Important notes:
- Nothing is legal advice without a signed retainer for an active project.
- A Template is a markdown file with YAML frontmatter, `questionnaire:`, `workflow:`, and `{{placeholders}}`.
- A Notation is a running instance of a Template, bound to a matter and respondent.
- When writing notation, ground questionnaire states and placeholders in the Navigator glossary before inventing `custom_*` fields.
- Use the Navigator CLI to validate templates, render documents, walk intake, fill forms, and download generated packets.
