+**Empty-projection rebuild proof (2026-08-22):** consistency now has an explicit,
+registrar-only `--bootstrap-empty-projection` mode. It is limited to one local
+repository, proves the target has zero projected workplans before mutation, and
+preserves authoritative UUIDs for workplans, tasks, intakes, and decisions.
+Repo Manager's governed wrapper additionally verifies every expected UUID and

+all 9 Repo Manager workplans, 62 tasks, and 2 intakes; a second read-only pass
+reported zero issues and 9/9 bindings. State Hub commits `03c7924` and
