Neither setting did what it looked like it did, and the knowledge base had no page for either, so both were invisible until the operator asked. tools/neovim.md: the two entry points (vanilla `nvim`, `lazyvim` as an NVIM_APPNAME profile), the fresh-box install, the base16 wallpaper-palette hook with its SIGUSR1 contract, and the trap that matters — the official recipe clones over ~/.config/nvim and destroys the vanilla quick-edit path. tools/applications.md gets the editor row (Ghostty's row had lost its label) and Neovim's verified version. core/dankvoice.md gains the arming rule: arming is session-scoped, a silent session start is a config state, and the two checks — `/say status` then `pgrep -a pw-play` — prove the chain without blaming the endpoint. kb-lint 0 violations, index-coverage 0 issues.
