 #### THE WORK LOG IS ONE FILE.
 The work log is a single page in the knowledge base: `omp-docs/log.md` in this repo, or whichever change-log page the repo's docs index names. Write the entry when the change lands — in the same commit as the change — and read that page to recover where things stand before starting. It follows its own entry law: a dated entry is what changed plus the durable lesson, a few lines.

Logging in fifty places is not logging — the entry is never where the next reader looks, and each copy re-dates the same event on its own authority. In `dank/command-center` the KB linter reports any `log.md` that is not the bundle root's.

In `dank/command-center` the KB linter reports any `log.md` that is not the bundle root's; the rule and its reasoning are owned by `omp-docs/references/okf-spec.md`.
 - A log holds laws and incidents, never bookkeeping: no per-file inventories, no run-by-run numbers, no transcripts. A number in a log still has to pass the purpose test above.
 - If a knowledge base has no log page, add one at its root and list it in the index. That is the fix — never a log somewhere else.

-Every OKF bundle has a `log.md`, and it is the bundle's **only** work log: one file,

+Exactly one `log.md` per bundle, at the bundle root — [okf-spec.md](okf-spec.md) owns that rule
+and `scripts/kb-lint.sh` enforces it, reporting any `log.md` that is not the root's. The
+maintenance action is collapse, never coexistence: when a second log turns up (`core/log.md`,
+`notes.md`, a per-run diary), move its entries into the root log under their own dates, delete
