* `README.md`: the track's v0 scope inventory (finalized at kickoff with maintainer POV)
* `brief.md`: the finalized scope and the standard 13 questions applied to this layer
* `findings.md`: the answers, closing with the mandatory Cross-Cutting Concerns (C1 to C10) and Challenged Defaults sections
* `sources.md`: dated source list

Skeletons live in `_TEMPLATE/`. A track is complete only when all template sections are filled or explicitly marked N/A with justification.
