3Read these files to configure domain-specific behavior:
4 
51. **`ops/derivation-manifest.md`** — vocabulary mapping, extraction categories, platform hints
6   - Use `vocabulary.notes` for the notes folder name
7   - Use `vocabulary.inbox` for the inbox folder name
8   - Use `vocabulary.note` for the note type name in output
9   - Use `vocabulary.note_plural` for the plural form
10   - Use `vocabulary.reduce` for the process verb in output
11   - Use `vocabulary.cmd_reflect` for the next-phase command name
12   - Use `vocabulary.cmd_reweave` for the backward-pass command name
13   - Use `vocabulary.cmd_verify` for the verification command name
14   - Use `vocabulary.extraction_categories` for domain-specific extraction table
15   - Use `vocabulary.topic_map` for MOC/topic map references
16   - Use `vocabulary.topic_maps` for plural form
17 
182. **`ops/config.yaml`** — processing depth, pipeline chaining, selectivity
19   - `processing.depth`: deep | standard | quick
20   - `processing.chaining`: manual | suggested | automatic
21   - `processing.extraction.selectivity`: strict | moderate | permissive
22 
233. **`ops/queue/queue.json`** — current task queue (for handoff mode)
24 
25If these files don't exist (pre-init invocation or standalone use), use universal defaults:
26- depth: standard
27- chaining: suggested
28- selectivity: moderate
29- notes folder: `notes/`
30- inbox folder: `inbox/`
