# Evidence

Every durable claim needs grounding in code, docs, transcripts, PRs, local
commands, or another named source.

Authority depends on the claim:

- Code is authoritative for runtime behavior.
- Transcripts are authoritative for what was discussed.
- PRs are authoritative for review and merge context.
- The wiki is the maintained synthesis.

When evidence conflicts, state the conflict plainly or defer the claim. Do not
turn a transcript, diff, or note into source of truth for behavior the code
contradicts.

Use frontmatter `sources:` entries for material that supports the page. Use
precise file references when source code is relevant to retrieval.
