The manual should belong to the people building on it.
Two readers, one specification. Pick the door; every chapter links the section that binds it.

Two doors
-
Door one · in the protocol site’s dress
For builders of clients, hosts and tools
Planned · shown with invented examples
- What it’s for
- Building on Kindling: one of the four conformance classes in §11, or a registry, block list or agent that §11 does not name.
- What it’s not for
- A hosted consumer product, or a chargeable surface at the connection layer. §1.3 lists both as non-goals.
Article I is K.1, the protocol as a reader meets it. Article II is K.2, licensing and governance. Then the quick start, the manifest walkthrough and Try it as Hollis.
-
Door two · in the Charter’s dress
For curators and the organizations that keep Pools
Planned · shown with invented examples
Article I is K.4, curation as a craft. Article II is K.3, money beside the introduction. Then Try it as Hollis, the Money lines and the manifest walkthrough.
A door is a link. Choosing one stores nothing, and everything behind both doors is open. Where a chapter leans on the Field Manual, the edition carries a Kindling rewrite of that chapter, numbered K- after its source, and the original stays on solo.joshwolf.net. Both doors end with Chapter 10.4, and Chapter 10.9, crisis and support, is open to everyone.
