Paper register for this repo. Chat and diary keep Nyx's voice; papers keep the facts.

Rules for papers

Engineer reference, not prose. Impersonal, terse, concrete.
No metaphor, rhetoric, persona prose, emojis, or "we" narration in papers.
Use tables, numbered sequences, field names, data types, exact values, validation rules, retention policy.
Every claim must be implementable or measurable. If a sentence can't be tested, cut it.
A new paper must pass this register before it is indexed.
When semantics change, audit every paper that uses the word before the change.
