Shards edit items and add new ones, carrying cliloc ids no stock client table has. The cliloc table now reads a SET of sources rather than one file — a base plus every operator-maintained overlay under `custom/`, hash-gated together and re-read on every boot, exactly as §6 reads the ServUO tree. Matching docs for website #115. website/CLILOCS.md gains a "Shard-added and shard-edited items" section: the directory layout, merge precedence, the per-source breakdown an operator uses to confirm an overlay took effect, and why `custom/` is a convention we chose rather than one discovered from the shard — ServUO has no server-side notion of a custom cliloc, they live in the patched client a shard distributes and nothing in the tree declares them. Scale recorded: the live shard's script tree references 16,434 cliloc ids and only 37 are absent from stock, which is why this is an overlay and not a second table. "Why there is no staged-approval flow" is replaced by "Two ways a refresh is refused", because the set brings back the hazard a single file did not have. A corrupt source fails the parse loudly; a source that has VANISHED parses perfectly and imports a table quietly missing everything it contributed. That is the same ambiguity §6 stages a facet removal for, so it is staged here too (`needsReview`, `{approve:true}` to accept) — as a flag rather than §6's approve/reject pair, because the atlas stores a pending decision SO THAT approving re-parses, and here nothing is stored. Two more traps recorded in §8.6 (now five), both found by running a shard-style overlay rather than another stock-table fixture: - Tidying punctuation unconditionally corrupts real names — a custom "Runic Gateway Sigil (v2)" rendered as "(v2". Stripping leftover brackets is right after a placeholder is removed and wrong otherwise, the same condition the `%` rule already had. - Source labels must be forward-slashed and root-relative or the same directory fingerprints differently on Windows and Linux and every boot looks like a change — the identical bug §6 records. BACKEND_DESIGN.md: the source set, the two refusals, and the updated admin route notes (`approve`, `missingSources`, overlays found beside a file path). Documentation only. Every claim was written after the behaviour was observed: the counts come from the live shard's script tree, and the refusal/approve flow and per-source breakdown are copied from real runs in website #115. PROJECT_TREE.md files are deliberately untouched — CI-generated by the sync-project-tree workflow. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
