Orion vault — clean initial history

Knowledge vault (Orion/PARA) migrated from the pre-Orion 484vault on
2026-10-01. Deliberately orphaned: prior history contained a plaintext
password and stays local-only on branch archive/pre-boilerplate-history.
Secrets and live Hermes state are gitignored.

+# Open questions
+
+**The register of decisions nobody has made yet.** Numbered, never renumbered — a closed question keeps its number. Items arrive here from `orion-lint` (a finding carried two cycles) and `orion-cascade` (a warning carried two runs). Each is written as a forced binary:
+
+`N. **Question** — Option A / Option B. Raised YYYY-MM-DD.`
+
+Close one by appending `**CLOSED YYYY-MM-DD** — the answer`.
+
+## Register
+
+1. **Legacy `00-` agent-protocol files** (`START-HERE.md`, `Current State.md`, `Hermes Operating Manual.md`, `Hermes Vault Prompt.md`) — fence them (keep on disk, out of vault) / archive them to `5. Archive/`. They reference an older `00-HERMES/` protocol; `Current State.md` is stale (2026-09-04). Raised 2026-10-01.
+2. **`08-TEMPLATES/` (Meeting Notes, Startup Prompt)** — keep frozen as legacy / fold Meeting Notes into `6. Templates/` with a contract. Raised 2026-10-01.
+3. **"Poly Investment Meeting 6-22-26 Readout"** — Lab 484 knowledge (inferred from filename) / belongs elsewhere. Moved to Lab 484 by inference; confirm or repoint. Raised 2026-10-01.
+4. **Root strays** (`apps.jsonc`, `ThemEncoreSettings.json`, `system-reference-final.txt`, 10 `Pasted image *.png` referenced by the Boltcard knowledge note) — leave at root / move to an assets folder. Raised 2026-10-01.
+5. **`bb44` password** — still a live credential anywhere (then rotate; it persists in pre-2026-10-01 git history + backup tarball) / already dead (nothing more to do). Raised 2026-10-01.
+
+**Live count: 5**

+
+## Area tags
+
+One tag per Area, carried by its hub and everything under it — its Projects and its `knowledge/` notes. Registered here by `orion-instantiate`.
+
+| Tag | Area |
+|---|---|
+| `products` | Products |
+| `lab-484` | Lab 484 |
+| `sapien` | Sapien |
+| `boltcard` | Boltcard |
+| `home-personal` | Home Personal |
+
+**An Area tag records where something entered the vault.** Add a second one if a page genuinely belongs to two Areas; never strip the original.
+
+## Topic tags
+
+For `3. Resources/Research/` — reusable knowledge that belongs to no single Area. **Topic tags only there, never an Area tag.** Add to this list rather than inventing ad hoc tags.
+
+| Tag | For |
+|---|---|
+| `reference` | Every knowledge note carries this |
+
+## Structural tags
+
+`hub` · `person` · `thread` · `decision` · `inbox` · `daily-note` · `weekly-sweep` · `meta` · `fold` · `archive`
