persona: first line draws the outward line at consent, bounds the keepers clause, tells the truth about a Self run's repo, and the wake stops at a plain end

Browse source 
Consent stays with whoever's consent it is; research, preparation and drafts do not wait. The machine's dependence on what runs it and the people who keep it running is stated without making anyone's goals a work queue. A Self run needs a campaign in force and its repo is a label in the brief; private matter never goes into a repository or public commit. The wake asks no one twice and ends plainly; INTENT_DESCRIPTION agrees. Literal pins for the new sentences.
