Hold the licence-field claim to what the reading supports (#1)

[iderex]

Scope: decisions/, README.md

A correction to two sentences that landed with #142 and were argued in #1.

What was wrong

README.md and decisions/licensing.md each said that nothing on the platform
side can be made to state both licences this tree grants under. One command sat
behind that, and it says something narrower:

gh api repos/Flowfin/hub --jq '.license.spdx_id'
AGPL-3.0

That reading is about one field. Whether some other surface of the platform could
be made to carry a second licence was never looked at, so the sentence asserted an
absence over a population that had not been read. It is the defect the first rule
here is written against, and it is worse in these two files than it would be
almost anywhere else: they are what a reader consults about licences, so the
sentence would have been quoted onward rather than checked.

What is here instead

The property the reading actually shows, which is that the field is a single
object and cannot hold two:

gh api repos/Flowfin/hub --jq '.license | type'
object

gh api repos/Flowfin/hub --jq '.license'
{"key":"agpl-3.0","name":"GNU Affero General Public License v3.0","node_id":"MDc6TGljZW5zZTE=","spdx_id":"AGPL-3.0","url":"https://api.github.com/licenses/agpl-3.0"}

Run 2026-08-25. Both sites now state that, say in one sentence that no claim is
being made about other surfaces, and give the positive reason the declaration is
a file in the tree: the tree is where this repository answers a licence question.

Nothing about which licence reaches which byte changes, and the parts of the
declaration are untouched.

The means

Markdown, in the two files being corrected. No language, no runtime and no
dependency is added, and site-links-resolve, format and editorconfig read
these bytes as they read the rest.

The gate

go run . gate

green at 8456e13, 14 of 14 legs examined and passed.

The harness did not run and none of its three requirements was asked for:
needs-network, needs-browser, needs-jellyfin. No leg depends on any of them, so
this verdict is complete for what the gate covers and is evidence of nothing the
harness would have measured.

Guards

None added. This is prose, and no leg of this gate has a licence as its subject.

The reader

There is no second reader on this board tonight. Every claim above carries the
command that produced it, re-runnable at 8456e13, and that stands in place of
one.
