This repo declares the small documentation band, so its caps are
40 lines / 3,000 chars per Markdown file and 20 docs/*.md.

Measured by running the validator against this checkout:

  • docs/: 5 files against a 20 cap - already under the cap, keep it there
  • 16 files over a size cap - 12 content trees, not documentation, 4 docs/*.md prose

The work

  1. Bring 16 files under 40 lines / 3,000 chars. Breakdown: 12 content trees, not documentation, 4 docs/*.md prose.
  2. Hold on the 12 files in content trees until coilyco-flight-deck/agentic-os#1102 rules on whether a documentation cap should reach them at all. Everything else here can proceed now.

Merging is the move, not splitting. Splitting one over-long doc into two trades
a size violation for a count violation, which is the whole reason the count cap
exists.

Done means

pre-commit run --all-files green, with no new entry under
[tool.agentic-os.documentation-layout] excludes. Excludes still govern
placement and flatness and no longer reach either size cap or the count, so
adding one cannot close this issue. A generated file over the cap is a
generator emitting too much, and the fix is the generator.

Take as long as it needs. There is no partial-credit state to reach for.

This repo's pre-commit run --all-files fails on pristine main for reasons unrelated to this work, so nothing can commit until website#116 clears. Start there.

Unlabelled on purpose. The coilysiren namespace is a user account, not an org, so it cannot hold the scoped taxonomy, and repo-level label creation is policy-denied to prevent shadowing. Tracked at coilyco-flight-deck/agentic-os#1106. Triage this one by hand until that lands.
