vegnormal-okf measured the gap on 2026-08-27: the arm reading DEFAULT's
index.md scored 0 hits of 8, the arm reading a faceted index of the same
frontmatter scored 25 of 29. Same bundle, same concepts, same model. The
DEFAULT arm did not answer wrongly, it abstained -- the metadata is in the
bundle and the index throws it away (30 974 characters over 269
requirements, 0 occurrences of any of the eight facts).
FacetPolicy and STRUCTURED_V1 already did this. They did not reach Door C.
`import_bundle` now takes a keyword-only `profile` defaulting to DEFAULT, so
every existing call site emits the bytes it always did, and `link_in_index`
takes the facets to render.
Door C PROJECTS and never DERIVES, which is the answer to the objection this
work opened with: deriving structure for a document a third party wrote would
put our inference into an index entry ABOUT their bytes, where it reads as
their claim. The concept file was already verbatim; the entry describing it
now is too. Where the sender carries `derived`, THEIR list travels unchanged,
so a reader can still see which of the sender's facts the sender inferred.
The projection asks the policy which keys to carry and never what a key
means. That is what makes it work for a meeting note as well as a numbered
norm -- nothing in it can key off a numbering scheme -- and it is why a
consumer whose concepts are named by UUID can get `title` into the index by
naming the key, with no change here.
Two things measured during the work rather than assumed:
- A value carrying the policy's own joiner cannot be rendered. Door C's
tolerance is structural and it refuses no sender on form, so the FACET is
dropped and the concept still merges -- reported per concept and key in
`ImportResult.unrendered_facets`, never dropped silently.
- A faceted entry can go stale where a flat one never could: the collision
gate refuses an updated concept, so the operator's only route is to remove
the merged file and re-import, after which the file said `gjeldende` while
the index still said `utkast`. A faceted entry for a present target is now
refreshed in place instead of skipped. Unfaceted callers keep the early
return byte for byte.
Suite 695 -> 707; ruff and mypy --strict clean.
