  • Decision: Paul accesses docs/general/ (and reads the rest of the vault) via git sparse-checkout of mg-monorepo, scoped to docs/. No repo split, no submodule. Paul's clone has only docs/ materialized on disk; rest of the monorepo exists in .git but isn't checked out.
  • Decision: Paul's Claude orientation rules (Paul-scope defaults, edit only general/, git/PR workflow conventions) live in CLAUDE.local.md at his clone's repo root — not committed to the monorepo. Keeps engineers' Claude context clean. Aaron sends the content to Paul once; Paul saves it locally.
  • Source: conversation 2026-05-04 with Aaron — sparse-checkout selected over repo split to preserve the integrated vault philosophy (/document skill, spec↔code coupling, ADR commit refs, single source of truth). Setup recipe: git clone --filter=blob:none --no-checkout, git sparse-checkout init --cone, git sparse-checkout set docs, git checkout main.
