A dated release log (a note) matched a signed-APK CI snippet at 0.83 on
shared release vocabulary and was opened as a family candidate, then came
back as a precedent. One chunk of a long narrative scores like the shape
it mentions, so a cross-kind score does not mean "the same thing made
twice". The search is filtered to the new record's kind and the loop
checks it too. Code built from an idea written elsewhere still reaches the
engine through the citation trigger and the shape ledger.

Step 1 added family_ideas.topic_id but nothing could set it, so the note<->topic
link the milestone promised existed only as a column. set_family_topic links or
unlinks (0) a topic in a rulebook the caller owns, one idea per topic; the
version does not move. get_family_idea and get_family_adoption list the topic's
rules; list_family_ideas and the Family page name the topic. The model
docstrings no longer claim the topic's rules are platform-scoped in retrieval.

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.
