# Per-file word-count overrides for tools/docs_check.py (DOC002).
# Format: <repo-relative path> = <max words>
# These are pre-existing documents whose size predates the Scribe Coding migration
# (2026-08-03) — listed here rather than split, to avoid losing content during a
# structural reorganization. See docs/technical/01-documentation-conventions.md for
# the sprawl-control policy new documents should follow.

# ^ dropped back down 2026-08-04: archived 2026-07-21..2026-07-27 to
# docs/archive/CHANGELOG-2026-07.md (W-014 closed). Headroom for ongoing entries before
# the next archive pass is needed.
docs/archive/CHANGELOG-2026-07.md = 12500
# ^ archived-for-size, not sprawl — frozen content, headroom is just slack, not an
# invitation to keep adding to it.

# ^ bumped 2026-08-03 for BR-CLI-024..027 (cairn-registry, ADR-048); genuine new command-
# surface content, not sprawl — section C already delegates substance to BR-REG rather
# than restating it. Bumped again 2026-08-04 for the new-tag/retag -> assign-tag merge
# (ADR-050, BR-CLI-004/009/010).
