Skills take the hq- prefix: they are HQ process workflows, not mesh workflows, and HQ is company-scoped now. hq-new-research, hq-graduate, hq-new-issue, hq-diagnose, hq-amend-design, hq-handoff, hq-sync-constitution, hq-status. Forward-looking prose becomes Novox Mesh or simply the mesh — the root README, AGENTS.md, the 00-META README, the mission's module example, and one to-be document that addressed 'someone working on HAL'. Three categories deliberately keep HAL, per ADR 0027: The monorepo is still called hal on the forge. repos.md, every code: field and every located-in: field name a repository that exists under that name, and renaming them in prose would make them false. The as-is layer and the research that measured it describe the system that runs, and that system is called HAL. 124 modules, 9 daemons, a dead containerised node — those are observations, not intentions. Records 0001-0026 are immutable. A record says what was decided when it was decided, and no record is edited for a name. Also repoints ADR 0022's link at the renamed skill — a path fix, which the immutability rule permits, not a change of meaning.
03-DESIGN / 01-to-be
The mesh being built toward. Every statement here traces to a record in
02-DECISIONS/; nothing arrives by drafting.
A document here describes an intention. What currently runs is in
00-as-is/, and the two are never merged — when something ships, the as-is
document is written and this one's status becomes implemented.

Not yet written
- The eight bounded contexts. ADR 0015 decides the decomposition; the per-context specifications do not exist yet. The work breakdown says in what order they are needed.
- Domain grouping outside the core. ADR 0017 settles the principle and explicitly does not settle the domain list. That is a research effort, not a design document, until it concludes.
