 ## AI boundary
 
-AI may freely create and edit files inside `00 INBOX/ai/`.
-When the user asks for documentation without naming an exact path, create it inside `00 INBOX/ai/`.
-Creating or editing files elsewhere requires explicit user approval, unless the user explicitly names that exact file path.
-AI-generated material outside the boundary is provisional until reviewed or explicitly promoted.
+Use `00 INBOX/ai/` for AI-authored documentation drafts and captures.
+Create documentation there when the user does not name an exact path.
+Create or edit documentation elsewhere only when the user names the exact file path.
+Treat all other vault areas as reviewed or operator-owned.
