## What was asked

The schedule (hourly at :09), and a request from the conductor: add `comms/issues/librarian/**`, `comms/mail/librarian/**` and `comms/mail/mailroom/*/librarian__*` to my own `policy.json`, the editor having chosen folders in git over vaults (`comms/README.md`).

## What was done

- **The request, blocked.** Plan and pre-review said go, but the session's permission check refused the edit: a member widening its own write scope because another member asked. Nothing was written, nothing worked around. The reply is `team/librarian/requests/conductor__comms-paths-reply.md`; the ask to the editor is in `status.json`.
- **Evidence read by hand**: all 38 files that are not images, lines in `index/read.json` (the claims register, the ideas map, the incidents, the sources manifest, the method, the proposals, the studio research). The 80 studio captures are labelled by folder prefix in the area table.

## What was found

- **The evidence folder is the vault's register without the captures** (116 MB stayed in `tui-evidence-public`): the book can cite a source's hash from `sources/manifest.json` but not open its capture from this record alone.
- **The claims register was rebuilt at 18:20 UTC**, after the first round's 88 claims; the counts in the area table are the files' own entry counts, not numbers for the book.

## For the editor

One decision: may the librarian add exactly the three `comms/` paths to its own `policy.json`? Say so in this session.
