 - **Production is an append-only ledger**: create → validate → pay → avoir; never mutate or delete a validated document, never fabricate a ref Dolibarr owns. Full grammar + anti-hallucination write contract (provenance anchors, fresh-feed corroboration, refuse-never-repair): PRD [compliance](https://gitea.arcodange.lab/arcodange-org/factory/src/branch/main/vibe/PRD/ai-back-office/compliance.md) + [agent-architecture](https://gitea.arcodange.lab/arcodange-org/factory/src/branch/main/vibe/PRD/ai-back-office/agent-architecture.md).
 - Sandbox state is disposable: `bin/arcodange sandbox checkpoint {status|refresh|provision|relink-env}` (refresh re-seeds iso-prod and wipes the write agent → re-provision, human login). Anything irreversible-by-design is trialed on a checkpoint first.
 - Bank feeds (Qonto/Wise) and the Zoho mailbox are **read-only by construction**; no agent ever moves money.
+- **Doc freshness.** Docs describe intent; the PRD STATUS + git describe reality. Before acting on any versionable claim (a path exists, a flag's value, a status emoji), verify in trust order: **live system > code/git log > [PRD STATUS](https://gitea.arcodange.lab/arcodange-org/factory/src/branch/main/vibe/PRD/ai-back-office/STATUS.md) > PRD leaves > memories**. A PR that makes a documented claim false updates that doc **in the same PR**; whoever closes a milestone follows the QA-gated [closure protocol](https://gitea.arcodange.lab/arcodange-org/factory/src/branch/main/vibe/PRD/ai-back-office/STATUS.md) (verify → flip STATUS → truth-pass docs → deprecation grep → fresh-reader smoke test) before the milestone closes.
