Policy for how agents source authoritative knowledge and translate it to boma:
- Facts (version-specific syntax/options) → consult version-matched official docs,
cite, and stamp `verified: subject · tool ver · source · date`. Training memory
is the draft, never the authority.
- Judgments (best practices) → evidence to translate through boma's principles
(extends ADR-013); never adopted because the docs/a blog say so.
- Consultation is risk-based (security / unfamiliar-or-fast-moving / can't quote a
flag with confidence), with a "from memory, unverified" transparency backstop.
- Sources: context7 → WebFetch upstream → claude-code-guide → deep-research; match
the PINNED version, not "latest".
- Graceful degradation: the plugin accelerators may be absent on a fresh checkout,
so the policy commits to the principle and falls back to WebFetch/WebSearch.
CLAUDE.md gains a concise operating rule + pointer. TODO 10.4 decided. New TODO
10.7 tracks making the plugin/MCP toolchain reproducible from the repo (it is not
synced by account nor carried by git) — surfaced by a portability check this run.
