The endeavour spans ~12 active repos, a generated mirror, a droplet
with three containers, a full-account Forgejo mirror, operator-held
state, and two self-referential loops — enough that oversight was
genuinely lost. ESTATE.md is the canonical committed map: five lanes of
custody (upstream inputs -> verified subjects -> machinery &
operator-held -> published faces -> consumers) as a GitHub-rendered
Mermaid diagram, plus the two loops explained first (dogfood signer;
entry-13 self-attestation), a repository inventory with mutability
classes (frozen / generated / free / operator-only), the services and
operator-held table, an edge glossary, and maintenance triggers.
Lives HERE because pacta is the machinery hub and the only repo that
changes freely; the mirror is generated, the subjects are frozen, and
the book is independent. Linked from README and llms.txt. An
interactive operator's version of the same model exists outside the
repos.
