bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5.5 79de8938b9 docs(6209): forty test files — design cascade and stylesheet, embeddings, family canon, forge, backup round trips, inception, placement, platforms, moments, rule move and verification, search scope, facets
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.

"""Every create_* tool says what it is NOT for.
WHY THIS EXISTS
Scribe's record kinds are reached for interchangeably — a note written where
a task was owed, a rule written where a snippet belonged — and the moment of
choice is the only moment a correction is cheap. The tool docstring IS the
agent-facing contract (product guidance lives there and nowhere else), so a docstring that only documents parameters answers "how do I call
this" while leaving "should I be calling this at all" unasked.
The gap was lopsided before this: `create_rule` and `start_planning` both
carried a real disambiguator, and `create_note` — far and away the
highest-volume surface — carried none. Guidance sat in the rarest tool and
was missing from the most common one.
WHAT THIS PINS, AND WHAT IT DOES NOT
It asserts STRUCTURE, never wording: each create surface must name at least
two sibling surfaces, so a caller who reached for the wrong one is told
where the right one is. Prose stays free to be rewritten — pinning phrasing
would make every improvement a test failure, and a test that punishes
editing is a test that gets deleted.
It cannot tell whether the guidance is any GOOD. It only catches the
regression that actually happens: a docstring rewritten down to its
parameters, with the "is this even the right tool" paragraph quietly gone.
