Step 7 of strategy/01-git-excision.md, the companions. The agent guide bumps to v11: the Git section teaches repo-resident etiquette alone (stage only your own paths, commit your own changes, leave app-maintained files to the app) — existing boards heal to the new text on next open. README re-anchors: the four git feature bullets out, tiers say the complete Mac experience is free, and one bullet states the format's git-friendliness promise. The changelog drops the never-shipped git entries. DESIGN re-rules: 06 retired with Undo routing migrated to 13 (now the sole substrate's doc, seam kept open), 07 retired as written pending the ops-service workstream, 14 retired as superseded record, 12 carries the second pivot note, the index reflects all of it; the charter gets a pointer note (the anchors' full re-ruling stays with the user). InertGitTests renames to GitAgnosticStorageTests — the excision restores its original claim app-wide. And the sweep: ~70 comment sites across 36 files adjudicated against the keeper list, every present-tense description of the excised machinery made past tense or repointed, keepers untouched. 2,707 tests green.

Step 5 of strategy/01-git-excision.md: the seventeen dead engine files and the five remaining git test suites go (InertGitTests stays — the naming footgun is a Storage keeper). Two rescues ride ahead of the delete: HarvestedReceipt relocates to EchoLedger (the harvest surface outlives its git consumer; foundation for the deferred journal), and commentTimestamps joins the narrator it always served. The provider-swap purge test re-expresses over a git-free fake; the duplicate-id ladder keeps every pure historyRank pin and loses only the two ranker-driven ones. Resurrection point: tag pre-git-excision. 2,707 tests green.

Step 2 of strategy/01-git-excision.md: CommitMessageEngine and the composer seam relocate to a neutral module renamed away from commit vocabulary (ChangeNarrator, ChangeNarrationRequest, ChangeNarrating, SemanticChangeNarration, ChangeAuthorship), GitChangedPath extracts from GitCommitOperation as ChangedPath, and the one git tie severs — authorship's foreign case carries a display name, not a GitIdentity. The spec tests transplant as ChangeNarratorTests, alive until the journal work begins. 3,009 tests green.
