Contributor Agent Recipe
1. Orient: make orient. 2. Select: python -m epistemedia repo next. 3. Read the root contract, selected task contract, execution plan, scoped authority, schemas, policies, and tests. 4. Claim through an append-only proposal. 5. Work in one bounded branch and preserve negative results. 6. Rebuild all derived surface

Public API and MCP deployment contract
The API and MCP gateway is a read-only projection service. It receives an accepted repository snapshot and exposes no GitHub, contribution, deployment, package-publishing, signing, or arbitrary network-fetch authority.

Epistemedia Architecture
Epistemedia is not an autonomous wiki whose canonical object is a page. Its canonical substrate is an append-only, provenance-preserving epistemic history. Pages and agent responses are reproducible projections over that history.

Human and Agent Interface Contract
Epistemedia does not maintain separate editorial truths for people, API clients, MCP agents, and local tools. Each interface adapts one disclosure-safe catalog and projection manifest.

Launching and Engaging with Epistemedia
Start at the human site and choose a topic. A topic page is a reproducible projection, not an anonymously edited canonical article. Inspect its lens, realm, frontier, policy, source objects, and manifest. Switch lenses to compare a coherent overview with evidence-first, skeptical, frontier, historical, pedagogical, or
