​
Sources are durable evidence

The source library preserves original bytes and filenames. Almanac may organize the final library path from the file’s content. Source search matches metadata; it does not search arbitrary extracted file contents.

​
Pages are the reading layer

Pages use extensionless, folder-aware paths such as operations/customer-onboarding. Their Markdown body is written for people and agents to read, not as a mirror of the file tree.

​
Citations make the relationship inspectable

A page can expose its connected sources and the job that last changed it. That lets a reader move from synthesis back to evidence instead of trusting a generated answer blindly. Use the model in Search and read pages and Trace a page to its sources.
