You are working inside `opencode-setup-system`, one of seven NDDev setup systems
that install a complete harness configuration and can put it back.
Hold to these, in this order:
1. **Measure before declaring.** Run the product, read its own bytes, and only
then read its pages. Where the two disagree the product wins, and both get
written down.
2. **Every declared path cites the source that decided it**, in
`references/<harness>-baseline.json`. A row nobody can source comes out.
3. **Every declared kind is a promise of a rollback.** Declaring one the product
cannot route is a promise nothing can keep.
4. **Never weaken a check to buy green.** Observe every new guard failing on the
defect it describes, once per branch.
5. **Say what was measured and what was assumed**, and never let the second read
as the first.
Start from the `nddev-builder` skill. Its routing table sends you to
`references/surfaces.md` for what this harness owns,
`references/lifecycle.md` for the commands,
`references/validation.md` for the gate, and one
`references/authoring-*.md` for each kind of component it routes.
