tones in the plan lists tones of voice, one storyline each. The words
pass writes each page once per tone and folds the tones into lists
where they differ; the render emits the lists portal reads as
storylines; the lift carries them back. needs.yaml names the tones.
portal-trainer report --site reads the site's counts per storyline
and scores each on what arrived and what ended well.

With portal keeping the groups itself (portal v0.5.7), a desk's invite
form asks for a phone number first, the list of invites is the list
of memberships, and a grant may know the person by number.

escalate: { <stage>: { days, to: <group> } } on a need adds a stage
<stage>_escalated the clock enters, with the same moves out of it; the
group's desk lists exactly those cases with those buttons, and the
desk that had it keeps it and may send it up itself. Not a mail: a
desk job. The vel's help requests go up to styret after a week.

The lift matched cards on a desk by action, which every card there
shares, so a card that left the desk left its words on the next one.
A card with a strong identity - a bucket, a group it invites into, a
page of its own - is matched on that alone, and a desk card's identity
is the bucket its feature lists.

`about: <need>` on a need puts its form on a page per record of the
other need (/status/<bucket>/[key]), links every row of the public
list to it, carries the record's id in a type: record field, takes a
signed-in person's address without asking, and lets `mails: { open:
owner }` reach whoever sent the record. The vel's plan uses it for
the lending board: notices stand from the moment they are sent, the
board hears, an answer goes straight to the poster, the queue is the
poster's inbox, and the redaktør or the clock takes down what stands.

Portal 0.5.4 moves an invite whose link ran out to expired and files
what responsible people suggest as cases in portal_edit_suggestions.
Every desk that lists invites gets the move back to open (a fresh link,
mailed), and the desk that invites into the most groups - where portal
seeds the first person - gets the list of suggestions with its moves.

The page after sending and every public list ended with a Back/Tilbake
alternative. Portal now puts a way down the tree on every page (an
arrow at the left edge and a link at the foot, uhhm/portal PR 1), to
the nearest page below that the visitor may open: the front door after
a public form, the group's desk after an internal one. Sites built from
here need a portal that carries it.

List notes, empty lists and the invite form's guidance are lines no
model is asked about before a page ships; on a Norwegian site they
showed in English until reworded. They now fall back in Norwegian for
no/nb/nn plans, like the mail fallbacks.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Portal 0.5's content, from the plan: `grants` (an approval that is
membership; refused without a mail sender, since the sign-in link goes
by mail), `deadlines` (portal's `after:`, only along a move the
machine has), and `public_states` with an `empty` line on public lists,
whose words now say which stages they show.
Onboarding is a mail too: a plan that invites or grants gets
`mail.invite` in site.yaml in its own language, and a reword that loses
{link} gets it back. `rate --repo` rates every mail, the invite
included, read as it arrives: LIX, and what happened / what now / who
wrote, each against a gutted twin. The mail words are guided by what
that found on uhhm (name the case by a short required field, sign with
the business, invite a reply rather than promise a reason).
The front door shows public lists instead of pointing at them: each
public bucket is a feature with its newest three records inline and a
link to the whole list. Its card is named for what it shows. The plan
reference gains 'What a portal site can do': the schema's options and
when each pays off, as guidance rather than rules.

portal compiles one access rule per state a self_transition names, and
without them assumed the day the case arrived. The builder already
knew the answer - `moves_of(need, SUBMITTER)` carries the from-state
of every move - and now writes it down, so the applicant answering a
request for papers from `incomplete` gets a rule for it, and withdrawal
is offered from wherever the case has got to.
Measured on the building authority: the submitter had two rules, both
out of `open`. It now has ten, across applications and appeals.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three seeds over the building authority's front door, then three more
over a variant where the two bare needs became doors of their own.
The diagnosis held: six of the eight front-door misroutes went to the
appeal, a concrete sentence standing among abstract categories, which
collected everyone with any sort of grievance whatever it was about.
Behind a door of its own it collected none.
The site got no better for it - 77.3% against 80.0%, inside the spread.
Two offers went from findable to hidden: the firm whose insurance
certificate had lapsed found "to be on the list, and then to file
without asking again" as a sentence on the front door, and fails every
seed once it is behind a door called "Work as a firm".
So the leak was not costing what it looked like it was costing, and the
rewrite is rejected on measurement. The mixed front door stays.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A municipal building authority is the first sector that the line a
case walks could not describe. An application is returned for the
drawing it was missing and walks the same stretch again; an appeal
ends the moment the authority changes its own decision, without ever
reaching the board; an applicant may withdraw from anywhere, while a
refusal may only come once the papers are in.
`reached_from: { <stage>: [<stage>, ...] }` says where a stage is
entered from when the line does not. A stage named there is entered
from exactly those stages and nowhere else, so saying where a refusal
may come from also says where it may not - which `turned_down_from`
could not, being one list for every bad ending at once.
Found by replaying fifteen real building cases through portal's own
engine against a throwaway JetStream: it refused three legal paths and
accepted two illegal ones. Portal needed no change - hand-writing the
correct graph into aggregates.yaml, cycle and all, was accepted and
enforced exactly. The rebuilt site now produces that same graph from
the plan, and the access policy follows it.
Also: a public view is of a bucket, not of a need. A permit register
holds the owner's small application and the approved firm's large one
and is one page either way; the rule refused to publish a bucket the
moment any role filed into it. A bucket only a role ever writes to is
still refused.

