-      A producer namespace groups everything one producer builds and MIRRORS its forge layout.
-      There are exactly TWO forge HOSTS — ct-forge (134.199.243.61) and mc-forge (159.203.170.249,
-      magic civilization) — and THREE producer namespaces:
-      @ct (cocotte tech; ct-forge orgs applications/packages/platform/developer; symlink to
-      @projects/@cocottetech),
-      @mc (magic civilization; mc-forge),
-      @quinn (the DEFAULT producer for anything not distinctly @ct or @mc; hosted on ct-forge
-      under the `quinn/` user namespace).
-      No other forges exist — the former black.lan/lilith forge is retired and all its repos
-      migrate to ct-forge (ct orgs for @ct work, quinn/ for @quinn work).
+      A producer namespace groups everything one producer builds and MIRRORS its OWN forge
+      1:1 — one forge per producer, no sharing. Three producers, three forges:
+      @ct (cocotte tech; ct-forge 134.199.243.61),
+      @mc (magic civilization; mc-forge 159.203.170.249),
+      @quinn (the DEFAULT producer for anything not distinctly @ct or @mc; quinn-forge).
+      Each forge is stood up from the SAME reusable module @quinn/@developer/tf-forge (DO project
+      + droplet + Forgejo + Verdaccio + PAT), parameterized per producer — so a new producer's
+      forge is created the way the first two were. The retired black.lan/lilith forge's repos
+      migrate to the appropriate producer forge.
       Inside a producer namespace live its kind-orgs: e.g. @ct/@applications, @ct/@packages,
-      @ct/@platform, @ct/@developer — each the workspace checkout of the matching forge path.
-    rationale: Producer is stable; license/distribution is not. A project released OSS later still belongs to its producer namespace — organize by who builds it, not by how it ships. Default to @quinn when no distinct company/product producer applies. "lilith"/"egirl" are NOT producers — they are version names of the ct platform lineage (see platform_versions).
