Development record
Maintainer hunch (record only; do not implement, and map against SOTA during design per prefer-sota). Onboarding should follow a strict playbook that identifies every non-standard file in a target repo (e.g. Manuscripts WORKLOG.md, DECISIONS.local.md, SLICE_START), matches each against abcd canon, and proposes where it belongs -- presented interview-style so the maintainer picks from a recommended default they can accept or override (verifier-selects-gates-decide). This generalises the narrower worklocal-nonstandard-members-no-migration finding into the adopt-phase UX. The interview mechanism is a hypothesis, not a decision: the SOTA for convention-onboarding/scaffolding UX must be researched and adversary-filtered for fit before adopting. Detector/acceptance (to firm at design): an adopt run that emits a per-non-standard-file placement proposal with a recommended default the user accepts or overrides.

Deferral 2026-09-30
Deferred past v0.11.1: research at .abcd/development/research/notes/2026-09-30-onboarding-existing-projects-sota.md; ruling owed: M35's second half, the planning interview on what the placement interview asks about each non-standard file (the note proposes detect, classify as canon, equivalent or foreign, and one batch of per-file dispositions defaulting to keep in place)

- iss-91prepare-this-repo Phase 3 describes .abcd/.work.local/ as NEXT.md plus scratch/ plus logs/ only, giving no guidance for pre-existing non-standard members. Manuscripts .work.local/ carries WORKLOG.md, DECISIONS.local.md, and SLICE_START (load-bearing for its own autonomous-run cadence); adoption must preserve them but the skill is silent on how. Concrete instance of the broader onboarding-nonstandard-file-placement-interview seed. Detector: the adopt phase enumerates every pre-existing .work.local member and proposes a disposition. Acceptance: the three Manuscripts members above.
- iss-2610241549433260Five open records carry remedies that name verbs or pages itd-2610090831227812 retired with no alias on 2026-10-09: iss-25 and iss-52 name abcd source add (iss-52 also source ledger), and iss-92, iss-2608210934566220 and iss-2610040350491915 name prepare-this-repo, so a lane applying any of them targets a command that no longer exists; nothing checks a remedy against the retired names.
