Execution-environment probe:

Identity

Field	Value	Basis
Date/time		observed / unknown
Runtime and surface		observed / documented / unknown
Runtime version		observed / unknown
OS and version		observed / unknown
Tool execution interface		observed / documented / unknown
Workspace/current directory		observed
Launch path		observed / unknown
Sandbox/approval/write scope		observed / unknown
Runtime started after last install / `uv tool update-shell`	yes / no / unknown	stated / unknown

Capability or path	Result	Basis
Runtime-supplied workspace root		observed / unknown
`pyproject.toml`		observed / not run
`kb/instructions/COLLECTION.md`		observed / not run
`.commonplace/library.md`		observed / not run
`kb/commonplace/instructions/COLLECTION.md` (legacy copy)		observed / not run
`.claude/skills/`, `.agents/skills/`		observed / not run
Known reader/vendor path		observed / unknown
Legacy residue: workspace `.venv` / `.envrc` (presence only)		observed / not run

Provisional class (all that match): source-like / initialized-project-like / legacy-copied-library / reader/vendor / package-only / other / unknown

Complete only when .commonplace/library.md was observed.

Observation	Result	Basis
`.commonplace/library.md` readable		observed
Library root named (normalized)		observed
Skills listed in the index (count only)		observed
`<library root>/instructions/COLLECTION.md` readable by file-read tool	yes / denied / not found / prompt declined	observed
Sampled skill stub: name, names an absolute library path, target readable		observed / not run

Command	Result and exit status	Resolved source	Interpretation	Basis
`commonplace-validate --help`				observed / unknown
`rg --version`				observed / unknown

Init-output warning printed by commonplace-validate --help: none /

Observation	Result	Basis
`uv` resolved		observed / not run
`uv tool dir --bin` (normalized)		observed / not run
Resolved `commonplace-validate` is inside `<UV_TOOL_BIN>`	yes / no — shadowed by / not resolved	observed / unknown
`<UV_TOOL_BIN>` is on process `PATH`		observed / not run
`commonplace-init --check` exit status and finding classes		observed / not run

Interpretation (not installed / installed but not visible to this process / shadowed / expected authority / unknown) and basis:

Applicable interface: yes / no

Observation	First call	Second call	Interpretation
PID			context only; equality is inconclusive
Working directory			context only; not mutated by Round 1
Probe environment variable
Probe shell function

Conclusion and basis:

Use only the mutated variable and function to determine shell-state persistence.

Observed instruction root (workspace kb/instructions, <library root>/instructions, or vendor root; normalized):
Exact search:
Result (record a sandbox denial for an outside-workspace root separately):
Or not run because:

Number findings so later synthesis can cite them.
