fix(api,watcher,server): reject moves non-markdown untouched; read caps; BOM; strict routing flag (review of #211, pass 2)
- brain_reject on a parked pdf/txt moves the bytes; it no longer prepends YAML
- raw/ notes are read through a cap (readCapped); an endless reader test fails
  instead of exhausting memory
- a byte-order mark no longer hides a note's wing: key
- INGEST_WING_ROUTING is parsed strictly; a typo stops the server rather than
  leaving routing silently off
- tests for the reserved-wing check in every disguise (Sources, sources., ...)
Mutation-checked.

# The raw/ inbox
`raw/` is an inbox: only unprocessed material sits there. Syncthing shares it
with the machines you drop files from. (hyperguild#205, #208, #209)
## What happens to a file you drop
| You drop | Result |
|---|---|
| `raw/clip.md` (no folder, no `wing:`) | extracted and filed as a source in `wiki/web-clip/sources/`; its concepts and entities update the shared `wiki/concepts/` and `wiki/entities/` pages; the original moves to `raw/processed/<date>/`, so `raw/` is empty again |
| `raw/<wing>/clip.md` or `wing: <wing>` in the frontmatter | the same, with the source in `wiki/<wing>/sources/`. The wing must already exist; a typo is parked, never created. This is your deliberate choice and is not second-guessed |
| a note whose text matches the client-content pattern, with no folder | parked in `raw/needs-review/`, not extracted |
| a folder or `wing:` naming an unknown, reserved or non-ASCII wing, or two disagreeing signals | parked in `raw/needs-review/` |
| a note over the size cap, or one that cannot be archived | stays in `raw/`, reported once, not retried until it changes |
Concepts and entities are shared across wings because their slug is the graph's
identity. A source whose slug is taken gets a wing-qualified one (`notes-homelab`).
## Parked notes
`brain_pending` lists them with `queue: needs-review`, a proposed wing and the
reason. To act on one: `brain_promote` / `brain_reject` (pass `queue` when the
same name also sits in the inbox), or move the file into `raw/<wing>/` to have it
extracted. Parked pdf/txt files are listed but can only be moved or rejected.
## Switching it on
Routing is off by default (the retired layout is used). Set on the ingestion
deployment:
| Variable | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `INGEST_WING_ROUTING` | `1`/`true` enables the rules above; unset or `0`/`false` is off; any other value stops the server at startup |
| `INGEST_DEFAULT_WING` | wing for unsignalled notes (default `web-clip`; must be a plain name, not `sources`/`concepts`/`entities`/`wiki`) |
| `INGEST_CLIENT_BLOCK` | case-insensitive regexp over note text; a match parks an unsignalled note. Falls back to `CLAUDE_INGEST_CLIENT_BLOCK`. Matched after folding fullwidth letters, removing zero-width characters, normalising dashes and removing whitespace. Patterns with spaces, `\\s` or `\\b` work (whitespace is collapsed in one view and removed in another). It catches what it names and nothing else: leetspeak, punctuation splits (`a.c.m.e`), encodings and homoglyphs outside a small Cyrillic/Greek table are not caught. Large notes are checked in 1 MiB chunks |
A bad default or pattern stops the server at startup. A wing created while the
server runs is usable without a restart.
## Known limits
- A deliberate folder into a sensitive wing places the note there, and the shared
concept/entity pages then cite that source by title. Client material does not
belong in the brain at all; the pattern only guards the unsignalled lane.
- A merge into a shared page refreshes `last_updated` and `origin` to the latest
ingest; the first wing's attribution is not kept.
- A marker file (`<note>.processed`) is only written when a processed original
cannot be removed. One at least as new as its note holds the note (and says
so once); an older or future-dated one is ignored and removed.
