Editorial Integration & Publishing System.

Edition 13 is the spine pass. It introduces no new top-level systems. Instead it wires everything Edition 12 added — Field Reports, Collections, Field Guides, Trackers, Bundles, the Citation Registry — into a single Knowledge Graph and a single Civic Library. Every page now ends with a "What next?" instead of a dead end.

Added

• Publication Architecture — one master registry adapts every per-kind list (handbooks, packets, field guides, field reports, collections, citations).
• Knowledge Graph — typed edges (companion, prerequisite, recommendedNext, cited-by, mentioned-in). Edges auto-mirror so relationships are reciprocal.
• The Civic Library at /library — front door for researchers.
• The Civic Canon at /canon — editorial top ten.
• The Plate Registry at /about/plates — every illustration, indexed.
• Reading status dots stored locally (○ ◐ ✓). Cleared with one button.
• Universal Sidebar exposing Editorial DNA on every publication.
• "What next?" strip on every leaf, computed from the graph.
• Understated errata footer on every handbook.
• Plate of the Week + From the Field strips on the home page.

Tightened

• Footer collapsed from encyclopedic to editorial.
• Workbench tiles reordered by likely first-use.
• Civic Language Audit doc published; codemod follows in 13.1.
• Illustration Grammar promoted from bible to spec.

New bylaws

Ten new bylaws (31–40): Reachability, Strengthen before expand, Action before knowledge, No dead ends, Relationships first-class, Every illustration teaches, Editions accumulate, One graph, Local-only reading status, Voice QA advisory.

Deferred to Edition 13.1

• Full 12-handbook citation backfill + Sources appendices.
• Internal Publication Health Dashboard.
• Binder Tab cover sheets (A–F).
• llms.txt + sitemap extension for new routes.
• Civic Language codemod sweep.
