= Summary =
Reference guidance for consistent context assembly and content generation.

= Rules =
* Default present year is 2991 unless otherwise specified by the current canon layer.
* Use the Master Timeline as chronology reference, not as primary evidence.
* Where dates are uncertain, indicate approximation rather than inventing exact precision.
* Disputed and ◆-marked entries should not be treated as settled chronology without qualification.
