# Document classification

Classification chooses the main knowledge collection for a captured document.
The choice must follow evidence investigation, not the URL, file name, a user
example, or a fixed content-specific prompt.

Read the current collection-neutral evidence view, explain a short
evidence-backed recommendation and its output implications, then obtain the
user decision unless the current session explicitly delegates this gate.
Read every Route-selected `context.source-body/*` resource in full. Index and
heading metadata support navigation but are not evidence that the document
body was read.

After the decision, declare the complete align, compile, and review lifecycle
for the same canonical source and collection. Re-evaluate instead of assuming
the declaration closed every document target.
