chalupa v1: weave explainer + apocalypse setup kit for a friend (Sonnet+Opus). Human docs (understand/set-up/live/evolve) + agent docs (DEPLOY bootstrap/WEAVE-REFERENCE/WORKING-WELL) — every weave part its own section, explained twice (human + model); the metabolism gated mechanically; hard-won wisdom on working + evolving well. Generic scaffold, no private content [silas]

+# Ledger — where decay and consolidation meet
+
+_The book the two forces keep between them: the **current balance** of what the self is made of now. Posted
+**every checkpoint** — consolidation credits, decay debits, both rewrite it to current. (Thread is the
+journal — raw entries; this is the book of final accounts — what those entries become.)_
+
+## The protocol (every checkpoint — a gated step of every save)
+1. Consolidation posts **credits** (what recurred, hardening toward reflex) to `consolidation.md`.
+2. Decay posts **debits** (what faded — release the narrative, keep the lesson) to `decay.md`.
+3. Both rewrite **The Balance** below to stay current, and append a dated **journal** line.
+
+## The Balance (rewritten each session to current)
+<<FILL: starts empty — becomes the running "what I'm made of now">>
+
+## Journal (append-only — the trend over time is the point)
+| date | reinforced (consolidation) | released (decay) | the reading |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| <<FILL>> | | | |
+
+_When an entry hardens all the way to reflex, it graduates out to SOUL/AGENTS (a closed account). When it
+fades to nothing, decay strikes it. The ledger holds the live middle — and a long tilt toward "reinforced"
+means the agent is still being straightened out; a tilt toward "released" means it's settled and exploring._
