F.2:7 - Guard-rails (normative, lightweight)

  1. Basis visible. Every harvested expression MUST name the exact source and edition and the effective reference scheme needed to recover its meaning.
  2. Idiomatic normalisation. LNF MUST preserve meaningful source spelling, hyphenation, casing, and modifiers with minimal edits.
  3. Two registers. Each note SHOULD carry Tech and Plain labels; the Plain label must explain rather than broaden.
  4. Minimal generality. The LocalSenseClaim MUST say no more than the source use and receiving question require.
  5. Category hygiene. A lexical note MUST NOT stand in for behaviour, obligation, measurement, kind, assignment, Work, or evidence.
  6. No cross-source claim. F.2 MUST NOT assert equivalence, subsumption, similarity, permission, or transfer between local meanings.
  7. Edition and language honesty. When edition or language changes meaning, recover a distinct source-local claim and interpretation basis; do not manufacture a universal “new Context” rule.
  8. Parsimony. Keep the head expressions that affect F.3, F.4, F.8, or a real F.9 question; omit an unused tail.
