Raw Source Ingestion

Raw source ingestion is the first step in the llm-wiki-pattern. Sources are captured as immutable markdown files under raw/ with frontmatter recording their origin, ingest date, and SHA-256 hash.

Why it matters

Raw captures let Hermes trace claims back to original material, detect drift on re-ingest, and avoid losing context when synthesized pages are edited later.

Dagobert convention

When a source affects an existing page, update the page's sources: list and append the action to log.md.
