+# Seed Export Manifest
+
+The files in `seed/original/` are immutable witnesses exported from the original Kalsa WordPress material on 2026-08-20. Their timestamp filenames are preserved because the export supplied no safer stable identifier. Canonical notes may cite, reinterpret, or reject claims from these witnesses; they must not rewrite the witnesses.

+## Canonicalization rule
+
+The manifest records provenance, not adoption. A seed claim becomes live shared canon only when a canonical owner note under `Kalsa/` incorporates it. Unsupported details remain available here as evidence without gaining authority through repetition.
+
+## Integrity check
+
+From the repository root:
+
+```powershell
+.\scripts\lore\verify-seed.ps1
+```
