Allowlist Every Path a Docs Generator May Write

5+ day, 5+ hour ago   (537+ words) Many teams keep one markdown file per route and let a model fill the entire page. Parameter names recovered from OpenAPI then sit beside sentences that promise multi-year compatibility. Reviewers cannot see which lines a schema can prove and which…...

Source-Bound Docs: Models Restate Files, Humans Own Promises

1+ week, 23+ hour ago   (909+ words) Use this table as a checked-in policy, not as a vibe check that reviewers apply after the model has already written. Rows name documentation surfaces, and columns separate restatable facts from commitments that require a human owner. If a proposed…...
