optimize targets the boot bill
Weigh, plan-gate, ledger, apply, and reconcile improve token economy of the active boot set. Shortness is not the goal; facts, decisions, quotes, and links are pinned before prose moves, under a structural quality floor.
Shrinking a library may not change prompt cost, so default scope is the actual boot set. Token delta is evidence while Dad owns the quality verdict.
Reconcile-radar reads candidates only
Scan, plan-gate, apply, and index-sweep operate on the current Radar and Drift candidate set. A full-vault read belongs to curate, and similarity is a reason to read rather than a merge verdict.
All four share queue, claim, seal, and land. Templates, required stages, default scope, and quote policy vary as registry data instead of engine forks.
