ADR 0290 rule 9: once the import is checked record by record, hq keeps no copy. The records and efforts are removed; every link or path to them reads "ADR NNNN" or "research NNN"; a design's decisions: lists "ADR NNNN". 02-DECISIONS keeps a pointer README with the reading order's six topics, which the knowledge base reads through the records module; 01-RESEARCH keeps a pointer README. The checks drop the rules that judged records (the knowledge base holds each at propose; checks/README.md says where) and refuse a record written here again. Playbooks 01 and 02 and the skills write and read records with the knowledge base's verbs.

04-ISSUES
The front door for "something is wrong" at the level of the mesh's design or governance. Diagnosis happens here, where the whole mesh is in view; the fix lands in the owning code repository.
What belongs here
| Belongs here | Belongs in the knowledge base |
|---|---|
| The design permits a failure to be silent | How to fix one occurrence of it |
| A documented rule is enforced by nothing | A command that works around it |
| A stated invariant is false in practice | A node-specific quirk |
| The owner is unknown and finding it needs the whole mesh in view | Symptom → fix, once the answer is known |
The knowledge base already holds the operational record and is indexed on symptoms. This folder is not a second copy of it. An issue here is a question HQ must answer; an entry there is an incident someone must clear. An issue whose answer is a general lesson belongs in both.
Structure
NNN-short-name/
00-report.md the symptom as observed, with the evidence
01-diagnosis.md the investigation trail, dated, including what was ruled out
NNN is the number the issue tracker gave. The issue's status, owner (located-in), fix (fixed-by),
design amendment and replay live in the tracker — issue-tracker.get NNN — not here
(ADR 0275).

opened: YYYY-MM-DD

The report's first heading is # NNN. The title, the title the tracker holds. A report carries no
status:, located-in:, fixed-by:, amended-design:, replay: or replay-none:; cycle.py refuses them.
The folders numbered 001 to 364 carried them until the import of slice 3 had taken them into the tracker; what
they said then is in this repository's history at the commit the import read, which every imported issue names.
A folder here keeps the public narrative of a design or governance issue. A plain bug needs no folder: it is whole in the tracker.
Rules
- Anyone may open an issue. No localisation is required to report one.
- The full flow is playbook
00-META/process/03-issues.md. - Closed issues are never deleted — they are the mesh's symptom-to-component memory.
wontfixis legitimate and requires a sentence saying why.
