+## Staged work-record generator adoption
+
+The tracked `.generated-work-records.json` opts this repository into the shared
+pre-commit generation lane. `make generated-work-records` uses the isolated
+`.generated-work-records.mk` recipe and the Custodian adapter to render from
+staged Markdown with the existing State Hub renderer. `make
+generated-work-records-check` verifies the staged result without writes.
+Unstaged source edits are preserved; unstaged generated-file edits and unresolved
+conflicts stop the commit. The existing generated-only guard and secret scan
+remain in place. This adoption covers WORK-RECORDS.md only; other owner indexes
+retain their own generators. It makes no schedule or public-release change.
