Read the relevant .noet/ Markdown records before choosing a direction.
Treat decisions/failures/constraints as accumulated judgment and continuity/attention as provisional.
Prefer noet record decision for decision lifecycle changes when the CLI is available; direct Markdown remains supported.
Maintain failures, constraints, continuity, and attention directly per .noet/OPERATING.md.
noet sync --check is read-only; noet sync may refresh only versioned/marked Noet-managed instruction surfaces.
Prefer noet verify run to execute declared verification commands; it executes checks, it does not prove them, and writes no evidence.
apply --task is an explicit repository-local opt-in for Strata; brief, legacy JSON writers, and proof/evidence verify subcommands were removed from current main.