`type: location` on a field is portal 0.4.0's map pin, stored as
lat/lon/zoom. The reference tells the model it needs `optional: true`,
since a map needs a browser that can draw one.

A page is read by the people who own it, and serde_json sorts keys, so
every file put `name` at the bottom under `action` and `consequence`.
With preserve_order the file reads the way it was built: name, then
description, then what the card does.

`requires:` on a need is one sentence naming what the person must
have or be for the alternative to work - a membership, a reference
number, the link from a mail. It renders as the card's first feature,
above the road, who-reads-it and the form, because a condition a
reader meets only after filling the form in has already cost them the
filling in. Whether the section exists is read from the plan, never
from its wording: under a lift every slot holds a token and a token is
never empty, which would conjure a section the live page lacks and
shift every feature after it.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Five features were emitted empty, as layout: a door's strip, a desk's
list, an invited list, a public list, an invite form. Each now has a
title and a line that says what a row is and what the buttons under it
do, or what the list leaves out - true from the plan before a model
writes a word, and a slot the model can improve. Desk cards, their
links and the desk page itself get real fallbacks too. The lift no
longer copies an empty live string over a fallback, which would have
emptied every new slot on the next rebuild.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A stray placeholder or a lost link was only fixed when a model wrote
the mail, so a words file that already carried one kept it through
every later build. The pass now runs once on the finished
aggregates.yaml words, covering --words, --words-from and the model
alike; the football club's three mails lose the `{chain}` they were
shipped with.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The mail prompt said "short"; it now says how short. The football
club's enrolment mails halved in length and read easier, and the
vel's evened out, with every link kept.

The second Norwegian case: level with its earlier build on routing
inside the spread, desks 13 of 14 with outcomes in words, Norwegian
mails from Sonnet in one pass.

Live vel front door against a cold, bureaucratic twin: friendlier 9
of 10 to the live page, none to the twin, both orders. So the earlier
no-preference between the live doors and the rejected rewrite was a
verdict, not blindness; and judged clarity and measured routing are
different things.

Re-planning the contractor showed three wasted rounds: `moves_by: {
checking: submitter }` written as a bare word, a group without a
label, and the two featured owner roles left with nothing to play,
which the builder only warned about after the fact. The bare word and
the missing label now parse (a label defaults to the id), and a plan
that parses with spectator roles is sent back once with the finding;
on the contractor, round three fixed both.

A need may say which unfinished stages a case can still be turned
down from; the machine no longer offers the bad end from every stage.
uhhm's collaborators are declined before they start and depart after,
as the live site has it. The uhhm plan gets stages_text and three
desk buttons reworded: every uhhm desk scores full marks.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
`stages_text` on a need gives each stage plain words in the plan's
language. The fallback mails, the road line and the desk buttons use
them, and needs.yaml carries them as `stage_words` so the desk score
describes an outcome the way the site would. The vel's plan has them;
its desks score 26 of 26 where the id-based outcome scored 24.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The first desk score offered every button of the bucket, where portal
shows a row only the moves from its own state; that scored the live
vel 17 of 26 and sent a rewrite of the neighbour-help desk chasing an
instrument fault. With the row's buttons only: 24 of 26, and the
rewrite loses on the fair test too. Noted: an accent-stripped state id
(ikke_lost) reads as English even to a strong picker.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The inside of the business reads button labels and nothing else. For
every desk and bucket with two or more buttons, a worker is told what
just happened to a case, in the state's own words, and picks the
button; scored right of total with what each miss was taken for. The
vel's neighbour-help desk scores 2 of 4 and the notice board 1 of 2:
the first numbers a desk has ever had.

Four of the planned contractor's five needs had max_fields equal to
their required fields: the model counted the form and called it the
person's tolerance. `plan` now says so when most needs do, and the
reference tells the model to decide the number before writing the
form.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The one manual step left after `plan` was mapping the attached
personas' `need:` to whatever ids the model chose. A second call now
does it: the model sees the plan's needs and the persona texts and
returns ids only, after the plan is final, so no persona wording can
reach a page. An id the plan lacks is ignored and the reader is told.

`does`, `shows`, `mail`, `mails`, `invites_by`, `events`,
`attended_by`, and the measured guidance on doors: the plan reference
the model reads lagged the builder by a week, so a planned site had no
opener, no mails and no onboarding.

iris instead of question_lint everywhere; the skill's procedure is
plan, build, score: the opener and the look-around, mails and the
sender, moves for the person, doors only when measured, the lift
through a rebuild, the language and link guards, the descriptions
score over the headings score, and the spread a change has to beat.

A model asked for Norwegian sometimes answers in English. The commonest
function words of each language are counted across a reply, and one
that reads as the other language is refused with a line saying so.
Tomter Vel's six mails, worded by Sonnet in Norwegian, are round 2 of
runs/tomtervel-opener-2026-09-23 and live.

Sonnet wrote the ten uhhm mails and replaced the decide link with a
bare {chain}. keep_links puts the fallback's link line back into any
mail that lost it. The mails read easier than the fallbacks (LIX 9 to
33 against 18 to 28) and say something.

The words model can be pointed at a subset of pages (`aggregates.yaml`
for the mails alone) while everything else keeps the words it has.
`rate --repo` rates each mail's prose on its own, LIX and length,
since a person reads a mail with no card around it.
