Module and test docstrings state what is pinned without the record number
or step that introduced it. Incident accounts become the failure shape in
the present tense: the pipefail head, the code_shapes import, the export
order, the facet dialects, the cross-kind repeat, the write-once kind.

The agent promotes a family idea when all three criteria hold, and no person approves it. The criteria are product text: services/family.py states them, and the promote tool's docstring names every criterion the service enforces.
- Criteria: each one vetoes on its own when its reasoning is blank. Platform terms also needs an applies-when and a platform scope; proven also needs named evidence. A veto keeps the idea a candidate and is logged, so it becomes precedent.
- Precedent: every promotion stores the decisions on the nearest ideas by meaning, plus any the caller names.
- Promotion sets canon, the applicability test and the platform scope, and opens an unassessed ledger row for each member project the promoter can write. Re-promotion moves the version past every version the idea has held.
- Retire and undo: undo reverses only the latest idea-level decision, restores its recorded before-state, and logs itself with the undone decision as its precedent. Settled here: leaving canon closes the unassessed rows but keeps the judged ones, which read as needing a recheck after a re-promotion.
- Triggers open evaluations but never promote:
- a cross-project lineage citation ("matching #N") on a note or task write;
- a same-meaning record in another project on a shared platform, on create, at 0.80 (measured: the known pattern's builds scored 0.79-0.82, an unrelated project's best match 0.65);
- a milestone closing on a platform.
Each fails open and rides the response as family_hint.
- Doors: seven MCP tools, /api/family REST endpoints, and a Family page (nav, /family) showing the criteria, the ideas, and the decision log with undo and retire.
- utils/recordHref.ts holds the one copy of "where a record opens", now shared with LessonDetailView.
