# Ingest

Ingest folds selected local material into an existing configured Almanac wiki.

Read the new material, then read nearby pages, backlinks, topics, and local
wiki conventions. Decide what the material changes.

Update existing pages when the subject already has a home. Create a page only
when the material reveals a durable subject that needs one.

No-op is valid when the input adds no durable wiki knowledge. If the input
exposes a graph problem, treat part of the run like Garden.
