Applies the document contract from
docs/plans/2026-08-20_stack-docs-flatten-and-alignment.md section 3, partially:
`kind` and `status` only. `parent` is deliberately held until the flatten in
section 4 lands, so that 127 documents do not have to be re-pointed by hand
when docs/fleet/NORTH_STAR.yaml moves to docs/NORTH_STAR.yaml.
Scope, measured on origin/next at 63069149:
127 live docs = all *.md under docs/ minus docs/archive/ minus docs/_old_structure/
104 stamped here
19 held operator judgement (plan section 9), worklist in the same PR
3 held the SUPERSEDED TASKS.md stamps, which cite the moving path
1 untouched docs/fleet/FLEET-DOCTRINE.md, already stamped in W1
Kinds applied: 54 guide, 34 record, 9 spec, 6 tracking, 1 projection.
Every row carries a confidence and a one-line rationale in the worklist.
Two collisions with the existing state, both flagged rather than resolved:
1. docs/README.md:150-160 already documents a front-matter convention
(title/type/audience/status/source_of_truth) with its own allowed values.
It is applied to 4 of 127 files. Its `status` vocabulary is
current|draft|deprecated|historical; the new contract's is active|superseded-by.
The key collides. This commit lets the new contract win and rewrites
`status: current` to `status: active` on those 4 files, keeping their other
legacy keys untouched. No code reads any of them: `git grep source_of_truth`
outside docs/ returns nothing. docs/README.md still prescribes the old
convention and is an operator row, so it is not edited here.
2. Two of the plan's 20 operator rows are YAML files, not markdown
(docs/fleet/examples/roster-v2.yaml, docs/openapi-tess.yaml), and the
contract's front-matter form has no defined meaning for a .yaml document.
That gap also applies to docs/fleet/NORTH_STAR.yaml, the source of truth
itself. Raised in the worklist.
A third row from the plan, docs/fleet/north-star.md, no longer exists: W1
renamed it to docs/fleet/FLEET-DOCTRINE.md.
Verification: 104/104 parse with the expected kind and status in front matter;
the check was shown to reject a wrong kind before it was trusted. The diff
removes 4 lines total, all of them `status: current`.

Fleet Identity, Class, and Runtime
Each roster field has one job. Do not use names or model strings as authority shortcuts.
| Concern | Field | Contract |
|---|---|---|
| Stable machine identity | agents[].name | Unique, immutable mutation target and exact service/session name. |
| Display identity | agents[].alias | Human-facing label only; may be changed and grants no authority. |
| Behavioral contract | agents[].class | Resolves through the shared baseline plus roles.local persona library. |
| Tool boundary | agents[].tool_policy | Must match protected canonical classes; cannot independently grant authority. |
| Harness | agents[].runtime | One of claude, codex, opencode, or pi, declared in runtimes. |
| Backend selection | agents[].provider and model |
Explicit non-empty data; capability validity is not inferred from the display name or class. |
| Effort | agents[].reasoning | low, medium, or high. |
| Local placement | working_directory |
Explicit safe local work path; not remote placement authority. |
Tess and Ultron are conventional instance/display names only. They are not products, required machine identities, role aliases, or authority-bearing classes. A configurable interaction instance uses class: interaction; a configurable validation instance uses class: validator. Any stable name and alias satisfying the structural contract may be used.
Class aliases are deliberately narrow: implementer → code, reviewer → review, and operator-interaction → interaction. No runtime, provider, model, persona prose, or instance name changes this mapping. See role classes and the validated generic example.
Roster v2 is local-only. It contains no host/SSH placement, connector, channel, secret-reference, arbitrary-command, per-agent socket, or gateway mapping fields. Those concerns require separate requirements and threat models.
