# Logbook
The repository keeps a work logbook: `LOGBOOK.md` plus append-only daily files

actually stands right now, which is the thing you are least likely to guess
correctly from the code.
2. `## Standing decisions` in the same file, if it has one: the decisions that
still hold, each ending with the journal entry it rests on. Follow the

4. The most recent files in `journal/`, newest first. Far enough back to cover
the area you are about to touch.
You are reading for three things: a decision tha
