skill-carton-daemon-restart

WHAT: how to diagnose and restart the CartON observation worker daemon when it dies — check the worker log for the crash reason and relaunch the daemon with the required Neo4j env vars. WHEN: when ps aux shows no observation_worker process, carton_management says the daemon is off, queued observations stop being processed, or _ensure_daemon_running fails.

dev-flow-split-content

WHAT: the development-flow for the split-content capability — separating a concept whose description (n.d) holds raw CONTENT (a data dump / pasted document) from a real DESCRIPTION, by splitting the raw content into its own `{concept_name}_Desc_Content` node. Covers `carton_split_content.py` (both `build_split_spec`, the pure spec function, and `split_content_concept`, the thin neo4j-writing wrapper — self-contained, ONE module, per the one-capability-one-module law), the `Desc_Content` universal type, the `has_desc_content` relationship, and the `split_content_concept` MCP tool. WHEN: when editing `carton_split_content.py`, `split_content_concept`, the `Desc_Content` type, or the `has_desc_content` relationship; or adding a new capability that also needs the content-vs-description split (any of).

edit-add-concept-optional-fields

WHAT: the dev-flow for the OPTIONAL domain/subdomain/personal_domain/produces params on add_concept_tool_func — the internal chokepoint function every CartON concept-creation caller (Dragonbones, sm_gate.py, split_content_concept, the migration scripts) passes through, whether or not they use the add_concept MCP tool. WHEN: when editing add_concept_tool_func's domain/subdomain/personal_domain/produces params, merge_optional_domain_fields, or PERSONAL_DOMAINS in add_concept_tool.py (any of).

edit-carton-kv

WHAT: the development-flow for changing the CartON KV / CartonObj capability — the embedded-structured-KV-in-concept-descriptions feature (a <CartonObj name=..>{ JSON-with-bare-refs }</CartonObj> fence in n.d): the carton_kv parser/normalizer, edit_carton_obj (surgical single-leaf body edits + remove_fence), validate_carton_obj (schema + did-you-mean refs), the auto_link_description fence-opacity, fence-preservation (carry_forward_fences), ref-expansion, and the is_schema schema registry. It is the COMPLETE distributed edit-set (lib ↔ utils wrappers ↔ MCP tools ↔ the linker ↔ the daemon's live parse path ↔ the schema graph) + deploy + the only valid E2E test. WHEN: when editing carton_kv.py, the edit_carton_obj / validate_carton_obj / get_concept-expand MCP tools, the auto_link_description fence-opacity masking, the daemon fence/desc-mode parse path (parse_queue_file_to_concepts / batch_create_concepts_neo4j), or the is_schema schema-registry; or adding ANY new CartonObj capability (any of).
