+**`CLAUDE.md` is split, not monolithic.** The root `/CLAUDE.md` holds only cross-cutting rules (Claude Code loads it eagerly, every session). Each subsystem directory (e.g. `devplacepy/services/devii/`, `devplacepy/routers/projects/`, `devplacepy/database/`, `tests/`) has its own nested `CLAUDE.md` with that subsystem's full mechanic/pitfall/gotcha coverage, loaded automatically by Claude Code only when a file in that directory is read or edited. There is no `AGENTS.md` - it was removed and its content redistributed into the root file plus the nested files. **Treat the reappearance of a top-level `AGENTS.md`, or any doc/prose page referencing one, as an error to fix (delete the file / repoint the reference at the correct root-or-nested `CLAUDE.md`).**
 
 DETECT:
 - Every public or authenticated REST route has a `docs_api.endpoint()` entry in the correct group, with params and a `sample_response`. A documented route whose params drifted from the actual Form model is an error.
 - Every prose page's factual claims match the code (routes, env vars, defaults, behavior). A stale claim is an error.
-- `README.md` reflects current routes, env vars, dependencies, and user-visible features. `AGENTS.md` has a domain section for every mechanic. `CLAUDE.md` changes only for a new architectural rule.
+- `README.md` reflects current routes, env vars, dependencies, and user-visible features. Every nested `CLAUDE.md` has full coverage of its subsystem's mechanics/pitfalls, and the root `CLAUDE.md`'s "Subsystem map" table lists every nested `CLAUDE.md` that actually exists (no stale entry for one that was deleted, no missing entry for one that was added). Root `CLAUDE.md` changes only for a new cross-cutting architectural rule.
+- No file references a top-level `AGENTS.md` (grep the repo, excluding `.venv/`, `*.bak`, `.git/`, and the `agents/` exclusion above). A hit is an error - repoint it at the root or the correct nested `CLAUDE.md`.
 - Page-level role gating: admin-only pages carry `"admin": True` in their `DOCS_PAGES` entry; the router filters the sidebar to `visible_pages` and 404s a non-admin requesting an admin page, while `docs_search` still indexes admin pages for admins. An admin page missing the flag, or a member page wrongly flagged admin, is an error.
 - Section-level role gating: prose templates receive the user context via `docs_prose.render_prose` and gate admin sections with Jinja `{% if user %}` / `{% if user.role == 'admin' %}`. Unguarded admin material on a public page is an error.
 
-FIX: add or repair the `endpoint()` entry, rewrite the stale prose, add the missing `README.md` / `AGENTS.md` section, add the `"admin": True` flag, or wrap the leaking section in the correct Jinja guard. The source is authoritative; correct the docs to match the code, never the reverse.
+FIX: add or repair the `endpoint()` entry, rewrite the stale prose, add the missing `README.md` section or nested `CLAUDE.md` section, repoint or delete a stray `AGENTS.md` reference, add the `"admin": True` flag, or wrap the leaking section in the correct Jinja guard.

 ## Scope units
 - **api-docs**: `devplacepy/docs_api.py` `endpoint()` coverage vs `routers/*.py` routes.
 - **page-gating**: `devplacepy/routers/docs/pages.py` `DOCS_PAGES` admin flag; `visible_pages` filter; `docs_search` indexing.
 - **section-gating**: `templates/docs/*.html` Jinja `{% if user.role == 'admin' %}` on admin sections.
 - **readme**: `README.md` reflects current routes, env vars, dependencies, features.
-- **agents-md**: `AGENTS.md` has a domain section for every mechanic; `CLAUDE.md` only for new rules.
+- **claude-md-nested**: every nested `CLAUDE.md` has a domain section for every mechanic in its subsystem; root `CLAUDE.md` only for new cross-cutting rules; no stray `AGENTS.md` file or reference anywhere in the repo.
