+
+Threadwell holds material that search engines and platform pages do not keep reliably. The split is strict:
+
+| Folder | Role |
+| --- | --- |
+| `archive/` | Primary source. What was said. |
+| `notes/` | Your writing. What it means. |
+| `canvases/` | Spatial maps between the two. |
+
+An authored note should [[How to archive a thread|link the archive record]] instead of pasting the thread again.
+
+Set `draft: true` until a note is ready. `archive/`, `canvases/`, and `notes/` publish otherwise.
