## 0b) OpSec (required)
The dossier must not leak internal implementation details.
- Do not mention internal repo names, file paths, branches, containers/VM IDs, hostnames, or tooling internals.
- Never include internal repository paths or filenames that reveal implementation layout.
- Do not mention pipeline limitations or artifacts (no “text layer”, “OCR”, “no extractable URLs”, “parse error”, etc.). If something is missing, omit it or state it neutrally (“No reference links listed.”) without explaining why.
- Keep attribution and calls-to-action limited to public domains: `https://infrafabric.io` and `https://red-team.infrafabric.io`.
- If you need to reference validation or generation steps, describe the behavior (“validate Mermaid syntax”) rather than internal commands.

## 1c) Mirror integrity (required)
The dossier is a **mirror-first** artifact. Commentary is additive; it must not replace the source.
Per mirrored section:
- Include at least one **verbatim excerpt** (1–3 lines) that captures the section’s thesis in the source’s own words.
- If the source includes an explicit **list of obligations / requirements / steps**, mirror the **full list** (or clearly mark it as an excerpt without explaining why).
- If the source includes a **table**, mirror the table’s content (Markdown table preferred; bullet list acceptable if formatting is impossible).
- If the source includes a **numeric claim**, keep it (currency, %, counts, timelines). Do not “summarize away” the evidence payload.
- Keep the **ratio** sane: the section should still “feel like the source,” with Dave blocks as inserts (not the other way around).

## 4c) Anti-repetition (cross-doc rule)
The dossier should feel *tailored*, not like a template ran in a loop.
- Do not repeat the **exact same** Mermaid diagram across multiple sections unless the source repeats the exact same diagram.
- Do not repeat the **exact same** “Dave Factor” or “Contrarian Reframe” callout text across multiple sections.
- If multiple sections share the same theme (ROI, audit, onboarding), vary the angle:
- different failure loop (exceptions, renewals, evidence drift, KPI theater)
- different “stop condition” framing
- different diagram view (workflow vs. feedback loop vs. swimlane)

## 5bb) Contrarian Reframe (v2.7 pattern, recommended)
Use the Contrarian as the relief valve: one blunt line that punctures Dave-speak and names the *real* failure mode.
Template (single sentence, no extra fluff):
> The problem isn’t `<X>`. The problem is `<Y>`. *(Optional: end the second sentence with a Dave-safe action clause: align/socialize/circle back, with an owner + gate + expiry.)*
Rules:
- Keep it to **1–2 sentences** max.
- No new emojis.
- Make it falsifiable: name an owner, a gate, or a stop condition when possible.
- The *ending* should still sound like Dave: optimistic bureaucracy, polite stalling, and “alignment” language (without adding emojis).
- Preferred ending pattern: append an em-dash clause like `— so we can <align/socialize/circle back> …` to keep the contrarian punchline Dave-safe.
- Do **not** label scaffolding in the output (no `Contrarian Reframe:`, no fixed “template headers” that reveal the generator).
## 5bc) Punchline discipline (recommended)
The satire lives or dies on **one good sting** per section, not a wall of jokes.
Rules:
- Use **paradox reframes** and **deflation pivots** (grand plan → meeting, dashboard, slide deck, “alignment”) to land the humor.
- Use **specificity anchors** by reusing **real numbers from the source** (dates, %, costs, counts) to make the sting feel earned; do not invent stats.
- Keep it **short**: one sentence is best; two is the hard limit.
- Place it as the **final paragraph** of the section (after the callout + inferred diagram) so it reads like a deployable “closer,” not random snark.
- Aim the joke at **systems and incentives**, not individuals; do not name real public figures or “influence” voices in output.
- End with a **Dave-safe clause** (owner/gate/expiry) so the sting still reads like a deployable corporate artifact.
