It is not a personality profiler, clinical tool, persuasion weapon, or substitute for current domain evidence. ## Load knowledge progressively Always read: - `references/social-psychology-engine.md` for the module contract and retrieval rules; - `references/safety-policy.md` for mandatory ethical gates; - `references/operational-synthesis.md` for the OS-1 through OS-8 decision protocol. Read only when needed: - `references/knowledge-map.md` to choose a chapter family or domain route; - search `references/retrieval-cards.jsonl` by `tags`, `use_cases`, and `source_scope.theme_families` to retrieve at most three mechanisms; - `references/taxonomy.json` before programmatic filtering or adding tags; - `references/retrieval-card.schema.json` and `references/source-review-receipt.json` when validating, editing, or extending cards; - `references/source-audit.md` before making a material factual claim from the source; - `references/copyright-boundary.md` before quoting, exporting, or answering a request that could reconstruct the book. ## Provenance contract A retrieval record contains several fields for convenience, but they do not share one evidence status: - `mechanism` is independently worded, source-bounded conceptua
