tegwick 1208f0f0ee Adopt staged WORK-RECORDS generation and catch the index up.
The generated index had drifted from the workplan files. The opt-in lets
the pre-commit hook rebuild WORK-RECORDS.md in the same commit as the
workplan it indexes.

# SCOPE
## One-liner
Keeps material delivered to the ecosystem and routes it by topic to the repositories that asked to see it.
## Core Idea
See INTENT.md. Email and registered sources go into an append-only, content-addressed
item store. File-backed registries of topics, sources and subscriptions decide
who is told about each item. Notices reach consumers as State Hub agent messages,
through a pull CLI, and in periodic digest files.
## In Scope
- Read-only IMAP intake from one dedicated mailbox.
- Items with original bytes, provenance and derived text; integrity checking.
- Registries of topics, sources (including sources contributed by consumers) and subscriptions.
- Matching, idempotent notices, pull access, digest files.
- Scheduling, health reporting and quarantine on the workstation, later in the cluster.
## Out of Scope
- Sending mail other than notices. email-connect owns email delivery and its evidence.
- Scraping signed-in websites, or any intake that breaks a provider's terms of service.
- Judging whether material is relevant or credible. Consumers review it.
- Replacing a consumer's own evidence store.
## Current State
- Status: inception. INTENT drafted 2026-10-05, no code yet.
- First consumer: intelligence-radar (Grok and ChatGPT daily and weekly briefs).
## Getting Oriented
- Start with: INTENT.md
- Agent instructions: AGENTS.md
- Workplans: workplans/
## Generated work-record index
This repository opts into staged-source WORK-RECORDS.md generation through
`.generated-work-records.json` and the isolated `.generated-work-records.mk`
recipe. `make generated-work-records` reuses the State Hub renderer through
the Custodian adapter; `make generated-work-records-check` verifies byte-exact
agreement with staged Markdown. The pre-commit hook uses the isolated recipe,
preserves unstaged index edits by refusing them, and retains the generated-only
commit guard. It does not contact the hub, alter workplan statuses, or grant
deployment authority. This consumes shared tooling; it does not make this
repository the provider of the generator capability.
