WillTools 2026-09-09 -- clean snapshot of the development repo for review

History-free snapshot of the private development repository at 77a82eb.
Code, docs and the public catalogue only: no plant or job knowledge
layers, no client, job or producer names (tools/scrub.py clean against
the widened term list; a second word-level grep clean). The intro deck is
left out because its slide images cannot be checked for job drawings.

+# TEMPLATE ONLY -- not read by anything. Copy this file's SHAPE, never its
+# content, into a real knowledge/catalogue.yaml if the owner gives you one.
+#
+# This is what `knowledge/catalogue.yaml` looks like: the "published" layer,
+# meant to hold manufacturer data and trade-standard vocabulary that is the
+# same for everyone -- no client, job or plant name belongs in it either.
+# This particular distribution ships with NO catalogue at all (see
+# tools/make_dist.py), so every value below is a placeholder and every
+# section is a skeleton. Do not fill this file in and expect the tools to
+# read it -- see knowledge/README.md for how to get the real one.
+#
+# knowledge._merge_file() treats this file's absence as ordinary: nothing
+# crashes without it, but a few things stand down --
+#
+#   * knowledge.load() falls back to knowledge.DEFAULTS for anything this
+#     file would have overridden -- silent, unremarkable, by design.
+#   * vibe.ticketpage's master shop-ticket checklist (the `checklist.master`
+#     key below) is read from THIS file, and is the one thing that does NOT
+#     degrade quietly if the file is present but broken -- see the comment
+#     above `CHECKLIST_ITEMS` in lib/vibe/ticketpage.py. With no file at
+#     all (this distribution's state) it reports a clear, named reason
+#     instead of a checklist that looks like everything passed.
+
+# ============================================================== face_designations
+# The vocabulary a ticket uses for "which face of the piece" -- near/far
+# (measured from the viewing direction) vs. top/bottom-in-form (measured
+# from the casting bed). Trade abbreviations, not client data.

+# for why a file that is PRESENT but broken refuses loudly rather than
+# quietly running a shorter checklist.
