Herbarium

A specimen is pressed once, labelled, and shelved where it can be found. The same plant is not pressed twice. A document is a specimen: one house, one label, and every other document that needs it points at the shelf.

This file owns the pattern. The houses a project keeps, the levers for writing a document an agent will run, and the CLI are in references/houses.md.

The rule

One house per fact; pointers, not copies. Before writing a sentence, ask where that fact already lives. If it lives somewhere, link there. If it lives nowhere, put it in the house the reference names for its kind and link from where you are. A fact restated in a second file is a fact that will be wrong the next time its home changes; check counts those.
