Resolve the open tensions surfaced in the pre-Phase-1 second pass over
design.md and tech-spec.md:
- Context items: Fork A index model — body markdown is the source of
truth; context items are a locally-derived, non-synced index;
identity is pinned at promotion. Dissolves the body-CRDT vs.
extraction convergence problem.
- Recurrence: roll-forward in place; drop task_occurrences and
is_template; advance to next RRULE instance after now (skip misses).
- Identity: deterministic ids for journal/tag (offline-convergent);
ULID for content nodes and project.
- Mode/sync: orthogonal hub_url spoke capability; everyday device is
local + hub_url, not server.
- Auth/owner: nullable oidc_sub, friction-free local user, hub-
authoritative identity, one-time pre-first-sync adoption rewrite.
- Ranking: do_date is a boolean candidacy filter only; late_on is the
sole urgency signal (global tier); FIFO tiebreak; order expressed as
a reorderable named-dimension list.
- Modes are plugin-side compositions; add list() and log.tail().
- Frame v1 as a single deliberate C1; misc cleanups (export, health,
CI nvim runner, README license).

Replace "distributed from day one" with a targetable Store backend that
supports the full spectrum from local-only to distributed by configuration:
- Store trait with LocalStore (direct SQLite, exclusive lock) and
RemoteStore (RPC to a server)
- three hephd runtime modes: local / server / client
- exclusive-lock handoff so the same SQLite file can pass between local and
server mode; client mode is thin and online-only
- offline remains a property of local-backed replicas syncing via the hub
Local-only is now a first-class configuration. Build order starts at local
mode. Updates docs/reference/tech-spec.md (§1, §3.1, §11) and
docs/explanation/design.md (§9, §11) to match.

Customize the generated repo (rename Dagger module to hephaestus_ci /
HephaestusCi, set docs baseUrl, add All-Rights-Reserved LICENSE, update
README/AGENTS), and add the project's foundational design documentation:
- docs/explanation/design.md — rationale + decision-history record
- docs/reference/tech-spec.md — implementation-ready technical spec
These define hephaestus as a self-hosted, client/server + offline-first
system unifying a markdown knowledge base with task management: typed node
graph, the lived priority discipline ("what is next?"), recurrence with
fresh-per-occurrence checklists, op-log/CRDT sync with conflict resolution,
OIDC/Authentik auth, the heph.nvim surface, and a TDD strategy.
