+## Staged work-record generation — 2026-10-19
+
+The repository explicitly opts into the shared staged work-record generator via
+`.generated-work-records.json` and its dedicated `.generated-work-records.mk`.
+`make generated-work-records` uses the existing State Hub renderer through the
+Custodian adapter, stages only `WORK-RECORDS.md`, and refuses unreconciled
+unstaged index edits. `make generated-work-records-check` checks without writes.
+The shared commit hook retains its generated-only guard and repository-specific
+scanner routing; meaningful source commits regenerate the index before any
+configured scan.
+Generation performs no Hub calls, commits, pushes, credential access or live
+changes. Source inventories and other generated artifacts retain their owners.
