Runtime Configuration (Step 0 — before any processing)

Read these files to configure domain-specific behavior:

ops/derivation-manifest.md — vocabulary mapping, platform hints
- Use vocabulary.notes for the notes folder name
- Use vocabulary.note / vocabulary.note_plural for note type references
- Use vocabulary.topic_map for MOC references
- Use vocabulary.templates for the templates folder path
ops/config.yaml — processing depth
- processing.depth: deep | standard | quick

If these files don't exist, use universal defaults.

Processing depth adaptation:

Depth	Validation Behavior
deep	Full schema validation. All checks enabled including composability analysis and cross-reference verification
standard	Full validation — all checks enabled
quick	Basic schema validation only — required fields, YAML validity, enum values

EXECUTE NOW

Target: $ARGUMENTS

Parse immediately:

If target contains a note name: validate that specific note
If target contains --handoff: output RALPH HANDOFF block at end
If target is "all" or "notes": validate all notes in {DOMAIN:notes}/ directory
If target is empty: ask which note to validate

Execute these steps:

Step 1: Locate Template

Determine which template applies to the target note:

Check the note's location — notes in {DOMAIN:notes}/ use the standard note template
