…tted target north star (#100) Post-98a the gate reads the target's committed .fabrica/north-star.md and FAILs on missing / fabrica-shipped-default / no-active-entry. This additive adoption work makes the greenfield 0→1 path produce a real committed one, and adds it to every place that enumerates the bootstrap artifacts: - manager/CLAUDE.md + templates/faber-command.md: greenfield bootstrap turns the operator's command into a committed .fabrica/north-star.md; Faber drafts the exact text + done-signal, the coder commits THAT text (no invented goal). Note that a pre-bootstrap doctor.sh north-star WARN is advisory in greenfield. - routines/coder.md + routines/coder-revision.md: greenfield-bootstrap coder contract now also creates + commits <target>/.fabrica/north-star.md with the Faber-provided star (active status: active heading, goal + done-signal, NO fabrica-shipped-default marker, no fabricated approval token); escalate if the brief omits the text rather than inventing it. - QUICKSTART.md greenfield path + NORTH_STAR.md B mode/done-signal: add the committed .fabrica/north-star.md to the bootstrap-PR artifact set. MapleFolio history: add trajectory entry C (first real external run, achieved 2026-07-02, motivated the per-target architecture) to NORTH_STAR.md's log. Fabrica-self's active star stays B. RESTORE.md: add a per-target .fabrica/north-star.md pointer to the per-target restore checklist (section 4), which previously omitted it. Self-modification note: coder routines take effect when Faber briefs a spawned coder; persona (manager/CLAUDE.md) on next read; /faber (templates/faber-command.md) after merge + scripts/install.sh re-run.

What & why (98b — additive adoption, no gate/source change)
Post-98a the gate (
scripts/manager-review.sh) reads the target's committed.fabrica/north-star.mdand FAILs on missing /fabrica-shipped-default-marker / no-status: active-entry (doctor.shWARNs). So the greenfield 0→1 path must produce a real committed one, and every place that enumerates the bootstrap artifacts must include it — else a doc-following 0→1 path omits it and lands a target the shipped gate rejects. Manager-debate reached PROCEED (round 3).AC #1 — greenfield bootstrap creates + commits a real
.fabrica/north-star.md(persona + coder routines + user docs)manager/CLAUDE.md+templates/faber-command.md(persona): the greenfield bootstrap (3b) turns the operator's command into a committed.fabrica/north-star.mdin the target. Faber drafts the exact north-star text + done-signal as part of the operator-approved bootstrap plan (command-as-first-north-star); the coder commits THAT text — it does not invent the goal. Added the debate-GAP note: adoctor.shnorth-star WARN before the bootstrap PR lands is advisory in greenfield (like the expected missing-PR-CI WARN), not a blocker.routines/coder.md+routines/coder-revision.md(greenfield-bootstrap coder contract): the bootstrap coder now also creates + commits<target>/.fabrica/north-star.mdwith the Faber-provided star — an activestatus: activeheading, the operator's goal + a done-signal, NOfabrica-shipped-defaultmarker, no fabricated approval token (approval is the operator's in-session act). If the brief omits the north-star text, the coder escalates (ambiguous-spec+needs-human) rather than inventing the goal.QUICKSTART.md"Starting from an empty folder" +NORTH_STAR.mdB mode / done-signal: added.fabrica/north-star.mdto the bootstrap-PR artifact set, so the documented 0→1 path ends with a committed active non-placeholder star the shipped gate accepts.AC #2 — MapleFolio history log
Added trajectory entry C — "Numbers I can trust" (MapleFolio) (Fabrica's first real external run; set+approved 2026-07-01 in-session
/faber, achieved 2026-07-02; motivated the per-target north-star architecture — #97/#98/98a/98b) toNORTH_STAR.md's log, in B's entry format. Fabrica-self's active star stays B — only C is added to the history/log; the active entry (and itsfabrica-shipped-defaultmarker) is unchanged.AC #3 — RESTORE.md pointer
RESTORE.mdsection 4 (per-target restore checklist) previously enumerated labels / branch protection / CI / conventions / in-session setup but had no per-target north-star step. Added a brief pointer: copytemplates/.fabrica/north-star.md, replace placeholder, remove marker, commit; setup doesn't seed it; Fabrica-self uses the rootNORTH_STAR.md.Scope / constraints honored
*.shtouched, so shellcheck 0.9.0 is unaffected.CI green (locally)
.shchanged (only runs on shell scripts).Self-modification note
