lisa-wiki-query

Answer from the wiki, with citations, without changing it (by default).

Workflow

0. Resolve the wiki root. Run node scripts/ensure-wiki.mjs --json and use the returned wikiRoot as the base for every read below — never assume wiki/. A local wiki resolves instantly (no-op); a wiki whose .lisa.config.json declares wiki.source.url is mirrored and refreshed transparently first. The script is offline-tolerant (it proceeds with the existing mirror and warns rather than blocking), so freshness is guaranteed here and the caller never has to think about it.
1. Read <wikiRoot>/index.md to locate candidate pages; consult <wikiRoot>/start-here.md for orientation.
2. Drill into the relevant synthesis pages and their cited source notes.
3. Synthesize an answer. Every claim cites its wiki page and/or source note. If the wiki does not support an answer, say so plainly rather than inventing one; suggest an /ingest that would fill the gap. Only record the gap in wiki/open-questions/ if the user explicitly asks (that is a writeback — see step 4); never write it silently.
4. Writeback (opt-in only): if — and only if — the user explicitly asks to persist new synthesis discovered during the query, route it through the ingest pipeline so provenance/index/log/state stay consistent, and log it as a QUERY operation. Never write back silently.

Rules

• Read-only by default. No page edits, index/log changes, state advancement, or PRs unless the user explicitly requests writeback.
• Prefer the wiki's own content over outside knowledge; distinguish wiki-sourced facts from your own reasoning.
• Surface contradictions or stale claims you encounter as /lint-style findings rather than silently picking one.
