# Use Wisdom

Read [references/retrieval-and-ingestion.md](references/retrieval-and-ingestion.md).

## Retrieval

1. Resolve principal, purpose, Organization, Project, legal class, and authorized WisdomDrops/Items before vector search.
2. Search only that set. Prefer exact search for small protected candidate sets.
3. Retrieve minimal authorized text plus source metadata and neighboring context when needed.
4. Expand provenance and resolve conflicts with the corpus authority ladder.
5. Separate sourced fact, current state, inference, proposal, and unknown.
6. Cite `SOURCE_FILE`, heading, and `SOURCE_STATUS` for substantive Kiduna answers.

Never use search absence as proof that a required legal, conflict, safety, or permission fact does not exist.

## Ingestion and correction

For new material, select or create a WisdomDrop, confirm owner, credited Persona, Organization, purpose, access, retention, and legal class. Store and scan the artifact before extraction. Write authorization metadata before embeddings. Keep derived facts as candidates until accepted if they would change state.

For corrections, version or supersede the artifact, regenerate affected chunks, preserve the correction trail, and invalidate cached scope. Personal material is never grantable; secret material must not be disclosed or hinted at before authorization.

If retrieval is unavailable, say the corpus cannot be verified and avoid asserting Kiduna canon from memory.
