The repo lives on a Gitea server and CI/CD is a long way off, so
.github/workflows/content-build.yml never ran. A workflow nobody executes is
worse than none: it read as a safety net that wasn't there.
Removing it moves the `--check` gate somewhere real. It is now enforced by
tools/content_build/tests/test_real_content.py, which runs check() against the
live bible under pytest — so the gate is a test you actually run, not a job
that never fired.
The world-building skill's verify step now says plainly that nothing runs these
for you, and adds the client suite to the checklist: content/world/ is a CLIENT
INPUT (content_db.gd loads it, test_content_db.gd asserts on it), so a content
change can break the client. That is exactly what the Duncarrow purge did, and
with no CI there is nothing else to catch it.

The purge left `gate: never` — the rung no disposition unlocks — demonstrated
nowhere. Duncarrow's Crell chain had taught it; specimen.md only taught `warm`.
Adds secret.specimen-drowned-clerk (secrecy 4, gate: never), so the specimen
now shows an ascending 2 -> 4 chain and a reason `never` exists: the NPC holds
it, but saying it aloud would hang him. Mirrored in the skill's worked example,
which now states the rule — if any rung *should* buy the secret, gate it at
`trusted` instead.

The purge plan assumed content/world/** was pure build output. The client
reads it: content_db.gd loads content/world/topics/ (now absent, since every
topic was Duncarrow-generated) and its tests asserted on deleted ids.
- content_db: a missing content dir is an empty dir, not an error (§13)
- test_content_db: repoint at cosmology canon; drop deleted npc.mera-fenn
- test_content_db: assert the no-body-on-client invariant structurally, so it
cannot pass vacuously when the topic set is empty
- schema.md: finish repointing the worked example onto specimen.md's ids
- restore a local real-bible --check smoke test (was only in CI)
- roadmap: record that generated content has client consumers

Author gritty, disposition-gated Margreave content (lore bible + hand-authored
quest/item/location/origin JSON) that reconciles against existing canon before
writing, holds the world's hard-by-default / warm-when-earned NPC tone, and keeps
the content_build --check gate green.
- SKILL.md: read-before-write workflow, read-only on existing canon (propose
diffs, require approval), build+check+pytest as the done bar.
- references/schema.md: full bible + JSON contract, secrecy scale, gate model.
- references/tone.md: tone contract + NPC disposition-warmth model.
- scripts/canon_index.py: dumps existing ids for reconciliation.
- evals/: 3 test cases (all green in isolated-worktree runs).
Un-ignore /.claude/skills/ so project skills are versioned like code; all other
.claude/ dirs (root + nested api/client) stay ignored.
