| 3 | ### Load order (ascending specificity) |
| 4 | |
| 5 | User global docs → ancestor chain → project docs → project-local (`*.local.md`). |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Recognized names: `REASONIX.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md` (and `*.local.md` variants). Multiple files in one directory can load; symlink identity is deduped. |

| 10 | Hooks remain runtime event handlers loaded from their configured locations. |
