The default tab interval was fixed at 1.25cm, so a file's own
w:defaultTabStop / style:tab-stop-distance was ignored and the DOCX
export wrote 1.25 back over Word's 1.27. It is a document setting now.
A stop can also carry the character it repeats across its gap. odf-kit
has no leader option and mints one automatic style per option set, so
the leader rides style:type behind a sentinel — matching on position
and alignment alone gave every stop at 6cm the same leader, which
LibreOffice drew back plain as day.
The root file is read at every session start and had grown to 87 KB, so every
session paid for knowledge it did not use. Move the per-directory detail into
nested CLAUDE.md files, which load when a file in that directory is touched,
and the five deep-dive topics into docs/. The root keeps the commands, the hard
rules and an index of where the rest lives.
Content moved verbatim — the probed Word/LibreOffice behaviour, sentinel order
and shared constants are what the code cannot say. CI fails the root over 120
lines, since a prose budget alone is what let it grow.
