-`REVIEWER.md`, `LABELS.md`, and `RELEASES.md` — state each normative rule

 ## How the other repos use this
 
-Two consumption modes, split by what has a runtime:
-
-- **Machinery is consumed by reference.** Workflows and actions are fetched
-  by GitHub at run time from the ref the caller pins — no copy exists in the
-  consumer.
-- **Doctrine is consumed as a machine-verified mirror.** A document's only
-  "runtime" is an agent reading the working tree of the repo it stands in —
-  a doc that requires a cross-repo fetch before it governs is a doc that
-  sometimes goes unread. So the agent-facing set — **AGENTS.md, TRIAGE.md,
-  BUILDER.md, REVIEWER.md, LABELS.md, RELEASES.md** — is vendored into each governed
-  repo at **`.ceremony/`**, byte-identical to this repo at the pinned ref,
-  by the sync tool (issue #19). A CI guard diffs the mirror against the pin
-  on every PR: hand-editing a vendored file, or bumping the pin without
-  re-syncing, goes red. It is a copy that cannot drift — which is the only
-  kind of copy this org allows.

 A governed repo (box, rig, cast, incubator, …) therefore carries:
